Are health products a cover for liars?
I have handled more than 100 such cases since I worked as an inspector in the Food and Drug Administration. Yesterday, two old gentlemen and an old lady came to my office to complain about buying propolis (yes, propolis, which is quite popular recently, many old ladies have been fooled, and the old people at home have paid attention to it), and one person spent more than 10 thousand. The three old people dressed up as ordinary farmers. An old man said that his monthly pension is tens of dollars and he has almost no income. More than 10 thousand people don't know how long it took, but he began to cry. I hate my roots itch, so I'm going to bring all those liars to justice. But I can't. Why? I will speak slowly.

Post a message I wrote some time ago first. It might be helpful for everyone to have a look.

I believe everyone understands that health food is not a medicine at all and has no therapeutic function. Those health products, such as propolis (say propolis, the boss of propolis has the courage to chop me to death! ), the product packaging has the batch number, the police mobile unit and the manufacturer have the production date. It is a legal health food. There is nothing we can do about normal sales. We can sell whatever we want, even if the broken pills are worth ten dollars, we can't help it. In the market economy, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. But, but, where is the problem, that is, exaggerating publicity!

Health care products have no therapeutic function, but will liars say so? Liars will blow their products to the sky and cure all diseases. Their deception is very clever, grasping the weakness of the old people's fear of death (looking for some medicine, there is no disease or disaster) and fooling them into dying. They have studied the psychological characteristics of the elderly too thoroughly and seized these weaknesses to brainwash them. I think there are four main points:

First, loneliness

China has already entered an aging society. According to statistics, nearly 50% of the elderly in China are living alone. The elderly lack care, children go out to work more, and spend less time with the elderly. People are social animals, feel safe in the crowd and like to be with other elderly people. In addition, most elderly people are no longer engaged in social activities, and are prone to illness and neglect the care of their children. They are more concerned about health than the average person and are willing to pay more money, time and energy. As long as it is good for your health, you are willing to buy more expensive health care products. Unscrupulous merchants just see the psychological needs of the elderly who need to talk to others and need to be accompanied, organize various activities, invest a lot of emotions, and let the elderly fall into the trap and voluntarily buy various health care products.

We received a report at that time and came to this company located on the second floor of a bazaar warehouse. We were stopped when we entered the door. Just like a party. Old ladies usually look shy. They sang one after another. That's right, it's not a liar singing on it, it's an old man and an old lady singing on it (it's been fooled and lame)! The swindlers turned their lair into an elderly club. The old man and the old woman are very willing to go, laughing. Here, they really found a sense of belonging, warmer than home. A liar is closer than his son, who only wants to spend Lao Zi's money, so a liar cares about Lao Zi's health. what am I supposed to do? Take a liar as my adopted son. It's no exaggeration at all. Really, more than 0/00 old people who sell propolis in the store have recognized a liar as their adopted son.

Second, greedy for petty gain.

These swindlers are really calculating, and they have grasped the psychology that the elderly love to take advantage of small things. They give lectures, give Chairman Mao a badge, a piece of hanging paper, a comb and so on, all of which are worthless things. Once we received a report that someone was doing this kind of publicity in a factory in a town. When we arrived, we found a truck parked in front of the factory building. We thought it was a truckload of health products, but it turned out to be a truckload of dried noodles.

I can't bear to let my children associate with wolves. I also said that the liar in the propolis shop, after recognizing hundreds of fathers, told them that you gave your son a red envelope. Ten dollars is not too little, nor is a thousand. Then send a red envelope, let the old people put the money in, write down their names, and then give it to him and get it instantly! Wait, you think this is over? That's too underestimate the liar. Liars nowadays are not that simple. After receiving these red envelopes, the swindler took the old man on the bus and went to a temple. When they got there, they offered incense to the old people for free and asked for a string of beads to wish their father a long life. The old people were moved, and the box was not finished. And guess what? The swindler returned the hundred red envelopes to the old man. Not only has the original money not been moved, but also 100 USD has been added to each card! Now the old people are completely moved, and adopting a son is not for money! Really for our health!

Third, save face.

All the people in the club are neighbors. Uncle Zhang bought it. Can I not buy it? Listening to other people's classes for nothing? Besides, my adopted son is so kind to me. What's wrong with buying him something?

Fourth, fear of death.

