The head of the UK's first regulator for complementary medicine has promised to get tough with the industry and drive out cowboy therapists.
Maggie Dunn, co-chairman of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), said it was time customers were given proper assurances.
She said the regulator, which is being launched on Monday, would clean up the industry used by one in five people.
And she estimated thousands of clinics may go out of business in the process.
The main plank of the council's work will be to operate a register of practitioners.
