Going to be doing a piece on this bloke shortly, Andrew McKellar

www.andrewmckellar.com/



I thought I would give you all a heads up about it as there is a fair amount of work to be done on it, and I didn't want anyone to come across him and think we weren't doing anything about him!

This man is as close to Jesus as you'll ever get, he heals those with only an hour to live, he claims miraculous cures for cancer (Totally against the Cancer Act), there is NOTHING this man cannot cure, in between doing his Elvis impersonation that is...

The sad thing is, one of the testimonials I found, and one of the people he actually has a video of, giving his testimonial, has since died.

Phil Hurst, UK: “A few months ago I was told the shattering news that I had lung cancer – two tumours on my right lung. I was offered the option of having chemotherapy but after careful thought I refused it for fear of the side-effects. I’m a keen runner and have regularly taken part in the London marathon. My specialist told me that I would never run again. I went to Andrew for a course of healing and when I returned to my local hospital my specialist was astounded to find no trace of the tumours. What can I say? I can’t thank Andrew enough – the heat from his hands was extraordinary. My marathon running continues!”

and his tribute:

Notice:

The family wish to thank all those devoted doctors and nurses who made his last hours so comfortable, and also those who have helped him fight his illness over the past three years.

and

but donations, if desired to Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie Cancer Care

No mention of Andrew McKellar then? Yet he still uses Mr Hurst on a video to advertise his 'cure'.

I will do the article soon. In the meantime, have a look at his 'tributes'

(On a side note, if you watch the You tube clip, the reporter is given 'treatment'. On McKellars video testimonies on his site, he ALWAYS asks the people about seeing lights when his hands are over their eyes. Watch the You tube clip at 2:25 when his hands are over the reporters eyes, the lights in the room are flashing, its no wonder people think they are seeing lights....)

Disgusting. Is it even worth writing to his MP when Nina Knowland's was so totally uninterested?

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Do you want me to publish this Meercat, or do you want me to wait for the full piece?

Not just yet thanks mate, I'll do a proper article about him. He deserves my full attention.

Miracle worker - Andrew McKellar

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Decency has left the building"

When not performing his favourite Elvis or Buddy Holly songs or combing his quiff, Andrew McKellar is curing the incurable.

www.andrewmckellar.com (best to use 'Wayback' to view his 'Tributes', his current site relies heavily on flash graphics and its easier to read the 'text only' sites)

McKellar has quite obviously never heard of the Cancer Act 1939:

(1) No person shall take any part in the publication of any advertisement—
(a) containing an offer to treat any person for cancer, or to prescribe any remedy therefor, or to give any advice in connection with the treatment thereof;
(2) If any person contravenes any of the provisions of the foregoing subsection, he shall be liable on summary conviction, [to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale] or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such a fine and such imprisonment.

You see, McKellars site is almost entirely about his ability to cure cancer. Including one person who was given just an hour to live.....

"Elizabeth, Southampton, UK: “I suffered with lung cancer… I was in hospital and given only one hour to live. My family called Andrew McKellar, the healer. He placed his hands on my upper chest and the heat was amazing! The cancer vanished and he then cured my arthritis.”

Yes, not only did he cure the incurable, he then went on to fix her arthritis as a finale.

I suggest a quick conversation with someone like a MacMillan nurse to find out exactly what state the body will be in in the last hour of lung cancer. 'Curing' someone of lung cancer in the last hour of their life is as close as you'll get to actually resurrecting the dead. This was indeed a miracle. You'll remember reading about it in the papers, and seeing it on the news. No? You're right, neither did I.

Lets have a look at some of his other miracle cures:

Malcolm, Bournemouth, UK: “After being diagnosed with bowel cancer and given chemotherapy I was then told it had been unsuccessful and that I only had a short time to live. After seeing Andrew my cancer vanished - to the amazement of the medical establishment.”

Jane, Southampton, UK: “I was diagnosed with an incurable lung disease and I was told that I was going to die. The doctor made me as comfortable as possible. Andrew McKellar cured me … to the utter amazement of the specialist.”

