I will appeal to the masses here for help cause sometimes you feel like the critic swimming upstream. Recently we had a person of very little training open up their "healing centre" in our community offering turbosonic vibrating platforms to fix all that ails you and low level laser to fix the rest. As a quirk in Canada these untrained people are governed by no laws.
As we all know this will fix very little except for the heavy wallets of our senior population. My question is how do you deal with the questions about these devices/people from the public without sounding like the heavyhanded critic?
People need to know the scam that these are but when you come off too heavy you start to sound like you are validating them. Any thoughts/

For the turbosonic vibrating platforms... begin your response with a twinkle in your eyes and a grin on your face and ask, " Do you think dentures would stay in with that?" Then, honestly tell the patient that the specific parameters of the device need to be known to determine if any risk could occur. The frequency of the soundwaves, the magnitude of the vibration and the duration on the thing will all be factors that can potentially determine whether something harmful could actually occur.
For the low-level laser... agree that light forces sound great and all, but apparently over in the United States, the federal health care plan (Medicare) does not pay for the use of low-level laser because there is not enough good, substantial data to support its effectiveness for all the aches and pains it has been claimed to help eliminate or reduce.
