Magistrate judge evicts 'Cancer Mafia'

Fed up with not getting cancer totally out of his body, 83-year-old Ken Lindsey sought a non-medical approach to beat the renegade cells.

He turned to the legal system.

"I've had business in courthouses in my time. I decided to go to court and asked if I could file a case against cancer in my body and get it evicted. I filed it against the Cancer Mafia and associates, Lucifer and his minions," Lindsey said Monday.

Court officials at first told Lindsey the request wasn't in their jurisdiction.

But he persisted and was allowed to speak to the judge on Feb. 2.

Magistrate Judge Janemarie Vander Dussen listened.

She agreed the court had no jurisdiction, but she would allow Lindsey to file the request for eviction.

"She ordered that my motion be granted and the defendants should immediately be evicted and shall not return to the plaintiff," Lindsey said.

While there is no official record of the judge's action, Vander Dussen said she also ordered "the plaintiff shall have a lifetime restraining order against the defendants."

"I'm honored to help Dr. Lindsey with his eviction," the judge said.

Lindsey said he discovered he had prostate cancer in 2023.

"I don't like my body to betray me," he said.

Lindsey said he believes the cancer came about from an additional stress level in his life from having a brain injury.

"The stress put additional stress on my immune system. Cancer is always lurking near for all of us," he said.

"Harvard University did a study four years ago in which it was stated that 80% of all medical encounters are due to stress."

Lindsey said he was beating himself up over the cancer.

"I felt that I had failed myself by not diagnosing my cancer because I am a doctor of chiropractic," Lindsey said.

Lindsey later learned the cancer had metastasized into some of his bones.

"They eliminated the prostate cancer with radiation treatments but the cancer in my bones was still there, so I started chemotherapy," he said.

Lindsey said his desire for the "order to evict" rose from when he decided he wanted the cancer "completely out and out right away."

"I had the congregations of two different churches praying for me along with my numerous family members," he said.

Lindsey said he believes optimism is important in fighting cancer.

"I'm having good success in my treatment. And this little bit of levity (with the 'eviction order') has boosted my immune system," Lindsey said.
