Where to report health advice frauds

    Hey. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a body I could report fraudulent medical advice to. My attention has been drawn to a man giving nutritional talks in schools, encouraging parents to ignore doctors and dieticians despite having an obvious lack of any sort of knowledge of physiology. Claiming children should never be given sources of calcium as it would cause bones to be broken down, expectant mother's getting fillings causing autism in the children as well as a hoard of other bull****. I am quite appalled by this and wish to report this to the relevant authorities. It is putting children at risk by giving impressionable parents unqualified medical opinions stated as fact.

    Unless the person is claiming to be a doctor or to have a qualification that they don't possess then I don't think there is somebody you can complain to.
    There isn't anything to stop people saying any sort of rubbish they like (it is called free speech) but equally there is nothing to say people have to listen to them.
