@@lamppuu1 Yeah I can’t stand how all these people like to pretend that properly-functioning kidneys & livers need “help” eliminating waste and toxins from the body even though it already gets help from skin, bladder, colon & lungs. The only way to “help” your kidneys, liver, colon, bladder & skin is to drink more fluids & expose yourself to less toxins in the first place by choosing/cleaning food more efficiently, filtering your tap water, avoiding heavy air pollution etc
Yeah, that one is always funny. Meanwhile I've never seen a real doctor wearing a stethoscope like that... Can't process the fact that some people are dumb enough to beleive these miracle bullsh!ts... All of them are so so so obviously fake

The moment I heard "nanotechnology" I wanted to make a joke about the Borg's nanites (If you watch Star Trek TNG, you'll know what I'm talking about), but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe someone else in these comments can. XD
Drinking this juice employs nanotechnology that reverses the polarity of your cells, because it uses your body's natural warp plasma to create a stasis field and reroute any anomalous activity directly to the starboard nacelles where it is expelled via your body's own Jefferies tubes.
If she was a doctor, you would think that she would know, that to detox, all you need is a liver and at least one kidney lol. This was an awesome video! So thorough!
I know from experience that in order for your organs to detox your body sufficiently, you need to have good nutrition including adequate daily water intake along with fruits and vegetables. Taking certain medications can complicate things. I don't entirely agree with people when they say that just because you have a liver and kidneys your body will adequately detoxify; you need to treat your body right so that it is better able to clean itself.
Yes! You need to support the liver and kidneys with proper nutrition so they can do their job. I hate how detox companies basically convince people eating fruits, vegetables, or high nutrition is useless when they promise results they can’t deliver. Good nutrition is awesome! It’s just not what detox companies tell people it is
I'm a Major of nothing and i still think i know more about cancer than this absolutely disgusting, colder than anyone i can come up with on the spot, murderer. Essential oils for cancer man... How about some goddamn essential oils to fix and oil up that long abandoned and broken moral compass, D o C t O r.
I’m really into science and biology and literally everything that she said just had me scratching my head, like there’s no way she really believes what she’s saying, like wtf does nano technology have to do with juices, what does “taking an enzyme means your body will go on vacation” even mean? She doesn’t even know how to say sedentary and said “We’re very sedative”, what the hell does “readily available to your cellular level” mean. The fact she hasn’t been called out by other doctors and health organizations, stopped and arrested for all the BS she’s saying and pretty much impersonating a doctor when she clearly doesn’t even understand what she’s even doing.
I find "Dr" Roni so completely uncompelling and unconvincing that I struggle to understand how anyone could buy into this. But then, humans are nothing if not easily swayed. The dispassionate way she said how much she loves a good coffee enema really freaked me out.
This is horrifying. I used to be an RN (technically still have my license) before chronic illness made me unable to work 1 year and a half ago. It burns me up that a nurse who has the responsibility to see to the health of her patients and who has the trust of so many makes a mockery of our profession and causes harm to others with unfounded claims. Evidence-based practice gets hammered into your head in nursing school. There are no excuses. And to take advantage of those who are looking at death from or a life with chronic illness… that is beyond sick. I do wonder what her actual license is. When I worked in nursing homes myself or when my hospital patients had family members who worked in health care, people with a CNA license would be referred to as a “nurse”. I would almost rather believe that this nurse is someone who went through a nursing assistant program (which is not nearly as in depth… I was a CNA before my RN) and is mislabeling herself and thinks she knows more than she does. It is more disturbing to think that she is someone who went through an actual nursing program and has all the training to know that this is unsafe bull. Sorry for the rant. I find it so painful that a nurse would be this irresponsible and betray those who trust our profession so much… especially targeting such a vulnerable population.
I’ve been binging your videos and just love them. I’m not on a weight loss journey anymore (I got really sick and my stomach is partially paralyzed) but I still just love watching and learning. It helps me make sure I’m keeping what little food I can eat to be smarter choices. Your passion for truth and kindness is tangible and I just flippin love it and you. Thank you for being you and doing what you do!
