While O’Neill has faced scrutiny in the past – on September 24, 2019, the HCCC indefinitely banned her from providing health services or education in any form – she was never arrested.
Authorities imposed the ban after O’Neill advised cancer patients to avoid chemotherapy in favor of bicarbonate of soda and recommended unpasteurized milk for infants.
Despite widespread criticism of her health practices and past controversies, no legal actions have led to her arrest.
As of now, O’Neill continues to be active online, promoting alternative health practices and wellness content.
In fact, her recent content has resurfaced on her active Facebook page, where she continues to share her views and engage with her followers.
