Source: Top ten signs your detox may be a scam – Science-Based Medicine
Here’s the list here, but you need to go read the article because it’s good.
1. Watch for the word “homeopathic”
2. The detox claims to treat or remove Candida
3. Intravenous vitamin infusions
4. It’s coffee, but not the kind you drink
5. It contains activated charcoal
6. The detox is promoted by a naturopath
7. Alkali Anything
8. “Recommended by Goop”
9. The detox doesn’t name the specific toxins that are removed
10. The detox is said to clean your organs
I used to be a nurse, not that there aren’t batty nurses out there, and I have seen so many good people that were suffering get hooked into this crap. The problem isn’t that people don’t suffer from painful, uncomfortable symptoms, it’s that a lot of these cleanses and other fake medical services won’t help, and take advantage of patients that are desperate for help.
There is nothing more frustrating then seeing a patient you know is in need of help, get an entire P.T. Barnum, “A sucker is born every minute” showmanship sales pitch by some natural medicine purveyor that will never do anything about the suffering the patient is enduring. It’s all a cash grab.
