Buyer Beware - Cancer Treatment Fraud

While investigating cancer treatments, you might come across claims by a person or company that say they can cure or treat cancer.  Currently, the FDA has 187 fake cancer "cures" listed on their website - and that is only the ones they have identified.

While, complimentary and alternative medicine might be an option for your situation, you should discuss any treatment options with your doctor.

Buyer Beware
The most important thing to find out when investigating a new treatment is if the product is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  Treatments that have been approved by the FDA have gone through testing and are considered to be safe and effective.

The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offer these tips to identify fraudulent products:

  • Claims that the product cures any type of cancer
  • Personal testimonies from patients
  • Money back guarantees
  • Advertisement is filled with jargon in an attempt to "impress" you
  • Ad states that it is a "natural" remedy
  • Supplies are limited

The FDA and FTC also warn to watch out for phrases like:
  • Scientific breakthrough
  • Miracle cure
  • Secret ingredient(s)
  • Ancient remedy
Any treatments should be discussed with your doctor.  Not only can these products be harmful to your health, they can also react dangerously with your current treatments.

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how Dr ehiaguna cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr ehiaguna because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact Dr ehiaguna via drehiaguna@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2348073908953 he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus.1 HIV cure
2 cancer
3 diabetes
4 hepatitis
5 herpes.
You can contact if you are having any problem...
