Dr. Kwasi Donyina didn’t mess around when he came up with the name for his latest venture: The Centre for Incurable Diseases.

“By the grace of God we have found cures to almost all incurable diseases,” the 70-something professional engineer with no official medical training tells CityNews.

“We cure all cancers from stages 1, 2, 3 – but stage 4- the person’s life can be extended for some time, but we don’t guarantee.”

He says it is all about energy and infrared technology.

“Once you take the vitamins and minerals, the alkaline water and the infrared bed, you will be cured from almost every disease,” Donyina promises.

His office is massive – and largely empty – on the fifth floor of an Edward Street office tower in the middle of hospital row. Shelves are lined with vitamins and mixes, he pulls out a special infrared-infused mattress, and shows us how he can increase the PH level of his water, to make it healthier and more hydrating. He chose the location, he says, because he wanted to be near Princess Margaret Hospital and Toronto General patients.

Kerry Bowman, a bioethicist, is concerned the location gives him easier access to desperate patients, looking for miracles.

“This gentleman has an absolute right to his opinions,” said Bowman. “What worries me about the ethics of this would be the kind of extreme vulnerability that people who have life threatening illnesses are facing and that they are so scared and so desperate that they may go and make use of his services with no evidence whatsoever.”

Donyina says his three-pronged, all-natural solution is solid. “I have done 21 clinical trials using vital energy to cure diseases.”

He says the results of using infrared-infused mattresses, alkaline water and a mixture of 90 vitamins and minerals were promising, but those trials were never reported.

“I tried to publish the results, but no medical journal will publish it – the reason being is that there is no money in the cure.”

But there’s big money here. Our producer went undercover into the centre to find out the costs, which start at about $3,000 for the system. Costs quickly climb once you improve the quality of your mattress or, depending on how much water you use. He says customers can come to his office and fill up with their water for free, although its unlikely many would choose to head downtown every few days. The specially filtered water needs to be drunk within 48 hours, according to the label.

There’s no legal mechanism for the Ministry of Health to intervene because Donyina isn’t a registered medical professional.

But medical devices and vitamins, which are used in his clinic, are regulated by the federal government. Health Canada had yet to respond to our questions about the clinic’s legitimacy.

Donyina insists he’s the real deal. But he admits he couldn’t save his wife, who lost her battle with cancer just a few years ago. He says it’s because, as a pharmacist, she refused his methods.

While he acknowledges no system is fool-proof, he claims to have an answer if all else fails.

“I’m not a pastor but, God has anointed me that if I put my hands on a sick person, on their forehead, and pray, God will heal that person through me.”
