Damning Diagnosis For Health Fads Means Bad News For The People Who Offer Them, And Scientology
Aviva, is a health insurance firm in the UK.
They has just named the top ten health fads of the rich and famous and has deemed them a total waste of money and useless.
Bad news for all the centers and people who offer these treatments and most importantly, bad news for Scientology.
Why Scientology?
Because Scientology is BIG time into detoxing. And detoxing was number four on Aviva's list.
Well hello Scientology's Purification Rundown! A double shout out to Scientology's NY Rescue Workers Detoxification program. (which was spearheaded by Tom Cruise)
AND add to that list, is Scientology's Narconon, Second Chance, Criminon or any of the many other names that Scientology hides this program behind. It's all the SAME detox program. These programs are delivered by people without medical backgrounds and these centers and programs are all unlicensed. Shocked?
It's hard to believe that someone would fork over so much money and sign up for such a grueling program without researching it first. It happens all the time to desperate families searching for a cure to get off drugs and states in the US have actually funded these programs with TAX PAYER'S DOLLLARS.
Celebrities and rich people are big targets for health fads, because they have the dough, they are vulnerable and I guess they just don't do enough homework on the backgrounds of these treatments.
GPs have slammed the health-styles of the rich and famous, warning that UK women are wasting money and potentially risking their health following celebrity health fads like cupping, colonic irrigation or extreme detoxes.GPs have named and shamed the ten most useless alternative health trends used by celebrities and their fans and, in a damning diagnosis, declared many a waste of money and with no medical value. The research was done for Aviva.To try each treatment on the GPs' list could cost women more than £800.GPs have issued a stark warning that celebrities are having a dangerous level of influence over women's health choices and that celebrity endorsement of unproven health treatments could be putting the public at risk.
Nine in ten women believe celebrities pay for the very best and most effective treatments. A third will try a health fad simply because a celebrity has used it. Seven in ten would try alternative treatments rather than visit their doctor.
Dr Douglas Wright for Aviva says, “We understand that people like to deal with their own well being in a number of ways, but too many women are wasting money following health fads that have little effect, Just because it is expensive, or rumoured to be a celebrity favourite, is not an automatic guarantee that a treatment will work. Some women are opting for treatment trends rather than seeking medical advice.”
