Oh you non believers! Don't you know that it's enough to wear only three trios of these bracelets and it will treat syphilis, plauge and measles! WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS! 🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦
They are told "no side effects" so they don't expect any, and don't get any. Interestingly enough, a product with no effects whatsoever can also create imagined side effects if the person believes it to be harmful. It's called the nocebo effect.
You'd think that if these crystals worked, I, as a geologist who is surrounded by them, would be the calmest and most healthy person alive. (Spoiler: I'm not)
I’m just imagining a very tired geologist draining their 6th cup of coffee while watching a crystal seller talk at them about how the tourmaline or w/e they’ve been working with for weeks would help their insomnia, with blank and annoyed eyes.
I surround myself with crystals and being honest they do make me feel calmer. But that's because I put my intention for them to. They help me spiritually not physically. Crystals are not a magic solution to all your problems you need to actually put in the work and the crystal is a physical representation of that work
I love when people compare "man made medicine" to "what the earth gave us." Where do people think men are getting the ingredients to make medicine? I'll give you a hint. Not Mars.
Same! Feeling hunger is a good thing! It's something I've internalized so much in treatment for my ED and I wanted to yell at KM through the screen for implying having no appetite is a good thing.
So much of everything she said was so fucked up! I hope you are in recovery and doing well. My son has been having some very unhealthy ideas about eating and weight lately and it’s so hard. Because no matter how much I tell him that he’s beautiful the way he is I feel like I can’t get through. Sending you so much love.
@@marystone7869 I hope everyone here is doing okay, in recovery? And Mei I'm sorry about the situation with your son, I hope you can find a way to communicate with each other. Maybe he will come to you with any issues eventually if you just tell him you're there if he needs you? But sending love to everyone too
I'm an ex heroin addict, I've been clean for 8 months now. And it really disgusts me how "heroin chic" is a thing. Heroin kills, and ruins lives. It just grosses me out the way the media portrays drugs, and addiction. Love you Madison!!
When she says "harvard" she means there's a lady with the last name Harvard in Massachusetts, probably named Jenny that did the research by picking up each stone and 'feeling' it. She is an alternative healer and has her own practice in her basement. So she's practically a PHD.
I like the way she says “everything God makes is perfect and he doesn’t make mistakes”, yet she’s wearing glasses and feels the need to dye her skin orange. 🤔
This scientific evidence is so compelling that I’m going to go throw away all my skirts and dresses right now so I never have to risk driving without pants! ....wait. Do leggings count as pants or do I have to throw those out too? Should I just go the safest route and wear the exact same brand, color, cut, and size as you?
As someone who has struggled with addiction, trust me, being "heroin skinny" is not something that is desirable. When you are constantly throwing up and your body is shutting down on you, but you're so physically dependant on it that you can't stop even though you want to with everything in your being ... Not cute. These people are trash.
People also don’t realize being super skinny is uncomfortable too. You can experience things like being excessively cold all the time, blood flow issues, etc. Your body needs nutrients and stuff to function!
@@maryisazombie Yeah, when I was even just a little bit underweight (side effect of starting a new medication but I bounced back within a month) I very much noticed much, much lower energy levels. And even my normal is quite skinny, and man, I get cold quick lol. I absolutely hate the praising of underweight appearances, it’s horrifying.
As a recovered meth addict, I can say with good confidence that there is nothing desirable, glamorous, or fulfilling about forgetting to eat for days at a time. Even if the reason you're doing it is because you're wearing MaGiC bEaDs, you literally just deteriorate from head to toe. There is nothing sexy or #bossbabe about falling apart from malnutrition. Hon.
Not an addiction but my meds for ADHD are stimulants so therefore appetite suppressants and I have to talk to my doctor every 2 months to get my prescription refilled so that she can check up and make sure im NOT losing weight from taking them. I constantly have to make myself eat and fight the appetite suppression because, this just in, ITS NOT HEALTHY TO NOT EAT. Your body needs food!
@@applecrispies1794shit this is what i struggle with. i had adhd but im so skinny and i got eating disorders which don’t help so i end up having to stay off stimulants for the better
As someone who uses crystals as part of my chosen spirituality, I find it so disgusting that someone is exploiting it for money. Crystals are outrageously cheap. There is no reason why these bracelets need to cost that much. Also, as an aspiring medical student, the false claims that will give people hope are so disgusting. This is the worst person.
She really is. I only started using crystals recently because a friend of mine has been using them forever and i was curious. Both she and I have never tried to scam people out of money or force our belief onto anyone
There's a toy shop on my grandparent's island that sells polished semi-valuable crystals for like 50 cents each. Like, Jasper and Amethysts and quarts. You could make your own version of these bracelets for less than five bucks
She is the Karen to end all Karen’s. Also, have been legitimately heroin skinny. Would not recommend. The life I was living was not worth any weight loss that came with it.
Casey that’s what makes me so fucking angry when ppl talk like that. Nothing about drug addiction is cute or funny. She really thinks she’s so quirky w that shit, it’s disgusting. On another note, congrats on your sobriety and I hope you’re well!
Yep. I'd have to agree. I was giggling along with her tho at the yeah as long as u have no money you can't eat! It is true. But in the worst way possible. This women is repulsive.
I love the "it came from the earth so it must be good for you" fallacy. If anyone needs me I'll be in the woods looking for weird mushrooms - they're natural so they must be good for me! I'll wash them down with some untreated pond water. If I start feeling bad I'll just hold a rock, they can cure anything.
As someone who has an enormous crystal collection and knows more than the average Karen/Kim about them I’m only gonna say it once: gemstones/rocks/crystals/bracelets CAN👏🏻NOT👏🏻 effect physiology to this degree, or really at all. It’s about the psyche and vibes, for a lack of a better word. Also, I‘be been living with sever gastric issues since I was 7 and have always struggled to gain weight. Sometimes the ulcers make it impossible to eat unless I force myself to. My first couple years of college I was always asked to model for art classes because I was, as you reiterated, “heroin skinny.” Some people paid a lot for pieces I was a muse for simply because I looked like an addict and they were into that shit. It’s disgusting. I cannot imagine people with genuine eating disorders finding her video and spending their hard earned money on a scam instead of treatment.
