LURED by bombastic ads on local and national television, thousands of cancer patients have become victims of Harapan Baru traditional Chinese clinics throughout the country. Harapan Baru guarantees cures with its herbal treatment while infusing patients intravenously with chemotherapy, an illegal procedure given that the traditional sinsei healers are not licensed to practice modern medicine. Steroids about 200 times the strength of morphine are another 'magical' cure. This medical and ethical violation has been going on for years, yet the regulatory authorities seem to turn a blind eye to them.
