Miracet

[Rocketpunk]

mods, sorry if this is in the wrong subforum.

So, about two minutes ago, I was listening to an Internet radio station and they played a commercial for "Miracet". I immediately googled it and this is what I got:

http://www.miracet.com/

http://getmi.racet.com/

http://getmira.cet.com/what-is-miracet.html

It's a nasal spray with "herbs and homeopathic ingredients" used to quell cravings for nicotine and suppress the urge to smoke.

Hah! In the commercial, it said it was FDA approved.

Alternative medicine and homeopathy... Reminds me of the Cherokee Hair Tampon episode of South Park.

 

[Baditude]

If it is true that the FDA actually approved this crap, then we vapors should have nothing to worry about from the FDA deeming regulations.




Ummm, rrriiiiight!

 

[Rocketpunk]

They flat-out lied in the commercial.

Man, I wish there could've been some way for me to record the commercial. Maybe some other ECF member will hear it, too?

I put the print in bold.

For children under 12?! ...?

>>What ingredients are used in Miracet?

>>Wolfsbane (Aconitum napellus) is another important ingredient of Miracet

Aconitum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
>>Poisoning may also occur following picking the leaves without wearing gloves

SO SPRAY IT UP YOUR NOSE INSTEAD.

[Orobas]

Essentially they want you to spray a bunch of well known poisons up your nose.

You'll be too busy dying from your liver and kidneys dissolving to care about smoking.

 

[Rocketpunk]

I cannot believe these things pop up and people are actually duped into buying them. Where is the FDA when it comes to these? But nooo, electronic cigarettes actually WORK for people. So... target them, instead.

/facepalm.

It would probably be a good idea to break the links to the product so as not to give it any ECF credibility.

 

[cherrycakes]

Strychnos has not been proven effective for the treatment of any illness. Since the seeds contain strychnine poison, conventional doctors do not recommend it as a medicine. It is on the Commission E list of unapproved herbs because it is not recommended for use and has not been proven to be safe or effective. There is also no clinical trial evidence of Strychnos supporting it being a viable cancer treatment.


The seeds contain approximately 1.5% strychnine, and the dried blossoms contain 1.0%.

Arsenic triiodide

As "Donovan's solution" it was said to treat many diseases which it did not treat.

Man, that stuff sounds like pure unadulterated CRAP. Sounds way worse than smoking cigarettes. Cigs gotta be safer than that.
