You hear about the  “Miracle” diet drugs, or the  “All Natural” supplements,  there are tons of health scams out there. Be aware and avoid them.  Health fraud scams refer to products that claim to prevent, treat, or cure diseases or other health conditions, but are not proven safe and effective for those uses.

Health fraud scams waste money and can lead to delays in getting proper diagnosis and treatment. They can also cause serious or even fatal injuries.   If you are not sure about a health product or are thinking about using one talk to your physician first about it and see what he or she best advises.
