Durek Verrett

Durek Verrett (born November 17, 1974, as Derek David Verrett) is an American conspiracy theorist, businessman, alternative therapist, self-professed shaman and author. He has been widely described by Norwegian media and other observers as a conman and conspiracy theorist.

In his book Spirit Hacking he promotes several pseudoscientific views. He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women's vaginas and offers exercises to "clean out" said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it; and suggests that chemotherapy does not work and is given to cancer patients only because doctors make money from it.

He promotes the Reptilian conspiracy theory, and has said that he considers himself to be a reptilian. He regards 5G technology to be a conspiracy by "those who enslave the planet." He claims that he had knowledge of the September 11 attacks two years before they happened, but chose not to intervene. He says that he can "turn atoms" and literally reduce people's age.

He has made many false statements about his career, including claiming that he treated children for cancer at Shamir Medical Center in Israel using shamanistic methods, while the hospital denied any knowledge of him. By his own admission he is a convicted felon who has served time in prison in the United States, while numerous of his former partners, including his former male fiancé Hank Greenberg, have accused him of domestic abuse. In 2024 he was described as one of "20 famous conspiracy theorists" alongside David Icke and Alex Jones. Bergens Tidende questioned the claimed celebrity status of Verrett, describing him as "at best a D-list celebrity." On 31 Aug. 2024 he married Princess Märtha Louise of Norway.