The older you get, the more scared you get. Besides, Loongson is also for my health, so I must buy it. My adopted son is right. I can't take my money with me when I die. Why leave it to my heartless son? He doesn't care whether I live or die, and he doesn't know where people are every day. He is as good to me as his adopted son is with me every day. Godson is really for my health, buy it!

Then talk about what we are doing. The US Food and Drug Administration, whose full name is the US Food and Drug Administration, is in charge of "four products and one machine", including food, medicine, health care products and cosmetics, and one machine is a medical device. We should be careful of these deceptive health products. I can't wait to bring all the swindlers to justice when I see that the pension money that poor old people are usually unwilling to spend is cheated away by swindlers! However, it is difficult. Why?

1, the law cannot keep up. The current management measures for health food were promulgated in 1996. It has been 20 years and has not been updated. The law is not perfect.

2. It is difficult to obtain evidence. These swindlers are selling real healthy food. This propolis, the batch number of which belongs to the police mobile unit, is produced by a regular manufacturer, which is reasonable and legal. I can't help it, nor am I forced to buy it. Why should I punish you? But why should we call them liars? Just because they make false propaganda! Obviously it doesn't have that much effect. He said yes, so it won't work. However, we need evidence to punish. It's too difficult to get evidence. It is clearly printed on the propolis box that "this product is a health food with no therapeutic function and cannot be used as medicine." Please follow the doctor's advice. " Do you see it? We sell healthy food. We never said it could cure diseases! So I also want to advise my old friends to carefully look at what is written on the package when buying it, and whether it has such magical functions.

When we find such businesses in our daily inspections, or when we receive reports and complaints, we usually warn these businesses not to exaggerate their propaganda, and then check whether there is a food circulation license. If they have it, there's nothing they can do. People can sell it. No, I can't do much. As long as people don't sell it on the spot, they have to publicize it.

Here, I can only sincerely say to all my old friends and friends with old people at home, be sure, be sure, and don't listen to these liars. Not sick, exercise well, eat more vegetables and exercise more, don't trust this health care product. If you are sick, you must go to a regular hospital. Don't believe what these swindlers say, and don't listen to any remedies.

Speaking of folk remedies, let me say one more thing. Some friends have diseases of reproductive system and urinary system, so don't have any psychological pressure. Please go to a big hospital for treatment. Private hospitals run by Putian people in Fujian in other places are not reliable (there is no meaning of black Putian people, that is, hospitals run by black Putian people, which really pits many people). Killing you in minutes is not negotiable, let alone going to those small clinics. What is the secret recipe? Hehehehehe, let me show you what the secret recipe is:

This is a report. The informant said he was cheated. I asked what medicine I bought, but I was embarrassed to say for a long time. Finally, I said, Bushen Shengjing Pill. Later, we went to the clinic for examination. There is an observation room inside. It is dirty. As you can see, the labels of the medicine bottles are scattered all over the floor. There are nine kinds of medicine labels on the table, and the bottle contains a broken pill.

Sometimes I feel that these old people are really pitiful and exasperating. After being fooled, no one can convince them, neither can we, nor can their son. I just feel that my son is unwilling to let them spend money and doesn't pay attention to their health. Just say that the bed seller has a room with several beds in it, and the old man is lying on it. He thinks it can be cured.

Whoever lies on it for free for a while seems to be happy. Just as we were checking, an old gentleman came in and asked, "Is there a bed for me to sleep in?" My son followed, and the old man was so anxious that he bought a bed and let me sleep for free. The angry old man wanted to hit his son.

So, how can we convince the elderly? I think we really don't study the psychology of the elderly as thoroughly as other swindlers. Then, we will learn from the experience of swindlers and do the opposite:

1, spend more time with the elderly. If you have nothing to do, go home and spend more time with the elderly. Encourage the elderly to develop healthy hobbies so that they are not so lonely.

2, buy some really useful supplements, healthy food for the elderly, but also show concern. If conditions permit, it is best to take the elderly to a regular hospital for physical examination. Only in this way can they be truly responsible for the elderly, and they can rest assured that they are no longer so "afraid of death".

3. Guide the elderly correctly. Tell the old people in your family that the so-called authoritative experts cannot be trusted, and don't be superstitious about the so-called "authority". Try not to attend health talks organized by health care products manufacturers. When you encounter deception and encouragement from others, you'd better find an excuse like "you can't be the master yourself".

If you can really study the psychology of the elderly like a liar, maybe it will be better to coax them with you. Please forgive my poor answer.
