Subj: Morning walker

Dear sir,

Perhaps you’re aware a gadget called Morning Walker has been selling in the market for a long time. It’s claimed to be a health gadget which is capable of curing host of diseases and to this effects ads are also slapped in leading dailies and magazines in a big way. What you need to do is to rest your legs on its vibrator in lying posture and this vibration will act as cure-all. You’ve not to take the hassles of doing morning walk unnecessarily, sponsors or manufacturers of the of the gadget so claim. What’s perhaps most shocking and surprising too, they also claim good effect of the machine has been satisfactorily tried on as many as 4000 patients by AIIMS. Do you endorse their claim? If not, why don’t you please communicate your views to people through media and disown what they claim as the matter involves public health? The gadget is supposed to do more harm than good. Incidentally, the machine cost as much as Rs.7000.0

The matter is brought to your notice in public interest. Please do the needful. Thank you.
Yours trully,
Dr.Ujjal.K.Pal.

Dear Dr. Pal,





We acknowledge having receipt of your email dt. 16th June, 2010. We wish to inform you in propriety that Indian Medical Association (Headquarters) has not endorsed any of the products of M/s. Spaceage Healthcare including Morning Walker. Any such alleged false claim has always been disputed by IMA HQs by way of sending legal notices. The recent publication which has been sent by you was not within our knowledge. But since you have pointed out the same, a notice has alredy been sent to M/s. Spaceage Health Care to restrain them from claiming any alleged endorsement by IMA HQs or any of its state branches. In any case, none of the state branches are authorized or entitled to endorse without following the procedure and informing the National Body which itself also ensures the procedure to be followed so that no incorrect statement is to be made to mislead the public at large.



This is for your information & record.



With kind regards,



Yours sincerely,
