Say: Quackery refers to the illegal and fraudulent practice of medicine by a person pretending to have
medical knowledge and experience. It is the pretentious and deceptive form of medical practice based on non-scientific, non-
medical studies, and experience. A person who practices medical quackery is a quack doctor or a charlatan, someone fraud.
The following are some identifiable characteristics of a quack doctor:
1. Promises a quick and painless cure for all medical and health conditions
2. Claims ingredients came from secret sources, from holy and hard-to-reach places
3. Uses testimonials or stories of people who were healed
4. Performs health services disregarding medical and health sanitation concerns
5. Displays and announces their product in busy locations such as markets and streets to attract
unsuspecting customers
6. Contests medical studies as useless, baseless, and expensive
Health Effects of Using Quack Medicine:

2. The condition of the sick person is prolonged or worsened.
3. Complications may arise, which may lead to paralysis and death.
