Warnings over man claiming to be a doctor offering 'body scans'

Melanie Earley Reporter from Rodney Times

Kia ora neighbours, a Christchurch man who claims to be a doctor and was the subject of a Ministry of Health warning in 2022 is bringing his 'full body health scans' to Whangaparāoa.

An email sent by Marvel Health, a Christchurch-based business co-founded by Machi Mannu, said he was coming to Whangaparāoa to give a presentation about “working with the most powerful healer – your own body”.

The email stated Mannu – who does not have New Zealand medical registration – would speak about “useless” surgeries, “deadly” drugs to avoid at all costs and people could book full body health scans.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
