Research about Dr Rami Cohen MD FCOG (Wits)

[Roger]

Sorry about the X posting.

I am trying to establish this doctor's qualifications and have hit a
brickwall, he offers weight loss progarmmes under various franchises "Dr
Cohen's Lifestyle Clinics" and "First Personal Diet".

I can only ever find his qualifications on his websites - there is nothing
else about him that I can find on the Internet.

His medical college (FCOG) in S. Africa cant (maybe wont) confirm his
membership.

The abbreviation used for the university - Wits - is not the usual
abbreviation used for Witwatersrand - usually it's Witw. There is no record
of him (on the Witwatersrand Uni website) as an alumni or record of him
having obtained a degree going back to the 1950s.

He is not registered as an MD (that I can find on public databases in
Australia, South Africa or Minnesota (his claimed State of residence from
his websites) USA.

Any factual help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I too was trying to find out more about Dr R Cohen and his qualifications
which appear on his websites but know where else it seems.
Then I found a
Brian Michael Cohen MD -USA see website OBGYN Women's Health: Obstetrics, Gynecology, Menopause, Osteoporosis, Endometriosis, Mesothelioma, Hysterectomy: Health Forums He has pages of qualifications and accolades.
And Guess what ? He was an honorary professor 1985 Dept of Obstetricians and Gyneacology Witwatersrand, Johannesburg ,SA. ( Wits) He wrote an acclaimed paper on his research into fallopian tubes and reproduction in pigs and similarity to humans.
Were there two Dr Cohen MD's at Wits researching human invitero ?? Amazing coincidence ? Draw your own conclusions!!!

Does anyone here know of Dr. Howard Flaks in Beverly Hills? Also from SOuth Africa and diet plan is startlingly similar to that of Rami Cohen. Just wondering.
