By the way Davidson leaves an interesting point out of his glowing endorsement of Endovasc. Although Davidson proudly refers to him as "Dr. Summers" in his newsletters, Davidson doesn't tell his subscribers that the Endovasc chief officer got his doctorate degree on the Internet from Kennedy-Western University, a non-accredited university licensed to operate in the state of Wyoming.

Summers said Kennedy-Western was accredited in the state of Idaho when he got his degree in 1982. "It wasn't Harvard or Princeton but I learned a lot. I never made any representation other than I got a Ph.d. from Kennedy-Western," the chief officer said.
