A 69-year-old man from Southern California is facing multiple charges after being accused of giving a cancer patient an array of powders, expired drugs, and even a “baggie of dirt” at one point.

It started with a 49-year-old woman from Ventura County who had late-stage cancer and visited the office of Vincent Gammill in Richmond, according to an SFGate report.

The woman was desperate and after seeing his website a few years before, she decided he was worth a shot. When Gammill examined her, he told her to change the medication she had been using from her primary doctor, and charged her $2,000.

In exchange, Gammill gave her some “treatments” — these consisted of small baggies of powders, empty capsules, vials of liquid, expired real drugs, and even a baggie of dirt, according to investigators. He even told the woman that one of the powders was extremely powerful and could burn a hole in the table.

Gammill is also accused of using a frying pan to demonstrate how to mix the elixirs. The woman took a capsule and then reported a burning sensation in her stomach, but Gammill told her it meant the ingredients were active.

But it didn’t end there. The woman complained of the pain, prompting the police to get involved. They looked into Gammill’s records and could find no evidence of him having medical training, and Gammill claimed he was offering alternative medicine.

Gammill was arrested July 9 and was charged with unlawful practice of medicine, as well as dispensing or furnishing drugs without a license. He has a court date on Aug. 31 in Venture County Superior Court.