Percy, Bournemouth, UK: “I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. The bleeding stopped one hour after Andrew placed his hands on me. On my next trip to hospital they found no abnormalities.”

Peggy, Southampton, UK: “I had bladder cancer. I was told I would have to have an operation and a permanent colostomy bag. After seeing Andrew the cancer vanished.”

Gail Angel, UK: “I was diagnosed with a tumour on the lung the size of a walnut. I was told that I would have to have chemotherapy. Knowing the risks of side-effects I refused it. I heard about Andrew McKellar’s success in being able to disperse tumours with his healing ability. May family and I were totally amazed. Four weeks after seeing Andrew, I had another scan – the tumour had gone. My medical experts were astounded.”

Tracy Watson, UK: “I had a large mass of cancer on the spine and was told that not only was it chemo-resistant but that nothing at all could be done to treat it. It was suggested that I had little time left. I started to see Andrew and a recent scan showed that the tumour is now practically non-existent. To say that the specialist was amazed is an understatement. The heat from Andrew’s hands is awesome. My husband and I would like to thank Andrew for sharing with us his wonderful gift of healing.”

“I suffered with bowel and lung cancer – not long to live. I went to Andrew and the cancer vanished. Lungs clear, bowel clear. Amazing. Thank you Andrew.”

Do you remember seeing all these miracles splashed all over the newspapers? No, neither do I. Wouldn't you think if not McKellar, the people cured would be shouting from the rooftops about these miracles? I know I would.

So I thought I would search the Internet for these people and their miraculous cures. I found only two. A Tim Bayliss who features on McKellers video interviews on his site, and on a BBC local news program about McKellar:



Although other than that there is no mention of this miracle cure that I can find anywhere.

Another person to appear in McKellars videos claiming that he had been cured from cancer is a Mr Phil Hurst. He also features on the written 'Tributes', first appearing on the site in January 2005:

Phil Hurst, UK: “A few months ago I was told the shattering news that I had lung cancer – two tumours on my right lung. I was offered the option of having chemotherapy but after careful thought I refused it for fear of the side-effects. I’m a keen runner and have regularly taken part in the London marathon. My specialist told me that I would never run again. I went to Andrew for a course of healing and when I returned to my local hospital my specialist was astounded to find no trace of the tumours. What can I say? I can’t thank Andrew enough – the heat from his hands was extraordinary. My marathon running continues!”

Very sadly, when searching for Mr Hurst on the Internet, I found this from November 2006:

"The funeral service of Phil Hurst takes place today at St John's Church, Rownhams, followed by a private cremation."
archive.dailyecho.co.uk/2006/11/6/108147.html

"Family flowers only please, but donations, if desired to Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie Cancer Care"
www.romseyadvertiser.co.uk/announcements/bmdsarch/index.php/2006/11/3/

Yet McKellar still uses Mr Hurst's 'tribute' and video interview as 'proof' off his miracle cures.

Is McKellar mentioned in the Acknowledgments for Mr Hurst's funeral? No, Cancer Research and Marie Curie are.

We have looked at some some disgusting claims on this site in the past, but this has to top them all.

that guy is sick. No sense of decency at all.

[exile]

Just when you thought you'd come across the sickest of them all someone like him turns up!! Absolutely disgusting!

[volksjager]

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it . Sick is not the word for this odious individual . Must invite him to my small village in Wales , lynch mobs may be illegal but tend to turn a blind eye every now and then . But seriously , lets hope for a prosecution in this case .
Nice work Meercat , have a karma .

We already know that MPs don't seem particularly worried about dangerous quacks in their own back yards, so it might be worth going straight to the top - Health Minister Ben Bradshaw.

www.benbradshaw.co.uk/biog/

You never know, he might be better informed about the Cancer Act. If my computer holds out long enough (for 'tis on its last legs) I'll e-mail him all the BadPsychics info on McKellar, Knowland and Mannion.

And would anyone care to join me in leaving comments on McKellar's three YouTube videos? None of them actually mention the late Phil Hurst, but we can always remind Andrew that his website still includes Mr Hurst as a cured 'success story'.

