malachi i do currently hold a phd, in what i don't feel comfortable in disclosing because that is not the issue here. the issue that i face now is accusations. grfx1 the 18 year old indeed facing serious accusations - from police. 7 - including "grand theft," and "fraud" for allegedly practicing medicine without a license. last month, he proudly showed off his medical center to our abc affiliate wbpf nats this is the new birth and life medical center. peel back the tape - and the sign on the door has his name and these two crucial letters ? md malachi that sign on the door was due to be changed. there are many types of degrees out there that hold the title as doctor whether they are a physicist or an engineer just because someone has the title doctor in front of their name does not necessarily imply md. gutman have you had training?

shadowed many doctors gutman you're saying your training comprises shadowing other doctors real doctors. that's your training in medicine? malachi training comprises of a lot of things? gutman but you weren't in med school. malachi exactly. so i'm not portraying as an md. i've never said i've gone to school to be an md. grfx2 but the teen who goes by "dr love" does advertise an array of treatments on his medical center website - including, phototherapy, food and? air therapy? and naturopathy - a specialty illegal to practice in florida. malachi i have been studying this particular field for a while um - may not have been 8 years, 9 years, 10 years but it has been long enough to i would say justify what i do. police allege he even treated the elderly - among them an 86 year old woman who they say treated her recently for severe stomach pain? paying him nearly $3500 dollars? matt: what services did you provide in exchange for that money? malachi: i can tell you this. accusations are merely accusations and services you have to define that. whether she paid for me to just show up is up to her. matt: youre not denying the fact that she paid you 3500 or so. correct? malachi: no i am denying that

seems like everything youre saying to me is either evasive or an outright lie. malachi: i don't appreciate your tone. i don't appreciate the way youre portraying this interview to actually be. and then a moment we didn't expect? gutman are you in big trouble? i mean it seems like you've spoken to a lawyer who's prepared you for not only talking to the media but the police as well. malachi: i don't' know where you received this information from but it is inaccurate. i'm sorry i'm going to have to cut this interview short. i'm going to have to cut this intv short. do you own a toyota rav-4? if you do, you'll want to stick around. why they're being recalled. and ford claims its new fusion can skip over