Call me a cynic, but it never ceases to amaze me how people constantly fall for the most blatantly obvious frauds! Pyramid schemes, health gurus, these fraudsters don’t even have to try very hard! Thank you for your videos, Kiana!
It's appalling how these people take advantage of desperate people or even worse, ofpatients suffering deadly diseases. Thr law about these issues should be much tougher. Great video by the way. I just discovered your channel today and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm pretty sure those effects felt after 21 days "see the world through new eyes", "Aches and pains are gone" and a "keen interest in developing new skills" are real. You have to die and reincarnate first but those are all valid effects of being reborn and having a new body (so no pain and new eyes) and a keen interest in developing new skills like walking, talking, eating healthier to avoid that debacle of a diet.
By 21 days, your muscles and tissues have probably atrophied to the point where sure, they may not hurt anymore, but that’d be because they’ve completely broken down due to the body literally scavenging itself for any possible form of energy since you’re not supplying it shit.
Trust me, if there were an easy and effortless way to cut 21 pounds of weight in 3 weeks professional boxers and MMA fighters would have find it decades ago.
Wish I had seen this year's ago! I've put in work, but finally realized my emotions and food shouldn't be connected and now I see food as food. Not good foods, not bad foods, just food and if it's towards my goals or not. Losing weight isn't my goal, but lowering my body fat and gaining muscle are and I'm finally mentally there to do it 😁
The "Experience emotional release" terrifies me. When I was college age, I was extremely poor, living on about 700 cals a day and $10ish a week in groceries. I was an emotional trainwreck and it was because I was starving myself. It's an enormous warning sign.
This is very well done, Kiana. 1) The like/dislike ratio speaks volumes. 6k / 35 is amazing. Two of the dislikes must be Dr. Roni and James Hester. 2) What you've done here borders on true investigative journalism, a dying art. You are clearly talented at it; you should consider diving in deeper. 3) On that note, I got trIGGeReD when you said that you "have no way of knowing" what really went on at the Martha's Vinyard retreats. You could go that extra step and track down primary sources. Same thing with Hester's associates. That way instead of just compiling Google results you could present original findings from contact with actual participants. Again great job you have come a long way over the last year!
Amazing series Kiana, these people are so fucked up. My mom had cancer and it makes me sick to think she could have been sucked into one of these predatory traps
This is horrifying?!! Please do an update when there’s more info! Side note, I remember seeing that book in the bookstore long ago and being tempted by the siren song of its title… but I didn’t have a juicer lol and I have always been lazy so I was saved from the scam 🥲
isn't it, tough? Fruits and Vegs are for the most part pretty cheap and build the foundation of healthy eating. The only thing is, that healthy ready to eat stuff out of the supermarket is rare. And healthy takeaways are redicolous, compared to the ingredients ( selling for 10++++$, altough the ingredients are literally worth Pennies). Honestly, if you cook for yourself, healthy stuff can be pretty damn cheap. Talking like 1$. The processed stuff is most of the times much more expansive. It only becomes a problem when you don't cook or have very specific diets. Gluten Free stuff for example usually costs more, altough it's not more expansive to produce and vegan Stuff (vegan sausages, "meats", milks, whatever) are kinda redicolous in Price.
Holy hell, how is it that ALL of these wellness retreats always end up being such seriously disturbing, “the- following -story -is-based-on- true -events” inspirational material for horror movies? They’re never just moderately unpleasant trips for these people. It’s like the poor people that fall for it always have these crazy, over-the-top, nightmare- experiences that scar them for life.
Dr. Oz, Dr. Rani, Dr. Phil. What’s with Oprah promoting Pseudoscience? That woman has a history of problematic behaviors apart from her embracing pseudoscience. I don’t understand how many people still trust her.
