Last year I demonstrated that many negative ion products are actually radioactive. Since then, my video prompted amazon to pull dozens of items from their store and at least 2 companies have shut down. This time we talk about that exciting update and some new, and even more radioactive quack products I found.

I love how the Nume patch claims "weight loss" as one of its benefits, like yeah, you're not even wrong, radiation poisoning and cancer would indeed make you lose weight.
To say nothing of how quickly the weight comes off once that post-mortem decomposition sets in.
@@SimuLord I'm a lil ashamed at how hard I snickered
it "burns" fat ..literally..anything under the patch will be destroyed on the cellular level so you'll lose some wieght,the eye mask seems like you'd get cancer of the eyes
@@Aaron-zu3xn Well, you'll be losing a lot more weight from shitting blood all day and not being able to keep food down. Since the tissues of the digestive tract are among the most sensitive to radiation (along with brain tissue and bone marrow), some of the very first symptoms of radiation poisoning are nausea, diarrhea, and with higher doses, gastrointestinal bleeding.

my dad spent a career in nuclear medicine treating cancer. You would think that because of this that he would not like fiestaware but I am sure I am the only person that has had the conversation "Why are we eating off of radioactive plates?" to get the response "They are only slightly radioactive".
As long as the glaze ain't chipped you should be fine with fiestawear, you don't eat dinner all day (sadly)
What? Fiestaware? Why would they even need to be radioactive (like vaseline glass that glows in the dark). Was it the soil they used for the clay ware?
@@getaround1276 and lord knows after 40 years of knives/forks on those plates they still look as perfect as day 1! Why wouldn't the glaze chip with a sharp knife? But as you said, only a little radio active - I am guessing your a nuclear medicine as well?
@@BlackSeranna The orange colour in the glaze is produced by uranium oxide.
He's right.
This absolutely SCARES me because my mom is a sucker for these types of “health products.” She has a bracelet adjacent to the “negative ion” thing and I don’t know whether it’s radioactive or not. I even wore one when I was in middle school. Hoping to GOD that it was just a sham that doesn’t do any harm but idk at this point.
Maybe get your hands on an inexpensive geiger counter and make a point of testing it in front of her so she knows.
Most people are not aware of everything regarding health and radiation but if they start hearing the sound of a geiger counter they get nervous and tend to listen more.
(totally possible that it's not radioactive though)
Looks like you can pick up a giger counter for 60-120 usd online. No idea of the accuracy of them but would be a fairly cheap test compared to cancer treatment
Well a geiger counter doesnt have to be fancy. If it has no reading on other things in the room and then starts ticking on the bracelet then you know

I literally remember the infomercials in the 90s that sold these things. They'd push you out of nowhere, you almost trip, then with the bracelet (and now being prepared) you don't move when they push you! Whoa!
I mean I guess they do work. If you're dead from radiation poisoning you won't have to worry about back ache or need for positive juju
No is getting cancer from this.
I remember TV reports of such silicone bracelets those only had a hologram sticker (may be named quantum energy or whatever) but they did not warn about radioactivity (did they test?) but only called them a useless superstition/placebo thing.
It's like a rite of passage as a Scientist and TH-cam Science Educator to be contacted by a nuclear regulatory body. Cheers; keep fighting the good fight.

AFAIK he hasn't said anything.
Other people’s videos: *Struggling to get advertised*
This guys video: *Shuts down 2 entire companies*
Bahroo pfp
It's because a lot of these regulatory services are there for people's safety but they need things to be done properly so they're always looking for things that they missed like these products, Amazon watches a lot of videos on products they sell, for example lock picking lawyer had a series of videos or you would review Amazon's choice for different locks and in at least one of the cases I know for a fact that the lock was immediately taken down from Amazon's choice
Turns out nuclear regulatory agencies take this sort of thing seriously.
*at least 2

This video is 2 years old, but it got me thinking about how in South-East Asia, in the past there were a lot of advertisements selling health products and clothing claiming it releases negative ions which is good for your health. My family was and still is an active consumers of these kind of products and I'm worried if we're secretly a nuclear family.
Order a Geiger counter and find out.
Nuclear family...was that pun intended? 😂
I love how a single man and his TH-cam channel did more to protect consumers than entire government agencies.
Makes you wonder what they even do all day that they didn't look for these products themselves.
government agencies exist to make money and nothing else. they dont care about us.
You know he's single and not married? HM?
Jk he did do a lot to protect people.
i mean. he litterally contacted government agencies to deal with it
these agencies should be empowered to give some reward to worthwhile submissions, like some sorta tax break or free parking for X months or something like that, maybe based on how significant the report is.
I feel for the poor employees that manufacture these products every day without potentially knowing what they are handling there.

