Alternative medicine needs to be regulated, we can't let this happen again:
There are calls for tighter regulation of the alternative medicine industry after a woman's agonising death.
Penelope Dingle died in August 2005 after initially refusing cancer surgery, opting to be treated with alternative remedies instead.
Dingle was treated for rectal cancer by a homeopath who has been blasted by a coroner investigating the case, saying she was an 'incompetent health professional'.
The Cancer Council says the case highlights the desperation of some cancer sufferers.