AndBloo I know right?! It’s so upsetting 😕 I have acid reflux disease (not as extreme as it sounds I just get acid reflux a lot more frequently than others) and that can make me not want to eat at all, I’ve heard ulcers are terrible so I can only imagine what you go through!! So sorry to hear that 😔
Thank you for making this point! I work with semi-precious gemstones and beads for a living and this DISGUSTS me. I am the same way with my outlook, it’s about the psyche and vibes. I carry citrine when I want a little more joy. Will it cure my depression? No. Will it bring me a little reminder of what I’m working on in my life and make smile? Yes. People like her a large reason why some people have negative views on anyone who collects or carries crystals.
When I was a little girl I was so anxious, I was so scared something bad would happen to my mum or me, I had undiagnosed OCD - I was about 7 or 8 I think... my mum gave me a rose quartz stone and an amethyst stone and said they represented love, protection etc. and I slept with them under my pillow. And she told me that they would create a protective shield around the whole house so I wouldn’t have to worry and try to stay awake all night ‘protecting’ the house. It was what I *needed* as a child honestly. Clearly crystals don’t actually do that, like they aren’t making some force field around your house lol but as a kid I felt so much safer with my little stones under my pillow. I also had a meditation tape lol cassette tape that my mum let me listen to every single night. I could not fall asleep without that tape. Floating on a cloud... and essential oils/bush flower essences, tapping (you know that tapping thing...? On different points of your body) honestly all of these things were just used by my mum to help me relax and they did obviously. I think it’s safe to say giving a child something that makes them feel safe and protected (almost akin to a stuffed toy...?) and using some lavender spray on the pillow, putting on a mediation tape, some rescue remedy (idc if it’s placebo haha it worked for me as a child) and doing the little tapping routine... just creating a safe feeling, calming environment/routine for bedtime I think was her goal and she didn’t know I had OCD and wasn’t just a bit of an anxious child. It was nice and helpful... the routine and the calmness and that sort of thing. But that is completely different to what this lady is doing lol wtf using stones and oils (safely) to give you a feeling of protection and calmness is absolutely fine. Asking people to spend almost 300 bucks on bracelets that will apparently mimic meth lol and help you starve yourself huh...? That’s not healthy. Again my mum is kinda into this sort of thing. She has some bracelets (handmade by a local woman in her small town lol not this kind of shit) and she’ll put some essential oil on the little beads and whatever and it’s just a calming thing I think. Which I think oils and little routines and rituals like that can definitely be helpful for that sort of thing, just grounding yourself and feeling calmer and relaxed. But like she would never say ‘okay kid, stop taking your meds and slap these beads on your wrist’ like pls. This sort of stuff makes people who just use stones and oils and whatever in normal way (to help relax, wind down, make a calm environment) look like crazy people bc as soon as you say ‘oh I like these stones, I like these bracelets (not bs beads lol), this essential oil smells really nice and helps me wind down in the evening...’ people are like GET AWAY CRAZY PERSON. Bc they just think of all these dumb dangerous people like old mate up here selling magic beads and encouraging people to starve and go off meds and making absolutely ridiculous claims😭😭😭 nooooooo. Why. Stop. I wanna hold my rose quartz and be like mhmmm feeling calm... while I pop some orange & cinnamon oil in my diffuser and make my room smell nice lol and not worry about people thinking I’m an insane person who believe this kinda shit bc for real most people who like stones, oils etc do not believe this crap and hate people who spew this sort of bullshit. Waaaah.
Loved reading your story but I suggest putting some spaces between your paragraphs! It was a lil hard to read in one big chunk. But anyway, I feel quite the same way. Obviously crystals and my homemade oils for the most part don't do anything physical (the oils and such may but even that's minute), but for me personally it's spiritual. I associate quite a few crystals and other things with my deities and often use them for prayer / meditation, which is super normal in other religions and practices? So I never get it when I tell people I work with crystals that I'm like,,,, wack or something. Prolly because of people like this woman in the vid, so absurd and disgusting in all honesty.
@@hollystiener16 its just some fuckin rocks. We as humans want to feel connected to things so in ur case it would be the rock. Even if it doesn't do anything
Legit. When she said "If I have depression" and described what she thought it was like it was very obvious that this woman has never struggled with depression.
I agree. I've been in a funk (while on my antidepressants) and it went away on its own. I'd hazard to say that most humans have "funks". Depression is a full body experience, at least for me!
I would sacrifice some people, like idiots who say Covid can be defeated with crappy products and beads or who say us to gargle cleaning products. Will it defeat the Covid-19? Probably not, but will it make our planet better... hell yeah XD
I'm starting to rethink that stance, particularly after watching this video. I think future archaeologists will miss out on the joy of unearthing bog bodies and that's just unethical of us.
I just want to make a shoutout to Zoloft for relieving my clinical depression 💕✨🥺 (side effects are required to be included in the case that someone is affected by it, and doesn't mean that you are at a high risk for developing them) no amount of yoga, celery water, or anal beads will 'cure' chronic disorders/diseases
Effexor now, and it makes a major improvement in my anxiety. Years ago, zoloft helped with depression. Imo, pretend treatments work well for pretend illnesses. If there is a genuine illness or condition, real is required.
You can literally buy those beads (the “two trios”) or some very similar made of the same stones for $15 when they’re half off at hobby lobby. The price alone is insane.
People like this make people who collect crystals look bad. She is also saying the name of the crystals wrong most of the time so I can't tell what she is going on about.
bridgidthepirateelf I know, right?! I love crystals all around my house because they’re pretty and make me feel good. I don’t try to make them what they’re not, although I respect the belief that they have healing properties (just not selling them at outrageous prices/selling FAKE “crystals”/making ridiculous claims). I do feel positive vibes when I’m home and surrounded by all my rocks and crystals...but I think, like I said, it’s just because I love em and they’re pretty lol.
The only weight loss trio that exists consists of a healthy diet for your body, a regular exercise routine, and consistency. It is not easy, but it works.
It doesn't work for everyone. Our bodies aren't computers. And that's why so many people fall for these scams. Yes some people are lazy and can't be bothered trying the way you described but there still are millions that have tried the way you described for years and it hasn't helped them get their desired results. And that's why they fall for these scams
@@bodyhairpositive9485 no, most people eat way more than they estimate and they also don’t diet properly, eat foods they think are “healthy” but in fact have tons of calories, etc.
@@bodyhairpositive9485 Then they did shit wrong. Since its very rare that you cant loose weight cause of some condition. Like with a lazy office Job sitting around you dont need 2 or 3 full meals every day. When i do close to nothing i usually just it once a day.
