Pure Fraud Products

Some unscrupulous internet pharmacies offer pure fraud products that claim to treat unrelated diseases or diseases of multiple causes with one product. Often, scientific language is used to convince consumers that they are taking an approved product; or these operations will try to drive a wedge between traditional physician/patient relationships by telling consumers that "this is the cure doctors don’t want you to know about." Testimonials are often used on these Web sites, saying things like: “This worked for me, and I lost 40 pounds in 40 days.” And the claim is frequently made that since the products are all natural there is no risk of side effects.
