A Miracle Mineral Solution is being attempted to be sold by an online ‘church’ as a cure-all for many of the world’s diseases, such as cancer, autism, and HIV/AIDS. The Miracle Mineral Solution is a diluted bleach mixture that is being prompted and sold in Canada, regardless of all the Health Canada warnings. Health Canada is saying that MMS is unsafe for human consumption because it contains sodium chlorite, which poses serious health risks if ingested. MMS is usually taken orally or through enemas. In some cases the mixture is being used by parents who are looking for a cure for their children that have autism. The founder of the online ‘church’, Jim Humble claims that “up to 95 per cent of all diseases caused by pathogens can be cured with
The author writes with diction composed of scientific jargon that is never explained as well as quotes from seemingly “credible” people, but again, these unknown people are never explored in detail. For example, the product is supposed to “convert pain-nuclei into pleasing comfortrons” while increasing the effectiveness by matching “the Earth’s natural vibration rate of 32.805 kilofrankels.” The scientific-sounding words, comfortrons and kilofrankels, give the appearance of credibility because they sound true to someone uneducated in science, but in reality, they are completely fictitious. Also, people like “Dr. Wayne Frankel, the California State University biotrician...” and “Dr. Arthur Bluni, the pseudoscientist…” are quoted, but they have no well-known significance. Scientific jargon and quoted “scientists” are expamples of false science and authority used in advertisements to scam customers into thinking the product is credible. People have become oblivious to these things and take so many things as fact just because they sound true even though they are actually
The pseudoscientific claim that will be discussed is a claim made by Applied Nutritional Research, a company based out of Colorado, which claims that it is a distributor of nutritional health products.
Did you know, the personal care products you use every day have dozens of toxic chemicals that link to cancer, asthma, learning disabilities, and more? A campaign community working to build a healthier planet called The Story of Stuff and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, created a seven minute film called Chemicals in Beauty Products: The Story of Cosmetics. The purpose of this campaign film is to inform its viewers, specifically women and moms, about the toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo, that we may not know about. It addresses the top harmful chemicals that we are putting into our bodies, the products they are most likely found in, and
With all the unregulated dietary supplements being sold and recommended, our health insurance costs will continue to rise. If the product causes severe side effects, it should no longer be permitted to be sold in stores. The only way to touch the minds of many people is to inform them of the dangers of consuming dietary supplements. Disposing of all incorrect information in product labeling and ingredient lists is important. People need to recognize the faults that plague many advertisements. In addition businesses should promote safe products instead of the harmful ones that they advocate for. The United States Congress should consider regulating dietary supplements to maintain safety. If people are aware of the many lies companies present, then dietary supplements will be one less problem to worry about.
One of Texas’ most famous natural landmark is a giant pink rock. Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg is a massive pink granite dome that is 1,825 feet above sea level at the summit, and the entire dome covers 640 acres.
One such misleading advertisement was for a product called Skinny Pill for Kids. This diet pill was targeting kids ranging from age 6 to 12. The pill was supposed to help kids lose weight and provide essential daily vitamins, minerals and herbs. “The marketer of the supplement said her company had not done safety tests on children” (CNN, 2002). It turned out that the product being advertised as a “miracle” to help children loose weight contained herbs that are diuretics. “Uva ursi, juniper berry, and buchu leaf all cause the body to lose water. A doctors’ guide to drugs and alternative remedies, states the uva ursi should not be given to children under age 12” (CNN, 2002).
Taconite mining has become more popular ever since the rock has become rare. Taconite was once considered “waste rock,” but is currently really valuable. Since the Gogebic Iron Range has about three-fourths of all the taconite in the nation people from all over the country want to take over and start mining. Although taconite mining would do some good for the community, such as creating tons of jobs and boosting the economy for awhile, there are too many risks. Taconite mining has a negative effect on the environment and health.

NAN, a product made by Nestle is infant food formula that was marketed in third world developing countries where it is proven the water to be unsafe. Nestle, without being affected, aggressively marketed the dry baby formula to new mothers for the sole purposes of making a profit, without any regard to humanity. Companies earn profits on high priced products or services and then sell it at a higher cost than what it took to make. In order to use the infant formula, because it is a dry based product, water must be added. Continuing issues that developing countries encounter involves contaminated and unsafe drinking water. The baby formula was given to the labor and delivery wards of the hospitals where the babies were born. The babies were fed via bottles using the product from Nestle, versus being breast fed. Naturally, the babies grew to enjoy the flavor and mother’s enjoyed the new way of feeding, providing a new found freedom. Unfortunately, upon leaving the hospital, the mothers were not able to feed their babies for much longer due to not being able to afford to purchase the product. The product was sold at nearly half the cost of what a family could actually afford. In addition, to the high cost of the product, the water being used (outside the hospital) wasn’t safe. Babies were not gaining weight; they were losing weight, and becoming extremely
