I hate all those sites claiming miracle cures in a bottle. A friend of mine fell for a scam last year from a company focused on ayurvedic medicine. He was in need of a kidney transplant and they claimed with their protocol he would be returned to health. Needless to say (and $15 000 later) it did not work and thankfully he received a transplant. I chased the company to no avail. It was a wall of silence.
Dr Oz indeed! I am sure he left Oprah's Xmas list a few years ago:))
I’m glad I’m not the only one to seek help online, Lee. Thank you for validating our vulnerability when medical issues arise. So glad your friend got the required transplant. And thankful that today I can still see.
Every time I run into one of those interminable videos, I check for an end time. There is never one and I bail. I'm learning to recognize them earlier but they are all grifters.
Thanks for reading, Don A. I try to avoid them too but of course I’m looking for something hopeful to latch onto. He was very tricky in listing all the details of what happens to your vision and claiming he had them too. HA!

Loved the piece, Katharine! Reminded me of Margaret Atwood’s recent post.
Well, thank you, Irma. That is company I would like to keep. I’ll have to check out the post you referenced.
Her page is called “In The Writing Burrow,” and the Post I referenced is called “The Pythia Blathers On.” I think you will like it.
Thanks again, Irma. I have been reading Margaret here quite often but missed her latest posts. Up to date now—yay!