[julia]

I've e-mailed Meercat's article to Southampton Trading Standards and to the local paper that printed Mr Phil Hurst's obituary. They haven't had chance to reply yet but I'll keep you all posted.

I've also sent the following e-mail to Freddie Rostand, who hosted the show on which McKellar appeared last year:

'Dear Mr Rostand,

In January 2007 your show featured an interview with 'healer' Andrew McKellar, who was presented as a classic English eccentric. I'd like to draw your attention to this article:

badpsychics.com/thefraudfiles/modules/news/article.php?storyid=643

As you can see, Mr McKellar is far from being a harmless eccentric. The contents of his website are in flagrant contravention of the Cancer Act and he is still claiming to have cured Mr Phil Hurst, who in fact died of cancer on 25th October 2006. Would you be willing to do a follow-up on McKellar? Having given him some valuable free publicity I think you owe it to your viewers to redress the balance.'

Again, I'll keep you all posted.

[julia]

I have just received this e-mail from Southampton Trading Standards:

'Thank you for your email 5th January 2008. I am sorry to read of your concerns regarding Mr Andrew McKeller.

I have had a quick look at Mr McKeller’s web-site and notice that this telephone number begins with 01489, this means that he is likely to based out side the Southampton City Boundary.

If Mr McKellar is in contravention of the Cancer Act 1939 they will take the most appropriate action.

Let's hope something comes of this.

We should be positive, at least they replied and said they will pass it on to the right offices

Anymore news on this?

[julia]

I recently posted comments on McKellar's three YouTube videos asking why he was still using the late Phil Hurst as an example of his success in treating cancer. Two of the videos have since been removed and the third one has had my comments removed.

Yep, the 'interviews' have since been removed from his site, replaced with 'coming attractions'......

I think the last hour of anybody dying of cancer is beyond help. If this guy had been around when my dad was in his final hours with his brain tumour then I would have asked him to leave immediately.

For one, my dad could not move anything, he even lost the ability to swallow and open his eyes. Another reason he was drugged up to the nines and could not feel anything anyway (at least I hope he didn't). He did not believe in anything of the sort and would have told Mr McKellar were to go in no uncertain terms. (He would have been well suited to this site being an athiest and biggest non-believer of anything paranormal going).

So someone in their final hours of cancer (and I have witnessed a couple in the family), is in no way able to be completely cured and restored to health.
1. They are dying and the body is shutting down
2. They are drugged up beyond belief and well out of it
3. It's beyond the control of anyone - nature takes its course
I don't want to sound horrible but that is how it was for my Uncle and father who both died within 6 months of each other from this dreadful disease. I would have sold my house, car and soul if it meant my father being cured but it wasn't going to happen.
I say
1. Thank goodness for the pain relief drugs
2. Thank goodness for the nurses (especially MacMilans)
3. Thank goodness death put an end to his awful suffering because it was the most harrowing thing I have ever had to witness. There are thousands out there now in the very same position I was 3½ years ago and the last thing they need is false hope from twats like McKellar.

[lilacearthwitch]

On another point; even if the scientists, researchers, professors and all that suddenly discovered a cure for all cancers Mother Nature would find something else to take its place. It's a fact, we're born, we live, we die.

McKellar in Mallorca.
Mr Andrew McKellar is visiting Mallorca in May 2014 to do some healing. Or to be more precise he will visit Mallorca if twenty people are prepared to pay 300 UK Pounds each for a course of treatment.
My wife has MS and some of Mr McKellar's devotees are trying to get her to sign up for treatment. I have told her that in my opinion it will be a bit difficult to make an informed judgement on her cure as at the moment she is having treatment in the local Spanish National Health Hospital in Manacor. I did suggest that she makes a deal with Mr McKellar that he gives her the treatment for free and she pays him in a years time when the MS has cleared up. I sense that she is not 100% convinced of my logic especially as she is being told that a local man from Felanitx suffering from liver cancer went to Southampton to see Mr McKellar and is now completely cured and a beautician from Cala D'or suffering from pancreatic cancer did the same and is also completely cured.
What more can I say, any suggestions?
