青岛希尼尔翻译公司（www.sinosenior.com）2018年11月10日了解到：A
California author who preaches alternative medicine has been ordered to
pay $105 million to a mother-of-four who said he falsely promised to
cure her breast cancer.
由于向一位4个孩子的母亲虚假允诺治愈其乳腺癌，加州一位鼓吹替代疗法的作者近日被判赔偿1.05亿美元（约合7.27亿元人民币）。
San Diego jurors ordered Robert O Young Wednesday to pay medical
expenses and damages to terminally-ill Dawn Kali, 45, after she was
convinced by Young to forgo chemotherapy and spend thousands for his
treatments.
周三，圣迭戈的陪审团判决罗伯特-欧-杨向癌症晚期病人、45岁的道恩-凯莉支付医疗费和赔偿金。此前罗伯特-欧-杨说服她放弃化疗，花费数千美元使用他的疗法。
She later sued for fraud and negligence when the cancer ultimately
spread, giving her just four years to live.
之后凯莉体内的癌细胞最终扩散，医生说她只剩4年生命。她起诉罗伯特-欧-杨诈骗和过失罪。
This comes over a year after Young was convicted of practicing medicine
without a license and sentenced to nearly four years in prison. He
ultimately served just a few months.
在一年多前，罗伯特-欧-杨被判无证行医罪，并被判处近4年监禁。但他最终只服刑几个月。
Young wrote The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health and
several other best-selling books promoting an alternative theory of
fighting illness.
罗伯特-欧-杨曾著有《PH奇迹：平衡饮食，恢复健康》等数本畅销书，推广其抵御疾病的替代疗法。
His treatments are based on the theory that acidity causes disease and
preaches an alkaline diet as a cure all.
他的疗法基于酸性体质会导致疾病这样一种理论，并鼓吹碱性饮食包治百病。
Kali said Young had advised her to delay regular chemotherapy treatment
and instead spend thousands on massages, colon cleansing and baking soda
infusions at Young's Valley Center retreat.
凯莉说，罗伯特-欧-杨建议她延缓常规化疗，而是让她在其山谷治疗中心花费了数千美元进行按摩、灌肠和小苏打输液治疗。
She finally sought medical help in 2013 after the cancer spread to her
bones and developed into stage four. The mother-of-four has been given
four years to live。
在癌细胞骨转移、发展到四期后，她最终在2013年去医院就诊。医生说她只剩4年生命。
'The jury listened carefully and understood the gravity of the evidence,
and rendered a verdict that was commensurate with the damage Ms. Kali
suffered, and will suffer,' Kali's lawyer Patrick Swan said.
凯莉的律师帕特里克-斯旺说：“陪审团认真听取了法庭辩论，了解到了证据的严重性，最终宣布的裁决与凯莉女士已经受到，以及将要承受的损失相当。”
He also told the San Diego Tribune that he hopes the verdict 'will have
an effect on the miracle, cure-all cancer industry.'
他还告诉《圣迭戈论坛报》说，希望这一裁决“能影响到这一神奇且宣称包治百病的抗癌产业。”
The $105 million award includes $90 million for pain and suffering and
$15 million for punitive damages.
1.05亿美元的赔偿金中包括9000万美元身体疼痛和精神损失，以及1500万美元的惩罚金。

But on Friday, Young called the ruling 'totally outrageous'.
不过，周五的时候，罗伯特-欧-杨表示这一判罚“让人愤怒”。
His attorney Conrad Joyner said he plans to appeal the ruling.
他的律师康拉德-乔伊娜称其代理人计划上诉。
'No matter if you believe in The pH Miracle or disbelieve it, it's clear
that Robert believes it,' Joyner said. 'He sincerely believes what he is
doing.'
乔伊娜说：“不论你是否相信酸碱值理论，显然罗伯特是相信的。他完全确信他正在做些什么。”
His theories and treatments of intravenous fluids mixed with baking soda
went for as much as $500 each.
按照他的理论和疗法，他在给病人静脉输液时混入小苏打，每支要价500美元。
The judge called Young a 'fraud' Friday while Deputy District Attorney
Gina Darvas said he took advantage of desperate and dying people with
his pseudoscience.
周五，法官称罗伯特-欧-杨是个“诈骗犯”，地方副检察官吉娜-达尔瓦斯说他宣传伪科学，利用了身患重病的人们极度渴望求生的心理。
She argued that his degrees came from a non-accredited 'diploma mill'
Young received a doctorate in eight months in 1995.
她表示，罗伯特-欧-杨的文凭来自一所不被认可的“野鸡大学”。他在1995年仅用了8个月时间就拿到了博士学位。
Treatments are no longer provided at Young’s property and he was ordered
to publicly announce that he is not a medical or naturopathic doctor nor
a trained scientist.
罗伯特-欧-杨的诊疗室不再提供治疗，法院还要求他公开宣布自己不是一个医生或自然疗法医师，也不是受过培训的科学家。
