Re: Dr. Flanagans Mega Hydrate(That is sold for $40 per 60 x 250mg caps) Is Just a Widely Availible Comercial Ingredient In the Manufacture of Ink That Costs Around $25 Per Kilogram?
I'm curious to find out what you have to say about the Australian government's posting concerning Megahydrate? 'Vitality Plus Australia' was ordered to post this retraction on their website for 120 days. It appears to be that V.P.A. was only repeating what P. Flanagan says about Megahydrate in his videos. What is the truth of the matter? Is the Australian government wrong in doing this, or is P. Flanagan exaggerating what Megahydrate is supposed to do?
"RETRACTION
An advertisement for the product Megahydrate, which we published on this website, was misleading and abused the trust of consumers. We should not have published it.
In the advertisement we unlawfully made claims that the product could affect blood cells, reduce waste "trapped" between blood cells, act as "life water", aid longevity and heart health, cause 'healthy active lives past the age of 100 years, 'alkalise the human body, and treat cancer. We also unlawfully claimed that Megahydrate includes negative hydrogen ions within so-called 'micro-clusters' and that these ions have a positive influence on human health. We implied that claims about the Megahydrate were supported by scientific research.
A complaint about the advertisement was upheld by the Complaints Resolution Panel. We provided no evidence to support the claims we made, and the Panel found that the claims were unlawful, misleading, and unverified and breached the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.
Following receipt of the Panel's recommendation, the delegate of the Secretary for Health considered the information before her and decided to order that Vitality Plus Australia Pty Ltd to publish this retraction."
