RETRACTION

An advertisement for the Avatar product, which we published on this website, should not have been published.

In the advertisement we unlawfully made claims that the product was for therapeutic use, including use in diagnosis or treatment of serious conditions. The advertisement included claims that the advertised product could aid in determining allergies or stress factors, and made reference to serious conditions such as diabetes and autoimmune disorders.

A complaint about the advertisement was recently upheld by the Complaints Resolution Panel. We provided no evidence to support the claims we made, and the Panel found that the claims were unlawful, misleading, and unverified and breached the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.

The Panel therefore requested that Best Health Centre publish this retraction.
