Miracle cure TV promoter just the public face of a chain of cheats

A WOMAN who falsely claimed to be a medical expert has disappeared after the TV advertisements in which she appeared extolling the efficacy of various medical products were banned. Southern Metropolis Daily comments:

It should be emphasized that the woman has broken the Advertisement Law by falsely claiming in advertisements broadcast by various provincial TV broadcasters to be a medical specialist affiliated with well-known hospitals around the country. Worse, her fraudulent promotions could pose a health risk to patients. For instance, she boasted that diabetes patients could give up controlling their food as long as they took a particular medicine she was promoting. (The main ingredient in her products was found to be cornstarch).

However, she is not the only person responsible for the false advertisements. According to the new Advertisement Law, amended in 2015, the medical companies whose products she promoted, the advertising companies that hired her, as well as the TV stations should all be held accountable.
