August 8, 2025 – Dr. Goodenowe Files Defamation lawsuit against CBC and Geoff Leo
MOOSEJAW, SASKATCHEWAN , CANADA, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, neuroscientist, biochemist, and founder of the Restorative Health Centre in Moose Jaw, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and CBC reporter Geoff Leo, alleging that CBC and Mr. Leo have harmed his reputation, causing him to be viewed negatively by the community.
The lawsuit was issued in the Court of King's Bench Judicial Centre of Regina and claims CBC’s recent reporting contained blatantly false statements and that it failed to independently provide Dr. Goodenowe with an opportunity to rebut the allegations. By doing so, both the CBC and Mr. Leo acted with reckless disregard for the truth.
“At every stage of my career, I have worked to advance science and serve clients with integrity,” said Dr. Goodenowe. “I welcome fair, rigorous journalism. But when reporting crosses the line into defamation to satisfy a reporter’s personal pre-determined false narrative, it undermines public trust and damages years of dedicated work.
Large news organizations like CBC wield great power. With such power comes the responsibility to not abuse it or allow it to be used for oppression by its reporters. This legal action is about ensuring accuracy and accountability, not just for myself, but for others that are less able to defend themselves against such abuses of power.”
Dr. Goodenowe’s Centre operates a self-directed research program that offers education, nutritional support, and advanced biochemical testing to participants from around the world. Restorative Health is not a medical facility and does not replace conventional care, operating in compliance with provincial and federal laws.
The filing in case number KBG-RG-01794-2025 seeks monetary damages and a public retraction and calls for CBC to update its coverage to include the complete statements, client consents, and program data provided to its journalists prior to publication.
Dr. Goodenowe states that he will “vigorously defend against falsehoods” and “restore public confidence in accurate reporting about innovative health research.”
