A licensed quack?
Pair arrested for practicing homeopathy without a license
Based on the results of an undercover investigation, the Salt Lake County district attorney has charged Lorraine Ann Lonnie and Karyl Eugene Harkins with unlawful and unprofessional conduct for practicing homeopathic medicine without a license. Both worked at Salt Lake Homeopathy in Salt Lake City, Nevada. An investigator who consulted Harkins for "pressure in the head, shoulder pain, frequent urination, and frequent thirst" reported that Harkins placed two fingers on the investigators arm, asked questions, then diagnosed "worms, fluxes, bacteria in his body, and 26 kinds of tape worms." and sold $259 in supplements. An investigator who did a similar investigation of Lonnie reported being diagnosed with allergies, parasites, fungal infections, rickets and softening of the bones. Both agents were sold supplement products. Harkins has no health-related license. Lonnie has been licensed as a massage therapist but exceeded the legal scope of her practice. [Jones C.

(7,044 posts)OMG - another Scientific Materialist Medical Doctor endangering the public with Evil Poo.
Scientific Materialist Poo Perps are a clear and present danger. For sure.
Because there is a phony freak MD somewhere in the universe, maybe we should denigrate and CONDEMN all of them?

"the body of the 59-year-old physician was discovered in the upstate home of a relative on Feb. 4 as authorities identified 25 other suspects in the $550 million oxycodone ring, authorities said.
Police in Amherst, N.Y., found the lifeless Virey in the bedroom of a home where prescription drugs were located. Toxicology tests will determine if the death that evening was an accident or a suicide.
