How to Identify Health Products

They promise quick cures and easy solutions to all kinds of conditions, from obesity and cancer to AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease. They can range from herbal supplements to untested devices and health-related treatments.
But consumers who buy some of these products can only lose their money. These products can even cause serious damage to health, and many of them can be expensive for the patient because health insurance rarely covers expenses.
Here are some suggestions to identify potential fraudulent products.
Beware:
Products that claim to cure all or a wide variety of ailments. For example: “It is extremely beneficial for the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis, infections, prostate problems, ulcers, cancer, heart problems, hardening of the arteries and more.”
Statements that suggest the product can treat or cure disease. For example: “shrinks tumors” or “cures impotency.”
Promotions that use words like “scientific breakthrough,” “miraculous cure,” “exclusive product,” “secret ingredient” or “ancient remedy.” For example: “A revolutionary innovation made by using proven principles of medical science based on natural health.”
