Reporting the Snake Oil Salesman
I have sent the following message to TeamDS, DS's report abuse link and CarrieinSK to alert them that this needs to be dealt with.
Titled: Please finish the job
Hello TeamDS,
Thank you for removing the post - http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Fibromyalgia/forum/Off-Topic-Posts/10700196-fibromyalgia-lawyer-slips-up
But there is more that needs to be done. The one who posted that despicable post can be found here - http://www.dailystrength.org/people/462661 and his about me page reads as follows – “Member since January 18, 2010 I help run a blog-site intended to inspire, inform, and bring together patients of FMS. I look forward to meeting as many people and building as many relationships as I can.”
THIS IS A BLANTENT LIE! THE LINK ON HIS ABOUT ME PAGE http://fibrofreelife.com GOES TO A WEBSITE THAT IS SET UP TO SELL A BOOK AIMED AT FIBROMYALIGA SUFFERS WHO ARE DESPRIATE FOR HELP FOR $39.99!
He doesn’t give his name and has the audacity to say, and I quote, “Determined to do something about all of this.” Really it should be changed to, Determined to make money off the desperation of people who suffer!
BELOW IS A LINK TO HIS JOURNAL ENTRY DATED 2-5-2010 AND READS AS FOLLOWS –
Friday, February 5, 2010 Kind of an interesting subject, but as many of you may or may not know, the doctor that I work for is a podiatrist. He treats fibromyalgia using an eastern philosophy, kind of like acupuncture but more focused on the foot. My question to everyone, is how many treatments, if any, have you had targeting your feet? I assume many people have used alterntaive treatments, like massage, acupuncture, hot/cold, etc. What succcess rate have you had with these, and have any doctors told you the reasons why they may work, opposed to simply taking medication?http://www.dailystrength.org/people/462661/journal/1803305
THIS IS BLATENLY TARGETING DESPERATE SUFFERING PEOPLE TO BRING THEM TO THEIR WEBSITE TO SELL THEM A BOOK!
