Don't believe all you read!




Don't you just get tired of clicking on links hoping for information to help your condition and finding that most of them are linked to commercial products, books or services? I don't mind the ones with the flashing lights, Vegas dancers and lurid fonts...at least you can click straight away in disgust but the ones that really get under my skin are the ones which pretend to be kosher. Usually looking like real medical, or research websites, backed up by doctors and specialists and going into great detail about the condition when in fact all they want to do is lighten the weight of your wallet by selling you something!
Just be careful is all I'm saying, some of these sites are really clever in getting you to 'sign up'. This sort of spam is even more insidious than normal because it takes advantage of people who are looking for help.
