the age of 33 he developed a serious viral heart condition, which was
considered terminal by conventional medicine. He explored alternative medicine,
and found that Yoga and breathing exercises such as the “Breath of Fire”
improved his condition. He returned to medicine in
In 1997, as
he was preparing to go national with his new and very successful integrated health
care system, he and key members of his staff were “busted” by the FBI. A four
year legal battle with the Department of Justice ensued.
Despite
this setback, he produced and hosted "The Medicine Man" Radio Show, aired
on ABC's KOMO 1000 weekly for over a year beginning in 1998. Over 30
institutions and pharmaceutical companies provided support for the show with
educational grants. His guests included dozens of physicians, as well as
State Insurance Commissioner Debra Senn, and Governor
Christine Gregoir .[1]
Ultimately
however, the Establishment won out. The FBI had conducted hours of covert
wiretaps of employee conversations and phone calls, had undercover FBI agents
posing as patients, and took sixty clinic employees before a grand jury.
Based on a finding of facts by the Washington State Medical Quality Assurance Commission, Dr. Ordoubadi pled guilty in federal court two counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and health care fraud. The found facts were drawn from three patient cases: One patient was prescribed excessive amounts of pain medication for an extended period of time; two patients were treated by a chiropractor or other specialist, yet the insurance carriers were billed by Dr. Ordoubadi.

The lawsuit
left Dr. Ordoubadi exhausted
and bankrupt. He settled in a plea bargain for which he
was fined $400,000 and sentenced to 35 months in prison beginning
February 2001. All of his clinics were closed and thousands of patients were
left without health care or insurance.
Dr.
Ordoubadi felt his time in prison was inspirational and productive. He
believes many of the 2.5 million people serving federal jail sentences in the
Since his
release from prison, Dr. Nasser Ordoubadi has perhaps understandably resurfaced
with a new name; Dr. Noah McKay, and has established himself as a
motivational speaker as well as an MD.
Dr. McKay Finally
included quantum theory in his wellness formula, citing a number of quantum
physicists, including David Bohm and John Bell, famous for his 1964 theory of
non-locality.
Dr. McKay
sees in non-locality the possibility of all of the trillions of cells of the
human body working together to heal. His four LLAWs of healing are Love, Light
from our DNA (biophotons) as well as the sun, Air and the subtle energies of
Chi and Prana, and Water, meaning to avoid dehydration.

With the
support and collaboration of the Philippines Department of Tourism and the
Department of Health, McKay's contribution to wellness tourism will be "Q
Health" retreats, scheduled to begin in January 2009, at Tagaytay Highlands. [5]
Dr. McKay
sees the 'Q Health Retreat as the future of health care, which will offer
the latest technologies in healthcare in a package of services which embody the
mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of each human being. [6]
He has published
his insights in a book, Wellness at Warp
Speed, published in 2007.
