Today they use the Internet and the Federal Trade Commission is cracking down. The FTC is concerned about "health" sites on the Web that prey on people's illnesses to make a profit. FTC investigators try to make companies prove the claims made on their sites. As a result, some sites close down and others revise their claims. But the FTC doesn't have the staff to patrol the Net the way it would like. Enter the public. Private citizens are creating sites like Quackwatch to warn people about health quacks online.
