EXCLUSIVE: SPECIAL INVESTIGATION
A FORMER Queensland police officer has returned to Australia from Bali after local authorities began investigating him over allegations he was offering medical treatments to help cure children of autism and a host of other diseases without any medical training.
And Indonesian authorities have a blunt message for him — if he returns they will investigate him for allegedly violating local health laws and, if proven, he could be jailed and black-listed from returning.
Christopher William Savage, a prominent anti-vaccination campaigner and one time One Nation candidate, who authorities in Australia say has no registered medical training, had been in Bali for the past six months allegedly providing “services” he says he was not allowed to offer in Australia.
These included intravenous infusions of Magnesium and a chemical called DMSO or dimethyl sulfoxide for children with autism, for people with blocked or calcified arteries and aorta, cancer and other ailments which he claimed to be conducting in a Bali clinic or in people’s hotel rooms.
He advertised the infusions and gave guarantees that he could fix problems that western medicine was unable to do.
But last week, when News Corp Australia and Indonesian Health and Immigration authorities began investigating Savage’s activities in Bali, he packed up and flew home to Amamoor on the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland.

Mr Savage told News Corp Australia that he was not personally doing the procedures but that a “specialist”, who he was not prepared to identify, was doing them.
And he denied the procedure was done at the Gaia Clinic in Ubud. He said the 50 or so people treated were given the infusions at their hotel rooms or for locals, who were treated for free, at their homes.
After initially saying he would not discuss his work in Bali or the infusions, Mr Savage defended what he says was a business feasibility study which he says he was forced to abandon after a ‘”scandalous piece of lies” was spread about him by the Australian Skeptics group.
“No one got hurt. Certainly no one died, all were exceedingly happy but of course the way the world is they don’t want to know how to heal people ...” Mr Savage said of the people treated in Bali.
“I wasn’t doing medical procedures. All the medical procedures were done by people that were qualified and I was giving advice to these medically qualified people,” he said. “I didn’t treat anyone, I oversaw the treatment of people by the professionals.”

After authorities starting looking at the Bali treatments three videos posted on Youtube, where Mr Savage personally outlined the supposed lifesaving and life-changing work, which he called The Bali Bulletin, were suddenly removed from the site.
A News Corp Australia investigation reveals that Savage first arrived in Bali in August last year and claims to have started doing intravenous infusions of Magnesium chloride and DMSO, saying that up to 16 IV bags of the substance, at a cost of $150 per bag, could be needed to cure
disease.
In one private social media post obtained by News Corp Australia, Savage tells a potential customer: “IV magnesium with DMSO is the most incredible treatment I have ever known. Have reversed autism, cancer and a whole host of other diseases by removing all toxins, calcification and excess oestrogen.”
He says the treatment was only available in Bali “because the west including Australia has been hijacked by criminal corporations and their minions”. He was referring to drug companies.

Medical professionals have told News Corp Australia that there is no known situation where Magnesium and DMSO would be given together to a patient intravenously and that IV magnesium is only used in clinical settings for things like chronic asthma, pre-eclampsia and life-threatening heart arrhythmia.
Dr Rachel Heap, an intensive care doctor from northern New South Wales, says that too much magnesium in the body slows the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure and in extreme circumstances causes heart attacks.
“Intravenous magnesium is known as one of the high-risk medications,” Dr Heap said.
“There is absolutely no justification for intravenous magnesium outside of a hospital setting,”
Staff at the Gaia Clinic in Ubud, where Savage claimed to have been doing the IV therapies and where News Corp Australia spotted him last week, denied that he had worked there or that he was offering IV infusions. Gaia calls itself a holistic wellness centre.
Nurse Ni Luh Sukasih said she thought Savage was a doctor and admitted that she knew he had returned to Australia.
On Tuesday last week News Corp Australia saw Savage arrive at the Gaia wellness centre on a motorbike with an unknown woman. He went inside the clinic and came out carrying a box with the words “infusion” on it before riding off with the woman.
Later that evening he flew back to Australia. On Tuesday Mr Savage initially denied being at the clinic or having any association with it.
By Thursday Indonesian health authorities were at the centre with some questions for Savage but were told by staff he didn’t work there.
“Intravenous infusions must be conducted by a doctor. It’s a violation of law if the infusions are not conducted by a doctor,” Gianyar Health Agency head, Ida Ayu Cahyani, said.
In one document obtained by News Corp Australia Savage says: “You can choose to have the IV infusions at Gaia Clinic in Ubud or within your room of the chosen accommodation.”

The Bali Health Agency chief, Ketut Suarjaya, told News Corp Australia that the agency was investigating whether he had violated three different Indonesian laws.
If proven that he was providing medical services without a permit from the Health Ministry he could be prosecuted and face up to five years in jail if convicted.
According to the Australian national regulatory scheme for health practitioners, which monitors 14 health professions, Savage has not been registered as a health practitioner.
And according to Queensland Police, Savage was a member from 1989 to 1993 when he resigned. He was re-sworn in 193 and medically retired in 2011.
In a YouTube video dated February 15 this year Savage says the Bali Bulletin that day is “addressed to the young mothers who have vaccine-injured children” which he says are injured by the ingredients of vaccines.
He tells of two young boys with autism who were given two 500ml IV bags of DMSO magnesium and the parents immediately witnessed changes.
In another document, called Bali Bulletin — Rejuvenation and Restoration Clinic, Savage says the boys were eight and 12 with mild autism that included limited speech, blank looks, eclusiveness,
allergies and significant personality dysfunction.
“Each child had 2 infusions and recovered from autism. I witnessed all the initial transformations take place and their parents subsequently report their children have developed normally with speech and interactions with family members and members of the community. A further report is that they no longer suffer allergies,” Savage says.
Savage claims that “intravenous infusions of magnesium chloride and DMSO remove toxicity from the brain and body”.

But medical professionals say there is no medical basis for using the two substances together and that use of either one of them could be dangerous, especially if administered by untrained people.
Dr Greg Kyle, the head of Pharmacy at Queensland University of Technology, said there were no occasions when clinically one would use magnesium and DMSO together in an IV infusion.
“I cannot find too many reasons for it being used therapeutically. It is not a compound that you see used as a medication,” Prof Kyle said.
Dr Heap said that clinically magnesium would only be given through an IV for life-threatening heart arrhythmia, acute and life-threatening asthma and pre-eclampsia.
CHRIS SAVAGE’S OTHER CLAIMS
IN addition to assisting children with autism, other ailments which Savage claims in the Bali Bulletin documents to have healed include:
* A female with endometriosis and endocrine issues completed five infusions and her menstrual cycle, absent for five years, returned and the endometrium was restored;
* A client with recurring migraines completed four infusions and experience new brain clarity, cognitive function and no further migraines;
* A client with an occluded aorta, throat cancer and thyroid dysfunction who had four infusions to clear the aorta and a further 10 infusions before the treatment was cut short to return to Australia by which time the cancer was reduced by 90 per cent;
* A client advised by a western doctor to have a hip replacement due to chronic osteoporosis and who after one infusion the hip pain was reduced by 90 per cent and after a second infusion the pain was eliminated and a hip replacement was no longer needed.
