In a civil judgment Thursday in Jersey City, N.J., a seven-member jury found Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH) and its co-founder, in violation of the state’s Consumer Fraud Act.
The attorney for four ex-patients of Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing accused the group of offering “junk science” and lies, while JONAH’s attorney said the group’s practices are widely used and many patients report satisfaction with the results.
