Several months ago I subscribed to a new health newsletter for two reasons; one, this doctor seemed different than the others, and two, I'm stupid. Suddenly I'm getting junk mail from every doctor who has the “Unknown Cures” for everything...and I can have access to all of them in the “Free Reports” I'll receive if I subscribe to his newsletter. Apparently selling a mailing list is another money making opportunity for some author/healers.
The latest received offers “Free Report #6” entitled, What to Do if You Have Prostate Cancer.
It is pointed out, one American man dies of prostate cancer every 15 minutes...more than 40,000 each year. The reader is then teased about a new highly effective treatment available that has no side effects (other than 5% who report brief feelings of nausea). Thousands of successful procedures have been performed, many insurance plans cover it, and you can have a list of the hospitals providing it...........IF you subscribe.
I don't have a clue, or even a WAG, as to the nature of the treatment, but I do have brief feelings of nausea every time I read a sales piece like this. If you know something available that could be of benefit, but hold it hostage...I've got a great suggestion for what you can do with your newsletter.
Have a great weekend. Hug your family, get outside and play, have a glass of wine (or two).
