Josebab,

I am submitting that the "fraudulent claim to medical knowledge" was made by 
the person that was interviewed, not by the journalist who interviewed her. The 
use of the word "curative" in a bold caption/subheading in the article could 
also be regarded as fraudulent in the sense that it is a "deception" or 
"humbug". Please see the many dictionary meanings of the word fraud: 
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fraud?s=t

But I don't know whether the journalist in question or her editor put that word 
in the caption/subheading.

Cheers,

Santosh
