It is according to a Utah Medical Association official who warns of quackery "The thing advertisers don't tell you is that if such a pill really worked daily users would become extremely malnourished because their bodies wouldn't absorb the nutrients they need" said Dr Paul M Clayton a Sandy anesthesiologist and chairman of the association's Unproven Health Practices Committee The committee was formed by mainstream health-carpractitioners to protect the public from experimental health-carpractices Committee members have examined everything from magical treatments for chronic candidiasis (a fungus found in warm moist areas of the body) to an electrodiagnostic device that not only identifies allergies but prescribes medications to treat them "It would be wonderful if we could come up with something that would really do that But as we investigated the device it was found to be experimental" Dr Clayton said That doesn't stop people from buying it or other unproven products Health fraud is big business that's sprouting up everywhere in America "Quack promoters have learned to stay one step ahead of the laws either by moving from state to state or by changing their corporate names" said Pat Kuntze representative for the federal Food and Drug Ae e dministration "As an agency "A desire for a cure without having to go through a lot of trouble leads treatpeople to alternate health-carments There are a lot of diseases out we M t t i t 1 I i ' 1 1I 2 - there that medicine just doesn't understand or doesn't have a cure for" —Dr Paul l t t 1 1 ! i Clayton t '- I I i tk - But health fraud is bigger than any one organization can deal with" Medical World News estimates that Americans spend about $27 billion a year on quack products or treatments And the FDA estimates that 38 million Americans have used a fraudulent health product within the past year It's easy to understand why "A desire for a cure without having to go through a lot of trouble leads people to altreatments There are a ternate health-carlot of diseases out there that medicine just doesn't understand or doesn't have a cure for" Dr Clayton said "We are the first to admit that we understand only a fraction of how this marvelous body works and interacts with our environment But when dealing with patients we are concerned that things we prescribe first be safe and second effective" Many unproven products are not without risk According to an FDA survey 1 out of 10 people trying quack remedies is harmed by side effects So how can you tell if a product is potentially fraudulent? Dr Clayton advises looking for these red flags: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is "If there were miracle cures out there most mainstream doctors would be anxious to get them out to their patients" he said If the advertisement includes an attack against the medical community such as i i ! i N I t I ' - — — i t I i ' t t I i' i 1 I t e t t - r t $ tt - 1 x i l''' - " - 4 4 - - - - - -- ' - - A np 1 - ''‘ ' NO A 5 1 t c Ii I : Come April 15 you may owe money to the state of Utah But today the state may owe you money And you can collect (get this) without filling out all those forms the tax folks request All you have to do is prove the money is yours If you don't think this story is about you you might want to keep reading There are 73000 names — and $22 million — on the state's unclaimed funds list said Ed Alter state treasurer Names are added to the list every time unclaimed cash is reported to the state: uncashed checks forgotten bank accounts safety deposit boxes of deceased relatives utility deposits and unclaimed benefits "You would be amazed at how many It happens by accipeople lose money dent to perfectly normal people The beauty of the system is that we have a way to preserve their interests" Mr Alter said "We try to find these people and the easiest way to do it is run a list in the newspaper" he said And this is the right newspaper Today of The Salt Lake starting on Page Tribune you'll find the entire list of people who have abandoned money or property Turn the page It might be the richest 15 minutes you've ever spent D-- 7 i 4'4 Big Bucks Await Anyone on List 1 a - I 1 i A I f 6 ?:' - d t te i ' ' k I See D2 Column 6 concentrate on the most dangerous abuses t 1 t r 1 I I I 1 1 ' ar I ' V" l le r t IL— rIl Ii ''' — ' ' 1 -- Jeff AllredThe Salt Lake Tribune Happy Presidents Day Mr President y at West Jordan's Oquirrh Elementary pose for a videotape to send as a Presidents Day gift to President Bush The kids hope to receive a gift in returm a promise from Mr Bush to put education at the forefront of his domestic Fourth-grader- s ' It i The Hope of America" was also sent to the Legislature agenda "Kids I i Masons Use Service Respect to Build Friendships i By I Peter Scarlet THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE I ' I ' 1 I a t i: 1 i 1 e g t : Steve Gel Itirahe Salt Lake Tribune James Wadley left and Bob Hartman In the Moorish Room of the Masonic temple Masonry draws men from all walks of life but in the lodge they are equals "Masonry is interested in what you're made of not your wealth or community status" said James D Wadley the recently elected Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons of Utah "All are friends and brothers in the lodge" he said Masonry's community contributions drew Bob Hartman chairman of the Utah Grand Lodge's public relations committee "Masonry gives me the opportunity to change myself my community and the world for the better" Masonry has long been active in Utah The state's grand lodge was chartered in 1872 The Masonic Temple at 650 E South Temple is a local landmark Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children is operated by the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine a Masonic organization "America's Masons there are more than 34 million of them donate $25 million daily to aid their communities ranging from medical research to school scholarships and aid to the needy" said Mr Wadley Utah's 3297 Masons in 31 lodges are embarking on a program to help needy high school students The money is not for scholarships said Mr Wadley but to do things like pay activity or test fees The idea is to take care of some of the routine financial costs that may lead students to quit school Other Masonic organizations called appendant bodies include Order of the Eastern Star for men and women Shriners for men Daughters of the Nile for women Job's Daughters and Order of DeMolay for youths When someone first joins the organization — members are never recruited but he joins a Blue join of their own accord Lodge where he earns his first three degrees Once he has earned the third degree and becomes a Master Mason the member can join the York or Scottish rites or both If he joins the Scottish Rite he can nen up to 29 additional degrees while in the York Rite patterned after medieval crusading orders he can earn 12 degrees concluding with Knight Templar "If you're in the York Rite you'll never be called a 32nd degree Mason but a low-inco- quasi-religio- i ¶cr'--- t -- - e that prevents absorption of food hits the I FOOTNOTE: Circulating in "It was then we felt the snow beneath us settle That triggered the avalanche above us The ground only dropped a fraction of an inch but the shock waves triggered the avalanche You could hear a 'womp!'