Julia Boateng is doing a video on her. I know that she doesn't have the biggest channel around, but her video might encourage other people to speak out. She has a community tab related to Oprah, so you can go ahead and write your grievances there.
This whole story reminds me of an old Victorian case, a woman “doctor” ran a retreat and promoted colonics and “cleansing” diets. There were two rich sisters from England that traveled to the US for her “treatment, among many others, one of them died the other was skin and bones when she escaped. I wish I could remember any of the names, but I know it was on “Deadly Women”
When I was in college girls I know will do this diet after some celeb endorsed it and we work with dangerous chemicals in lab. I always keep an eye on them it's terrifying how pale and tired they look
it makes me sad that people like Roni have given holistic treatment & doctors a bad, bad rep. as an aspiring herbalist & holistic doctor i thought it was absolute BS when i first saw her.
This is just psychotic. I dimly remember this as a teenager. Thank God I just hated taking the time to eat as a teenager and didn't need to lose weight as a result.
As a medical student, this ... hurts ... a lot. We study for years and years in order to take care of our patients, help them, save them. Seeing someone without the required basic knowledge, saying that she is a 'doctor', taking advantage of the most vulnerable and desperate people just to earn money. What really hurts is that she is lying to them with a smile while leading them to empty hopes, and in some cases even death. If the solution for weightloss and cancer was that easy, every single doctor on Earth would recomend it, but it's not realistic. Every single day, medicine improves: new discoveries, new less aggressive but still effective treatments (for example, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), antineoplastic drugs, promoters of cell differentiation and a long etc. for treating cancer). We need people to belive in science, to trust their doctors and other health proffesionals and to stick to treatment that are proven. We want the best for our patients and we will let you know the best possible treatments. 21:09 - 21:39 my brain just had a stroke. It is painful and hilarious at the same time. PS. Sorry about my English, it's not my mother tongue.
I would argue that the use of pancreatic enzymes, supplements and coffee enemas are a viable alternative to help cancer patients if made correctly and in the right form that could help many people if given the chance to be properly studied based off the relationship between a cancer cell and a trophoblast cell during fetal development. It is the pancreatic enzymes that signal the trophoblast to stop forming which, if left unchecked, turns into a condition known as choriocarcinoma
Excellent journalism! I hope more people watch this and apply the concept more broadly to questioning garbage misinformation science from people with Facebook PhDs.
Why is there so much obesity in the US? Uhh... cheap junk food & ads for same, car-dependant suburbia, shitty work/life balance, food industry lobbying, widespread sleep insufficiency, no sidewalks, food related culture factors, early morning school for teens, food deserts, poverty stress... so, SO many factors
Juices contain much more sugar and less fiber. You can squeeze 11 oranges in to a bottle of juice, but you could never eat 11 oranges. if you want to lose weight- move more, eat properly and cut out salt, sugar and flour to minimum or take it out completely.
I love your videos. I tried to sleep and listen to this but the volumes changes between voice overs, clips and when you have the camera on yourself. If there is a way to make sure all the volumes are the same would make the video to the next level. Thanks for teaching me something new
It's crazy how this video has the longest watch time. My favs are the ones where you go into the science of your brain on fast food and all that sciencey shit lol. I also like your videos about TH-cam famous fat chicks 🤣 like amber and Chantal
One pound equals 3500 calories. Most people shouldn't be eating that many calories a day to maintain their weight, so how do you lose a pound a day? It's impossible.
Imagine dropping 15k to spend 21 days in a windowless hoarder house drinking some powdered liquid you can buy from whole foods... not a worthy investment
lmfaooo i died at both of your comments. i think you're the first person to comment on 'you can't do life anymore?' - so i've been waiting for this day lol.
I don't know why I'm constantly surprised when people fall for stuff like this. Just the headline alone would cause me to scroll right past it knowing there would be no actual benefit to it yet people not only buy the book but advertise it on national television as this "miracle diet" as a cash grab. This book still has 4 stars on amazon over almost 800 reviews so the overwhelming majority still recommend this book. Why people would rather buy into this rather than look into actual scientific data for weight loss is beyond me.
