Woman Dies Days After Bogus 'Vaginal Blowing' Care

An Australian woman died after a "doctor" gave her a bogus cancer cure, a parliamentary committee heard on Monday.

The committee took evidence from Shirley O'Donnell, whose daughter Shannon died 36 days after receiving care he called "ozone treatment" and "vaginal blowing" in 2003 from a man known as Lubo Bitelco.

O'Donnell was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and went to Bitelco after hearing from a friend about his treatments.

He promised her a "50 per cent cure" after giving her a treatment known as "vaginal blowing" during which she had to move up and down on the bed saying "Oh, Boy."

He then offered to continue the treatment for almost $10,000, showing her albums and videos of previous clients: "Shannon told me he had an album of women patients whom he photographed nude, and she had advised Lubo she would not be photographed nude while being treated."

"I hope something is going to be done to stop him," said Shirley. "I can't do anything about Shannon but I would like the police to do something about him and his methods."
