If The Injections Does Not Boost My Vitality Or Increase My Energy Level Then What Actions Can I Take Under The Sale Of Goods Act?

[verbatim101]

Let's say I visited a naturopathic doctor and he advised me to get herbal injections to boost my vitality and give me energy. If the injections does not boost my vitality or increase my energy level then what actions can I take under the sale of goods act? Can I sue or demand a refund?

You might be better off eating a banana. Then youwon't have to concern yourself about possible litigation.

Go and see your regular Dr- if there is something wrong with you he will treat it. If you insist in seeing a 'Naturopathic Dr' you have to accept that what he suggests may or may not work for you.

A few problems for you that I can see.

How does one measure vitality and energy levels?

Even if these could be measured, then what were the "units" BEFORE onset of injections compared to the levels AFTER the injections?

I feel that you are on a loser here.

i'm with squad here......the things you are complaining of are subjective terms and that means there is no way of proving it. serves you right for being a sucker and seeing a quack.....learn from it and don't do it again!

The sellers of vitamins, additives, ( etc) are very careful not to make any claims on their packaging or advertisements. They say "people buy these to improve their energy levels", " folk use these to reduce their cholesterol",
" buyers of this product rave about how their joints feel so much better". It all sounds good, but there is no claim whatsoever that you could rely on in court. Go into a health food store and read a few labels. There will not be a single claim of efficacy among the lot of them.
You can only consider taking action against the "doctor" if you were promised in writing that you would certainly benefit from some treatment and you didn't.
