It will indeed be interesting to see if a response is forthcoming from Dr van der Merwe.

See:
http://www.myway2wellness.com/w2w/w2w_Content/freeContent/w2w_team.asp

and scroll down to “Dr Arien”.

She says about herself:

Hi, my name is Dr Arien,

I am 50 years young and on myway2wellness® to becoming 120 years old! I’ve been divorced for two years, and am in a long-term soul mate relationship. I have three kids (son, Léan 20, and daughters Anri 17, Stephni 14).

I’m passionate about living, teaching, and facilitating people’s journies (sic) to optimal health and wellness. w2w is an ideal way for people to become more knowledgeable about their own bodies, minds, emotions, and souls, and the integrative effect all of these have on being a healthy (whole) human being. Through obtaining and implementing knowledge, we can all learn to create our ideal lives, changing even the genetic blueprint of our DNA to one of health and happiness. Webucation is the way!

——————–

The website also has a “humanitarian efforts” page which indicates:

Our purpose

way2wellness® was designed and developed with two purposes in mind:

• To provide information, education and knowledge to all
people in the world so that they may be well and happy.

• To provide free wellness and preventative care tools and
mechanisms to needy and poor people who cannot afford
to obtain information like this any other way.

Does the first purpose not sound somewhat similar to an Obi’istic grandiosity?

LCN: It’ll be interesting to hear what she has to say. Dr Saxena’s website quacks very loudly..

Afterforty: Thanks for the info; hardly an impressive tally but I do value accuracy. I've editied my piece. I must say, I've never seen the word 'ethical' used so much until this story broke. To quote The Bard:

Prof Obi is not the only ethical individual to have been awarded an FRCAM. On Prof. Obi's Royal College site (www.clinicalschool.org) there is a list of its Principal Officers. They too have the FRCAM designation. Two of these individuals even recognise the award on their own sites: Academic Dean: Dr Arien Van Der Merwe MB CHB FRCAM(Dublin)FRIPH(UK MISMA(UK) and Regional Dean (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh): Dr P K Saxena MBBS DMRD FACAM(USA) FRCAM(Dublin)

I think it’s Lexcity.
Anyway, I wouldn’t entirely blame Ms Sussenbach for being taken in by the scumbag. Apparently he’s made a career out of duping whoever comes into contact with him.
I don’t have the time (12 hours at school today) but I do think someone who has the time might be kind enough enlighten this newly qualified legal eagle. It might save her from future embarrassment.