Kiana, I would love you to dig in a little deeper to Gerson. They claim they can not perform a double blind study due to the therapy being a lifestyle and very obvious. Patients are tols to eat potatoes, fruits, and other veggies.
Some people just so insanely desperate for a quick fix. All you really need is a healthy diet that you can ask your doctor about and some exercise. Just eat more healthy food and ride a bike for a few hours.
well there were some detox advocates on TH-cam years back that I watched... the juice mania... one was traveling the country and only drinking juices all day... I think juices are good to have but not to remove an entire meal ... I have over a month that I started intermittent fasting and trying to consume 2620 kcal per day... exercises are my biggest problem... I don't like the fatigue and sweat... walking is enjoyable though... but certainly I need more nutrition education and I need to see and control my behaviour.
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but this is eerily similar to Linda Hazzards "fasting treatment." Ask a Mortician/Caitlin Doughty made an excellent video on her and Claire and Dora Williamson. Really disturbing stuff.
I love when your watching a video about health scams and you get a vshred ad haha. The first this they say is stop exercising or eatting less to lose weight that doesnt work... you need to know your body type!
Can you do a video on if homeopathy works for mental and general health? Some of my family members claim it helped heal everything from depression to skin conditions to GERD... I don't know what to believe 🤦🏻♀️
I actually remember seeing this book and Ronis face on magazines in the checkout line and on TV growing up. It was both interesting and creepy. I'm glad I never got into it
13:05 YOOO, DID SHE ACTUALLY SAY IT WAS NANOMACHINES?! NO WAY If you weren't aware in Metal Gear Solid 4 they basically explain all of the story's loose ends and mysteries with "Ah, it was nanomachines the whole time". A character named Naomi even cures her cancer with nanomachines (Until she turns them off because MGS4 is the worst)
The whole thing feels very cult-like to me. Preying on the vulnerable, promising the impossible, appealing to authority (celebrities), increasing demands of time and money, and ending in extreme cases of isolation. It's absolutely tragic to see people caught up in all that.
There is such a thing as the body holding more fat reserves due to stress though, it won't make you 50 pounds overweight but it can give you a pot belly.
just listening to her talk - how in the hell did anyone thing that this woman was educated to the degree that she could give out health advice? Mind boggling
I lost 20 pounds, started feeling more energetic (tiredness gone), and noticed certain discomforts (health problems) disappearing. All I did was follow a miracle diet plan. It's called watching what I eat and exercising regularly.
Omg same! I lost 30 pounds, I feel better than ever! All it took me was half a year of time, a close look at my eating habits, permanent changes in my diet and more exercise than before! A miracle! 😁👍
nothing says miracle diet like basic thermodynamics! Good on you buddy, im on a weight loss journey too(i have a dietician tho, i suffer from BED :P) and this inspires me a lot !!
I believe we need to include things in our diet like water and fruits and vegetables so that the body can clean itself. There are a lot of people walking around with lower liver and kidney functioning due to obesity, bad food choices, medications, etc.
Not to mention some of them talk people into drinking their own piss which aside from the obvious downside, is just water, urea, and various toxins. I'm sure there's other trace things like ammonia but none of them are good for you
yeah like jilly juice . she killed cancer patients. there was also another doctor that killed patients by giving them a “cure” that was just herbs and tea or something . I’ll try and find it. I think she actually got punished
@@Candicedickinsonllc Yep, although sadly the Dr Phil episode only made her more famous and sadly gave her more people to "treat"... It's honestly disgusting, and she made herself ineligible to fraud claims since she "only sells the recipe". Truly the people who most definitely have a special place in hell I swear
Agreed. Murder through unlicensed medical malpractice. The essential oils crowd is a public nuthouse of freaks who try to trick people into drinking mild poisons in stead of taking actual medications for things like seizures. Tons of those idiots straight up tell people to throw away all of their real medications.