@@sueellen360 Like many "light" products. When they remove sugar they add more fat etc. (not everything but alot) and especially in the US where so called Bread (its a disgrace for me as a german to call the american stuff bread) is full of sugar.
straight up AS A FROMER HEROIN ADDICT, I was 89 pounds at age TWENTY FIVE. that is absolutely sick and disgusting and I know it (I've been recovered for years now) but anyway, anyone striving to get to some weight like that as an ADULT is mentally ill and needs to get help. Xoxo
SQUID THE KID Thank you for sharing your story. You deserve to be happy and healthy especially after all of your hard work towards a life of sobriety❤️
Your recovery is inspiring! One of the hardest things to possibly overcome. Good for you 👏 but yes as they teach in AA and narcotics anonymous (as well as alanon, which I attended for a while as a kid) addiction is a disease, so to promote a disease as a desirable thing is absolutely abhorrent
I'm a Vedic shaman, (Brahmin) who traditionally weaves mala beads. These are not meant for physical illness, they are placebo to encourage getting through difficult mental illness and astral entity influence. I'm offended this chick has the audacity to SELL something that is supposed to only be given from priests who bless them. There is 1 negative ionization stone that is so expensive an average person will never get their hands on them. These Mana* crystals they are talking about are probably the *Time Crystal* matter type which is useful...for quantum computers. So unless it's Cyborg from the teen titans, I don't wanna hear from anyone selling me "Mana crystals" 😡😠😤
How she talks about these bracelets "blocking her hunger signals" reminds me of what its like when I have issues with my appetite. Not really feeling hungry, disliking and even feeling nausea when thinking about eating most or all foods, and not wanting to eat. That's not healthy. I was taking some medication that made me lose all my appetite, and my psychiatrist took me off them because I was barely eating anything, and I was upset and uncomfortable. These bracelets, if they work (which they don't), legit sound like they cause you to starve yourself, which is unhealthy.
Yes this! I was on a med for ADHD that suppressed my appetite and it wreaked havoc on my mental health because I would forget to eat and become very irritable and sad
My current physical and mental health situation makes it hard to want food at all. Your story sounds very familiar. As a former fat girl, it's terrifying how I still get the message that it's better not to eat, that others are jealous of it. My current record is 5 days with nothing more than coffee. Do not recommend.
You're great at researching and verifying your sources, not everyone appreciates the Importance of a truly unbiased peer reviewed source. I was a librarian for many years and still work in higher ed. If you ever want help researching anything or need access to articles I'd be happy to help however I can.
Glitterarian THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve been trying to constantly improve my research in a video, the quality and quantity, so your comment means so much to me!!
TO REPORT ILLEGAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY: www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1 Also Shoutout to my brother-in-law for just starting his own TH-cam channel! th-cam.com/video/Cc8BCeTExzU/w-d-xo.html (he’s 11 and created his own channel and it’s adorable- promised him I’d shout him out in a video!) 💜🌟
While I don't think these beads have any medical qualities, the idea that no medical equipment could be pretty is a strange one. AFOs come with patterns. Prosthetic limbs can be made of interesting materials and elaborate shapes. There's inserts for wheelchair wheels, decorative hearing aids, etc etc. Something being pretty doesn't make it unhelpful, medically speaking. People like to wear pretty things.
I even have a cute case for my meds 😄 yes you’re right! I think Madison meant that the medical equipments main purpose is not to be a cute accessory, but maybe it can be an added benefit to it. I saw a lady with a totally blinged out hearing aid today ! Looked cool
I met a woman at work who was a designer and was making a fashion line for prosthetic legs/feet that look like fancy shoes. I didnt know her boots were prosthetics until she told me!
When she called being depressed a «funk» I wanted to yell at her. That kind of trvialising language is so dangrous when you are talking about actuall depression. It makes you think that things are not so bad, which can be straight up dangerous. Jesus uthat hit all my buttons. Otherwise I did enjoy this video, and thank you for continuing to spread light on it. And for protecting the people in her chat.
There’s absolutely no way she’d know that meth and coke are appetite suppressants unless she had experience with them. That’s really not just common knowledge....
@@Courtneyk79 I thought it was common knowledge that cocaine caused appetite suppression, to be honest. However, I did NOT know that meth also caused appetite suppression. Although, apparently my common sense has never kicked in when observing meth addicts! My next statement is not meant to be offensive in any way, but it may come off like that, so for that, I apologize in advance. * I have NEVER seen an obese long term meth addict. Never, not once. I'm talking about the meth addicts that have abused the drug heavily for YEARS... They're always thin, if not 'skinny'... I learned something new today! Although, now it just makes me feel even more bad for addicts... I just wish I could scoop them all up and was rich enough to send them all to the absolute best treatment centers on the planet! Come onnnnnn, Lotto Max!
Why doesn’t she weigh herself if her not eating and losing weight is true? Oh wait, she won’t because she’ll just say “lol, it’s not for me.” So she doesn’t have to prove or demonstrate anything to anyone and only make claims.
It’s so sad because so much of what she says can easily be disproven, but she preys on people desperate to find a solution to problems that don’t have very many solutions (obesity, depression, etc.) 😕
Besides, health isn't necessarily in the kilos or pounds you lose. Some people get heavier with muscle. In general I use performance to measure my clients, can my clients do more push-ups, squats, can they touch their toes? After all, most personal trainers aren't licensed in nutrition, so we're NOT ALLOWED to prescribe food or supplements! KM making claims that sitting around with the world's ugliest bracelets can make you lose weight is frankly wishful thinking.
Carl Sagan wrote a book called "The Demon Haunted World" in which he warned of a time when science is mistrusted and we turn to potions, crystals , and magical thinking. Looks like we've arrived at that era. Also, "before we had manmade medicine" we had lifespans of about 30 years.
As a materials science engineer (part of my curriculum is to study crystalline structures) the vibrational energy that is described there by the science webpage has NOTHING to do with crystals the way KM is describing them.
For millenia, humans relied on nature for their medicine.....and they died by 30. Hell, look at 1920; 100 years ago, the average life expectancy in the US was 53.6 for men, and 54.6 for women. For perspective, for 2020, life expectancy is 78.93. Yeeeeah, I'll keep going to the doctor and wear beads only when it goes with my outfit, thanks.
