ACU Seeds

The cure for M.E. has been found, according to a Dragon’s Den episode aired: 

Giselle Boxer, founder of Acu Seeds, said in her pitch that she was diagnosed with M.E. by using Acu Seeds. Her pitch ended with an impressive response and Dragon’s investing. So what’s the problem? 

Well for one, there isn’t an official cure M.E. which stands for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Patients are often dismissed as people with psychological stress. We support the statements made by M.E. Association regarding the concerns: 

“These sort of expensive commercial products and devices should not be promoted to very vulnerable sick people until they have been properly assessed for safety and efficacy in clinical trials – in exactly the same way that drug treatments are.” 

We would like the media to be more responsible with their reporting and portrayal of invisible illnesses. The BBC have now added a disclaimer to the episode.
