Hemorrhoids Scams

Hemorrhoids Scams

"Frozen Cryogenic Devices"

That's mumbo jumbo for a round piece of plastic that is to be placed in your freezer, then inserted into the inflicted area, removed, cleaned and placed back in the freezer.

The absurdity aside, doctors commonly recommend a hot application such as a hot bath to relieve hemorrhoidal pain and swelling. Cold application is not only contrary to medical opinion...

It is painful, messy, unhygienic,
and the acclaimed hemorrhoid relief is temporary at best.

We highly recommend avoiding the 'frozen cryogenic devices' selling for $59 (for two - "One may not be enough." Why?). They certainly are no 'cure' as advertised.

Over-Priced "Pure Natural Oils"

Garbage! More Internet hype - In the summer of 2001, two sites in top search engine results for terms related to 'hemorrhoids' were selling their snake oil for $8.95 per bottle plus shipping. The cost of appearing in search engine results has gone up and so has the product price - by some 300%! Same product!

There is no proof that these alleged 'miracle oils' are any more effective in temporarily relieving hemorrhoid symptoms than a $2 2-oz. tube of Hydrocortisone or Diphenhydramine cream - proven over-the-counter anti-inflammatory treatments available at local drug stores.
