Medical credential controversy involving Ioanna Gaka

Ioanna Gaka, a physician linked to the Giorgos Mazonakis case, has faced scrutiny regarding her medical credentials and the promotion of alternative therapies. Reports indicate that Gaka previously spoke at a state-sponsored health travel conference, where she promoted blood filtration technology as a method to cleanse the body of toxins. While she presented herself as highly educated, the Athens Medical Association noted she does not appear to hold specialized medical certification.

Subsequent allegations suggest Gaka practiced medicine without proper qualifications in Domokos. Witnesses and former patients claim she presented herself as a specialist in fields such as hematology and dietetics. Reported practices included using devices for blood analysis via finger pricks, recommending phlebotomy, and promoting “quantum medicine” for weight loss and detoxification. Patients also reported being subjected to scanning machines and receiving specific dietary prescriptions, such as avoiding certain meats or consuming specific vitamins, under the guise of improving health outcomes and IVF success rates.
