She also allegedly sold drugs from India that were not FDA approved for dispensing in the U.S., with a 3,000 percent price markup. In one case she allegedly sent a patient for x-rays to a cooperating chiropractor. That information was shared by Medical Board investigators with the Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
