Truth in Advertising,is it possible?

I have been doing a bit of research into a number of topics, among which is health. Separating the chaff from the grain is problematic. There seems to be no way to tell who is telling the truth. One company and 10 to the 10th positive referrals, and the Internet multiplies that by a thousand against it. Now, all these sound plausible, but whose to know? Every positive idea has its detractors, but the Internet give a really broad place to claim malfeasance. Yes, I would like to solve some of the problems dealt with, but they don't tell you what is actually in it, where it came from and often not even what it is supposed to do. Yes, they do say it is good for the purple gout, but what is that? And even if you know what "purple gout" is, the price is not given and that seems to say that it is expensive.

Then there is the company shown of TV News as picking clients pockets at a $1 a whack. They were doing millions of whacks, at anywhere from $1:89 up to $20. My wife ordered some stuff that she heard was good, and in so doing got a months supply of Acai and of Intestinal cleanser. They billed her for a bunch of other stuff that she didn't order, charged her $89 for her "free" order and then subscribed has a monthly customer, so it could happen again and again....

I am not a schmuck, nor a sucker. What to do? Pray, be careful and don't pay them until you know what they are doing. Hard to do.
