Ask what was actually tested
How to judge medical proof
Match the proof to the promise.
A scientific-looking page can still answer the wrong question. Start with the exact product and exact claim.
For a treatment claim
- Was the exact ingredient tested?
- Was it given the same way—for example, as a pill or injection?
- Were people like the intended patient studied?
- Was the result a health outcome or only a lab change?
- Does an FDA label cover that use?
Claims that do less work
A patent proves that someone filed an invention. It does not prove the invention helps patients. A before-and-after image does not show what else changed.
The FDA does not review a compounded medicine for safety, effectiveness or quality before sale.