Long answer: Watch face painters maintain their paint brushes with their lips, thus ingesting radium. They also used the stuff on themselves when they go out partying (at least according to a show I watched, Dark Matter I think). They all died of radiation poisoning.
So basically what you’re saying is I need to get my own geiger counter

Boss: Yeah send it
5:45 To put it in reference, the radiation emitted by that card is equal to standing right next to the *Chernobyl* sarcophagus. The OLD sarcophagus built originally in 1986, not the new one built in 2016. Carrying it for 8hrs/day equates to 15.3sv/year. That's 15 times the maximum recommended yearly dosage of radiation.
@@bimpa1568 Thorium is a proposed alternative to enriched uranium, not uranium as whole. A thorium based reactor still uses the nuclear decay process to turn thorium into uranium, albeit bypassing the enrichment process.
But at the end of the day it's still fissile uranium 235 that is maintaining the nuclear reaction that is generating power.
It isn't. The majority of what was detected from the card was beta radiation (gamma only dose rate was probably ~2uSv/h). I think you meant 15mSv, and not Sv, but regardless, holding the item in your hand would NOT expose you to an annual dose that high, since only your hand is being exposed, and not the rest of your body. Hence the effective dose from holding the item is almost nothing (about the same as background). Saying that it's the same as standing next to the sarcophagus is far from true
You're off by an order of magnitude. The Geigercounter is measuring Microsieverts (μSv), not millisieverts (mSv). If you wore it for 8 hours daily that's ~15 mSv per year. Which is actual a bit less then the reccomended max yearly exposure, which in many places is set to about 20 mSv. (Or well, 100 mSv over 5 years)
how did you come up with that math, that doesn't equate at all
Oof ,, that like even for someone like me, not scientifically inclined at all makes 0 sense
Being exposed to radiation is one of my irrational fears, this product feels so malicious and dangerous, slowly poisoning an unknowing person
I think that being afraid of exposure to radiation in such doses is in fact a very rational and healthy fear
the ridiculous part is that these companies could literally just sell a normal mask or bracelet or whatever, and let placebo do its job. there is literally zero reason to actively add radioactivity. /sigh
I think main purpose of that items is somehow get rid of thorium
@@grihaspoormachine Thorium can just be buried underground, thats where it came from lol.
I don't think that buring radioactive waste is good solution
@@grihaspoormachine there's a thorium reactor craze right now. They could be selling that stuff at a massive profit to real power plant companies.
this is a underrated point. absolutely no reason to put it in as it would only be detected by someone who knows its bullshit. it would also cost more to make it this way. fairly certain this is malicious intent. probably at the original factory, not the retailers in the US
the eye mask in particular was very scary, can you imagine having "eye issues" and then going to the eye doctor and him saying you have eye cancer or some other major eye ailment and your eyes are "irradiated" from thorium exposure and you'll probably go completely blind in a year or two because of it?
Radioactive underwear also ranks quite high on the "why?" list.
There is also the possibility that you become Superman!
also since like you know, the brain is real close and that lil curtain of bone behind your eyes doesn’t protect very well.
Worse. It goes into your SKULL. Into your bones. Affecting your brain.
I have (had) zero science but I often prefer a black t-shirt over my eyes instead of an eye-mask. Never really thought company making that eye-mask is going to give zero (insert plural swear word here) about what they are making. Back to my well worn and well washed cotton t-shirts as an eye-mask.
oh my god I actually tried to research on these products cuz some family of mine started trying to sell these to everyone they knew claiming they helped you heal and stuff, they truly believe these cards help their health, didn’t know it’s actually killing them

