Like many governments, the US tries to protect its citizens from quackery and scam. We license medical service providers, regulate clinical drug testing, and enforce disclosures of medical risks. Indeed, societies need these processes to properly assess the efficacy and dangers of new medical technologies. But when the vast majority of our population lacks a basic understanding of scientific principles, the medical safeguards fail. Con men exploit the scientifically illiterate by appealling to their hope for miracle cures, while overcoming their skepticism with confusing and intimidating jargon.

Today's blog post is inspired by one particularly egregious example of highly scalable theft -- a phenomenally successful product called Airborne, that is the number one selling cold and flu remedy in many large drug retailers. Allegedly, sales have topped $100 million after several consecutive years of doubling revenues.

The pill itself is nothing but some vitamins, some commercially tired herbs and the electrolytes you get from a swish of Gatorade. But Airborne's success springs from a remarkably shrewd and sinister campaign that employs a number of diversions to mislead the public without blatantly violating any laws. Essentially, the clever marketing messages and packaging suggest that Airborne cures the common cold, without ever actually saying so.

Thanks David, you are an inspiration!!

Hey Mike Luckovich, it is OK to ask WHY, but be prepared to hear the answer!

....so that you can live in a world where you can ask that very question....without being killed for asking it.

There is no civility in a Islamofacist world...a world which will become a local reality if you don't kill them first.

I hope the libs, tethered to their ideals, don't get too upset. I actually like Mike.

LIBERAL SCUM : the result of what toils within America's most popular mental disorder

Click On PICTURE FOR more liberal blindness and correctness...I guess leaks in the government and local gas prices are more important than preventing an Islamofacist world from entering our country

Yes, you rant about America's imperialism, and our horrible president...your liberal pacifism knows no bounds ...where turning the other cheek in blatant disregard to human suffering is better than fighting and facing the reality ...ok i'll stop...but C'MON!! this is like something out of the jim crow era! How can you just sit there... eating your tofu, hugging a tree, wasting your time coming up with new cynical quips mirroring your disdain for the President ... and just sit idly by ..while you protest your anti-military/anti-gun liberal agenda against this reality!!

Man in Iran has wife executed for hitting him after he lost their daughter in a gambling match..oh it gets better...

liberals in America cry, "the man has rights!!" "..we should not intervene in delicate matters of the iranian culture..." and if we do intervene?? An unnamed liberal news anchor responds"this is the long arm of America's imperialization if we DO intervene!"

ahhh yes the familiar protect-the victims-rights-at-whatever-cost mentality and in this case, the victim is the man! This liberal mentality is carried over locally in our own society albeit a smaller scale.

oh here is a good one...Soldier court-martialled after killing enemy combatant with a bomb strapped to his chest, but because the insurgent didn't attack first, preemptive attack was not deemed "appropriate"...I heard about this locally the other day: man shoots gang member in back after gang member allegedly rapes his wife- man goes to jail because he shot the gang member in the back . Or the more recent: Mother of gang member sues peace officer after son was shot car jacking a couple in broad daylight!. The liberal agenda prevails everytime..I swear I live in the most backwards state in the union!!

WHAT THE LIBERAL PRESS WILL NOT SHOW YOU!!! <----CLICK HERE

This is ridiculous .....and liberals think preemption is a bad idea compared to this, where President Bush is soooo baaaad compared to this….where notions of imperialism and mishandled prisoners at Gitmo pales in comparison to this.....sorry my fellow liberal scum Americans ..it does not.

IRAN : A 17 year old girl is sentenced to death by hanging.

I'm sorry, but PEACE should NOT prevail against a place where things like this are common.

Man is sentenced to death for DRINKING WINE!! ...third offense so he is sentenced to death

Yes, I am all about curbing human overpopulation...but I have my preferences...and people who run a country with Islamofascist ideals should die first and then the peace loving liberals who do nothing to stop them should be next.

If this is what they do to their own people try to fathom what they would do to your family.
