Direct answer
William Cole is licensed in Pennsylvania as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Pennsylvania's chiropractic scope statute (Act 188 of 1986) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Chronic Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity, Autoimmune Diseases, Diabetes, and Infertility, conditions that belong with infectious-disease physicians, rheumatologists, and allergy and immunology specialists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that William Cole profits from.
