Angelique Hart is an Albuquerque-based MD who has, as so many others, been lured by the lucrative scam of integrative medicine and joined the dark side of altmed grifting. Her website tells us that she “works with each patient to get to the root cause of the problem” (insinuating that conventional medicine generally doesn’t), and it has a prominently placed store section where you can purchase useless but expensive supplements – which should at least deter those aware of the first rule of online medical advice (don’t take it from anyone with a store section on their website) but unfortunately not deter a rather significant target base of potential customers.
Hart offers “regenerative & holistic services”, including useless vampire facials and IV nutrient therapies that purportedly help you “[r]ejuvenate, [d]etoxify, and [h]eal from [w]ithin” and which are highly popular among quacks – and yes, she’ll offer the whole range of IV quackery, from Myers’ cocktail and high-dose Vitamin C, to alpha lipoic acid, glutathione therapy, and detox & chelation therapy. Indeed, Hart’s offerings and recommendations encompass an impressive range of questionable methods and quackery, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Diagnosis: It’s not like there isn’t a massive number of these, and covering even a sample of them would be a Herculean (and repetitive) task. Hart, anyways, seems to be a relatively prominent representative of these slick marketers of nonsense and bullshit.
