Don Colbert
Don Colbert is an American evangelical Christian family physician, nutritionist and writer.[1][2]. Born in 1956 in Mississippi,[1] he received a medical degree from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa.[1][3]
Colbert claims to be a specialist in anti-aging medicine,[4] which is a field of medicine not recognized by either The American Medical Association or The American Board of Medical Specialties.[5][6] He is religiously devout in his medical practice, and specializes in diets based on the Bible.[2][7][2] Colbert has been a guest on religious and other television programs.[1] He is a three-time New York Times Best Selling Author.[8][9][10]
Criticism[edit]
William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University, has criticized Colbert for voicing his view of an alleged link between childhood vaccinations and autism which was broadcast on the TV network of American televangelist Kenneth Copeland. Schaffner commented that “Colbert and the Copeland family are wrong about immunizations,” and consequently “They are putting people at risk.”[11]
As reported by former CNN medical correspondent Andrew Holtz, Colbert offered to pay bloggers to write about his website as part of a pay-for-links scheme to help drive traffic to his site.[12]
In May 2020, the Federal Trade Commission determined Colbert was unlawfully advertising products to prevent COVID-19 and advised him to immediately cease such claims.[13][14]
Personal life[edit]
Colbert lives in Orlando with his wife Mary.[3] His wife is co-author of the book The Trump Prophecy, on which the film of the same name is based.[15][16][17]