But, the people who got duped had access to all the same informsio Kiana did. So, they bear responsibility for remaining ignorant. Self responsibility is a wonderfully powerful thing as compared to being a victim all the time.
This reminds me of Linda Hazzard, she was called the 'Starvation Doctor'. She had a diet and a retreat where she'd cure peoples illnesses, but all she did was starve them, beat them, and when they were completely delirious she'd get them to sign away all their money to her. She died herself while trying to prove that her diet worked...she starved to death.
I just did a Google search on this Linda Hazzard lady and she's actually here in my home state of Minnesota and was in the Minneapolis area before she was out in Washington State. There's a two-piece article on her on the internet
I’ve become biased against celebrity endorsements. Any time I see it, my likelihood of purchasing drops by like 99% (from a not very high likelihood to begin with lol) Fantastic video as always!!
Same here. If I see a product promoted by a celebrity, I am far less likely to buy it. A celebrity endorsement to me screams "we can't stand on factual evidence and spokespeople with relevant/expert backgrounds, so we've resorted to a popularity contest to try and get money from you!!!". And that's a hard nope from me. If I can't review the evidence myself or can't review the credentials of an expert who is touting the product, then I'm not doing it. That simple.
@@KianaDocherty I notice many of your video are older. I hope you are still making them. I have a degree in Kinesiology and your information is well researched and on the spot. So thanks for your great video and the time you put in them.

They’re never just moderately unpleasant trips for these people. It’s like the poor people that fall for it always have these crazy, over-the-top, nightmare- experiences that scar them for life.
She needs to be stopped. Almost cult like behaviour. Targeting vulnerable people, sucking money out of them.
Dr. Oz, Dr. Rani, Dr. Phil. What’s with Oprah promoting Pseudoscience? That woman has a history of problematic behaviors apart from her embracing pseudoscience. I don’t understand how many people still trust her.
Neither. She has caused so much damage that she would be "cancelled" for today yet she has people who absolutely admire her still.
Julia Boateng is doing a video on her. I know that she doesn't have the biggest channel around, but her video might encourage other people to speak out. She has a community tab related to Oprah, so you can go ahead and write your grievances there.
I call the DOPrah
This whole story reminds me of an old Victorian case, a woman “doctor” ran a retreat and promoted colonics and “cleansing” diets. There were two rich sisters from England that traveled to the US for her “treatment, among many others, one of them died the other was skin and bones when she escaped. I wish I could remember any of the names, but I know it was on “Deadly Women”
This goes deep. So does Hollywood... now that's the deepest route.
When I was in college girls I know will do this diet after some celeb endorsed it and we work with dangerous chemicals in lab. I always keep an eye on them it's terrifying how pale and tired they look
it makes me sad that people like Roni have given holistic treatment & doctors a bad, bad rep. as an aspiring herbalist & holistic doctor i thought it was absolute BS when i first saw her.
This is just psychotic. I dimly remember this as a teenager. Thank God I just hated taking the time to eat as a teenager and didn't need to lose weight as a result.
As a medical student, this ... hurts ... a lot. We study for years and years in order to take care of our patients, help them, save them. Seeing someone without the required basic knowledge, saying that she is a 'doctor', taking advantage of the most vulnerable and desperate people just to earn money. What really hurts is that she is lying to them with a smile while leading them to empty hopes, and in some cases even death.
If the solution for weightloss and cancer was that easy, every single doctor on Earth would recomend it, but it's not realistic.
Every single day, medicine improves: new discoveries, new less aggressive but still effective treatments (for example, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), antineoplastic drugs, promoters of cell differentiation and a long etc. for treating cancer). We need people to belive in science, to trust their doctors and other health proffesionals and to stick to treatment that are proven. We want the best for our patients and we will let you know the best possible treatments.
21:09 - 21:39 my brain just had a stroke. It is painful and hilarious at the same time.
PS. Sorry about my English, it's not my mother tongue.
