I only clipped the names of the persons/corporations responsible. Watch out for these.
See source for the complete list.

The products contain ingredients such as bloodroot, shark cartilage, coral calcium, cesium, ellagic acid, Cat's Claw, an herbal tea called Essiac, and mushroom varieties such as Agaricus Blazeii, Shitake, Maitake, and Reishi.

These products claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease, and these products have not been shown to be safe and effective for their labeled conditions of use.

Examples of fraudulent claims for these products include:
* "Treats all forms of cancer"
* "Causes cancer cells to commit suicide!"
* "80% more effective than the world's number one cancer drug"
* "Skin cancers disappear"
* "Target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone"
* "Shrinks malignant tumors"
* "Avoid painful surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other conventional treatments"

There are studies about some of the substances in other clips on the homepage right now, and hopefully they will yield scientific results, but please, if you or anyone you know has cancer, seek conventional medical treatment. We lost a family member because she hid her illness and relied only on Internet info and scams like the ones listed here to try to treat herself.

The sellers of snake oil will never disappear, but in alternative folk's medicine like phytotherapy we can find usefil seeds. The question is how we can distinguish between fraud and jewel.

I'm sorry to hear so, Eric. I fully agree with your point of view. Never put any trust in this quackery and 'alternative therapy' or other online information. The only sure way is to consult a qualified medical doctor for a valid diagnosis and treatment.
The worst is when an 'alternative therapy' is chosen to replace a medical treatment. And what's even worse is that these companies & persons who run them make lots of money with this quackery; effectively going over dead bodies. Some of these therapies even say explicitly - as the last claim in my remark - to avoid chemotherapy, radiotherapy & surgery.

The distinguishing between fraud & jewel is a scientific endeavor. Lots of research is be...
