I'm no gynocologist but I've got a funny feeling that microorganisms evolved to live in warm moist environments aren't going to be killed off by warmth and moisture.
Well, in medicine, steam is being used for sterilization... of termoresistant materials (bedsheats, clothing, uniforms, metal and glass instruments and containers, etc.). If you were to use it on living tissues at temperatures needed to do the job you would cause massive burns, even more severe ones on the mucous lining of the cavities due to them lacking the corneal layer (stratum corneum) of the skin.
@ElephantsLover I'm not entirely sure so i am going to speculate a bit. To blow something up the vagina or a another orifice i'd assume the source of steam should be close to it. In a spa, steam tends to spread out resulting in smaller concentration of heated water per unit of surface and less heat being transmitted (that is what i'm speculating). Also, skin has sweat glands which release sweat which aids in cooling, both directly and by covering the the body with electrolyte rich water which further disperses the heat. Sweat also evaporates taking heat it absorbed to do so with it. Another important distinction is the outermost layer of the epidermis. While histiologically similar, being multi layered squamous epithelial tissue, skin has an additional layer of practically dead skin cells called stratum corneum which offers additional protection. This doesn't mean that you can injure skin with steam, you can cause burns. It's just that it makes skin more resistant than the more vulnerable vaginal lining. Andsteam could cause damage to the vaginal microflora (bacteria and fungi which normally live there), i think, resulting in opportunistic and external infections.
@ElephantsLover You're mistaking water vapor for steam, a common mistake. Remember that actual steam is invisible, it's the cooling water vapor that makes the 'steamy' clouds we all know and love~
Well I tried this a looooong time ago. It didn’t burn me like others said but it was just..uncomfortable. As shit. My vagina was hot as shit and it did help my cramps (which was terrible) but so does 800mg of ibuprofen sooo🤷🏽♀️. My friend paid for us all to get it and when I found out it was 165$ EACH I was completely blown away she fucking paid that much for 4 of us. Like girl we could’ve sat in a sauna with a bottle of alcohol each and got drunk and had a ball. But instead I was sitting in a chair with steam going up my chuckie listening to some bougie bitch talk about her housekeepers and how life was so hard for her 🤦🏽♀️💆🏽♀️. Never. Again.
I love how she was saying that about the Sun. The fucking Sun. You know, that massive ball of exploding gases that could incinerate the entire planet at any time.

good homeopathy: i carry around this quartz because its pretty and makes me feel more confident bad homeopathy: i carry around this quartz to cure my stage four leukemia!
Lalogue: I may have been less than specific about homeopathy. Just like "medicin" is a wide variety of things, so is homeopathy. LSD was subscribed by psychiatrists for schizophrenia, psychosis, and other severe conditions. Needles to say, the practice was abandoned, along with a lot of other medical practices. Some homeopathic prescriptions are complete bonkers. Like "crystal water", which is purified water that has been "exposed" to the "healing properties" of various crystals. Even a drunken cat lady can tell, that this is utter nonsense. In fact, these kinds of "cures" make up the vast majority of "homeopathy". It has been discovered, that some chemical compounds, that are poisonous in higher (or indeed lower) doses, have medical properties if diluted to certain concentrations. A few of these compounds have been approved after rigorous testing, but the practice of homeopathy is not widespread, as few doctors are trained/qualified. On the other hand: if wearing a crystal in your pocket makes you confident enough to live a good life, feel free to do so, but don't tell the rest of the world, that this crystal cures anything.

