Yes you are correct. It was found that she effectively lied about her qualifications:
extract from the less than brilliant Wiki, but the info in it is correct:
The British
Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has found McKeith guilty of "selling goods without legal authorisation whilst making medicinal claims about their efficacy". In an article entitled "A menace to science", Dr
Ben Goldacre criticised McKeith for using a number of legal threats to silence critics of her work.
[3] His book
Bad Science dedicates a chapter to a detailed rebuttal of McKeith's scientific credibility.

Health professionals have criticised her nutritional advice and questioned the validity of her qualifications, specifically her PhD.
[5] Another issue was "informally resolved" in 2007 by the ASA following a complaint that her use of the title 'Doctor' was misleading because her PhD was from a college not accredited by "any recognised educational authority".
[6] She then agreed to stop using the title 'Doctor' on her products, claiming she understood the complaint to be about one leaflet's failure to note her PhD "without the usual disclaimer she was not a medical doctor".

The woman is a nutcase - and a fraudster.
