This is a good warning to all of us. Always fact check information and advertisments.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

@mmwagner46 - The ad was removed from the discussion hence not to give it any creditability. I have reported a few that I have seen but it's been awhile so don't remember the specifics other that it was a dubious treatment advertising that showed the Mayo Clinic logo without any reference link to Mayo Clinic data.

Of course these things pop up in our feeds as we are researching. This is another. If this is still an active thread? The stories always sound so good. But, too good to be true! If one pill fixed all,…. But I do wonder if something can be drawn from some of this, as some modern medicine hasn’t fixed the bone loss issues either???? https://thirmik.com/blogs/featured-posts/thryve-bone
I have no clue on this one either. Anyone see anything like this?

Here is a good article written by Mayo Clinic to help spot fake health information
- Can you spot a fake health article? https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/spot-fake-health-articles-misinformation/art-20587692
In this case, the advertisers tried to mis-use Mayo and FDA to give credibility to their product. Mayo Clinic never advertises products like this.

1 Reaction@joyboudreau 2 days ago I informed my Rheumatologist I would consider this Salve vs. Methotrexate.
@msjunior Arthritis is in my DNA. I had a Great-Aunt that used Anti-Freeze on her knees. She was 99yrs old when she went to be with the LORD.
