Eric Hovind is an uneducated huckster who has followed in the footsteps of his father Kent Hovind, a convicted felon and creationist wingnut. After his father's ten-year prison sentence in 2007, Eric took over Creation Science Evangelism and renamed it Creation Today in 2012. Rationalwiki "Hovind’s God Quest, Inc, doing business as Creation Today, until recently was selling laetrile as a cancer cure. Laetrile was given the fake name, “vitamin B17” to make it seem more natural, when of course it is not a vitamin at all. Hovind was selling B17 amygdalin, raw bitter apricot seeds (which contain amygdalin) and the quack book, World Without Cancer, which promotes both laetrile and the conspiracy theory that the medical establishment is hiding a cure for cancer."
