This article titled Doctors prohibited from endorsing healthcare products states that in Manila, Philippines starting next month, doctors will no longer be allowed to endorse or try to sell any personal care products or food supplemtnts. This will include no personal hygiene products, food supplements such as vitamins, medicines to help blood circulation or any other suppliment. The Philippine Medical Association (PMA) has revised its Code of Ethics to prohibit this probelm. This problem was recently addressed becuase of the growing number of doctors who were endorsing and promoting supplements that had no effects. It is wrong for doctors to endorse and try to sell products becuase what they say can GREATLY affect society! After all, they are doctors, and the people we seek for answers. Doctors and proffesionals are the people we trust who should not be trying to make a few extra dollars off of poor innocent people.

I agree with you; doctors should not be able to promote supplements or anything else close. We as patients look up to doctors and respect their opinions and it is not right for them to give us a false or arbitrary opinion so they can gain money.
