Rashid Buttar is an American osteopathic physician from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is known for his controversial use of chelation therapy for numerous conditions, including autism and cancer.[1] He has been reprimanded by the North Carolina Board of Medical Examiners for unethical treatment of patients, charging four cancer patients exorbitant fees for unncessary tests and treatments, and mistreating four patients whom he falsely diagnosed with mercury toxicity.[2]. He was sued by the U.S. Justice Department in 1997 for failing to repay a $113,783.59 military scholarship obligation. In 1999, the case was settled with a consent agreement under which he agreed to pay $115,500 [3].
Buttar was born in London in 1966 and immigrated with his parents to the U.S. at the age of 9. He attended Washington University, graduating with a degree in biology and theology, and then earned his degree in osteopathy at Des Moines University. According to his website, he worked as a surgeon with the U.S. Army for several years but did not achieve any medical qualification.[4]
He came to public attention in 2009 when he used chelation therapy on a woman named Desiree Jennings, who claimed to have lost her ability to walk or talk normally after receiving a flu shot.[1][5] He has been criticized for his use of chelation,[1] and for his use of intravenous hydrogen peroxide to treat cancer.[6]
In 2007, Buttar was charged by the North Carolina Board of Medical Examiners with unethical treatment of four cancer patients.[7] The panel recommended that Buttar's "license be suspended indefinitely, but that the suspension be immediately stayed".[8] In 2010 the board, in response to this and other concerns, chose to formally reprimand Buttar but allowed him to continue to practice.[2][9]
Sounds like a credible guy!
