Hey Bobert,

For $299, you too can get the PhD just like the one Gary Null bought.


Null says he holds an associate degree in business administration from Mountain State College in West Virginia, a bachelor's
degree from Thomas A. Edison State College in New Jersey, and a PhD in human nutrition and public health sciences from The
Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio. Edison State, a "nontraditional" school with neither campus nor courses, awards accredited
bachelor's degrees based on career experience, equivalency exams, and courses taken at other schools.

The Union Institute is also accredited, but its degree requirements and standards for health-related doctoral degrees differ
greatly from those of traditional universities. Students design their own program, form and chair their own doctoral committee,
and are required to attend only an introductory colloquium and a few interdisciplinary seminars. Null's PhD committee was
composed of a "core faculty member," three "adjunct professors," two "peers," and a "second core reader." The "core faculty
member" is a well-credentialed academician whose expertise (in geologic sciences) is unrelated to Null's topic. One of the three
"adjunct professors" was Martin Feldman, MD, a "complementary" physician (and "clinical ecologist") who has pinch-hit for
Null as a radio host and helped develop some of Null's books and supplement formulations. When I asked a school official
about the background or location of the other two "adjunct professors," he replied that information was in storage and was too
difficult to obtain.
