6 or 7 steps to riches defrauding the health-conscious

Believe it or not, the process below is legal* and happens all the time.

1. Find a worthless plant. The weirder its name, the better. 
2. Extract and bottle something’er’nother from it. The worse it tastes, the better.
3. On the label, claim that it “supports” this and “boosts” that. 
4. In the tiniest, hardest-to-notice type possible, hide this disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
5. In large type, heavily imply that the product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
6. In your ads, suggest that THEY don’t want you to know about it.
7. (Optional) Start an MLM.