Yeah, well . . . Until a few years ago, acupuncture was considered a hoax by the Danish health authorities. Now, acupuncture sees widespread use all across the health system. Some forms of alternative medicine does work, and some forms of alternative medicine is just bollocks.
Gaspard P Yes, that is why we should continue research on different treatments to find out what works, but before the research is done i wouldn’t put my faith in alternative medicine.
Im an enviromentalist that supports taking a more holistic aproach to things we do and I hate people that sell crap like this because they give the rest of us a bad name.
Nihl Lhin I’m a hospice nurse so I’ll toss in my 2 pennies. Some “alternative” things such has yoga, meditations, and acupuncture do show some benefits in cancer patients. Mostly things like reduced stress, anxiety, and pain. The reduction in all these can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medication and anxiety medication needed. Medical marijuana does help improve the symptoms of illnesses. For example, reduce pain, anxiety, and increase the desire for food. Again things that can assist a person in their real treatments of various serious diseases. I’ve never seen or heard of marijuana curing anything though. I do believe that alternative medicine does have a place next to modern medicine and can help promote a healthy lifestyle. With that being said obvious scam companies such as Goop really does a lot of damage to those who buy it. Some people are just damaged because they waste their money on the snake oil they sell. Other could suffer more medicinal issues because their deception. Not good at all
I think one of the best examples of this is essential oil MLMs. They tell you they can cure autism, HIV, and chronic pain-WITH OILS. You know what you get with applying essential oils directly into your skin? Allergies. And more bullshit if you’re putting it on your kids. It’s honestly a disgrace.
I agree with you, but one important thing to keep in mind is something the video said: There is no "alternative medicine" there is only medicine that works. Natural remedies that work are not "alternative medicine", they are just medicine. I think it's better to think of it that way because categorizing things into "conventional medicine" and "alternative medicine" gives the idea that no natural remedies are based on scientific evidence, which as Katrina pointed out, is very untrue, or it gives the idea that those who practice conventional medicine do not encourage natural remedies or lifestyle modifications as a cure for disease. They're not 2 competing fields as we are sometimes led to believe, they're all part of the same field meant to reduce morbidity and mortality and promote optimal health.

The only woo that I really like or appreciate (NOTE: I am aware that it has no scientific basis and that it's bullshit) is crystals. I like the aesthetic of the amethyst that's carved into a obelisk, or a jade amulet for luck. I base my appreciation for this solely on the emotional response that beautiful minerals trigger in me, not on any "superpowers" people claim they have. I'm aware it's bullshit, but if I had my way, I would have a house full of "healing" crystals.
There is nothing wrong with crystals or any other kind of placebo/"alternative" practices, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE IT TO SCAM AND EXPLOIT PEOPLE. If it works for you, amazing! Go for it! It doesn't need to have a scientific basis to help you (even if that help is purely emotional - still relevant!). The power of placebo is pretty remarkable, and sometimes that alone is enough to help. It's just important to stay in touch with reality and not try to cure, say, stage four cancer with crystals exclusively. But that doesn't mean that anything "alternative" has to be dumb and/or pointless. I believe that there's time and place for "alternative medicine", and there's time and place for seeing an actual doctor.
Fun fact: Walking on grass, especially in places where animals leave their dung, in lakes or rivers, is particularly risky, as there is an elevated chance of contracting hookworms or tape worms, some really nasty parasites. Also, you can easily burn your feet if you walk barefoot on asphalt. The fact it's dark coloured and that cars pass through, makes it absorb high amounts of heat.
"Alternative medicine" here in Taiwan is in fact a way of life, quite normal to us and sometimes works better than western medical practice -- and a lot of them did come with the immigrants from China. However, Goop is NOT a representation of alternative medicine, it is an embodiment of capitalism.
But alternative medicine don't work like scientific things, there is no research, no factual results, 2 people can do the same thing and just work in 1, there is no universal methodology neither explanation of how this works, alternative medicine is not real medicine, this still can work, but is not reliable
Some homeopathic treatments have therapeutic qualities but they're not usually an alternative for medicine which has active ingredients in the right amount to work. Aspirin for instance is the same chemical found in willow bark, but you'd much rather have an aspirin than willow bark because the synthetic version is safer and more reliable than a natural ingredient which can have different amounts and quality of the active ingredient. Even then, a lot of homeopathic remedies use the placebo effect which is strong enough that drugs have to outperform the placebo by a certain amount in order to be made available.

