Quack Miranda Warning

[BrianG]

“These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”


I like one doctor's take on this disclaimer used on most websites by somebody selling some worthless nutritional product...



"This “Quack Miranda Warning” is on every just about every woo-meister’s website. I see dozens of patients every day, and I never Mirandize them, so whats the deal?

There are three ways to look at this: the truthful way, the sinister way, and the bat-shit insane way.

1. Truth: Anyone who wants to sell you something that’s a load of crap must use this statement to cover themselves legally.

2. Sinister: Variation of above – someone wants to sell you something that you are supposed to believe is medically useful, but at the same time they tell you in fine print that it is not medically useful. When it doesn’t work, they don’t get sued.

Why anyone would buy something with that disclaimer attached to it?

When I treat someone for a medical problem, I pretty much say that I intend to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease. Why would I say otherwise? It would be a lie. Also, who would go to see a doctor that told you that they didn’t intend to diagnose or treat disease. The whole thing is bizarre.

3. Bat-shit insane: The FDA and Big Pharma are in cahoots with the AMA to keep you from learning all the simple ways to treat diseases. They want your money, and they’ll do anything they can to get it from you, including suppressing the knowledge than anyone can learn to heal cancer.

I can’t really help the people who believe #3, but people who are willing to suspend their paranoia should read #’s 1 and 2 a few times. Unless you’re being arrested, no one should be reading you your rights. The Quack Miranda Statement is a red flag warning that should send you running."

Funny...

But oh so true!

"The statements contained in this material have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The personal testimonials shared reflect individual experiences of Independent Relìv Distributors and are not necessarily typical of the results you may obtain. Relìv products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." -- Reliv

Reliv now in its 20th year has done everything it can to follow complience and regulatory directives both in business and product practices for the protection of the company. I appreciate that!

That disclaimer has not kept anyone I've spoken with from trying our products and it has given people - they've told me so on occasion - confidence that Reliv isn't trying to take the place of the doctor or that distributors are selling themselves as medical consultants or nutritional experts.

When one of my wife's doctors cynically and arrogantly suggested (when she was at the peak of pain and hopelessness) that he alone was the expert and that nutriton probably while important (ddduuuhhh what creature doesn't need some quota of nutriton and fluid to stay alive) couldn't help her that was a disservice to her and to the kind of intellectual curiosity doctors too many times discard and replace with finalized opinions to keep their life simpler and business too.

Since then we've met others less sure of their air tight conclusions and more open to measuring the potential of the known against the potential of the unknown and how compelling data can be anecdotal as well as scientific or statistical neither one being absolutely free from fallibility.

It's gotten ridiculous now a days that "everything" seems to have to have a bold warning of what boils down to just using common sense. Evidently the legal field feels we need to be protected from everything. Some stupid warnings that come to mind include:

Coffee is "HOT!"
Don't put a toaster in the bathtub.
Don't read this visor while driving.
Don't stick this pen in your eye.
Don't take bleach internally.
Keep water away from your computer.

I know there are many many more out there but you get my point. Right? OMG I hope so!

It's moot.

Every era every time has this or that warning for this or that reason good or bad paid attention to or not AND differing based on the current opinions of those who have them inclined to change at any given moment due to the randomness of information appearing at fact or truth.

You simply can't stop people activity as long as we live here.
