The health supplement/nutraceutical industry has grown to almost $40 billion a year. 65% of all Americans regularly take one or more products. This is despite the lack of science regarding efficacy, the absence of strict manufacturing standards, or oversight about safety, side effects, and benefits. We examine the beginnings of today’s industry, the underlying science, marketing, dangers, and beliefs. Promotion of supplements is reminiscent of the old-time snake-oil salesman, with an overlay of pseudo-scientific techno-babble. We will explore the origins of our vulnerability to these health claims and our need for panaceas.

Every society and culture views the role of disease and medicine from different vantage points. This is not emphasized during medical training. At the extreme end you can be cured by merely crossing a national border, as what is regarded as normal in one country may be viewed as pathological in another. The presenter, with a lifetime of experience in international health initiatives in many countries will highlight some of the interesting differences, and how culture shapes personal views of health and medicine.