Something that strikes me is there are still a lot of people who haven't figured out yet that you shouldn't listen to celebrities, just because they are celebrities. Most of them are narcissists and morons who have been blinded by being buried in a world of massive privilege that they got to by some combination of talent at a certain skill like acting or singing, luck, connections, birth right(actor's children being actors). They indulge in all kinds of expensive things to improve their lives when they already have everything most people dream of. Statistically I'm sure you could say they have the best lives, as they have the most access to things which should make a positive difference, though they often end up being sad, lonely, people. Possibly even worse off on average than the the plebs they entertain. Many of them outright disdain their own fans, while also simultaneously telling them how they should live their lives, even if they couldn't be bothered to say hi to one of them.

Those stickers, crystals and some other products could just be a placebo (and work that way), but to make it 50-80 dollars is disgusting. I once bought a totem stone in a First Nation village in Canada when I was very young and on vacation. I carried it with me for years and actually believed in it then. Gave me some comfort when I was being bullied or sad. Of course when I got older, I stopped believing in it. Difference is though: It was like 8 dollars and looked really cool, with a wolf pawprint in the middle.

Late to the party but I don't care. About alternative medecines, in India, doctors have been mixing western medicine and ayurvedic medicine to treat patients. It seems to show great results, but the efficiency of ayurvedic treatments has also been put to actual scientific tests to prove that they work. So before going full alternative medicine, I'd basically suggest people to do their homework and _research_ their shit, because it may very well keep them from spending their money on utter crap. As for Gwyneth's line about "everything natural is good for us"... Well, when I was a kid, in summer, my brother and I were playing around and he pushed me in a large bush of nettles. In summer. Which means I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sandals. The burn I got all over my body was 100% natural, that's for sure.
@@villainoir Yes, there are homoeopathic and certified ayurvedic doctors, ayurvedic medicines are to much extent scientifically approved and useful. Just depends on the person if it suits them or not.
I will say, I have nothing against holistic medicine, or at least to an extent. As someone who has and knows several people with chronic, pain, functional, and invisible disorders, sometimes you just get failed by doctors and medicines so much you have to change tactics. There's so much we still don't know about so many disorders and diseases and syndromes, you really can't fault people for getting desperate, which is why it really makes my blood boil when someone like Gwen tries to exploit people like us (and I'm in no way saying you were faulting sick people).

Pretty rocks serves one important purpose: they are nice to look at, and it *IS* beneficial for your health to have nice things that you appreciate around you. From there to "they are magical and cures anything and everything" is more than just a far stretch. Heck, my parents a very nice quartz crystal I found in the mountains as a kid, and they are fond of it.

It's very hard to know what to believe if you don't have the education to interpret scientific literature. Some people don't trust "science" and genuinely believe the scientific community are part of a big conspiracy or maybe they just don't understand that science and alternative medicine aren't just two equally-valid competing fields. There's so much misinformation out there, especially now with the internet allowing everybody to feel like an expert, it's becoming more and more difficult for people to know what to believe

Unfortunately Common. Relying on emotional purchase rather than a rational one. Especially infuriating when they promote actually harmful practice though. I feel like this should be illegal or at the very least heavily fined 😕
I may be mistaken but I think the regulations are better in Europe than America. Like, in Britain we still have herbal medicines and some Chinese medicine, but these are only harmless and I don't think they are allowed to hide disclaimers in small print, plus most of these practitioners work closely alongside the NHS. The state does intervene in cases of serious deception or when the product is actually dangerous (I think?). Basically alternative fake medicine is legal, but there is no public money on it and they aren't allowed to advertise or brand in such a way as to look legit (1) Practitioners of two complementary treatments - osteopathy and chiropractic - are regulated and qualified just like conventional doctors. The NHS gives advice on alternative medicine, but basically warns you not to ever rely on it (2) (1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_alternative_medicine#United_Kingdom (2) www.nhs.uk/conditions/complementary-and-alternative-medicine/
Unfortunately, as long as they add a disclaimer, they're not doing anything illegal as far as I'm aware. Part of this is definitely desperation, combined with being disillusioned with mainstream science. That's one thing I should have addressed more in the video, because Goop deliberately sets itself up as an 'alternative' and uses the backlash to its own advantage. They're clever like that.
I was told to try oil soaking of my teeth instead of teeth brushing. Okay. But they recommended doing it with tea tree oil, because it has antimicrobial properties. It's also severely poisonous.

