The Federal Trade Commission produced a report about diet ads and medical equipment that isn't all it's advertised to be. Some of the advertisers marketing points that made the list are:
- No Diet! No Exercise!
- Eat Your Favorite Foods and Still Lose Weight
- Scientists Announce Incredible Discovery!
- Revolutionary European Method! Ancient Chinese Secret!
- Absorbs Fat
- New Scientific/Medical Breakthrough
Any add that claims to be a "miracle cure" should be thoroughly examined. Read for youreself:
FDA warning , then tell me this doesn't sound bogus! The problem is, most people don't read the FDA warning or disclaimer(s).
The State of Texas took recent action against another maker of a treatment for ADHD, the Radiant Health products, including the Herbal Essence tonic, and the Basic Essence and Mineral Essence pills, stating that they made misleading claims in marketing their products.
But just because a company or product hasn't been disciplined by the FDA or FTC doesn't mean that it is effective or safe.
If you need to research a company, be sure to check the Better Business Bureau.
Lastly, remember that:
- all natural does not always mean safe
- anyone can put up a website. Just because a company or product has a fancy website doesn't mean that it is not a scam.
- money back guarantee does not always mean that you will get your money back. Before buying the product, call the company and act like you have already bought it and want your money back. Do they help you? Can you even get someone on the phone? If not, you will likely not get your money back if you are not satisfied.
- if the treatment really worked, why wouldn't they do a real research study to prove it?