Maybe it actually was emitting negative ions. Can't negative ions be emitted without radiation being detected by a geiger counter? Can't natural minerals like tourmaline do that? Not that it's going to do much to improve your health, but I don't think it would be fruad if they actually believed it.
@@Competitive_Antagonist negative ions aren't real. its pseudoscience. there are ions that are negative, like salt in water, but they don't help.
"They removed the radiation and that's great, but they just committed fraud because they are selling a product that doesn't release negative ions when they say it does" That line got me lmao
I mean, in all fairness, they weren't releasing negative ions in the first place, but (ironically enough) positive ones.
The better just would have sold mineral water...
Same
@@darthplagueis13 Unless the bracelet becomes charged as it irradiates, surely it releases either both or neither no?
I believe thorium starts off with releasing an alpha particle, so at some point there were negative ions in there. As for whether it's "released", if nothing else it sheds...
@@randomnobody660 mean it releases alpha particles(which are He ions), and beta particles(which are just electrons). So the charge is conserved, it's just really dubious to call beta particles ions(because they aren't even atoms)
I am horrified and I feel sick. My mother used to wear the nume thing that looks like a press pass around her neck and she died of breast cancer
Oh no...
I've actually seen countless people walking around with that dark circular shape object around their neck. Always thoughts it's probably some pseudo science health thingy, for it to actually emit radiation is totally crazy. Goes to show, don't simply trust whatever a person says when they are trying to sell you something.

I like that you mentioned, that intact pottery with uranium is safe. Where I live alot of buildings have parts containing asbestos, as they were built when it was still legal. In our house the windowsills contain asbestos, but as long as nobody tries to saw them or anything, there is no need be afraid, that's why we were allowed to keep them. The removal is probably more dangerous than just leaving them where they are.
Same for your pottery, it only got hazardous when it was broken into shards.
A lot of houses in the UK have 'popcorn ceilings', a style of room ceiling that often contains asbestos, but are rarely seen as any danger. The main danger of asbestos is where it's used for something subject to wear and tear. A windowsill, like a ceiling, is probably fine, but if it were the window frame itself not so much, seeing as opening/closing the window might be enough wear and tear to free asbestos dust that's actually dangerous.
Lots of that 'popcorn ceiling' texture crap in Canada too. Very popular in the '70s!
Curious what purpose asbestos has in a window sill? Part of a cement fibre board?
@@holysirsalad I think it's just part of the cement. The windowsill looks like a concrete slab. I'd assume the asbestos was just mixed in as durable and cheap component. Since I know they contain asbestos, I try not to touch them tho.
As a fellow Canadian i just want to say thank you for looking out for us all!

And getting contacted for being claimed as a potential safety risk from the information
@@remanjecarter2787 To be fair the level of information needed to complete a task is usually waaaay less than the level of information needed to complete it safely.

I once used an ion bracelet my parent bought when I was a kid. I tried liking it, placebo and all, but it left my skin red and itchy after just a few hours. Either I'm lucky I since that stopped me from using it or should be worried since I'm probably more sensitive to radiation. Oh well.
I once met a girl in my college with a laptop full of "anti-radiation" stickers, either it was a piece of plastic or....
It's probably not radiation causing that (even if the item is radioactive) because you'd need extremely levels of radiation to cause sunburn-like effects (beta radiation can do it). It's more likely that you have a chemical sensitivity to something in the bracelet - nickel allergy is a common problem that crops up with people who wear jewellery or watches. You did the right thing by stopping wearing it immediately and it's unlikely that you'd have any lasting effects from it, but keep an eye out just to be sure and maybe stash the bracelet away somewhere safe that nobody else is going to find it and wear it. That way if you did ever have any kind of problem and they wanted to test the bracelet then you've can still provide it.

Congrats on the first step of getting these quacks shut down!
The confusing thing here is why they added something that's not only poisonous, but _expensive_ to the products. Thorium powder doesn't exactly grow on trees. _Why._
It is a byproduct from some mines. There is not enough demand for Thorium to process all the Thorium Dioxide pulled out of the ground. So instead of storing it in an expensive specilized facility companies "lose" it down rivers or sell it off as unprocessed minerals.
My guess, they have Dr. McQuaken put these in a gas chamber to impress a captive audience and show how "powerful" the massaging wand is at curing your, issues.
It's probably a bonus that the fact that it does "something" means regulators would have to put in more leg work to sue them for fraud under UCC laws
Because this isn't just a scam. It's pseudo science that some people believe, enough to manufacture it.
Beta particles _are in fact_ negatively charged. I suspect truth met urban-myth and conceived this hocus-pocus.
Remember, most counties still believe the myth that Fluoride is good for dental hygiene and _some people_ think it "turns frickin frogs gay"... So.. yeah... Lot's of pseudoscience on all sides, even government.
It doesn't make sense does it. I was thinking it's some kind of nuclear smuggling operation. It might be hard for a terrorist organization or nation like North Korea to acquire thorium but anyone can get these products. Thorium can be used to make Uranium for bombs.

