Is Dr. Joel Wallach a scam?

[browneyes124]

My bf mom loves him but I was reading his book " dead doctors don't lie" and found a lot of false facts. Like he said the average life expectancy for doctors are 55 or 58 but studies from the American medical association and other studies clearly say that the average expectancy for somewhere from 77-85 and actually longer than the average life expectancy. Also I've found a lot of conflicting posts. A lot of his posts and videos says he's a human physical or a medical physical but on his website it says that he never claims to have been or is an MD. Also his book says he's done over 3000 human autopsies but he's a vet and they are not trained or allowed to perform human autopsies. If I'm not mistaken in the medical field expect for coroners, aren't only MDs allowed to perform autopsies?
Apparently he's being investigated by the national council against health Freud because he told a heart patient ( I believe ) to not go to the doctor and just take some herbal stuff and vitamins even though if you research it it says that you can use that with treatment but it should NEVER be used as sole treatment and they died.
Idk guys maybe it's just me but everytime I read something about this guy everything seems very contradictory

I just don't understand how he has such a blind less following. Like some people basically worship him but he's not a doctor well a medical/ human one at least and maybe it's just me just I wouldn't take medical advice from a vet

Because people listen when someone is confirming what they already believe.

That national council against health Freud has such an excessively big ego, always thinking it's the authority. Id even argue that the council has a bad case of penis envy towards Dr. Wallach.

Perhaps the paragon of parapraxis?

So, one second fact checking. Try to guess his political affiliation 🙄

Welcome to our modern day society where someone says they're an expert and half the population gets in a frenzy and believes it...

It's supposively because he told a patient to not get medical treatment for a heart problem I believe and he told them that they would be fine just taking some vitamins so the patient died due to improper care so a relative of Dr. Wallach called to report it

Well he publicly supported Ron and Rand Paul so his actions are different than his words.