Human health was a lot poorer and many people died earlier, but average time of death and life expectancy is a highly misleading statistic because of the number of children who died before 5 and the young women who died in their 20s (childbirth) dragging the number down. As long as we have records, if they made it past childhood and childbearing, people generally lived to their 60s or 70s. People were more likely to die young than they are now, but the typical person actually made it pretty long if they lived past 5 or 10. Edit: Not disagreeing with your point of how important modern medicine is, I’m just bringing up that the idea that people routinely barely made it to 30 is a very common myth.
I've been in recovery for a restrictive eating disorder since 2015. Because I was barely eating, my body stopped sending proper hunger signals and I lost the ability to recognize normal hunger cues. When I finally started feeling hungry again, my dietitian and I celebrated! Not having an appetite is NOT HEALTHY! Finally having normal hunger cues was a tribute to my success in treatment. It's disgusting that Kim Marshall is perpetuating the idea that it's good to not feel hungry, because imagine those who may hear that and feel shame for having completely normal hunger cues and responses!
Christina Soisson thank you for commenting this, as I was thinking this exact same thing the entire time. I’m glad to hear someone else understands the feeling of listening to this woman talk about her not having any hunger cues when in reality it’s not the beads at all but more likely the beginning of an unintentional ED, it’s so unhealthy to promote this way of losing weight and ‘gaining health.’ But as Madison said, this is o b s u r d
So well said 👏👏👏 and these supportive comments are bringing me so much joy! Congratulations on your recovery and progress such an incredible achievement! 💜
@@cruelworldhappymind Thank you so much! The support warms my heart as well. I appreciate that you take the time to reply to comments in such a positive way!
I had my ribs show on my chest as well when I was working 10+ hours every day as a waitress and I honestly never felt worse about my look. I was just skin and sharp bones even though I was eating constantly, I was working so much it I could not gain weight. Even wearing a belt hurt because there was just no cushion on my hips.
Since you eaten not enough and/or the right things. Just some chicken breast and a salad is not doing the trick. I remember when i started my training as a plumber here in germany i lost weight like crazy since i was fresh out of school and ate 3-4 breads in the morning in between some chocolate candy stuff and in the evening the usual stuff. i doubled my calorine intake and could keep my weight on a stable level.
I wear similar stone bracelets every single day, I got them at a spirit fair. In my heart, I like to believe they work. But my problem with Bombshell Beads is their outrageous prices. That’s the scammiest part about all of this. Stone bracelets are never worth more than $15 AT THE MOST
No matter how much you like them- those bracelets are about $2-$4 EACH by buying the beads and elastic on wholesale gem websites. Half those "polished stone bracelets"- are GLASS or cheap dyed quartz. It's such a sham...
Even bracelets that are made of semi-precious / precious stones and minerals shouldn't be more than like,,,, MAYBE $30 - $60 - and I would ONLY pay that much if it was made by a local business (because ik buying stones and beads can be pretty expensive for smaller businesses) if I liked them enough >
I highly doubt that. She doesnt have a good enough heart to do that. No, she is evil. She is heartless. She is cold. She would have to be court ordered to give it back to even consider it and even then her snake ass would try to slither through some loophole in the law. Despicable human being, she is.
She didn't. Told the tribe to contact their own local police if they wanted to and claimed she was working closely w law enforcement. That was 6 months ago. Never mentioned again.
Molly O'Connor 🤦♀️🤦♀️😕😕 this lady is so offensive to those who are struggling with real life issues- makes me feel like she’s never experienced any hardship whatsoever so she’s become completely out of touch with reality
I would just like to say Thank you. I have a son who is a high functioning autistic and was convinced that these "Magic Beads" would help him. I showed him your video and how honest you are and it saved him a lot of money.
I had to start taking medication that has appetite loss as a side effect. It's not that great. Eating became a chore. Food I used to love, started to disgust me. I couldn't eat enough to keep myself healthy long term. I'm just saying, if her tacky bracelet made her feel the way I felt, she wouldn't brag about it
Yeah I thought about making some sort of a tacky joke abt my chronic digestive illnesses acting as hunger and absorbtion suppressants, but I just couldnt think about anything really funny on it? It's mostly just frustrating tbh... On another note, I hope you are doing OK! side effects suck a lot :-/
Yep. I had hyperemesis gravidarum (very severe “morning sickness” ) when I was pregnant and when I wasn’t nauseated, I still never had an appetite. Eating foods I normally liked was like eating sawdust. It was awful. I mostly tried to eat things I could drink because I could chug it down in a couple minutes, instead of endlessly chewing on what seemed like a cardboard sandwich.
"Stones have frequency" as a geologist, I AM PISSED. Not just that, crystals are beautiful geologically and it's getting a bad reputation because of these people and I hate that more than anything
I used to model when I was in high school and that “heroin chic” look is a real thing my agency said they wanted me to loose weight to achieve that look and I was only 139 lbs at 5ft 11inches you could already see rib.. needless to say I do not model anymore and look and feel healthier
Yes it’s so sad 😞 I’m so sorry you went through that I know how you feel... my brother almost got into modeling too and I begged him not to go down that route- a lot of people think men have it easier but I would say men can have it worse in the modeling industry, imo. The same social pressures, the same pressure to lose weight and the weird “sexual abuse” that goes on yet male models get no sympathy in the industry and it’s upsetting to me
I had a modeling agency that wanted to sign me in high school when i was 5'10" and ~120 lbs. But they wanted me to lose a little weight. Never went back. Just ick.
To give another perspective for you, I'm a practicing witch. And I love crystals. But like the majority of witches, I'd point out that crystals are not where you start with when it comes to health. That starts with doctors first--licensed therapists if it's a mental health issue. If you find crystals help in the process of what you do, then awesome, but trying to promote them as something that will protect you from the unnameable virus is appallingly irresponsible. And while they can be a pretty penny for certain kinds, sizes and cuts, those don't look to be uncommon crystals. Even if you're looking for ethically sourced stuff, a piece of Tigers Eye isn't that difficult to purchase for a cheaper price. (And realistically speaking a single piece to a purpose will do.) Ultimately this just screams greed with no morals, or greed with delusion.