I thought the exact same. It's so bad, especially with how easy it is for small fibres to become airborne.
even with RF radiation we are instrutcted to ensure that the antennas emitting it have to be kept away from our eyes
@@llynaraf8057 That's for a different reason. RF radiation will cook you of you stand in the area of a powerful enough transmitter.

Found this video because of your Short featuring the NuMe badge. Now I’m gonna have to deep dive and binge all of your radiation videos. Very excited to have found this channel, thank you for this excellent video!
This is amazing. It must bring you real gratification that your video had this effect.
*When the only thing he owns that's more radioactive than the card thing is literally uranium*
That’s exactly why this shit is scary😂 I heard the Geiger counter literally start screaming next to the card and I knew that thing has been created in Chernobyl’s explosion!
“Health benefits” has been a very overused phrase. These things are far from healthy if they’re this Radioactive.
And that's only beta and gamma radiation produced as a secondary byproduct! Natural thorium isotopes are alpha emitters, and alpha radiation is blocked by the plastic of the counter, so it's actually missing most of the radiation.
@@GRBtutorials If you inhale or ingest that alpha radiation dust, not good.
@@GRBtutorials Agreed, which is why that pen that you could potentially break open and release loose dust was so freaky to me, you don't wanna breathe that in.
@@akshooter7746 The geiger counter "screams" when near uranium, but depends also of that uranium is enriched or not. The first case is the worst. But I am not sure what you mean by saying it was created in Chernobyl's explosion.
I love the quote from this video. “Radiation isn’t the bogeyman.” It’s not just about exposure, but quantity of exposure.
this applies to literally everything. Its the dose that makes the difference, not the thing itself.

@@Sharpless2 yea thats true but certain compounds require more caution than others
it is also heavily dependent on the type of particles as well and the geiger counter he has in this vid does not detect alpha particles which is the deadliest radiation
@@tarstarkusz either way they are scamming people and lying. Whether or not you think it's a big deal, most people probably don't want cancer in 20 years and long term exposure to these would significantly increase the risk. I'm glad they got shut down.

I have to say I'm impressed. You found a government agency that seems to deal with things in a very quick and responsible way.
Others include: DHS, FBI, IRS, FAA, FCC, FDA, EPA, etc. It's a pretty decent government on the career side.
@@tieck4408 ha! FBI not being slow, DHS too, both take unreasonably long times to do things, mostly because of government bureaucracy.

Geiger and Müller: Invent a radiation detector together
Everyone: "Geiger-Counter"
Müller: >:O
Alphabetical ordering with names strikes again!
Technically is a Geiger-Müller counter, but thats too long
The same thing happened with Drs. Uda and Yagi. Uda developed an antenna design, and Yagi perfected it. People still call it a Yagi antenna.
The US is accredited with the invention of the atomic bomb. Where as it is way more complicated than that. Still, to this day, most people think that the Manhatton project was just an American achievement.
Hence why it is sometimes referred to as a geiger - muller tube
Great job getting these products off the US market!! ❤ who knew the video would go SOOOO far!! 💓💓💓
I can’t imagine what kind of damage this is doing to the low wage workers involved in the production of these items. I can picture a factory with piles of thorium causing dust being directly breathed in.
Holy shit
Right? You know someone is dumping thorium oxide powder into a mixing tank with nothing other than a poorly-fitting procedure mask
I collect minerals and this actually scares me a bit. There is so much pseudoscience in the mineral vendor community and to see some "energy" claims turning out to mean radioactivity is beyond wild.
Kinda make sense why they make people a lil kooky. Buy a Geiger counter I guess just incase
@@PicassosCat I wouldn’t be surprised if these quacks are selling cinnabar with these claims.

