Aaron Phypers Faces Legal Troubles Over His Business
But not all is rosy in Phypers' world. The wellness entrepreneur is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, brought forth by former patient Rupert Perry. The complaint surfaced in November 2024 after Perry’s late wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, tragically passed following treatment at Phypers' clinic — only to have her cancer worsen by 25 percent.
According to the filing, “[Phypers] claimed that the treatment had a 98 percent success rate and he was so confident in it that, if it did not work, he would refund to Ms. Katsioula-Beall and Mr. Perry fifty percent (50 percent) of the money they to him for the treatment.”
Perry alleges that he never received the promised $63,000 reimbursement after his wife’s death in May 2024. So far, Phypers has kept mum regarding the lawsuit.
