After looking over the site, the product claims to be an all natural herbal supplement, so the FDA can't do much as long as the product is safe and "their" evidence shows it to not be false. But considering how many products like this are on the market, it is no surprise the FDA can't keep up. But the FDA does need to take more control with regards to dietary supplements.

Educated people should know when the word "Cure" is used with the word "Psoriasis", then the product is snake oil.

The FDA regulates both food and drugs, which includes "natural" supplements since they are considered food substances. My understanding is that no product, whether herbal, "natural," OTC or otherwise may legally claim that it cures Psoriasis, and that they can indeed be subject to legal action if they make this claim.

Certainly the FTC has an interest in this too as, if not true, it constitutes false advertising.

And I believe that the only acceptable defense would be to prove that it actually does cure it.

I have written to the FDA on three other occasions using the method of contact that they provide for such things, including reporting something similar to this. They never responded to any of my questions and as far as I know no action was ever taken.

That's our tax dollars at work.

I wouldn't be surprised. If its not toxic and harming people, its not really worth the tax dollars to pursue it. Especially when they have drugs and what not out there that could pose a real threat to people's health.

The FDA is charged by with enforcing the laws relating to such violations. If they aren't going to enforce the laws, why have the laws in the first place.

If it is illegal to advertise a ""cure" for psoriasis, then this company is blatantly violating that law. And if it is the FDA's responsibility to attempt to stop them, then there would be no excuse for not doing so.

I actually tried it. paid 99.99 plus shipping for the 6 month "cleanse" since I have had psoriasis for longer than 2 years.

It's a hoax.

Their 180 day guarantee.. is that at the end of 180 days you are guaranteed to get more of the suppliments free.. as long as you pay the $12.95 per month shipping fee.

There is no money back, even though that is what is implied all over their website.

Its a hoax and its fraud. I hope someone shuts them down. But I'm sure there are thousands more like me who are frustrated about this... no relief and now out $100.

Don't fall for it.

There are several ways to be harmed by these schemes. First, cash is usually involved. And, some of these 'solutions' can be quite expensive. Second and perhaps more importantly, reasonable therapy can be delayed.

In the 1960s and 70s, Laetrile was promoted as a cure for cancer. Despite the lack of credible evidence, tens of thousands of Americans decided to take a therapy that ultimately was proven to be ineffective. The NPF supports all of your efforts in finding a solution that works well for you. Please realize that some 'treatments' prey on your need for relief but have no rational basis in science or in medicine.
