Ronald Downey Due Diligence Fraudulent and Criminal History Buffalo, Missouri

Note: This was written after Ronald Downey appeared as a speaker at a Peak Potentials event called Extreme Health in 2008. When it was revealed that Ronald Downey had a criminal history Peak Potentials founder Harv Eker was questioned. Harv Eker responded with a letter essentially saying that students should have done their due diligence.

For all of the customers of Ronald Allen Downey who did not have the time to do their due diligence in the 15 minutes following his presentation at Extreme Health (or ordered his product on the
endorsement from someone you thought had done their due diligence) I offer the following assistance to you.

As someone who lives near Ronald Downeys home town and has worked directly with him for several months, I have compiled information from my observations and others sources who felt compelled to do due diligence research based on professional and personal interactions with Mr. Downey.

Seeing as I have been threatened to be sued for defamation of character and asked to sign silencing agreements for sharing information you have just been encouraged to find out on your own, I advise you to review it and analyze it and compare it to your own experience and draw your own conclusions.

Some due diligence information:

Ronald claims to be taught by divine knowledge acquired in the Alaskan wilderness, but actually teaches N.O.T., Neural Organization Technique healing protocols, developed by Carl Fererri now deceased and listed on Quackwatch (((link redacted))). The use of this technique to diagnose or treat someone is limited to those trained in Applied Kinesiology and to those who are a licensed health care professional. While exposed to these fields, Ronald has no college degree or any license in any health care field/profession.

When asked about his training and background Ronalds answer is, "Would you ask Jesus for his credentials". Rather than obtaining official icenses to practice, Ronald advocates he is protected by "the right to practice one's religious beliefs". To protect himself, he is registered with Universal Life Church, an organization known for free online ordination.

Ronald Downey claims to have a Ph.D. and frequently refers to himself as a "Doctor." Ronald is listed as a "Dr." on his driver's license and other official documents. He has been known to tell police officers and other officials that he is a doctor.

In reality, Ronald's "Doctor of Divinity" is a $29 certificate that anyone can purchase online. It takes only minutes to order it and can be added to an online shopping cart. Ronald has convinced many students he is a doctor, however, Ronald Downey's highest accredited degree is a high school diploma.

Ronald told me the information he is teaching and refers to as "Spiritual Physics" is curriculum taught in the first two years at the School of Metaphysics, an unaccredited organization. There was split between Ronald and this school apparently because Ronald was known for using personal information gathered from class exercises and conversations as a means to controlling and manipulating students and clients.

It is my impression that Ronald is completely winging product. Even though he claims to have been doing this work for over 20 years, a month and half after Extreme Health Ronald still did not know what his "13 Steps to Enlightened Health" were. He made it up the day before filming.

Any client of his should consider their willingness to be treated by an unlicensed practitioner. I believe you are free to do so if you choose. There may be liability issues that Ronald has not disclosed or addressed, such as can a student practice or teach what they have learned from an unlicensed practitioner? Do I need to register as a church to protect myself?

Ronald has been involved in many lawsuits with his last business endeavor and has been arrested several times. The State of Alaska charged Ronald with Felony Scheme to Defraud. Ronald pled No Contest to Criminal Contempt. Ronald had at least one criminal case open in Missouri in 2008. Ronald was almost arrested again in June 2008 for a domestic dispute (Case #08-27583).

I should say, I am not a customers of T. Harv Eker and Peak Potentials. I was impressed with Harv Ekers finely tuned, well-organized event. I assumed he would want to know this information and
share it with the Peak Potentials members once he knew. Surely, he would feel healing and integrity must go together?

So, I and others shared it with Mr. Eker. But, rather than share it, Mr. Eker told you to do your own research while he took Ronald to a private function in Whisler, BC as his honored guest.

Do you think that Peak Potentials (who shares 50% of the profits generated by their presenters) should screen its presenters for criminal records and proper credentials before they are allowed
to present to students? An online petition was created to address this.

For those wishing to file a possible case of health fraud, I have included the following link:

I believe Peak Potentials students have not been given the full picture in regards to Ronald Allen Downey. I believe you have a right to know. Do what feels right for you.

Sincerely,
