The purveyors of magic elixirs should be held accountable for the effects of their treatments in the same way that actual medical professionals are held accountable.

It's more an issue of fraud in my view, making claims that CAM treatments cure/treat the symptoms of x when in fact they do not is no different to saying than a ponzy scheme is an investment - This in my view is different to medical competency, when someone fails to deliver an appropriate application of a proven treatment.

Perhaps you could find them guilty of both fraud and malpractice, but I think you'd have a hard time making the case for the former in most circumstances, except in regards to cases like Acupuncture deaths where needles through the heart or lungs have resulted in fatalities.
