A DOCTOR who recommended vitamins to cure Covid has been banned.
A tribunal heard Dr Sarah Myhill, 64, posted videos and articles at the start of the pandemic advocating taking them and other substances in high doses.
Dr Sarah Myhill has been banned after she offered vitamins at the start of the pandemic she claimed made vaccines irrelevantWales News Service
The private GP described them as “safe nutritional interventions” which she said meant vaccinations were rendered irrelevant.
But the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service found her claims undermined public health, with no proof they worked.
The hearing was also told she had been selling the substances she recommended on her website and some could have caused serious harm and potentially fatal toxicity.
Dr Myhill, of Knighton, Powys, also discredited using face masks.
The tribunal found she did not practice evidence-based medicine and that could “encourage false reassurance in her patients”.
It also found Dr Myhill put a patient with a potentially- fractured hip at risk by failing to ensure they went to hospital.
She faced 30 previous General Medical Council investigations but none resulted in misconduct findings.
The tribunal banned Dr Myhill, who did not attend the hearing, for nine months.
The panel concluded: “It is necessary to protect members of the public and in the public interest to make an order suspending Dr Myhill’s registration with immediate effect, to maintain public confidence in the profession.”
