Televangelist ordered by New York attorney general to stop promoting ‘cure’ for coronavirus

Johnboy60 · Mar 9, 2020

A Christian televangelist has been ordered by New York's attorney general to stop promoting a "cure" for the coronavirus to the public.

The cease-and-desist letter was sent to the Jim Bakker Show after it had naturopathic doctor Sherrill Sellman as a guest on 12 February.

There goes freedom of the religion once again.....

They could make him counteroffer that he could continue his practice if he agreed to be infected and then he could demonstrate how well his cure worked on himself.

That would make too much sense, and give him an opportunity to prove that this virus is not as bad as they are making it out to be. They need people in some sort of panic once every election cycle.

Better idea let those taken in by these charlatans, sue and claim their medical expenses from the show and the presenter.

Jim Bakker: Suckering the naive and gullible for 41 years (taking into account jail time).

Glad the huckstering was ordered to stop. That's so shameful he did that.

I wonder what the jurisdictional legalities are of a NY AG telling a guy based somewhere down South what not to do.

In Arabia Dr. Sellman would be charged with sorcery.. They will NOT tolerate some crackpot steering people away from modern medicine.

If it affects the state of NY, she can.....he can either stop broadcasting in NY, or stop with the bullcrap he's promoting altogether.

So then I suppose cable carriers in NY could be forced to drop him.

Sherrill Sellman (the "doctor" on Bakker's show) received her Doctor of Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Healing.

Speaker 2006 - SHERRILL SELLMAN, N.D.

Here's a little bit about this school:
Trinity School of Natural Health | School Overview

From this site:

Trinity is not accredited by any agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and it does not intend to seek such accreditation.

Trinity College offers six self-paced programs of study: Associate Degree in Biblical Studies (ABS), Certified Health Specialist (CHS), Certificate in Nutritional Counseling (CNC), Master Herbalist (MH), Master Iridologist (MI), and Doctor of Naturopathy (ND).

Since Trinity School is not an approved naturopathic medical education program, graduates from its ND program do not meet the requirements to take the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX), which are required by 16 states in order to practice naturopathic medicine.

She paid $3,195 to get her "doctorate", the course is self-study and distance learning. No classroom learning. This is what is known as a diploma mill.

She also says she is "Board Certified in Integrative Medicine". Here's a little tidbit about that:
State Medical Boards should not recognize board certification in “Integrative Medicine”

IMO, she's a fraud and snake oil salesman.