Agreed >< I hate that these kinds of people make us all look like nuts. Crystals, herbs, oils, etc and practing with them is purely spiritual and can be likened to prayer / reading religious texts in other practices at MOST
Broooo the depression argument is so dumb. I have depression and yes my medication comes with side affects, but ill take those over wanting to off myself every day. Stopping my medication and relying heavily on crystals will have a side affect called worsening depression. 🙄 I hate this lady. Update: I just got to the part where Madison Googles untreated depression and she pretty much said the same thing. Glad we're on the same page🙌🏻
I just want to point out, as someone who loves gemstones, how inexpensive it is to make your own bracelets. Today, for example, I made a kunzite bracelet. It cost me $5.00 for the supplies. Two larimar nugget bracelets, also about $5 each. Etsy is a great source for gemstone beads. Don’t buy into Kim’s BS! Gemstones do have energy, they cannot, however, change your life nor cure illness. Btw, I’m looking at her “tourmaline” beads. They are FAKE! Omg, WHY???? That is an inexpensive gemstone! Real tourmalated quartz has black needles going through it, not PAINTED on. That’s just disgusting, period. Tiger’s eye is dirt cheap. Genuine gemstones can CERTAINLY get wet
okay this is going to be one of those times I probably comment multiple times. I'm like halfway through right now and had to comment a couple things before I forget: 1. Having done theater (and you probably know this too from modeling) ANYONE can get their "collarbone poppin" if they pose the right way and/or use the right kind of contour (and you can tell from her pics and videos that whatever else is happening here, she definitely knows how to use highlighter, contour, and bronzer!) 2. I take adderall for my ADHD and have for almost a year. I really hate her talking about meth and heroin because people compare adderall to those things sometimes and will say things like "oh will adderall make you really skinny? I wish I could go on adderall" and like...no? It CAN suppress appetite but it isn't going to make you underweight by itself unless you're taking too high a dosage. And no, you should not take it for weight loss and yes, stimulants have legit uses, and...UGH.
Elizabeth Lorraine Mitchell YES! Preach girl! That’s the funniest part, our body shape can be easily manipulated for a photo, but the most important lesson I learned in modeling is that the truly radiant and beautiful people weren’t a specific size, but instead had a magnetic personality, joy and a glowing smile (aka, it’s what’s on the inside that counts!!)
Started wearing these beads and stopped taking my epilepsy medication 😋✌ Sure, I have at least one seizure every other day, but at least I'm healthy and natural 🙄
My entire time growing up my mom believed in things like this, to the point where we didn't go to the doctor. I really think that if you do practice these things, they should only be used after medical help. It's always come off as wild to me that these people are really just out here scamming people.
I’ve recently established a veggie garden in my back yard and I really want a good harvest . BRB imma sacrifice a few people because the Aztec’s used to do it to ensure a good harvest so it must work .
As someone who has struggled with depression for years, I can confirm that when you are feeling out of options, you'll try just about anything. And to have someone prey on that, knowing full well what they are pandering is garbage, is despicable. Thanks for being outraged over this. Someone needs to be.
Modelling agencies are so dangerous, especially for girls who are so young. I really hope they didn’t mess you up too bad. You seem really sensible and level headed and gorgeous and healthy so I hope you didn’t struggle with body issues or eating disorders. Great video, respectful and informative as always 😊💕
“Shamans, healers, things from the earth”- I keep thinking of it and laughing. Keep up the great work! Entertaining and informative. Thanks for being 10/10.
I remember the first scandal. I agree she needs shut down and I love that I've found you! I love how you are being honest and trying to help others understand how predatory mlm and just sellers can be. Keep them coming! We have to reach as many people as possible. Thanks for doing these!
It's sad that she's capitalising on women's insecurities obviously, but I find myself quite disappointed by her use of the placebo effect on the public as well. If you really want to lose weight, and you really believe this woman's claims, and you buy one of these bracelets, you put it on and you believe it to be working, your mind will do the rest. It's just the placebo effect, a well documented phenomenon, and one already used all the time in advertising, especially within the wellness sector. PS, as a former addict, the "cocaine meth" comment was something I found particularly disgusting.
Howdy. Fellow former addict turned medical student here. Congratulations on your recovery. And you're exactly right. One thing you don't hear about is that a big feature of the Placebo Effect is that it's temporary and usually dissipates in 6-8 weeks. It's also subject to self-fulfilling prophecy and confirmation bias. Forgive the joke, but as far as weight loss goes, the meth is cheaper and more effective... lol. Anyway, best wishes for the future and keep your head up.
There are certain TH-camrs who actually educate and bring awareness to all the ways people use , manipulate and control weaker and more vulnerable people with misinformation and other vile tactics. You are one of those TH-camrs thank you
16:28 looks like plastic beads with a cover to make it look like real stones.....also I think there having these beads mass produced for basically nothing and selling them for crazy prices... I'm appolled she hasn't been sued for this or at least investageted for false medical clams and for her scams....also that tan is cultural appropriation to me.....it's like she's trying to be a different race...so yah. ( Yes I was trying to a cosplay in my pic, I do not dress like this every day. ....)
I love that you brought out logical fallacies and explained them to your viewers! There are dozens of logical fallacies that people use every day, especially politicians and other people in positions of power
i really appreciate you calling out cultural appropriation!! i would also like to add that anyone who just refers to "native american culture" in a broad stroke is suspicious as fuck. we aren't a monolith and it shows a lack of knowledge of indigenous peoples when someone just lumps an entire continent worth of people as one culture
Ik! I don’t know what to do besides talk about these things, report these actions and encourage others to do so... just so disheartening to see her get away with al of this..
I love your videos. You seem very honest and genuinely good hearted, which seems hard to find. I’ve pretty much been watching your videos, exclusively, for a good bit now, I’ve even rewatched multiple videos. I’m broke and this is what I can do! I hope you and yours are doing well.
You have become one of my favorite people. I want to praise you on your understanding and knowledge on the topics you present. Your ability to convey not just your opinion but factual information with such respect truly impresses me. Many in your position can misuse their position to rile people up, sway the opinion of their audience or go in depth on the more torrid/graphic details of the stories their review for views. I tip my hat to you and thank you for being someone others should emulate amd becoming a bright spot on my day. I thank you and wish you every joy in life!
Laughing at her "intellectual" look so hard. xD If she wants to go about ancient Greece, Lucian wrote a satire on people who fake intellectuals. (Well, philosophers actually.) He wrote how they carefully arrange their looks in order to appear like they didn't pay attention to how they look like. Never seen such a thing in real life before this. Also as a person with multiple allergies, part of them severe, I find it so irritating when people talk about nature being all good and stuff. Nature sometimes just wants to kill you. x) Eggs, ginger, turmeric, pineapples, water melon, just really really bad for the health - if you happen to be allergic.
