GfS, there are a number of pretty good indications that you are dealing with a snake oil salesman.

One is that what the person is advocating is a simple sounding "one size fits all" solution to a number of disparate health problems.

Another is when the solution is presented, not in medical journals with the idea of testing and peer review, but in the popular media:    books written for the general public, or on late-night television "infomercials."

Yet another is when the main advocate of the new and amazing panacea wants to sell you a gadget or a tonic or a bottle of pills that will bring this miraculous healing about.

P. S. Even if it sounds vaguely plausible, Check. Then check it again.

P. P. S   And even if there were such a magic cure for most of the world's ills, it would still not replace the need for health care reform in this country.

P. P. P. S.   And that's not being opinionated. That's just good sense!