Same. I think psychological associations are really fun but I just like rocks & I'm lucky enough to have a geologist for a cousin.
Thank you so much for covering this. Quackery is something that really grinds my gears. When I was a young adult and was diagnosed with cancer I had no familial support and was uninsured. The way that snake oil peddlers targeted me as though they were sharks smelling blood in the water was despicable. It is not hard to fall for this type of nonsense, especially if you are an isolated, terrified and desperate person. Luckily, I managed to keep my wits about me, but I won't lie and say that certain quackery wasn't tempting. This shit infuriates me.
what cancer did you have, and did you get cured?
@@funnyfunnyfunnyxd well she’s still alive so I would assume that she’s cured
I take it your stayed sane and went direct for the doctors recommendation 😭
Waste of money but won't give you cancer at these doses. 5 microsieverts an hour? You get 100 in a second with an X-ray. The units are confusing AF but man if you're going to make a video put it in perspective for people
There is no shame in people trying desperate measures when they fear for their or their loved one's lives. The shame is upon the sellers. There's a special place in hell for them
dude, huge props to you. i had no idea this was even happening
Thank you for making such a huge impact with these videos! You might not think about it now, but you saved hundreds if not thousands of peoples lives by making those videos exposing the horrific truth about those Negative Ion products.
I think Amazon should reach out to all the customers of the removed items and coordinate with the NRC to get all of those out of consumer hands.
Most consumers, who buy „quantum energy“ items, would probably believe the company which sells poison and not the NRC… they are lost to rational thinking.
Damage control is to costly. To costly to consider human lives. Because money is God, and god is money.
i think it would be kinda illegal to share each address to a third party? maybe not i know nothing about it

I have a vintage camera lens from the 1960's that's coated with Thorium Oxide. Had it for 20 years, I haven't started glowing yet. However, the original style of battery for the light meter in the camera accompanying it was a MERCURY CELL. Jesus Christ, the 1960's where a WILD time. Thankfully the light meter in it isn't sensitive to Voltages, Im able to Jimmy rig a hearing aid battery into it and IT WORKS! Sure beats those spendy Aluminum Air Light meter batteries that last precisely 1 year from the date of installation regardless of how much you use them. Great for professionals, inconvenient for the hobbiest. But considering I just quit smoking like 3 months ago, we'll see how long cancer escapes me.
That is terrifying. I used to have an eyemask that had magnets and was "negative ion" I hope to feck that wasn't as radioactive as this stuff!!

The best part is the people who bought these thorium infused products and put them on their bodies would be hell bent on stopping the development of a thorium reactor to put the thorium somewhere it would be safe and actually do something
Forgive my skepticism, but haven't thorium reactors been "the energy solution of the future" that will definitely be used within the next 20 years since the 1960's? (Note: no thorium reactors are currently running, despite large amounts of research and running reactors as early as 1965.)
@@btf_flotsam478 There haven't been permits given for a new reactor in the US that uses thorium.
@@btf_flotsam478 they are more expensive,at least at begining,like all new systems.if tomorrow they have to pay for the waste disposal,they will switch asap.
but for now,its so cheap for them,having the government to pay the expensive part,that even they can share the profits.
Thorium ones...they just solve the waste problem,burning the money they can pocket.
@@btf_flotsam478 The problem is more economic and political than it is a scientific or engineering problem that prevented their development
@@btf_flotsam478 it's about interests, the reason they haven't made a thorium-based reactor is that uranium can be used for nukes. So if it's not wartime, they use uranium for energy. Most things that have been created are not because they want an amazing future, but for military purposes. I also think that the fear of radioactive things and the liability also put off companies from making any more reactors.
Im so surprised that you got contacted about this. But I think the even bigger surprise is they follow up with you about their decisions and actions.
Thank you for making a video about this. I did my own research and found there is quite a conspiracy behind it... 3 labs refused to test the anion pen emitters as soon as I mentioned the brand name
I have to say, it's a rare moment of faith in humanity seeing a regulatory body acting decisively, transparently and proactively in exactly the way it was intended. Cheers to the good people of the U.S.NRC for the work they are doing!
Technically, every speeding ticket you get is a demonstration of the exact same thing.
I don’t know.. I feel like they should have already been aware of the problem. Just means means the agency didn’t actually have anybody checking for this kind of thing, which is concerning.

It depends on the place. But chances are the workers have proper protection.
For starters it is usually not that simple to get radioactive material in industrial amounts without the proper facilities and trained personnel. You'll just be told no.
Also this kind of radiation is not THAT powerful, if you wear just silk gloves and not bring it up to your face, you should be fine.
The problem is when you keep it close enough to let the particles penetrate your skin. Let alone keeping it near softer tissue (like your eyes or mouth)