I would argue that the use of pancreatic enzymes, supplements and coffee enemas are a viable alternative to help cancer patients if made correctly and in the right form that could help many people if given the chance to be properly studied based off the relationship between a cancer cell and a trophoblast cell during fetal development. It is the pancreatic enzymes that signal the trophoblast to stop forming which, if left unchecked, turns into a condition known as choriocarcinoma
I’m currently watching 9 perfect strangers so this retreat sounds really creepy and I wouldn’t want to stay there if someone paid me 15000$ lol
Excellent journalism! I hope more people watch this and apply the concept more broadly to questioning garbage misinformation science from people with Facebook PhDs.
Holy crap this lady use to always be on Howard Stern as the doctor for Robin Quivers. That was 29 years ago. Crazy to see her here
Why is there so much obesity in the US? Uhh... cheap junk food & ads for same, car-dependant suburbia, shitty work/life balance, food industry lobbying, widespread sleep insufficiency, no sidewalks, food related culture factors, early morning school for teens, food deserts, poverty stress... so, SO many factors
not youtube giving me a toxic poop ad on this video smh. but in seriousness, thank you for the great work you do, Kiana!! you are making a difference
Cant get enough of your videos!
“Why do you think obesity is such rampant” bro w h a t
Juices contain much more sugar and less fiber. You can squeeze 11 oranges in to a bottle of juice, but you could never eat 11 oranges. if you want to lose weight- move more, eat properly and cut out salt, sugar and flour to minimum or take it out completely.
9:06 ok but why does those prominses remind me of a short horror film I saw once
I love your videos. I tried to sleep and listen to this but the volumes changes between voice overs, clips and when you have the camera on yourself. If there is a way to make sure all the volumes are the same would make the video to the next level. Thanks for teaching me something new
This channel has been keeping me healthy physically and mentally, good content ☺
One of my mates lost about 15 kilos in a short time earlier this year, the secret is to be in a coma
Man if you think hard about it, Dr. Roni was instrumental in popularizing the entire juice cleansing hype! Fucking insane!
Sensational journalism.
I’m honestly startled to think she was even an RN. The way she spoke absolute nonsense and didn’t even bat an eye about it was bizarre
It's crazy how this video has the longest watch time. My favs are the ones where you go into the science of your brain on fast food and all that sciencey shit lol. I also like your videos about TH-cam famous fat chicks 🤣 like amber and Chantal
It's hilarious what kind of people get to call themselves "doctor" in the US.
especiaaly the brand of dumbshits called chiropractors
As a med student, the stuff that this "detox doctor" is saying is just comical.
Thank you Kiana for shedding light into this! :)
Hey Kiana, Great story! Thank you!
One pound equals 3500 calories. Most people shouldn't be eating that many calories a day to maintain their weight, so how do you lose a pound a day? It's impossible.
This is bringing back my memories from the movie "Requiem for a Dream"
Just eat a dodgy prawn, it will give you same effect
Ear candles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh god how easily people can be duped.
Even knowing it’s bullshit, the promises are so enticing.
Imagine dropping 15k to spend 21 days in a windowless hoarder house drinking some powdered liquid you can buy from whole foods... not a worthy investment
I can't do life anymore, it be such rampant these days
lmfaooo i died at both of your comments. i think you're the first person to comment on 'you can't do life anymore?' - so i've been waiting for this day lol.
we need more people like her, period!
I don't know why I'm constantly surprised when people fall for stuff like this. Just the headline alone would cause me to scroll right past it knowing there would be no actual benefit to it yet people not only buy the book but advertise it on national television as this "miracle diet" as a cash grab. This book still has 4 stars on amazon over almost 800 reviews so the overwhelming majority still recommend this book. Why people would rather buy into this rather than look into actual scientific data for weight loss is beyond me.
Kiana, I would love you to dig in a little deeper to Gerson. They claim they can not perform a double blind study due to the therapy being a lifestyle and very obvious. Patients are tols to eat potatoes, fruits, and other veggies.
