Darrell Wolfe is the Canadian founder of The Wolfe Clinic in Toronto, and is most notable for being accused of quackery by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[1][2]

Career

edit

Wolfe's own website describes him as a doctor of natural medicine,[3] and he describes himself as a "health practitioner",[4] and the "Doc of Detox".[5]

In 1991, Wolfe wrote an article that claimed that milk was dangerous and polluted with toxins, prompting litigation and a retraction from the magazine's publisher.[2] In 1994, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television program show Marketplace reported on Wolfe selling machines that claimed to cure HIV/AIDS via the rectal administration of ozone.[2] Wolfe sold the machines from his business, The Wolfe Clinic, in Toronto.[2] After closing the clinic, Wolfe began operating from the city of Ixtapa in Mexico, from where he sells educational programs and purported cures for diseases including cancer.[3]
