==Controversy==
In 1995, Dardik's license to practice medicine was revoked after NY State Medical Board actions taken following a successful lawsuit by a former patient, Ellen Burstein MacFarlane. Dardik had claimed in a 9-page New York Magazine cover story that he could cure MS. He charged the patient's family $100,000, with the promise that not only could he cure her MS, but would personally be available for the treatment sessions. After receiving the money and over a period of approximately 10 months, he showed up, at most ten times, having others only intermittently show up in his stead. The patient's MS rapidly progressed. Her family, distraught, hired a private investigator, who also suffered from the illness. Her testimony against Dardik, as well as the testimony of three other duped patients sealed his fate as a quack. The story was chronicled in Burstein Macfarlane's book, written with her sister, ''Legwork: An Inspiring Journey Through a Chronic Illness'' (Lisa Drew/Simon & Schuster 1994), in which she discusses that more than the money taken, Dardik had robbed her of her hope. article<ref>{{cite news|work=[[US News & World Report]]|title=Irving Dardik, wave maker|url=http://health.usnews.com/usnews/health/articles/051026/26book.htm|last=Querna|first=Betsy|date=26 October 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]|title=Back on her feet|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-01-09/features/9201030201_1_dr-irv-dardik-ellen-macfarlane-surgeon-from-new-jersey|last=Imperiale|first=Nancy|date=9 January 1992}}</ref>

==Cold fusion==
In 2004, Dardik put his waveenergy theory to use attempting to produce [[cold fusion]].<ref name=WP>{{cite news|url=httphttps://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54964-2004Nov16_5.html|title=Warming Up to Cold Fusion|last=Weinberger|first=Sharon|work=[[The Washington Post]]|date=21 November 2004}}</ref> Working with [[Israel]]i company Energetics Technologies, his group claimed "startling results."<ref name=WP/> Energetics Technologies is currently set up at the Business Incubator of the University of Missouri <ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2011/dec/03/mu-research-chief-wants-cold-fusion-puzzle-solved/ |title=MU research chief wants 'cold fusion' puzzle solved - Janese Silvey - Columbia Tribune December 3, 2011] |access-date=December 5, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111204085000/http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2011/dec/03/mu-research-chief-wants-cold-fusion-puzzle-solved/ |archive-date=December 4, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://muincubator.com/clients.html |title=Business Incubator of the University of Missouri] |access-date=2011-12-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210215243/http://muincubator.com/clients.html |archive-date=2012-02-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
Dardik appears in "''The Believers"'', a 2012 film about cold fusion, in which he claims to use his theories to both explain cold fusion and to treat cold fusion proponent [[Martin Fleischmann]] for his [[Parkinson's Diseasedisease]].<ref>Screen Daily, [http://www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-latest/the-believers/5047850.article# "The Believers"], Oct. 7, 2012</ref>
 
==Legal history==
In 1996, a [[New Jersey]] [[family court]] judge ordered that Dardik spend evenings in the [[Bergen County Jail]] until he could pay $24,000 towards spousal and child support arrears totaling $850,000.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Groves|first1=Bob|title=Surgeon Must Spend His Nights in Jail |url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-22516696.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911093305/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-22516696.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 September 2016|access-date=2 August 2016|work=[[The Record (Bergen County)|The Record (Bergen County, NJ)]]|publisher=North Jersey Media Group|date=30 August 1996|via=HighBeam Research }}</ref>