You could just list the entirety of nature. Everything, literally and not figuratively, everything in nature can kill you.
Snake bites aren’t dangerous!
Botulinum toxin is completely natural. Bon Appetit Gwynnie. Seriously she's so thick...
I'm no gynocologist but I've got a funny feeling that microorganisms evolved to live in warm moist environments aren't going to be killed off by warmth and moisture.
Well, in medicine, steam is being used for sterilization... of termoresistant materials (bedsheats, clothing, uniforms, metal and glass instruments and containers, etc.). If you were to use it on living tissues at temperatures needed to do the job you would cause massive burns, even more severe ones on the mucous lining of the cavities due to them lacking the corneal layer (stratum corneum) of the skin.
@ElephantsLover I'm not entirely sure so i am going to speculate a bit. To blow something up the vagina or a another orifice i'd assume the source of steam should be close to it. In a spa, steam tends to spread out resulting in smaller concentration of heated water per unit of surface and less heat being transmitted (that is what i'm speculating).
Also, skin has sweat glands which release sweat which aids in cooling, both directly and by covering the the body with electrolyte rich water which further disperses the heat. Sweat also evaporates taking heat it absorbed to do so with it.
Another important distinction is the outermost layer of the epidermis. While histiologically similar, being multi layered squamous epithelial tissue, skin has an additional layer of practically dead skin cells called stratum corneum which offers additional protection.
This doesn't mean that you can injure skin with steam, you can cause burns. It's just that it makes skin more resistant than the more vulnerable vaginal lining.
Andsteam could cause damage to the vaginal microflora (bacteria and fungi which normally live there), i think, resulting in opportunistic and external infections.
@ElephantsLover You're mistaking water vapor for steam, a common mistake. Remember that actual steam is invisible, it's the cooling water vapor that makes the 'steamy' clouds we all know and love~

Well I tried this a looooong time ago. It didn’t burn me like others said but it was just..uncomfortable. As shit. My vagina was hot as shit and it did help my cramps (which was terrible) but so does 800mg of ibuprofen sooo🤷🏽♀️. My friend paid for us all to get it and when I found out it was 165$ EACH I was completely blown away she fucking paid that much for 4 of us. Like girl we could’ve sat in a sauna with a bottle of alcohol each and got drunk and had a ball. But instead I was sitting in a chair with steam going up my chuckie listening to some bougie bitch talk about her housekeepers and how life was so hard for her 🤦🏽♀️💆🏽♀️.

Smallpox is 100% natural.
I mean, rattlesnake venom is all natural. We should inject that straight into our brains.
Hell, even without going to extremes her comment is absurd. She's talking about the sun- has she never once heard of a sunburn? The sun can totally be bad for you even while a safe distance from it on Earth!
Poison ivy is natural, why not rub that on our vag's?
"Psychic Vampire Repellent, which banishes bad vibes"
This shit sounds more like a surreal meme than a legitimate product
By name and title alone, I imagine it's just garlic fermentation in water; would definitely banish anyone from your immediate vicinity, meaning you'll remain ignorant from bad vibes forever!
And poor Colin Robinson would starve :(. Be kind to your energy vampires, they live only for a hundred years.
Psychic vampires are a term in Satanism. It's a person who manipulates you to do something you don't want to do. I think the Church of Satan needs to sue Goop for their use of that term.
Turns out bad vibes is just the name of a particular vampire and they had a typo to not capitalize it as Bad Vibez
Whenever person unironically uses words like "vibes", his/hers argument is automatically diagnosed because of obvious lack of proper intelligence
If Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't involve in this, everyone would of this "company" as a scam
I also think because her target demographic is mostly fellow 1%ers, we're content to point and laugh while simultaneously weeping over our own lack of funds for a $150 water bottle. If she were targeting a different audience, the pushback would be way more serious (as it should be).

