Another "above board" doctor:
In 1976, Hotze graduated from the University of Texas Medical Branch with his Doctor of Medicine.[4] Hotze promoted a series of claims with no basis in science, including that taking birth control pills made women "less attractive to men" and that "when men lose their testicles to disease or injury, they have difficulty reading a map, performing math problems and making decisions."[1] In December 2020, Vice described Hotze's medical practice as "hawking 'alternative treatments' for postpartum depression, aging, thyroid problems, and even COVID-19".[4] Hotze has promoted various fringe and pseudoscientific medical claims, such as the existence of "yeast hypersensitivity syndrome", the use of colloidal silver as a cure for various diseases, and the use of non-standard drugs for hypothyroidism.[1] A seller of hormone therapy products,[5] Hotze gained wealth through a chain of "wellness centers" in Texas.[4] He asserted that his line of bioidentical hormones prevented cancer, a claim that lacks scientific support.
