Doctor who claimed Covid vaccines were ‘irrelevant’ and sold ‘potentially harmful’ substances she recommended to treat virus during lockdown banned from practicing for nine months
- Dr. Sarah Myhill suspended for 9 months for ‘undermining public health’
- During the pandemic, Dr. Myhill told Covid patients to take high doses of vitamins
- She also recommended some substances that can cause “serious harm.”
A doctor who advised Covid patients to take high doses of vitamins and substances that can cause ‘serious harm’ has been banned from exercising for nine months.
Private doctor Dr. Sarah Myhill, 64, of Knighton, Powys, posted videos and articles online advising Covid patients to take vitamins and other substances in high doses during the pandemic.
In addition, Dr Myhill was selling substances she recommended on her website that the tribunal found could cause ‘serious harm’ and ‘potentially lethal toxicity’.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled that these recommendations “undermined public health” because there was no evidence that they worked.
The tribunal found Dr Sarah Myhill spread misleading advice during the Covid pandemic
In videos posted between March and May 2020, Dr Mykhill, discrediting the use of face masks, described her means as ‘safe nutritional interventions’ that rendered ‘vaccinations irrelevant’.
However, the tribunal ruled that they were in fact not completely safe and could pose dramatic unseen health risks.
They also found that there was no evidence that the advice would be effective.
In its ruling, the tribunal ruled that Dr Myhill “does not practice evidence-based medicine and may encourage false reassurance in her patients who may believe they will not contract Covid-19 or other infections if they follow her advice.”
Dr. Myhill had previously faced an investigation by the General Medical Council (GMC) into her claims of being a “pioneer” in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.

The tribunal also found that Dr Myhill had endangered a patient with a possible broken hip by failing to ensure they were taken to hospital and that her fitness to practice had also been affected as a result.
It was told at the hearing that there had been 30 previous GMC investigations into Dr Myhill, but none had resulted in findings of wrongdoing.
The tribunal concluded: ‘Given the circumstances of this case, it is necessary to protect members of the public and in the public interest to issue an order for the suspension of Dr. profession.’
Dr. Myhill was not present at the hearing in Manchester.