" ancient chinease practice" yes, because everything that is ancient is good i guess? we used to take mercury pills to live longer, or carve out hearts of living sacrifices, i suppose we are to start thata gain because its also a ancient practise
its so annoying how people will call any type of medicine chinese to push their bullshit. the chinese did some stupid medical practises, and yet some people tend to fetishise china and their 'herbal remedies'or some shit. they use medicines like every other countries
Livid Titch technically not all of the ancient chinese herbal medicine are bad. A Nobel prize winner, researched a way to cure a type of viral fever through researching documented ancient chinese medicine. But, yes, a lot of them are hogwash.
TL;DR: old = good is a horrible practice that could end in sacrifices to gods that chase each other in the sky
manh phuc oh yes of course, there are good, genuine chinese practices which i now realise makes it sound like ive brushed them off. i didnt mean to sound as if i was discarding those. i just mean that many chose to use those great ones as a guise for their own scams
The Chinese kill rhinos for their horns for "medicinal" purposes. If a company wants to sell me a "Chinese treatment" or an actual ancient Chinese treatment then they better have a portfolio of legit research papers at the ready to show me it actually works 🤷♂️
Same goes for any other type of treatment or product from anywhere. There's always a shitty scammer or a superstitious belief no matter where you go.
good homeopathy: i carry around this quartz because its pretty and makes me feel more confident
bad homeopathy: i carry around this quartz to cure my stage four leukemia!
Good homeopathy: placebo
Bad homeopathy: the rest of homeopathy.
Well, the Federal Board of Health in Germany officially approve homeopathy, so it can't be completely bonkers.
Lalogue: I may have been less than specific about homeopathy.
Just like "medicin" is a wide variety of things, so is homeopathy. LSD was subscribed by psychiatrists for schizophrenia, psychosis, and other severe conditions. Needles to say, the practice was abandoned, along with a lot of other medical practices.
Some homeopathic prescriptions are complete bonkers. Like "crystal water", which is purified water that has been "exposed" to the "healing properties" of various crystals. Even a drunken cat lady can tell, that this is utter nonsense. In fact, these kinds of "cures" make up the vast majority of "homeopathy".
It has been discovered, that some chemical compounds, that are poisonous in higher (or indeed lower) doses, have medical properties if diluted to certain concentrations. A few of these compounds have been approved after rigorous testing, but the practice of homeopathy is not widespread, as few doctors are trained/qualified.
On the other hand: if wearing a crystal in your pocket makes you confident enough to live a good life, feel free to do so, but don't tell the rest of the world, that this crystal cures anything.
Actually healthy: I don't need a bloody piece of rock to make me feel confident. I myself am enough.

