Komarovsky explained how to recognize “quack” medicines

0

The famous Ukrainian doctor Yevhen Komarovsky named the main signs of deception used in “quack” medicines.

The pediatrician reported this on Instagram, highlighting seven factors of deception.

Personal testimonies

“The effectiveness of the remedy is confirmed by success stories. They are easy to make up, and they do not replace scientific data,” the doctor warned.

Quick action

The doctor noted that a characteristic sign of deception is the rapid treatment of the disease.

Naturalness of components

The doctor added that the usefulness of natural components and the harmfulness of “chemistry” is a common myth, adding that resorting to it is a reason for distrust.

Miracle remedies

“References to “scientific breakthrough”, “secret development”, “defense technology” in advertising are suspicious. “Real breakthroughs in medicine are always widely covered in the press,” Komarovsky emphasized.

Conspiracy theories

The pediatrician noted that the mention of the pharmaceutical industry and the government hiding a miracle cure serves to manipulate buyers.

One product cures many diseases

The doctor explained that there is no panacea, and drugs with the promise of curing a wide range of diseases are quite suspicious.

Absence of side effects

“There are no effective medical effects without side effects. If their presence is denied, it is suspicious,” Komarovsky concluded.
