Sitting here laughing. A “Health Secrets” newspaper in the mailbox. There’s no way out. The newspaper’s website is an online drugstore. Meaning, the newspaper is just an advertisement. But it targets “grandmas” and looks like a newspaper. No mention that it’s just a flyer, though.

The article – “Student prodigy studying rays made a discovery that allows the restoration of joints.” The student, Alla Karavaeva, doesn’t show up in Google searches. The hall of the International Rheumatology Conference gave her a standing ovation. She received the prestigious “Young Scientist 2021” award for this discovery. How? Her grandfather was suffering from arthritis, and she told herself “Alla, you must help your grandfather, no matter the cost!” And off she went to make her discovery. And released drugs! And they worked! Elixir “Fleximax” and the herbal patch “Shigao Hubu.” “Why implant artificial joints when you can grow your own?” asks Alla’s curator, rheumatologist Demtsov (also unsearchable). The girl – a true patriot, insisted that the drugs be affordable for every pensioner.

Now, pay attention to the composition: sorbitol syrup, concentrated apricot juice, drinking water, white willow bark extract, calcium citrate, burdock extract, lingonberry leaf extract, boswellia extract, saber herb extract, potassium sorbate (E201), turmeric extract, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate (E211), vitamin D3. “Fleximax” is registered as “Non-alcoholic drink sweetened, enriched with calcium and vitamin D3” by LLC “Scientific and Production Enterprise ‘Laboratory of Beauty and Health'” from Protvino.

“Shigao Hubu” is entirely in hieroglyphs. Translates to “Tiger Step Patch.”

User reviews are written following such a pattern: “my boy fell, covered in blood, and it triggered my arthritis and arthrosis,” (Larionova Oxana, Kazan). Or “I jumped up with my gout to defend a 5-year-old boy from his father, and he hit me so hard that my osteochondrosis stiffened,” (Lozovaya Zhanna). Or “daughter’s leg got torn off, and I developed a spinal hernia and arthrosis,” (Yudlashin A). Then they went through the course and found happiness.