Nihl Lhin I’m a hospice nurse so I’ll toss in my 2 pennies. Some “alternative” things such has yoga, meditations, and acupuncture do show some benefits in cancer patients. Mostly things like reduced stress, anxiety, and pain. The reduction in all these can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medication and anxiety medication needed. Medical marijuana does help improve the symptoms of illnesses. For example, reduce pain, anxiety, and increase the desire for food. Again things that can assist a person in their real treatments of various serious diseases. I’ve never seen or heard of marijuana curing anything though. I do believe that alternative medicine does have a place next to modern medicine and can help promote a healthy lifestyle. With that being said obvious scam companies such as Goop really does a lot of damage to those who buy it. Some people are just damaged because they waste their money on the snake oil they sell. Other could suffer more medicinal issues because their deception. Not good at all
I think one of the best examples of this is essential oil MLMs. They tell you they can cure autism, HIV, and chronic pain-WITH OILS. You know what you get with applying essential oils directly into your skin?
Allergies. And more bullshit if you’re putting it on your kids.
It’s honestly a disgrace.
I agree with you, but one important thing to keep in mind is something the video said: There is no "alternative medicine" there is only medicine that works. Natural remedies that work are not "alternative medicine", they are just medicine. I think it's better to think of it that way because categorizing things into "conventional medicine" and "alternative medicine" gives the idea that no natural remedies are based on scientific evidence, which as Katrina pointed out, is very untrue, or it gives the idea that those who practice conventional medicine do not encourage natural remedies or lifestyle modifications as a cure for disease. They're not 2 competing fields as we are sometimes led to believe, they're all part of the same field meant to reduce morbidity and mortality and promote optimal health.

The only woo that I really like or appreciate (NOTE: I am aware that it has no scientific basis and that it's bullshit) is crystals. I like the aesthetic of the amethyst that's carved into a obelisk, or a jade amulet for luck. I base my appreciation for this solely on the emotional response that beautiful minerals trigger in me, not on any "superpowers" people claim they have. I'm aware it's bullshit, but if I had my way, I would have a house full of "healing" crystals.
There is nothing wrong with crystals or any other kind of placebo/"alternative" practices, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE IT TO SCAM AND EXPLOIT PEOPLE. If it works for you, amazing! Go for it! It doesn't need to have a scientific basis to help you (even if that help is purely emotional - still relevant!). The power of placebo is pretty remarkable, and sometimes that alone is enough to help. It's just important to stay in touch with reality and not try to cure, say, stage four cancer with crystals exclusively. But that doesn't mean that anything "alternative" has to be dumb and/or pointless. I believe that there's time and place for "alternative medicine", and there's time and place for seeing an actual doctor.
Oh I love minerals I got a beautiful piece of lace agate and I like keeping it in my pocket when I know I'm gonna be stressed.

I feel that there is a threshold that most people dont cross. But Goop certainly does!
But alternative medicine don't work like scientific things, there is no research, no factual results, 2 people can do the same thing and just work in 1, there is no universal methodology neither explanation of how this works, alternative medicine is not real medicine, this still can work, but is not reliable
Some homeopathic treatments have therapeutic qualities but they're not usually an alternative for medicine which has active ingredients in the right amount to work. Aspirin for instance is the same chemical found in willow bark, but you'd much rather have an aspirin than willow bark because the synthetic version is safer and more reliable than a natural ingredient which can have different amounts and quality of the active ingredient.
Even then, a lot of homeopathic remedies use the placebo effect which is strong enough that drugs have to outperform the placebo by a certain amount in order to be made available.

Something that strikes me is there are still a lot of people who haven't figured out yet that you shouldn't listen to celebrities, just because they are celebrities. Most of them are narcissists and morons who have been blinded by being buried in a world of massive privilege that they got to by some combination of talent at a certain skill like acting or singing, luck, connections, birth right(actor's children being actors). They indulge in all kinds of expensive things to improve their lives when they already have everything most people dream of. Statistically I'm sure you could say they have the best lives, as they have the most access to things which should make a positive difference, though they often end up being sad, lonely, people. Possibly even worse off on average than the the plebs they entertain. Many of them outright disdain their own fans, while also simultaneously telling them how they should live their lives, even if they couldn't be bothered to say hi to one of them.

