How to recognize charlatanism in health practices




Unfortunately, there are always charlatanism in the area of ​​Health practices – offers that have no scientific basis or can even be dangerous for health. Here are some important information on how to recognize charlatanism and protect yourself:

  2. Missing scientific basis: Check whether there are scientific studies or recognized medical evidence that support the effectiveness of the method. Scharlatne often offer “secret” or “suppressed” healing methods without presenting well -founded research, which can be a sign of charlatanism in the health industry.
  3. Pressure on quick decisions: If providers urge you to buy expensive products or services immediately, you should be careful. Serious practitioners enable you to make an informed decision in peace.
  4. No clear explanation of the method: If the practice is difficult to explain or based on “mysterious energies” or “invisible forces”, without clear explanations of how it works, it could be a charlatanism. Serious providers explain how their methods work and why they could be advantageous for health.
  5. Missing qualifications: Check the provider’s qualifications and certifications. Scharmatne often does not have a sound training or work without recognized qualifications, which can be dangerous for health.
  6. Expensive “special products”: Scharmatne often sell expensive agents or devices that are supposedly “miraculous” effects. Scharmatanie can be expensive and dangerous for health. Research whether these products are demonstrably effective and whether they have been tested by independent institutions.
  7. Also the so -called conventional medicine is not immune from charlatanism. Make sure pharmaceutical products especially because of side effects for health!
