Tai Cheng infomercial, 2013: Cheez Whiz or what?

Recommended Posts

I've seen the infomercial and it literally broke my heart. How could anyone promote this thing...

 

As an aside, I'm a licensed acupuncturist, and currently enrolled in a doctoral program. When I see another acupuncturist calling themselves "Dr." I'm usually curious, and look for their credentials, especially when they use the title of PhD. In most cases when someone has done the work they usually include education in their bio. Cheng does not...

 

The Chinese medicine doctoral programs in the U.S. use the term DAOM. To my knowledge there are only a few schools with accredited PhD programs in Chinese medicine and most are in conjunction with universities in China. With these PhD programs, they are actually post doctoral degrees, meaning you need a Masters, and DAOM before pursuing the PhD. 

 

Only after checking Linkedin did I see Dr. Cheng's education, he received his PhD from a degree mill with dubious accreditation.
