Neuropathy scams update
I fell hard for a scam from Quiet Nerves because the AI promoter was Dr. Yoshinori Ohsume, a Nobel Prize Winning Dr of Medicine. He spun a good tale about his wife's neuropathy. I knew of him. Knew he was legit and bought $850 of the supplements that "cured" his wife. It never occurred to me that it was AI until I got off line and went searching for the Quiet Nerves website (one page). I'm disputing it with my bank for fraud. And QN is now offering me a 50% refund. This came in my email yesterday.
"The New York Times found hundreds of A.I.-generated doctors, healers and wellness influencers on social media touting the health benefits of supplements to American consumers. Many of these hyperrealistic looking ads promise medical miracles, and appear to be targeting older women, while making misleading health claims for a profit."

1 ReactionWhat disturbs me is why Oxaliplatin is used first before FOLFIRI. From my reading, both are equally good at treating the CRC, but FOLFIRI has no Neuropathy side effects.
@mikead63 I automatically do a search for any scam alerts online.
