In discussing products with your health care provider (whether you believe them to be effective or not), you should be prepared to note the following:

• Any claim that a product cures a disease is false;

• Claims of a miraculous, foolproof, secret, or suppressed treatment should be regarded with suspicion;

• Claims that a product enhances or boosts immune function are suspicious;

• Claims of discovery or testing in another country should be regarded with skepticism;

• Products that are sold to treat multiple diseases or conditions are likely to be fraudulent and;

• Personal success stories are not proof that a product works.
