Indeed it's like when people try to use the 'easiest', 'fastest' methods to lose weight like 'diet pills' instead of doing it like it actually works (diet and exercise). You are right and people shouldn't look for the easy way out, but I also think this kind of practices have to be regulated and AT LEAST the government should step up and obligate them to put warnings on the bottles saying that it hasn't been proven to work or that they do not posses any real medication.
