Guy suing a "naturopath" shoots and kills the quack.. [View all]

I guess this is how a guy decided to deal with a quack.

Unlicensed Kentucky naturopath allegedly murdered by victim’s husband

Juan Sanchez Gonzales, who operated the Natural Health Center for Integrative Medicine in Bowling Green, Kentucky was found shot to death at his clinic on March 3. The accused shooter, Omer Ahmetovic, had an active lawsuit alleging that Gonzalez had guaranteed he could cure Ahmetovic's wife (Fikreta Ibrisevic) of cancer. Press reports indicate that Ibrisevic was not helped by Gonzalez's treatment, got rapidly worse, and died on February 27. [Highland D. Man accused of killing doctor had sued him over cancer treatments. Bowling Green Daily News, March 10, 2017] Gonzalez's Web site describes him as a naturopathic doctor, iridologist, and master herbalist who is working towards a Ph.D. in integrative medicine. The documents posted on the site include "nutritional counseling," "doctor of naturopathy" and "master herbalist" diplomas from from the Trinity School of Natural Health (a nonaccredited correspondence school); "certification" from the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board (which is not a recognized certification board); and a "ministerial license" issued to "Juan Gonzalez, Psc.D." by the Pastoral Medical Association (which has no legal standing to issue licenses). The lawsuit, filed by the couple in January, accuses Gonzalez and his clinic of negligence, lack of informed consent, practicing medicine without a license, and fraud related to his credentials.
