Would you tarnish your reputation for the sake of getting a PhD?

The website loads for me, but it takes a long time to do so. I love this quote from one of their "graduates":

The graphics were amazing, the topics followed a logical sequence that built upon each other creating better understanding.

When the first thing that students of a "university" praise is the graphics, that's suspicious.

My husband just showed me an alert from out internet provider. They are blocking the website! That's interesting! 

Yeah every school I've ever been interested in the very first thing I check out are the graphics. That's what really matters. Maybe the graphics are all it has going for itself.

Nature Medicine? Where's a grammar checker? The list of healthcare fields he's supposedly able to combine together seems bogus. In my state he wouldn't be able to be licensed to do all of them. He would have needed a Doctor of Chiropractic to practice. Many of his disciplines requiring degrees and licensing in my state. I can see why. What on Earth is a Doctorate and PhD? A PhD IS a doctorate! He completed a master's and a doctorate in 14 months? No way. Not legit degrees in medicine. This place sounds totally bogus. Another sketchy school from Hawaii. Big shocker. Their website doesn't appear to be functioning at the moment.

This guy sounds bogus as well. From his website he states that he treats Kanye West amongst others. He also hasn't a clue what degrees he holds.

Dr. Navin holds a Ph.D. and a Doctorate in Natural Medicine.

While I agree with all of this I also need to point out that he doesn't need a state practitioner's license to act as a "consultant" to any number of high rollers like Kanye.  This guy is working outside of the mainstream and so mainstream credentials are unnecessary.  I'd guess that he has a charismatic presentation and knows more than a little bit about marketing and sales.  There are always people like this around and in some ways it reminds me of some of the better known televangelists.

In my state he would need a license. They're REALLY strict about practicing ANYTHING without a license. There's a woman who has been arrested and criminally charged for working as a midwife in the Mennonite community. It was REALLY ugly. 

This guy sounds like a crock.
