Freedom Friday No. 12 "Freedom of Information" // SOME DISADVANTAGES OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION.//

Sometimes when there is freedom of information there are medicines that they want to sell to us for what they are not, since they are promoted by the media as a miraculous cure. And many people spend thousands of dollars per year on health products and treatments whose effectiveness has not been proven and which are not only useless, but sometimes also dangerous to health. They promise us that these products will work as quick cures and easy solutions for a variety of health problems, from obesity and arthritis to cancer and AIDS. But the promises of "cure" are not fulfilled and the people who buy the products lose their money with these deceptions, they also waste their time, and could even put their health at risk. For all these reasons, it is important that you learn to evaluate the information we receive on various occasions from the media that freely and often without adequate control the statements used to promote miraculous products that is related to our health.
You have seen through the social communications networks that sponsor products promoting them as miracle medicines can solve health problems and diseases. And it is not to be surprised.

Fraudulently marketed health products can have dangerous interactions with other medicines you are taking. Many treatments whose effectiveness has not been proven are costly, and are rarely covered by health insurance.

Fraudsters who profit from health giving this type of information usually point their operations towards overweight people, who suffer from serious diseases such as cancer, or other diseases that have no cure.
It is easy to understand why some people believe statements about these products, especially when they appear in the media, magazine and social networks and it is sometimes difficult to understand that the treatment is not successful. For that reason you have to investigate and ask for more information and consult a natural or specialist doctor, pharmacist or other health care professionals. There is also a case that to promote this type of information professionals are employed who may not have the proper license to practice or who lack the appropriate credentials.
Because the true promoters for health who operate legitimately and have a clear knowledge of the subject do not oppose you seeking additional information in fact, many appreciate it.
It is advisable if you are considering a treatment at a clinic that, due to its location, forces you to travel and stay away from your home, first consult your usual doctor. When obtaining information about a particular treatment, contact the local or state health authorities of the place. If the medical center is located outside the country, contact the relevant government health authority to find out if they are licensed to perform the corresponding procedures for your treatment.
For this reason I believe that freedom of information is necessary for the development of a community, but we must take into account the pros and cons that can be general about it.
