This section shall apply to any individual, person, firm, association, or other entity that renders health care or services to individuals who have or believe they have cancer. This section also applies to any individual, person, firm, association, or other entity that by implication causes individuals to believe they have cancer. The failure to either provide the sample, disclose the formula, or name the ingredients as required by this section shall be conclusively presumed that the drug, medicine, compound or device that is the subject of the department’s request has no value in the diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, or cure of cancer.
