Another con job

I found this brochure sticking out from my car in the hospital carpark. Among the many claims of cure from cancer to stroke, surely the claim that this medicine from China cures "nyanyuk" beats 'em all. (Nyanyuk = forgetfulness usually associated with dementia/ageing). This must be the fountain of youth we've all been waiting for.


In the brochure, coronary artery stenting was illustrated together with a ventilated patient. It did not expressly say that the medicine can unblock the arteries nor cure respiratory failure but I'm sure one can guess the implied message. And this was circulated in a hospital carpark!
