Herbalist cleared over death of patient with diabetes
The traditional Chinese medical practitioner has been acquitted as the judge ruled the woman had 'voluntarily' stopped taking her medication
A traditional Chinese medical practitioner who advised a woman with diabetes to stop taking her medication has been acquitted of manslaughter.
Yun Sen Luo, 56, had pleaded not guilty in the NSW District Court over the death of the 56-year-old woman in a Sydney hospital on June 8, 2018.
The patient, who had a history of non-compliance in taking her medication, had consulted Mr Luo about her eczema.
He advised her against using her “Western-style” medications, prescribed her herbal medications and when she became ill believed it related to the toxins leaving her body.
