Dave,
Hi.
The practitioner has not been convicted of anything.
As for dumb? People who grasp at straws (as the woman in question may have been doing) are not necessarily dumb - just desparate.
If the woman died from breast cancer 6 mos after diagnosis and starting with the alternative practitioner one might imagine the cancer was already in advanced stages. Besides, she refused the chemo, etc.
That he may have been 'practicing' without a license in Utah is, perhaps, a rather separate issue to the patient's choice to forego standard allopathic treatment. If he advertised a "cure" for cancer this is also a somewhat different matter than her choice to go to him but would fdactor in more closely I suppose.
I would also offer, somewhat sadly, that patients can make dumb decisions out of desparation.
But, having this story to follow may be interesting if "all" the facts are brought to light. If he is convicted of anything it will be interesting and perhaps educational to hear of what and also how the appeals go.
lol

Cheers,