The types of rocks and minerals in these beads are so painfully common. Like you could find them in landscaping. Hearing how much they are charging for these beads physically hurts my brain
For real!!!!! I went to South Carolina and spent $20 to dig all day at the Diamond Hill mine and I left with buckets full of crystals..... could easily profit off it lmao but...they're all mine >:) Claim something has magical properties and you can upcharge it BIG
@Chelsea Thibodeau “Claim something has magical properties and you can upcharge it BIG.” I’m pretty sure that’s Gwenyth Paltrow’s business model for Goop.
All these "testimonials" about how appetites are suppressed with the beads, and the one thought going through my mind is, "Yeah, my depression does the SAME THING! How crazy is that?"
Life With the Moaks. BOOM FACTS! Anytime upsetting situations occur i’m the same. Its like my body turns off a switch and i don’t want food. People would say, girl you better eat something. Or, wish i could lose that much weight. I told them jokingly - do you want my problems ?
@@2TexasTuff I’ve recently been praised for losing weight. When asked what I did, I told them that I can go months at a time without wanting food. I’ll only eat because I have to have something in my stomach to survive. I wish it was different.
Hearing her glorify addiction is SO messed up to me! Yeah Kim, I WAS heroin skinny but my teeth are also ruined, my hair was falling out in clumps and I also lost my will to live, but hey, I WAS SKINNY!! Is this lady for real?!? Using addiction to sell her "magic beans" I mean "magic beads" is a step too far in my book! Just an aside, I am almost 5 years clean!!!
As a biochemistry student who just had a breakdown because of having a chemistry exam tomorrow concerning microscopical energy exchanges within particles aka the vibrations she’s talking about. It’s hilarious to hear her understanding about “a crystal energy coat” being able to solve your life problems and cause weight loss. It’s sad that a lot of people have to put their life into studying and analyzing really hard subjects just for a pseudoscientific person to come and easily earn money by misinforming people.
The weight loss beads are creating a placebo effect, making it seem like you don't feel hungry when really you do. She's deadass promoting magical ed's
This woman sounds crazy and she looks like an Oompa Loompa with that spray tan. With that being said I really hope the people that donated for those girls headstones got some kind of closure to that situation
The way Kim prays on people whilst pretending to care about their issues, that’s exactly the kind of person I avoid, you can see them from a distance trying to convince everyone they’re not a bad person, like sis just stop. We see through you.
Isn't it funny how these types of scammers always put so much effort into trying to make others believe their pathological lies about their "good" front?! It's hilarious to me.
Now, when medical equipment tries "to look nice", it usually means "be as discreet as possible without impairing function. I'm especially thinking of diabetes devices and hearing aids
I remember a kids show I used to watch (talking cats in China..I was bored) and there was a nanny who had a special necklace saying that it grants every wish or something like that. Kittens steal it and they find out that they are able to do their skills or hobbies better than before. In the end, it was ultimately them believing that they can do better. She believes the bracelets help when its basically her own will power.
I really think people like this want to be witches but are afraid to just commit. Like all the stone-based healing and all that is super common in pagan religions (and that's fine, because it's presented in that way) but it's like these people don't want to commit to that belief system so instead they try to claim there's some sort of science behind it. EDIT: And I realize you actually say that in the video (I did the cardinal sin of commenting before watching the whole thing oops!)
I have been saying this for a long time now. Witches don't even have to be just pagan/polytheists, they can be Christian/Catholic, Secular, etc. So you can keep your Christian faith and be the witch you always wanted to be.
@@Victoria-jd1dx I follow plenty of Catholic witches on Tumblr who would (politely) disagree with you on that one. They even have FAQs on why and how it's possible.
@@cunningtricksterrabbit could you name some of them? I'm pretty sure practicing witchcraft is explicitly forbidden in the ten commandments. Just curious on how they make it work not to go against their religious scriptures.
Something thing I saw: someone showed proof that her bracelets came from Ally express. I can’t remember what video it was but it’s definitely here on TH-cam.
I can make the beads that lady sells for a few dollars. The stones aren’t rare like they claim. A few stones are rare but not hers. So ally express and even eBay sells the bracelets she sells. I bet Amazon does too.
Oddly enough, I'm in health care and also make jewlery. This stuff just makes my blood boil. There are studies and videos out there where these crystals have been tested in labs and they're completely inert. No electromagnetic fields, no ions created, just stones. Also, the beads may be "real" as in actually quartz, amethyst, turquoise, etc. buy they're no doubt grown in the lab. Therefore the beads are worth nowhere near the price they're being sold for. At best they're worth about $0.01-$0.05 a piece. Edit: References to things like TCM or Native American shaman are "appeals to antiquity."
I hate how people like this romanticize and promote the suppression of appetite like it’s a good thing? I take medication that has hunger suppression as a side effect and while it helps a lot with the condition it is designed to treat, the hunger suppression has impacted my life in a lot of ways. It’s not a good thing to not feel hungry because you need to eat to feel okay and be healthy. When you feel like you physically can’t eat on a regular basis you lose weight sure; but you also don’t fuel your body enough most of the time even if you want to and it affects your mood, your energy levels, your stress, everything. Stop. Promoting. Disordered. Eating. As. A. Weight. Loss. Technique.
when she tried to explain the stones power through vIbRaTiOnAl EnErGy, she sounded like a middle schooler trying to explain something they clearly didnt understand.
“Before we had man made medicine what did we have?” Mass outbreaks of syphilis, Kim, mass outbreaks of syphilis.
plague and tuberculosis and mountains of dead people, kim
Incredibly high infant and child mortality is what we had, Kim
Shorter life expectancy, Kim.
Oh you non believers! Don't you know that it's enough to wear only three trios of these bracelets and it will treat syphilis, plauge and measles! WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS! 🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦
Mass deaths due to diseases/ infections that are perfectly curable now, Kim.
LMAO of course there's no side effects, Kim! In order for there to be side effects, there would have TO BE AN EFFECT TO BEGIN WITH!
Yesss ❤
Got em
They are told "no side effects" so they don't expect any, and don't get any. Interestingly enough, a product with no effects whatsoever can also create imagined side effects if the person believes it to be harmful. It's called the nocebo effect.
