NAMBOUR man Darryl Peter Jones, who claimed he could cure cancer with diet and exercise, has had his appeal against a court order shutting down his business dismissed.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission won an interim injunction in March against Mr Jones, the founder of The Darryl Jones Health Resolution Centre.
The injunction stopped Mr Jones from promoting his treatments without first obtaining written medical or scientific advice in support of his treatment from a registered medical practitioner.
Before it was shut down, Mr Jones' website advertised a cancer treatment program involving an exercise regime, vitamin B17, faith and the restriction of glucose in the diet.
The ACCC alleges Mr Jones' medical treatment claims are misleading or deceptive.
The appeal was dismissed in the Federal Court of Australia on May 18 by Justice Berna Collier.
Mr Jones and the ACCC will now appear before Justice John Logan in the Brisbane Federal Court of Australia for a directions hearing.
