Fake Doctor in San Diego Guilty of 13 Felonies
A San Diego man pleads guilty Monday to thirteen felony charges for practicing medicine without a license during the time span of November 2001 to April 2009.
Kurt Walter Donsbach of Bonita pleads guilty to those felony charges in order to avoid prison. On his March 4th hearing, the San Diego criminal is expected to serve five years of probation and possibly local jail time in addition to probation. These charges included practicing medicine without a license, delivering and selling drugs that were misbranded with intent to mislead and defraud and lastly, the attempt of grand theft. According to court documents, these charges are related to three victims.
According to authorities, Donsbach was known as a chiropractor and a neuropathic doctor online as well as appeared on a radio show broadcasting on the internet. He stated to offer natural and nutritional remedy substitutes for various conditions such as cancer. Thomas Warwick, his attorney, claimed that his client was offering advice on alternative remedies, not practicing medicine.
A woman had developed osteoporosis over a six year time span due to a drug that Donsbach told her to take according to Gina Darvas, Deputy District Attorney. The prosecuting attorney described that Donsbach prescribed drugs that were not approved in the United States to his patients. The Rosarito beach clinic where Coretta Scott King died of cancer in January 2006 was founded by Donsbach. Mexican authorities closed the clinic a month later because of the unorthodox way they treated cancer as well as other health problems.
