New York AG orders televangelist Jim Bakker to stop advertising 'Silver Solution' as coronavirus treatment

As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declares a state of emergency amid a spike in coronavirus cases, the state's attorney general, Letitia James, is going after a Chrisitan televangelist for "false advertising."

A guest of The Jim Bakker Show on Feb. 12, Sherrill Sellman, was asked if the "Silver Solution," sold for $125 on his website, would be effective against the coronavirus.

"Let's say it hasn't been tested on this strain of the coronavirus," Sellman, a naturopathic doctor, is quoted as saying, "but it's been tested on other trains of the coronavirus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours."

Lisa Landau sent a "cease and desist" letter to Bakker, who has previously served jail time for federal fraud and conspiracy charges in the 90s, on March 3 giving him 10 business days to comply or possibly face a fine of $5,000 per violation.

"but it's been tested on other trains"

Hardly anyone takes the train anymore, and we don't even know which railroad service. Is it Amtrak, is it Western? I'll stick with vitamin C for now.

I thought this guys was dead!

Interesting that he is promoting colloidial silver because I know someone who she and I nearly broke a friendship over this crap and now I think I know where she is getting her info from.

Good grief. Why do people believe there is a magic cure for everything wrapped up in one thing.

Didn’t the stories of the gold doorknobs clue these people in as to this guys true agenda?

This guy used to be at the top of my list of lying snake oil salesman until Alex Jones came along. Looks like he wants his spot at the top of that list back.

This guy is bad enough that he would qualify to work at the AMA. The premiere snake oil organization in history - The AMA.

You know, sometimes I think Jim should have been the Bakker, who got the ass cancer, instead of Tammy Faye. He deserves it more than she did...

(yes, I’m going to Hell for saying that. :P )
