'Someone has died here, and his family want answers'

"Someone has died here, and his family want answers."

A Current Affair reporter Dan Nolan is reflecting on the time he confronted disgraced chiropractor George Zaphir.       

In April 2016, Nolan showed Zaphir a funeral booklet for 59-year-old grandfather Ian Booth who Zaphir claimed he was "treating dietetically".

The reporter managed to track down the disgraced chiropractor, after a hidden camera sting exposed some of Zaphir's many lies.

Some of his claims included that he was a naturopath and a doctor of integrative medicine.

Zaphir could be heard telling patients in the hidden camera footage that he was able to treat terminal illnesses with an "85 per cent success rate".

But when confronted by Nolan, Zaphir said "I don't treat cancer".

"When you confront someone like George Zaphir he's going to try and talk his way out of it," Nolan reflected.

The reporter said in this instance he found it hard to keep his cool, knowing he was being lied to and also having the evidence to disprove Zaphir's claims.

But Nolan said he felt a "sense of responsibility" to help the family get closure, while also to trying to stop Zaphir from doing this again.

As a result of A Current Affair's investigation, authorities were able to shutdown Zaphir's business.

Zaphir went through court where it was revealed he had 57 previous convictions for falsely misleading people while claiming he was a doctor.

In relation to his claims he could cure cancer, he was prosecuted by the health regulator APHRA and convicted in court receiving a $12,000 fine.
