Has EC Been Hacked?

Jernye (Lakeside, Ca) on 09/01/2026

I am a senior female in S. Ca. and I can't find a way to contact EC to find out if they are hacked. So hoping they will see this and take action. No matter what I look at on this site, I keep getting message/banners ....that say....DOWNLOAD What is this about. I've received lots of great help from this site over the years, but now I'm not sure if I can believe anything I read on here as I'm not sure if the site is hacked....can anyone help me on this?
EC: Hello, Earth Clinic has not been hacked. The “DOWNLOAD” banners you are seeing appear to be deceptive advertisements being delivered through Google AdSense, our outside advertising provider. We do not create, select, or endorse these ads, and you should not click the Download button. We are actively trying to identify and block the advertiser. Because advertisements can vary according to a reader's location and device, we may not see the same ad ourselves.

If unwanted ads continue to appear, you may wish to use a browser with built-in ad and tracker blocking, such as the free Brave browser. This can reduce deceptive advertisements across many websites.

The editorial information and reader contributions on Earth Clinic have not been altered by these advertisements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
