| Canada: Health Canada warns Canadians not to use unauthorized 'LifeGive' health products with misleading health claims |
| |
Health Canada is warning Canadians not to purchase or use ‘LifeGive’ health products to treat diseases such as cancer and dementia. These products are not authorized for sale in Canada. Health Canada believes ‘LifeGive’ health products have been or will be promoted by Hippocrates Health Institute at several events held at locations in Ontario this month.
Health Canada took action when it became aware of this issue to prevent any further advertising and sale of the products, including conducting an on-site visit at the location of one of the events being held in Ontario to confirm that ‘LifeGive’ health products were not being offered for sale.
‘LifeGive’ health products have not been reviewed by Health Canada for safety, quality or effectiveness. Health Canada is working with the Canada Border Services Agency to stop the importation of any shipments of ‘LifeGive’ health products from entering Canada. Should this company continue to sell unauthorized health products, Health Canada will take appropriate action.
Consumers should contact their health care professional if they have concerns about their health.
