Good for the skin! Good for everything according to his claims. It can cure AIDS and cancer!! I'm glad that the ASA aren't letting this nonsense be broadcast.  |

Kicking Peter Popoff doesn't seem to do much good. Randi wiped the floor with him quite a few years ago but he's bounced back like a smelly, dog-chewed rubber ball. Still, it's good to know that even in the USA you can't flog cancer-curing soap without falling foul of the law...

No, but it would make me feel a whole lot better. Might chuck a few right hands and upper-cuts in there too... Kicking Peter Popoff doesn't seem to do much good.

I’m about to place another complaint about him to the ASA. On his Peter Popoff ministry show that was aired on Passion TV on Friday 5th October he was promoting his Miracle Spring water again. In the show he claimed that the water could cure diabetes, Cancer and had brought financial rewards to people using it.
I’ll let you know how I get along with the complaint.
