Despite the regulatory and educational efforts of the Food and Drug Administration and other agencies and organizations, large numbers of American consumers continue to be fooled by unsubstantiated "miracle cure" claims made by manufacturers of fraudulent medical products. Physicians who are familiar with the language of health fraud advertising and product labels may be able to help patients avoid unnecessary expense, false hope, and physical and emotional harm.
尽管美国食品药品监督管理局及其他机构和组织在监管和教育方面做出了努力,但大量美国消费者仍继续被欺诈性医疗产品制造商提出的未经证实的“神奇疗法”说法所蒙骗。熟悉健康欺诈广告和产品标签用语的医生或许能够帮助患者避免不必要的花费、虚假的希望以及身体和精神上的伤害。
