“trust Me I’m A Doctor”?
Has anyone noticed that some of the answers given,particularly those relating to diet and weight loss are prefaced by the answerer saying they are a Doctor;this is usually followed by them recommending a particular drug and directing the questioner to a website where such drugs are available.No doctor will recommend a drug without a medical examination and if they did they would be hauled up before the General Medical Council and promptley ’struck’ off the registry of medical practitioners.If you want to check out weight loss pills or drugs I would suggest a reputable site such as ‘drugs.com’ who will give an unbiased report and information.
Also be aware of the scam reference Acai berries and Green Tea.These items have a very limited effect on weight loss and are usually promoted as ‘Anti-Oxidants’ and again their use is highly questionable as they can only rely on ‘Anecdotal’ evidence in support of them(not independently and scientifically tested only support by ‘Word of Mouth)
The supporters of such items inevitably direct you to a site which sells them……..you may have noticed the same people answering questions on diet/fitness/weight loss etc. with the same consistent answer don’t be fooled it’s a scam.

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/
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.
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.
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.
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.