😂
Thank you.

You'd think that if these crystals worked, I, as a geologist who is surrounded by them, would be the calmest and most healthy person alive.
(Spoiler: I'm not)
I’m just imagining a very tired geologist draining their 6th cup of coffee while watching a crystal seller talk at them about how the tourmaline or w/e they’ve been working with for weeks would help their insomnia, with blank and annoyed eyes.
Agreed, the geologist I've known have been the most panicked people alive.
how come?
@@HonestMagpie 😂😵
I surround myself with crystals and being honest they do make me feel calmer. But that's because I put my intention for them to. They help me spiritually not physically. Crystals are not a magic solution to all your problems you need to actually put in the work and the crystal is a physical representation of that work

I love when people compare "man made medicine" to "what the earth gave us." Where do people think men are getting the ingredients to make medicine? I'll give you a hint. Not Mars.

This sounds a LOT like these huns saying "yuCK! cHemIcALs aRe HarMfuL!!" Bitch, everything is made up of chemicals.
I'm dying this is so funny.
Exactly!! Thats what i always tell them as well!
Man made food too. Ingredients come from the earth. Is KM telling us to just eat raw plants, meat, etc???
As a person battling an eating disorder, I see so many issues with the hunger suppressant claims.
Seriously. You're supposed to be hungry! That's your body telling you to eat, which you NEED TO DO TO LIVE.
Same! Feeling hunger is a good thing! It's something I've internalized so much in treatment for my ED and I wanted to yell at KM through the screen for implying having no appetite is a good thing.
Wishing you all the best as you deal with your ED. Keep strong 🧡💛
So much of everything she said was so fucked up! I hope you are in recovery and doing well. My son has been having some very unhealthy ideas about eating and weight lately and it’s so hard.

I'm an ex heroin addict, I've been clean for 8 months now. And it really disgusts me how "heroin chic" is a thing. Heroin kills, and ruins lives. It just grosses me out the way the media portrays drugs, and addiction. Love you Madison!!

Proud of you! I have 18 months clean and totally agree with what you said.
When she says "harvard" she means there's a lady with the last name Harvard in Massachusetts, probably named Jenny that did the research by picking up each stone and 'feeling' it. She is an alternative healer and has her own practice in her basement. So she's practically a PHD.
Wowww that’s sad
Did this woman actually just say “you know like how when people are *strung out on meth and cocaine* & they get really skinny?” 😩😩
She did. 🙄
WILD 💀
I like the way she says “everything God makes is perfect and he doesn’t make mistakes”, yet she’s wearing glasses and feels the need to dye her skin orange. 🤔

This scientific evidence is so compelling that I’m going to go throw away all my skirts and dresses right now so I never have to risk driving without pants!
....wait. Do leggings count as pants or do I have to throw those out too?
Should I just go the safest route and wear the exact same brand, color, cut, and size as you?
😂 LOL!
As someone who has struggled with addiction, trust me, being "heroin skinny" is not something that is desirable. When you are constantly throwing up and your body is shutting down on you, but you're so physically dependant on it that you can't stop even though you want to with everything in your being ... Not cute. These people are trash.
People also don’t realize being super skinny is uncomfortable too. You can experience things like being excessively cold all the time, blood flow issues, etc. Your body needs nutrients and stuff to function!
🥰🥰😘
Praying u r still in recovery & finding freedom
@@maryisazombie Yeah, when I was even just a little bit underweight (side effect of starting a new medication but I bounced back within a month) I very much noticed much, much lower energy levels. And even my normal is quite skinny, and man, I get cold quick lol. I absolutely hate the praising of underweight appearances, it’s horrifying.
yep. i was ‘meth skinny’ at one point in my life and i can promise that NO ONE wants to look like that.
As a person who is in recovery I'm SO glad you said something!
As a recovered meth addict, I can say with good confidence that there is nothing desirable, glamorous, or fulfilling about forgetting to eat for days at a time. Even if the reason you're doing it is because you're wearing MaGiC bEaDs, you literally just deteriorate from head to toe. There is nothing sexy or #bossbabe about falling apart from malnutrition. Hon.
As someone in the same position many years ago - I AGREE
Not an addiction but my meds for ADHD are stimulants so therefore appetite suppressants and I have to talk to my doctor every 2 months to get my prescription refilled so that she can check up and make sure im NOT losing weight from taking them. I constantly have to make myself eat and fight the appetite suppression because, this just in, ITS NOT HEALTHY TO NOT EAT. Your body needs food!
@@applecrispies1794shit this is what i struggle with. i had adhd but im so skinny and i got eating disorders which don’t help so i end up having to stay off stimulants for the better
As someone who uses crystals as part of my chosen spirituality, I find it so disgusting that someone is exploiting it for money. Crystals are outrageously cheap. There is no reason why these bracelets need to cost that much. Also, as an aspiring medical student, the false claims that will give people hope are so disgusting. This is the worst person.
She really is. I only started using crystals recently because a friend of mine has been using them forever and i was curious. Both she and I have never tried to scam people out of money or force our belief onto anyone
There's a toy shop on my grandparent's island that sells polished semi-valuable crystals for like 50 cents each. Like, Jasper and Amethysts and quarts. You could make your own version of these bracelets for less than five bucks
i love the balance you have of being spiritual w the crystals but also interested in real healthcare- im the same way. its the best way to live!!!
She is the Karen to end all Karen’s. Also, have been legitimately heroin skinny. Would not recommend. The life I was living was not worth any weight loss that came with it.
Casey that’s what makes me so fucking angry when ppl talk like that. Nothing about drug addiction is cute or funny. She really thinks she’s so quirky w that shit, it’s disgusting. On another note, congrats on your sobriety and I hope you’re well!
I was addicted to heroin and it made me lose weight but I've never been skinny. But I'm glad I've put that life behind me. I'm 8 months clean so far
Yep. I'd have to agree. I was giggling along with her tho at the yeah as long as u have no money you can't eat! It is true. But in the worst way possible. This women is repulsive.

@@kelsey2333 I'm proud of you! God Bless you, too. Stay Strong!!
I love the "it came from the earth so it must be good for you" fallacy. If anyone needs me I'll be in the woods looking for weird mushrooms - they're natural so they must be good for me! I'll wash them down with some untreated pond water. If I start feeling bad I'll just hold a rock, they can cure anything.