As long as we have hands and a face, facepalming will always be a thing. Also, rich idiots being bilked by other rich idiots is amusing; capitalism ftw.
Yeah capitalism is the problem. Not people, capitalism
@@toddgarver5397 eh, the people are kind of the problem in this case.
Now capitalism is to blame for superstition?

best way I've heard it put, "If alternative medicine worked, it wouldn't be alternative, it would just be medicine."
And that is exactly what happened to some alternative medicine (apupuncture wich is now valid medicine). And this is what won't happen to any of this idiots methods.
If a person constantly uses coffee enemas then their body will be dependant on the enemas in order to expel waste from the colon
Those stickers, crystals and some other products could just be a placebo (and work that way), but to make it 50-80 dollars is disgusting. I once bought a totem stone in a First Nation village in Canada when I was very young and on vacation. I carried it with me for years and actually believed in it then. Gave me some comfort when I was being bullied or sad. Of course when I got older, I stopped believing in it. Difference is though: It was like 8 dollars and looked really cool, with a wolf pawprint in the middle.
Found in the "Cosmic Health" section : the "Chill Child - Kid calming mist".... I can't 😂😂😂
Brace yourselves for some of the ingredients of that kid taming spray : "sonically tuned water", "a unique and complex blend of gems elixirs" including "sound waves, moonlight and love". 😂😂😂 For only $30 !!
I'm currently picturing a 40-something rich mom spraying this in the face of her tantrum-throwing hyperactive kid, and it's the best.

I wonder how you get an elixir from a gem. You sqeeze it?
I think it's basically chloroform
Evija3000 probably more of an infusion type thing, as in just setting the gem, rock, etc in liquid fir awhile & “voila!” Elixir!!🤪😂

Soon they’ll be telling us to drink mercury mixed with powdered jade out of a chalice saying it will make us immortal.
How oddly specific! Qin you tell me where I might have heard of that before?
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I recall hearing in school that a Chinese ruler (I don’t know the name) regularly drank mercury to supposedly make himself immortal. You can guess what happened to him.
Late to the party but I don't care. About alternative medecines, in India, doctors have been mixing western medicine and ayurvedic medicine to treat patients. It seems to show great results, but the efficiency of ayurvedic treatments has also been put to actual scientific tests to prove that they work. So before going full alternative medicine, I'd basically suggest people to do their homework and _research_ their shit, because it may very well keep them from spending their money on utter crap.
As for Gwyneth's line about "everything natural is good for us"... Well, when I was a kid, in summer, my brother and I were playing around and he pushed me in a large bush of nettles. In summer. Which means I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sandals. The burn I got all over my body was 100% natural, that's for sure.
Ikr. Not all "alternative" or "traditional" medicine is bad, fake, placebo, or pseudoscience!
Ayurveda works for me! It helps me to balance my diet and activities. Many ayurvedic practitioneers in India are also doctors, aren't they?
@@villainoir Yes, there are homoeopathic and certified ayurvedic doctors, ayurvedic medicines are to much extent scientifically approved and useful. Just depends on the person if it suits them or not.
@@user-pn4pp8hu2u ayurveda can work to a certain extent but DEFINITELY not homeopathy. They be scamming y'all

I will say, I have nothing against holistic medicine, or at least to an extent. As someone who has and knows several people with chronic, pain, functional, and invisible disorders, sometimes you just get failed by doctors and medicines so much you have to change tactics. There's so much we still don't know about so many disorders and diseases and syndromes, you really can't fault people for getting desperate, which is why it really makes my blood boil when someone like Gwen tries to exploit people like us (and I'm in no way saying you were faulting sick people).
The people who work at goop probably still wonder how they've gotten this far
“Take your shoes off and walk in the grass” but in Australia the damn grass is full of bindys!

