When anyone online says “trust me”…. gees, I think you are better off trusting your guts, or your horoscope.
Don’t trust, don’t buy, and obviously, don’t drink that crap.

Instead of ranting about it, why aren’t you all clicking ‘report abuse’ and then the ’spam’ option?! It’s what I do every time, and they do get deleted.

I agree with the Acai berries and Green tea idiots.
They keep recommending them for 13 and 14 year old who are no way over weight.
There are several more creeping in.
I always vote them off and have reported the 1st 2 several times.

yeah. I totally agree. It really bugs me when all you see is spam.There must be a better way to stop it.The scary thing is some people see “I’m a Doctor” and they think it’s real. It’s usually a scam that can cause more harm then good.

They seem to have weeded out the Wu-Yi tea nuts, acai marches on and there is some female (or females) who go into a long diatribe about a prouct and end with dedicate! I have reported various sites with links to high risk websites and some that are blatantly advertising. The latter are not always removed. Perhaps it needs 2 people to report a post.
If you search for information on many products such as protein supplements, doing a colon cleanse, herbal diet pills, fat binders, special water(!), there is little information re the ingredients and no report by an independent medical authority.
So many scams and so many desperate people with more money than sense, but what to do?
I have seen posts from people who want to gain weight and the acai posters reply. The word weight must trigger them into action.
These people are trying, the link was give to me by an excellent contributor in the cancer sectionhttp://www.quackwatch.com/

Comment on How Can I Lose Weight Quickly And Effectively? by Counselormom

If I am reading this right you are 15 years old? First I must ask is if you are really overwieght or see yourself as overweight? If this is the case, go weigh yourself, ask a physical education teacher at your school what your acceptable weight is supposed to be. Then if the case you need to drop pounds, then speak to your parents first. Let them know your concerns. Do not hide this from those who care. Then follow a healthy regiment of eating right and exercise. Colon cleansers are just that… they act as a laxative… technically it’s the same thing as forcing yourself to throw- up after eating. Sorry to be blunt but if you trully think you need to lose weight ask your parents to take you to a certified dietician… they are the experts.