Evil person. If she actually has a medical license it needs to be revoked
what is she a doctor of? surely not medicine? if so, has the licensing board been notified? this woman needs to be kept away from vulnerable people,
oh never mind, I asked before I watched the whole video, I see she is an internet doctor.
Some people just so insanely desperate for a quick fix. All you really need is a healthy diet that you can ask your doctor about and some exercise. Just eat more healthy food and ride a bike for a few hours.
well there were some detox advocates on TH-cam years back that I watched... the juice mania... one was traveling the country and only drinking juices all day... I think juices are good to have but not to remove an entire meal ... I have over a month that I started intermittent fasting and trying to consume 2620 kcal per day... exercises are my biggest problem... I don't like the fatigue and sweat... walking is enjoyable though... but certainly I need more nutrition education and I need to see and control my behaviour.
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but this is eerily similar to Linda Hazzards "fasting treatment."
Ask a Mortician/Caitlin Doughty made an excellent video on her and Claire and Dora Williamson. Really disturbing stuff.
Why is " Dr " Roni wearing a lab coat and stethoscope while standing behind a bunch of vegetable , is she going to check their vitals ?
I love when your watching a video about health scams and you get a vshred ad haha. The first this they say is stop exercising or eatting less to lose weight that doesnt work... you need to know your body type!
Can you do a video on if homeopathy works for mental and general health? Some of my family members claim it helped heal everything from depression to skin conditions to GERD... I don't know what to believe 🤦🏻♀️
I actually remember seeing this book and Ronis face on magazines in the checkout line and on TV growing up. It was both interesting and creepy. I'm glad I never got into it
I was a big stern fan and I remember her coming on the show because she was working with robin. All the guys were making fun of the diet.
this is just fucked up. how hasn't she and her co author been arrested and charged yet? is it because all her victims have no money to sue her?
those dastardly gateway scams
Bad idea to exercise if you're only consuming 300cals a day!
She even blinks too much, i think it indicated that she's lying
As a med student « fat cells is your trashcan » sounded really funny
13:05 YOOO, DID SHE ACTUALLY SAY IT WAS NANOMACHINES?! NO WAY
If you weren't aware in Metal Gear Solid 4 they basically explain all of the story's loose ends and mysteries with "Ah, it was nanomachines the whole time". A character named Naomi even cures her cancer with nanomachines (Until she turns them off because MGS4 is the worst)
Why did she choose 21 pounds, as opposed to 20, 25, or another amount? 21 is Blackjack; they're exploiting your sub-conscience memory.
The whole thing feels very cult-like to me. Preying on the vulnerable, promising the impossible, appealing to authority (celebrities), increasing demands of time and money, and ending in extreme cases of isolation. It's absolutely tragic to see people caught up in all that.
“The body doesn’t hold fat hostage because it’s in a bad mood” 😂😂 Kiana always manages to educate and make me laugh at the same time
"No weight loss for you I'm mad at you >:(" - the human body, probably
True story
Got to love "faith "based diets, phoney is phoney
There is such a thing as the body holding more fat reserves due to stress though, it won't make you 50 pounds overweight but it can give you a pot belly.
Whatever. I have angry thighs. 😆
just listening to her talk - how in the hell did anyone thing that this woman was educated to the degree that she could give out health advice? Mind boggling
I lost 20 pounds, started feeling more energetic (tiredness gone), and noticed certain discomforts (health problems) disappearing.
All I did was follow a miracle diet plan.
It's called watching what I eat and exercising regularly.
You mean gold old fashion calories in, calories out? Good job on your weight loss!
Omg same! I lost 30 pounds, I feel better than ever! All it took me was half a year of time, a close look at my eating habits, permanent changes in my diet and more exercise than before! A miracle! 😁👍
Yup! Down 27 pounds since June 4, 2021. Have about 25 more to lose. Eating healthy and exercising has been amazing! Who knew?? 🤣🥰
But doctor said it doesn't work 🤣
nothing says miracle diet like basic thermodynamics! Good on you buddy, im on a weight loss journey too(i have a dietician tho, i suffer from BED :P) and this inspires me a lot !!
