Re: Warren; Complaint No. 029-2026
Dear Executive Director Kidd:
This office has received your request for a written Attorney General Opinion regarding action that the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners (“Board”) intends to take in the above-referenced case. James Warren, D.C. (“Respondent”) holds Chiropractic License No. 3444.
The Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act (“Act”) authorizes the Board to impose discipline on a chiropractic physician when the Board finds “by clear and convincing evidence” that the chiropractic physician has violated the Act or rules of the Board. 59 O.S.2021, § 161.12(A). Such discipline may include suspension of a license. Id § 161.12(A)(2). The Board may summarily suspend a license if, “upon review of the report of the Advisory Committee, [the Board] finds that the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action[.]” OAC 140-3-3-6; 75 O.S.2021, § 314.1.
Complaint No. 029-2026 was filed by a daughter on behalf of her elderly mother (the “Patient”) and patient of this Chiropractor. The Complaint alleges that the Patient began communicating with Respondent about curing her stage 4 terminal cancer with UV light. The treatment involves removing the patient’s blood, treating it with UV light, and reinjecting that blood. Respondent claimed that he couldn’t advertise that because “the FDA won’t approve effective cancer treatments.” Respondent convinced the Patient to stay in a guest room he built for said “procedure.” He also convinced her to pay him over $13,000.00 and to cash out her life insurance for this treatment. Patient had also gotten an MRI the day before she started treatment, and new cancer growth was found in the Patient’s brain. The hospital recommended immediate care. Patient delayed the hospital’s care to undergo treatment with Respondent. Within 72 hours of leaving Respondent’s home, Patient was in the ER having her lung drained. It is believed that Respondent is exploiting dying cancer patients for all their money. These actions are alleged to violate 59 O.S.2021, § 161.12(B)(7); OAC 140:15-7-5(6) and (8).
After reviewing the Advisory Committee report on October 2, 2026, at a special meeting, the Board proposes to summarily suspend Respondent’s license and orders that Respondent refrain from the practice of Chiropractic pending the conclusion of a full hearing before the Board on this matter.
It is, therefore, the official opinion of the Attorney General that the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners has adequate support for the conclusion that this action advances the State of Oklahoma’s policy to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
