Dr. Korn has written articles for the magazine ExtraOrdinary Technology. One article appears in the Oct/Nov/Dec 2005 issue, described in the table of contents as:
The Fourth Horseman Has Arrived… Devastating modern diseases appear to be fulfilling Biblical prophecy!
Lyme Disease… A Last Day Plague–– It’s Here NOW!!
Lyme disease is a debilitating disease that masquerades as a variety of diseases. Ones only hope in overcoming its effects is recognizing the warning signs, and taking the appropriate blood tests.
For ExtraOrdinary Technology’s 2006 conference, Dr. Korn gave a presentation entitled Identifying and Treating End Time Diseases. From the conference abstract:
How did Lyme Disease get to be such a pain? Where did it come from? What causes it? These have not been as easy to answer as one might think, even given modern epidemiologic detective work.
Truly the disease could not be any “better” of a disease, were it designed by the devil himself.
In fact, most Christians and escatologists– those Bible scholars who specialize in prophecy– and the speaker, strongly hold that we are living in the “End Days.”
If that is, in fact, true, one could expect to see signs of this around us: plagues and natural disasters would abound. Indeed, are they not?
Below is Dr. Korn speaking on Lyme Disease. The video is taken from the BeHealthyAmerica website, with the 20 minutes or so of dead space edited out.
Dr. Korn has two complaints on record filed with the Arizona State Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners. Both complaints were dismissed without discipline.

R.W. vs. David Korn, DO, MD(H)
-
Note: Dr. Schwengel rejoined the Board to serve as the chairman during the consideration of this agenda item.
Dr. Korn and his attorney, Stephen Myers, were present during the discussion. The Board invited Mr. Myers to make a statement. Mr. Myers urged the board to request primary jurisdiction from the Osteopathic Medical Board. He stated that the record would show that R.W. had specifically come to Dr. Korn for IV peroxide therapy treatments and that the provision of this type of therapy was directly related to the practice of homeopathic medicine.
Dr. Korn also made a statement indicating that he concurred with Mr. Myers statements and that the therapy provided to R.W. was specifically related to the practice of homeopathic medicine.
Dr. Gordon made a motion directing that the board should request primary jurisdiction from the Osteopathic Board. His motion was seconded by Dr. Rowe and passed unanimously.
Vote: 5-0 -
Note: The order of the agenda was changed to accommodate this discussion that took place before the Board adjourned for lunch at 12:45 p.m.
Dr. Schwengel explained that the complaint had originally been filed at the Board of Osteopathic Physicians by physician, W.N., who had been concerned by the type of therapy provided to the patient. The Homeopathic Board requested and received primary jurisdiction in the complaint based on the type of care provided to patient, R.W.; in this case, peroxide therapy.
Dr. Korn summarized his treatment methods and explained that peroxide therapy is intended to provide three benefits to patients:
- enhance the amount of oxygen in the lungs
- thin mucous membranes, and
- kill anaerobic virus’ in the lungs.
At the onset of therapy Dr. Korn referred R.W. for a chest x-ray to ascertain her health status for peroxide therapy. He stated that at the third visit he had refused to administer peroxide therapy and appropriately referred her to the emergency room and urged her to return to her primary care physician in Safford. Dr. Rowe asked how Dr. Korn knew the patient should not continue therapy. Dr. Korn replied that he had performed a urine test. Dr. Grout asked if Lasix had been prescribed to R.W. and Dr. Korn confirmed that it had.
Dr. Gordon noted that based on the information reviewed and Dr. Korn’s description of the care provided to the patient, the therapy was the proper treatment of choice and that Dr. Korn’s care was appropriate. Drs. Grout and Rowe concurred.
Mr. Farris made a motion to dismiss the complaint. Dr. Gordon seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
Vote: 6 – 0; Schwengel, Rowe, Grout, Gordon, Stika, Farris
