Question 382 of 433
What are the red flags of a bad clinic?
The short answer
Guarantees, secrecy, unexplained testing, and pressure to buy. Selling a service is a conflict to examine, not proof of misconduct.
Promises to “reverse aging” by a specific number of years.
Treatments described as secret, proprietary, or suppressed by mainstream medicine.
Testimonials in place of studies.
Supplements, peptides, or pellets sold by the prescriber.
Enormous test panels with no explanation of what each result will change.
Stem cells, exosomes, or young plasma for “anti-aging.”
Pressure to prepay for packages.
No interest in your blood pressure.
