Beware the Online Quack

Beware;

Make intelligent Internet health decisions

Here are some of the warning signs to watch out for;

• Sweeping claims that most diseases are caused by diet or can be cured with vitamin and mineral supplements.
• Pseudo-medical jargon, such as offers to "detoxify" or balance" your body.
• Anyone claiming that doctors, drug companies or the government are trying to suppress their find.
• "Secret cures"-quacks only keep them secret to stop others proving they don't work.
• Products claiming to work against unrelated diseases.
• Encouragement to ignore established scientific thinking and " think for yourself."
• Testimonial or (often misquoted) scientific references.
• Approaches that seem to focus on people whose judgement may be clouded by desperation.
