A viral post on Threads claimed vaccines cause mercury toxicity, a long-debunked claim. The account that posted it, _@mommavspharma (Kaylee Marie/Kaylee Winfield/Kaylee Boynton)_ , has tens of thousands of followers and uses misleading health claims to promote unproven “detox” supplements, including parasite cleanses and heavy metal removers. In addition, reviews of the business raise concerns about payments made for products and services that were never delivered. At best, such products may be ineffective and cost you money. At worst, they can be downright dangerous or deter you from seeking proper medical treatment. *Remember:* * Unlike drugs, supplements and other “natural” products are not evaluated for safety and effectiveness, meaning they can’t claim to prevent or treat diseases. * “Natural” doesn’t mean safe or effective. These products can have side effects or dangerous interactions, just like drugs. Some may contain potentially harmful hidden ingredients. * Always search for the name of the product or the seller’s profile online, followed by words like “complaint,” “fraud,” or “scam” to uncover any potentially fraudulent activity.
