Health scams are deceptive practices that promote false or misleading health products and treatments. These scams often claim to cure diseases, improve health, or promote weight loss without scientific evidence. They can take many forms, including miracle supplements, unproven therapies, and fraudulent medical devices. Victims of health scams may waste money and time on ineffective products, potentially harming their health. It's essential to be cautious and research any health claims thoroughly, consulting trusted sources like medical professionals or reputable health organizations before trying new treatments or products.
