Dr. Rashid Buttar's Bio

(This is Patrick Sullivan Jr. posting.)

I just came across this bio for Dr. Buttar.  Why do his detractors so swiftly and easily apply the "snake-oil salesman" to him?  It just doesn't equate for me.  Unless this bio is totally fabricated.  And in that case, it's very well done!

Rashid Buttar, D.O.
Visiting Scientist, North Carolina State University, Dr. Buttar received his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis with a double major in Biology and Theology and then attended medical school at the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa. He trained in General Surgery and Emergency Medicine and then served as Brigade Surgeon for the 2nd Infantry Division, Republic of South Korea and later, as the Chief, Department of Emergency Medicine at Moncrief Army Community Hospital at Ft. Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina while serving in the US Army.

Dr. Buttar is board certified in Preventive Medicine and Chelation Therapy, is board eligible in Emergency Medicine and has achieved Fellowship status in three separate medical organizations (Fellow of the American College for Advancement in Medicine, Fellow of the American Academy of Preventive Medicine, and Fellow of the American Academy of Integrative Medicine).

Dr. Buttar practices in Charlotte, NC, where he is the medical director of Advanced Concepts in Medicine, a clinic specializing in treating cancer, heart disease, and other chronic conditions in patients refractory to conventional treatments. He also serves as Director of Clinical Research and Development for V-SAB Medical Laboratories, where he is extensively involved in research with polypeptide sequencing and identification technologies as well as innovative methodologies for drug-delivery mechanisms. Dr. Buttar has lectured worldwide on these subjects at medical congresses, symposia, and to lay audiences. He also continues to teach actively as faculty for mainstream medical courses, such as Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) courses for physicians through the American College of Surgeons as well as teaching Pediatric Advanced Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support courses to other physicians, nurses, and emergency response personnel.

Dr. Buttar is not board certified.

He has a sort of fake board certification with a non-recognized certifying agency the american board medical specialties says he has not board certifications. this is part of teh reason that those who say buttar is a snakeoil salesman say that buttar is a snakeoil salesman. he prevaricates about his qualifications basically it's how do you say >>>> ugly. he went from doing emergency surgery to some kind of cosmetic thing where he was injecting people with stuff to get rid of their cellulite, then he went to alt med cures for old age. surely you know about transdtropin? then he went to cancer. he cures that with coffee enemas and ozone and lot s of vitamins and chelation. i think that's the order it all happened in. then he discovered the joys of curing autism with stuff that cant cure autism. it's been a rich life. somewhere in there his wife left him or he left his wife. maybe you could ask buttar about what order those things happened.

Portia Penser, I'll ignore the rudeness of your comments and just ask that you provide sources for your claims. Thanks.

you have to sign in, but it's free. that's how people check on whether or not a doctor has a board certification. my daughter's doctor is a board certified family practice doctor, for instance. I found out by looking on that website.
the rest of the stuff about buttar's history, how he did mesotherapy and all, that's on the internet. Or you can ask him, he is your friend after all. there's a cool quote from him where he says it's really unhealthy to eat pork because it's too much like human tissue or something. just google "rashid buttar", or like I said, ask him. then check what he says with what you can find on the internet Did his wife not leave him. I thought he mentioned an ex-wife somewhere, maybe it was on the television news investigative report out of north carolina.

Could Portia Penser be another Tiara wearing Diva? They sound exactly alike! I wonder why that is? ... Hmmm?

Wow that was a pretty harsh paragraph about Dr. Buttar. He is following the same protocol that hundreds of other doctors are doing to help children with Autism. Many times children are diagnosed with Autism b/c of the symptoms. Once heavy metals are taken they are rediagnosed as mercury ( or other metals) toxic. Autism and Mercury poisoning have the exact same symptoms so it makes sense that chelation can help a child diagnosed with autism. The DAN! procotol is helping my son so much and once we start chelation I'm positive that he will be like all the other children who had great results.

Now a new update to Buttar's bio from:
http://www.charlotte.com/breaking_news/story/595637.html

"A panel of the N.C. Medical Board recommended Thursday that Huntersville's Dr. Rashid Buttar be prohibited from treating children or patients with cancer because his alternative medicine practice is below accepted medical standards in North Carolina."
