Desperate patients will sometimes latch on to anything that can prevent certain death. Hence, they are frequent victims of scammers promising untested miracle potions or wellness regimes.  It is the same gullibility exploited by medicine men in frontier days with the same disappointment when the cure failed to work.  Australia is chasing this medicine woman for her lies which reaped hundreds of thousand of dollars and helped no one.  It is an example of the role of government to protect its citizens.  The current United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is a medicine man who has been put in charge of the machinery of health regulation. One can only hope that he lets science take its course in the development and distribution of life-saving drugs, especially vaccines.  He has influence over millions of Americans searching for cures and desperate to find something, anything that will work.
