Learn More» Are Bicycles Allowed on Sidewalks? In Florida, bicycles are permitted on sidewalks; however, cyclists must yield to pedestrians. Adult cyclists may prefer to utilize the bike lane in the roadway, which is preferred especially for training enthusiasts; however, children are encouraged to ride their bikes on sidewalks, as opposed to using the bike lane. Be sure to know the rules of road (and teach your children bike safety before they are out on their own). The Broward Sheriff’s Office hosts several bike safety programs in the parks and at Weston’s schools to educate children on basic bike and pedestrian safety rules.   Read More » Don't Be Caught Underwater.

Fearless honesty."  -- Terence Blanchard Daversa’s 2018 release, American Dreamers: Voices of Hope, Music of Freedom, won three Grammy awards.

Si no te acuerdas de nada de lo que escribimos en este artículo de blog, recuerda esto: los vendedores que andan pregonando curas deben contar con una evidencia científica que fundamente sus declaraciones. Cuando ellos no toman estas medidas, la FTC las toma.

El caso en cuestión: La FTC alega que Quantum Wellness Botanical Institute, LLC, su director ejecutivo, Fred Auzene, y la ex encargada de marketing, Maria Gutierrez Veloso, anunciaron engañosamente el producto ReJuvenation, como una maravillosa píldora anti-edad. En los anuncios se prometía que la píldora ReJuvenation sería efectiva para revertir el proceso de envejecimiento, reparar el daño corporal y tratar las enfermedades por medio de la estimulación de la producción de la hormona de crecimiento humano (HGH) y células madre. Los demandados declararon audazmente que ReJuvenation podría revertir o reparar el daño por ataque cardíaco, enfermedades del corazón, ceguera, daño cerebral causado por un accidente cerebro vascular, enfermedad de Alzheimer, Parkinson, sordera, enfermedad de Crohn y los daños en los órganos, tejidos y articulaciones del cuerpo relacionados con la edad.

Según la FTC, los demandados trabajaron arduamente para convencer a la gente para que comprara las píldoras ReJuvenation, que cuestan entre $39.95 y $49.95, más los costos de despacho y envío, para un suministro de un mes.

En una propuesta de acuerdo resolutorio anunciada hoy, la FTC señala que estas declaraciones eran falsas o equívocas, y que los vendedores no tenían las evidencias científicas confiables para fundamentarlas.

Los términos de las órdenes judiciales federales propuestas les exigirían a los demandados que realicen pruebas clínicas en seres humanos para fundamentar futuras declaraciones relacionadas con el tratamiento de cualquier enfermedad o afección de la salud. Las sentencias monetarias totalizan $3.4 millones de dólares, cifra que representa el monto que la gente pagó por las píldoras ReJuvenation. Después de que los demandados entreguen $660,000, ese dinero será reintegrado a los clientes que compraron el producto ReJuvenation. El resto del monto de la sentencia quedará suspendido debido a la incapacidad de pago de los demandados.

Desconfía de los anuncios que prometen resultados milagrosos o curas para muchos problemas de salud. Antes de comprar – o tomar – este tipo de producto, habla con un profesional de atención médica para estar seguro de que sea apropiado para ti.
