Hippocrates Health Institute focuses on alternative therapies and plant-based nutrition, to promote health and well-being through holistic approaches. The institute offers wellness programs centered on raw vegan diets, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle education.[2][3]
In 2015, the Florida Department of Health issued cease-and-desist orders against the institute co-directors for allegedly practicing medicine without a license.[4][5] The Florida Department of Health later formally informed Hippocrates Health Institute that it has subsequently withdrawn and dismissed the cease-and-desist orders due to lack of sufficient evidence.[6][7][8]
HHI is regarded as controversial for supposedly treating serious illnesses with unproven natural methods that lack scientific validation.[9][10] Additionally, former staff members have filed lawsuits against the institute, alleging wrongful termination after raising concerns about ethical issues in patient care.[11][12]