Detoxes are ALWAYS a scam. The liver is like, "Am I joke to you?" 😭
I believe we need to include things in our diet like water and fruits and vegetables so that the body can clean itself. There are a lot of people walking around with lower liver and kidney functioning due to obesity, bad food choices, medications, etc.
Not to mention some of them talk people into drinking their own piss which aside from the obvious downside, is just water, urea, and various toxins. I'm sure there's other trace things like ammonia but none of them are good for you
@@veronicamoody3981 Should that be called a detox, though? Shouldn't it just be called eating a normal diet?
Luring cancer patients into this while knowing it doesn't help them could literally be considered murder...and it probably should be...
There should be a special circle in hell for people like that
yeah like jilly juice . she killed cancer patients. there was also another doctor that killed patients by giving them a “cure” that was just herbs and tea or something . I’ll try and find it. I think she actually got punished
@@Candicedickinsonllc Yep, although sadly the Dr Phil episode only made her more famous and sadly gave her more people to "treat"... It's honestly disgusting, and she made herself ineligible to fraud claims since she "only sells the recipe".
Truly the people who most definitely have a special place in hell I swear
Agreed. Murder through unlicensed medical malpractice. The essential oils crowd is a public nuthouse of freaks who try to trick people into drinking mild poisons in stead of taking actual medications for things like seizures. Tons of those idiots straight up tell people to throw away all of their real medications.
But, the people who got duped had access to all the same informsio Kiana did. So, they bear responsibility for remaining ignorant. Self responsibility is a wonderfully powerful thing as compared to being a victim all the time.
"dr roni" most probably knows less about the human body than anyone who attended their high school biology classes properly
Never knew how profitable it was to take advantage of people who just refuse to drink water
Comment of the year
born Yesterday huh?
It's freaking hard to overeat if you down a gallon water.
🤣😂
@@Tate525 it’s also hard to stay out of the bathroom if you down a gallon of water
This reminds me of Linda Hazzard, she was called the 'Starvation Doctor'. She had a diet and a retreat where she'd cure peoples illnesses, but all she did was starve them, beat them, and when they were completely delirious she'd get them to sign away all their money to her. She died herself while trying to prove that her diet worked...she starved to death.
well, it definitely worked as a diet. people she "treated" dying at 50-70lbs, they definitely lost weight.
Divine justice.
I think this case might have been covered on the crime show "Deadly Women." If not, then there were two women doing this horrible stuff. Yeesh.
I just did a Google search on this Linda Hazzard lady and she's actually here in my home state of Minnesota and was in the Minneapolis area before she was out in Washington State. There's a two-piece article on her on the internet
I’ve become biased against celebrity endorsements. Any time I see it, my likelihood of purchasing drops by like 99% (from a not very high likelihood to begin with lol)
Fantastic video as always!!
Same here. If I see a product promoted by a celebrity, I am far less likely to buy it. A celebrity endorsement to me screams "we can't stand on factual evidence and spokespeople with relevant/expert backgrounds, so we've resorted to a popularity contest to try and get money from you!!!". And that's a hard nope from me. If I can't review the evidence myself or can't review the credentials of an expert who is touting the product, then I'm not doing it. That simple.
What about build bar?
The only time I’ll buy a product is if Shaq is on the commercial
@@ezekielsmith3571 To be fair, Built Bar is just a protein bar.
I don't even trust regular people endorsements - the amount of bullshit on tiktok etc that folks get paid for "recommending" is ridiculous!
Wow, Kiana just graduated to investigative journalism! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for looking out 😇
LOOOL thank you!!!
@@KianaDocherty I notice many of your video are older. I hope you are still making them. I have a degree in Kinesiology and your information is well researched and on the spot. So thanks for your great video and the time you put in them.