I love the "nothing natural can be harmful" idea. (I have run into it before, far too many times.) Obviously these people have never heard of hemlock or destroying angel mushrooms.
Or any poisonous plants.
destroying angel: the perfect way to delete your DNA! (I think it has sypmtoms similar to what would happen if your DNA dissapeared)
Why would you want anything called "goop" anywhere near your vagina? Outside of the obvious "teehee" answer, I mean.
But seriously, steam cleaning? If just basic douching is bad for you and causes infections, I can't even imagine what that does...
Makes you feel enlightened, I guess. Unfortunately, I can't find out for myself. I'm sure it feels different in the other hole.
I thought she meant like steam mops for quite a while, never really put much thought into it until now
Well if they are called carpet munchers, you better have some carpet cleaning.
yeah, i loterally got bv from splashing water down there and not immediately drying it off
It cooks your powsi and its ready to eat...
Walking barefoot is great, until you get lost in thought and you realize you've wandered off the grass and that your foot is bleeding cause you've cut your foot open on a rock, and you left the grass cause you see a bunch of insects crawling around and a lot of pointy sticks. And then your foot gets infected cause you left your shoes behind and you gotta limp all the way home and expose the cut to good ole ground bacteria ,story of my life. Thank god for peroxide
If walking barefoot represents this much danger to you then you might be as dumb as goop!
@@talksolot I learned my lesson. NEVER AGAIN!

I went to a state museum gift shop and bought those exact same crystals and rocks in two small bags (total of 20 rocks) for $10, $5/bag. And that was at a gift shop, and the rocks are really pretty, I can use them to make jewelry, this is all bs.
Pretty rocks serves one important purpose: they are nice to look at, and it *IS* beneficial for your health to have nice things that you appreciate around you. From there to "they are magical and cures anything and everything" is more than just a far stretch. Heck, my parents a very nice quartz crystal I found in the mountains as a kid, and they are fond of it. I wish I had found one for myself, too, but I have the cutest teddybear in the world, so I'm good.

Oh yeah, the buyer is ultimately responsible, but I hate people who peddle bullshit or scams and them put some disclaimer in tiny text to cover their ass.

It's very hard to know what to believe if you don't have the education to interpret scientific literature. Some people don't trust "science" and genuinely believe the scientific community are part of a big conspiracy or maybe they just don't understand that science and alternative medicine aren't just two equally-valid competing fields. There's so much misinformation out there, especially now with the internet allowing everybody to feel like an expert, it's becoming more and more difficult for people to know what to believe
Hilarious, yet serious. Amazing, you pointed out a problem on general people ignorance and destroyed everything on your path explaining why, what and who.
Everyone! Smash the like button until your phone or the servers gets destroyed!
Unfortunately Common. Relying on emotional purchase rather than a rational one. Especially infuriating when they promote actually harmful practice though. I feel like this should be illegal or at the very least heavily fined 😕
I may be mistaken but I think the regulations are better in Europe than America. Like, in Britain we still have herbal medicines and some Chinese medicine, but these are only harmless and I don't think they are allowed to hide disclaimers in small print, plus most of these practitioners work closely alongside the NHS. The state does intervene in cases of serious deception or when the product is actually dangerous (I think?). Basically alternative fake medicine is legal, but there is no public money on it and they aren't allowed to advertise or brand in such a way as to look legit (1)
Practitioners of two complementary treatments - osteopathy and chiropractic - are regulated and qualified just like conventional doctors. The NHS gives advice on alternative medicine, but basically warns you not to ever rely on it (2)
(1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_alternative_medicine#United_Kingdom
(2) www.nhs.uk/conditions/complementary-and-alternative-medicine/
Unfortunately, as long as they add a disclaimer, they're not doing anything illegal as far as I'm aware.
Part of this is definitely desperation, combined with being disillusioned with mainstream science. That's one thing I should have addressed more in the video, because Goop deliberately sets itself up as an 'alternative' and uses the backlash to its own advantage. They're clever like that.
I'm not nearly as familiar with UK health policy as I should be, honestly, but I'm glad we're not nearly as tolerant of this nonsense.
Well, faith healing is legal, so this really isn't any different. Works about the same.
I was told to try oil soaking of my teeth instead of teeth brushing. Okay. But they recommended doing it with tea tree oil, because it has antimicrobial properties.
It's also severely poisonous.
Just found your channel, and I'm hooked - manages to inform and entertain, an accomplishment not easily achieved nowadays.
