BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Hernando County deputies said they arrested a man in Brooksville for practicing medicine without a license out of his home.
Deputies said an undercover investigator posed as a patient and went to Michael Fagan, 62, for a “consolation” Thursday morning where the suspect “prescribed” herbs to fight cancer.
The investigator said Fagan told the investigator to take herbs and various other things to kill cancer and toxins in the body.
Fagan told the undercover investigator that the herbs would fight cancer like a natural chemo, according to law enforcement. Fagan also told the investigator he would supply a high-level selenium that would double the patient’s life expectancy and create more antibodies, deputies said.
Fagan also allegedly told the investigator a “high frequency generator machine ‘emanates a frequency to where microbes live.’” And that it “targets cancer and destroys it, ‘poof.’”
Fagan also recommended the investigator use medical cannabis once a week but also three or four times would be better, deputies said.
Department of Health investigators said they determined Fagan committed a felony by offering medical services by a person who was not a licensed healthcare professional.
Deputies said when they were interviewing Fagan, he told them he had been seeing clients and selling supplements. Detectives said Fagan also told them the high frequency machine he had been using was not his but actually belonged to his neighbor.
Fagan was charged with unlicensed practice of a healthcare professional.
