A medical professional has been removed from the medical register following revelations that he operated an unlicensed clinic, charging cancer patients exorbitant fees for ineffective treatments involving garlic oil and vitamin C. Dr Mohsen Ali, whose license was revoked in 2015, treated two individuals diagnosed with prostate and ovarian cancer in 2018 from a severely neglected property in Leicester described as resembling a council house. During the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearings, it was disclosed that Ali claimed the National Health Service (NHS) was deliberately harming patients while pharmaceutical companies profited.
The case drew attention after a patient reported Ali’s activities to Leicestershire Police, which subsequently alerted the General Medical Council (GMC). Born in Egypt, Ali graduated from Cairo University in 1994, began practicing medicine in the UK in 2001, and maintained a full medical license from 2004 until it was taken away in January 2015. The MPTS proceedings commenced in December 2025, with sessions continuing into April 2026. It was found that Ali assured both patients he could cure their cancers with a 90% success rate, charging between £10,000 and £15,000 for treatments.
The tribunal revealed that Ali administered intravenous vitamin C and garlic oil, reusing IV bags, which posed serious infection risks. He was found to have knowingly provided unproven treatments and acted dishonestly. Despite not attending the tribunal, Ali denied the allegations via email, insisting he never claimed to cure cancer. However, a flyer seized during a police search contradicted his denial; it portrayed him as a qualified doctor who had left the NHS because chemotherapy and radiotherapy were ineffective, and it claimed the treatments he offered cured many cancers, boasting a 90% cure rate for challenging illnesses.
One patient, battling stage three prostate cancer, testified that Ali dismissed the severity of the condition, laughing and calling it “easy to cure.” The sessions took place at Ali’s semi‑detached home, which public health inspectors found to be unhygienic, with contaminated surfaces and equipment reused without proper sterilization. The space blurred residential and clinical boundaries, being described as “dirty and unhygienic.” The other patient, suffering terminal ovarian cancer, died after discontinuing treatment but before investigations were completed. Her husband recounted how Ali challenged NHS advice, asserting that chemotherapy was ineffective and accusing the NHS and pharmaceutical companies of harmful motives. The tribunal concluded that Ali failed to secure informed consent for the alternative treatments he provided, which an expert witness confirmed lacked any scientific support for curing cancer
