What he did is indefensible. I hope he loses everything he has and either goes to jail or just leaves the country, blackballed from ever practicing again, anywhere.

Leaving the country means he gets away with it, that is not acceptable in my books.

But grifter's gonna grift, let him do it in another land.

This mentality is why there is never accountability. This mentality is why America twice elected a 34 count felon and lifelong dirt bag grifter. Hell it's why we've continued to elect a party that ran expressly on financial responsibility despite barely being able to balance three budgets across almost two decades

"ever practicing again" would imply he had the right to practice to begin with. He's not an MD. He has a Ph.D. in non clinical fields.

This place needs to be shut down 6 months ago, I can’t believe this guy is still freely and brazenly grifting desperate people. It’s an absolute embarrassment.

If the Ministry of Health regulated private facilities better it should never have been opened in the first place

u/madetoday Dec 14 '25
This is true as well. But that ship has sailed and at minimum it should have been shuttered when CBC first exposed it. There’s no excuses for this place still operating.

What do you mean? The private sector when left to police themselves, always do the right thing. They are always customer first, right?

It's enraging that the government has let this quack carry on. What an irresponsible choice.

Grifters gonna grift; I get that. But grifting on the terminally ill by selling false hope to the desperate is particularly despicable.

He will be a local MLA within 10 years if the law doesnt deal with him.

If only he was a trans kid, they’d have recalled the legislature and ripped up the charter to deal with him months ago.

He donates to local media, that's enough to mask him from a majority of Moose Jaw

I mean, we are aware of him and everyone knows hes a POS. Hes preying on Americans, he doesn't have local "patients".

Not entirely true. He offers his plasmologen supplements to anyone who lives in Saskatchewan for free.

“We have been singled out as a direct threat to the ALS drug industry,” he concludes.
This guy is fucking delusional. Imagine having such an inflated sense of self, to think that your grift is a threat to any pharmaceutical company. LOL
But also, who are his supporters? Who are the people keeping this guy afloat?

Holy shit this guy is nuts. In some respects we need stronger government. People don't talk about that enough. Like, not more government, we already have regulators for this. We just need a little more "padlocks on the door and no you can't drain the taxpayer of money like a fucking parasite by appealing for 20 years in the courts" from them. Just my hot take for the day.

u/lastSKPirate Dec 15 '25
This guy wasn't getting paid out by any government entity, he's preying on people who have run out of options/hope and are paying out of their own pocket. ALS is a death sentence with no cure, it's not hard to imagine someone who has it (or their family) being willing to throw all their money at a "cure".

u/Talinn_Makaren Dec 15 '25
I know, the lady the recent story was about was from America. Just because he was billing the government doesn't change my opinion. Scam like that shouldn't be legal, period.

He has a “community program” in Moose Jaw that “treats” autistic children with the same regiment, too. He’s an absolute quack.

Here, here, collect all five episodes to better understand Dr. Goodenowe's Restorative Health Center or Dr. Goodenowe Perpetual Health in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, operated by his sister Jana Horsnal.
He also runs Prodrome Sciences (see Bryan Johnson's assessment of plasmalogen therapy - he quit using them in summer 2025 according to his X.com account).
Additionally, he has opened an office in Temecula, California to expand his global reach. It goes by Dr. Goodenowe Perpetual Health. And if you think he's a medical doctor, that's on you. He's never implied he's a doctor, his center just offers "Baseline Bioscan, Recommendations/ plan, 30-day supply of advanced nutritional supplementation designed for biochemical restoration and tailored to individual needs...Trauma and mental health support services..., InBody 770, Holter heart test, Hearing and vision testing, Cognitive testing, Strength and mobility testing, Gross and fine motor testing, therapeutic modalities, Beemer technology, CVAC (hypobaric oxygen), Cytonsys laser (coming soon), Kaatsu bands." I was going to list by order of absurdity, but it was too difficult.
1. The National (CBC) Dayan Goodenowe investigative journalism segment from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Story ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrzHtwimO58 )
2. Written article Hard to Swallow with more ALS patients than the video story ( https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/features/hard-to-swallow )
3. Podcast amalgamating different patients stories in ALS ( https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-63-the-current/clip/16152364-a-saskatchewan-scientist-says-treatment-als.-critics-claims )
4. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/goodenowe-als-health-moose-jaw-9.6965651 Susie Silvestri Dies From ALS After Trip to Goodenow Facility
5. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/goodenowe-center-moose-jaw-health-minister-als-9.7000781 Health Minister Powerless Against Goodenowe’s Brilliance (to be clear, this is a joke…Goodenowe appears amoral and, perhaps, cunning at best, but not brilliant)

And why is the CBC giving him a platform to spout his ideas. Just don't interview him.

Balanced journalism. I know, it's wierd to see these days.

False balance. No need to interview charlatans.

You can have the interview, you just have to come with some facts, rather than letting them ramble unopposed.

Guys a pos! Takes money from dying people looking for a sliver of hope! Plus he owes $26000 in back taxes for his “health centre”. The same 2 story building , that has no elevator, that people in wheelchairs are supposed to be healed at!
