Preamble: Time & Time Again I have mentioned How the Draconian NWO Globalists Policies eventually filter Down-Under to Australia (Generally within a 1 - 6 month 'Lag-Time').
When I see a 'Cluster' of Fearmongering Headlines like this 'below' I know the NWO Globalists are going to try and 'Take-Down' Australia's entire Alternative Health Therapy & Remedies industry..!

HEALTH RISKS: Untested and unregistered natural health therapies are putting lives at risk. Source: The Courier-Mail
HEALTH authorities have failed to keep up with an explosion in natural therapists as lives are put at risk from untested, unproven and potentially dangerous services.
Comment: WOW - There it is in the 1st sentence in the 1st of 4 Clustered articles on the subject..!
More than 200,000 practitioners work in unregistered health fields Australia-wide and complementary medicines generate almost $2 billion a year, but little can be done when treatments go wrong.
In a damning assessment of consumer-protection measures, Queensland's health watchdog admits it is powerless to respond to the misconduct of alternative healers and other unregistered practitioners.
"The status quo does not sufficiently protect consumers from (the) risk of harm from unregistered health practitioners," the Health Quality and Complaints Commission says in a confidential paper obtained by The Sunday Mail.
Naturopathy, faith and spiritual healing, Chinese medicine, homeopathy and massage are among the unregulated fields in Queensland, with the medical community warning of a health "time bomb".
"This is a public health issue waiting to explode," said UQ School of Population Health researcher Jon Wardle, who has found there are now more alternative medical practitioners than doctors in some areas.
"For half the healthcare sector to be non-regulated is completely inappropriate it is the black market of health."
The Australian Traditional Medicine Society says the industry is "overall very safe" but supports reforms to protect consumers.
Figures obtained by The Sunday Mail show there have been 119 complaints about alternative practitioners to the state's health watchdog in the past three years. Allegations of assault, rough and painful treatment, illegal practices, medication errors and inappropriate treatment are among the complaints.
However, the complaints commission is unable to discipline offenders and can only forward cases to other agencies for action under general consumer and criminal laws.
The state lags a long way behind NSW, where a health complaints commissioner can ban unregistered practitioners who breach a statutory code of conduct. There are no similar prohibition powers in Queensland.
An acupuncturist who caused a collapsed lung was among nine people banned in NSW since 2008.
Doctors' group the AMA says it is aware of dangerous practices, including practitioners claiming to be able to change DNA. "These practitioners sometimes lead patients to believe almost magical things can be done," Queensland AMA president Dr Richard Kidd said.
A further 80 complaints were made about complementary medicines and therapies to Queensland's Office of Fair Trading since 2008.
A huge question mark hangs over the safety of complementary medicines, with a scathing report this month revealing that nine out of 10 products were not meeting regulatory standards.
The Auditor-General's report found the 10,000 complementary medicines registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration did not have to be tested for safety nor efficacy.
A TGA spokeswoman last week said there were 276 adverse drug reaction reports relating to complementary medicines, or 2 per cent of all reports.
Grave concerns about the policing of alternative operators this year prompted the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council to launch a review of regulation. The body, due to report to health ministers in November, consulted with representative associations and found there were at least 200,000 practitioners.
Queensland's Health Quality Complaints Commission sent a "private and confidential" submission to the advisory council backing a national code of conduct and banning powers.
The present system allowed repeat offenders to "continue providing health services that harm the public", chief executive Cheryl Herbert wrote.

PS - Mark my words "They are Coming-After the Alternative Health Industry in Australia" just like the FDA has done in America.
I share this 'Thread' with you on how you too can 'SPOT the CON', in the hope of educating others how the NWO Globalists, Big Pharma & MSM work in tandem to 'DESTROY' any industry they have 'No Control' over which in turn is taking $2Billion out of their Coffers on a Yearly basis..!
I am not trying to be a 'Know It All'...I am merely trying to Educate others on how to 'Catch Out' these CRIMINALS...