Emily Hemphill Mercury must be good for us too .. let’s drink it !! Haha
You joke about pond water but have you heard about the raw water craze that went around a few years ago? Entertaining but horrifying stuff, ugh.
Even better if that healing rock has arsenic or asbestos in/on it. Try licking it for extra healing.
The sun is natural and it likes to roast me alive...
There's a mushroom that is enough feed you for the rest of your life after eating it once...
As someone who has an enormous crystal collection and knows more than the average Karen/Kim about them I’m only gonna say it once: gemstones/rocks/crystals/bracelets CAN👏🏻NOT👏🏻 effect physiology to this degree, or really at all. It’s about the psyche and vibes, for a lack of a better word.
Also, I‘be been living with sever gastric issues since I was 7 and have always struggled to gain weight. Sometimes the ulcers make it impossible to eat unless I force myself to. My first couple years of college I was always asked to model for art classes because I was, as you reiterated, “heroin skinny.” Some people paid a lot for pieces I was a muse for simply because I looked like an addict and they were into that shit. It’s disgusting. I cannot imagine people with genuine eating disorders finding her video and spending their hard earned money on a scam instead of treatment.
AndBloo I know right?! It’s so upsetting 😕 I have acid reflux disease (not as extreme as it sounds I just get acid reflux a lot more frequently than others) and that can make me not want to eat at all, I’ve heard ulcers are terrible so I can only imagine what you go through!! So sorry to hear that 😔
Thank you for making this point! I work with semi-precious gemstones and beads for a living and this DISGUSTS me. I am the same way with my outlook, it’s about the psyche and vibes. I carry citrine when I want a little more joy. Will it cure my depression? No. Will it bring me a little reminder of what I’m working on in my life and make smile? Yes. People like her a large reason why some people have negative views on anyone who collects or carries crystals.
THIIIIS, this is exactly how I feel about crystal healing.
@@cruelworldhappymind I use bakensoda and water it works fpr Me but Everyone is different
I have a huge collection too and I love my crystals so much and you are 10000000% right on this!
When I was a little girl I was so anxious, I was so scared something bad would happen to my mum or me, I had undiagnosed OCD - I was about 7 or 8 I think... my mum gave me a rose quartz stone and an amethyst stone and said they represented love, protection etc. and I slept with them under my pillow. And she told me that they would create a protective shield around the whole house so I wouldn’t have to worry and try to stay awake all night ‘protecting’ the house. It was what I *needed* as a child honestly. Clearly crystals don’t actually do that, like they aren’t making some force field around your house lol but as a kid I felt so much safer with my little stones under my pillow. I also had a meditation tape lol cassette tape that my mum let me listen to every single night. I could not fall asleep without that tape. Floating on a cloud... and essential oils/bush flower essences, tapping (you know that tapping thing...? On different points of your body) honestly all of these things were just used by my mum to help me relax and they did obviously. I think it’s safe to say giving a child something that makes them feel safe and protected (almost akin to a stuffed toy...?) and using some lavender spray on the pillow, putting on a mediation tape, some rescue remedy (idc if it’s placebo haha it worked for me as a child) and doing the little tapping routine... just creating a safe feeling, calming environment/routine for bedtime I think was her goal and she didn’t know I had OCD and wasn’t just a bit of an anxious child. It was nice and helpful... the routine and the calmness and that sort of thing. But that is completely different to what this lady is doing lol wtf using stones and oils (safely) to give you a feeling of protection and calmness is absolutely fine. Asking people to spend almost 300 bucks on bracelets that will apparently mimic meth lol and help you starve yourself huh...? That’s not healthy. Again my mum is kinda into this sort of thing. She has some bracelets (handmade by a local woman in her small town lol not this kind of shit) and she’ll put some essential oil on the little beads and whatever and it’s just a calming thing I think. Which I think oils and little routines and rituals like that can definitely be helpful for that sort of thing, just grounding yourself and feeling calmer and relaxed. But like she would never say ‘okay kid, stop taking your meds and slap these beads on your wrist’ like pls. This sort of stuff makes people who just use stones and oils and whatever in normal way (to help relax, wind down, make a calm environment) look like crazy people bc as soon as you say ‘oh I like these stones, I like these bracelets (not bs beads lol), this essential oil smells really nice and helps me wind down in the evening...’ people are like GET AWAY CRAZY PERSON. Bc they just think of all these dumb dangerous people like old mate up here selling magic beads and encouraging people to starve and go off meds and making absolutely ridiculous claims😭😭😭 nooooooo. Why. Stop. I wanna hold my rose quartz and be like mhmmm feeling calm... while I pop some orange & cinnamon oil in my diffuser and make my room smell nice lol and not worry about people thinking I’m an insane person who believe this kinda shit bc for real most people who like stones, oils etc do not believe this crap and hate people who spew this sort of bullshit. Waaaah.
Loved reading your story but I suggest putting some spaces between your paragraphs! It was a lil hard to read in one big chunk.
But anyway, I feel quite the same way. Obviously crystals and my homemade oils for the most part don't do anything physical (the oils and such may but even that's minute), but for me personally it's spiritual. I associate quite a few crystals and other things with my deities and often use them for prayer / meditation, which is super normal in other religions and practices? So I never get it when I tell people I work with crystals that I'm like,,,, wack or something.

Congratulations! :)
Your recovery is inspiring! One of the hardest things to possibly overcome. Good for you 👏 but yes as they teach in AA and narcotics anonymous (as well as alanon, which I attended for a while as a kid) addiction is a disease, so to promote a disease as a desirable thing is absolutely abhorrent
I'm a Vedic shaman, (Brahmin) who traditionally weaves mala beads.
These are not meant for physical illness, they are placebo to encourage getting through difficult mental illness and astral entity influence.
I'm offended this chick has the audacity to SELL something that is supposed to only be given from priests who bless them.
There is 1 negative ionization stone that is so expensive an average person will never get their hands on them.
These Mana* crystals they are talking about are probably the *Time Crystal* matter type which is useful...for quantum computers. So unless it's Cyborg from the teen titans, I don't wanna hear from anyone selling me "Mana crystals"
😡😠😤
How she talks about these bracelets "blocking her hunger signals" reminds me of what its like when I have issues with my appetite. Not really feeling hungry, disliking and even feeling nausea when thinking about eating most or all foods, and not wanting to eat. That's not healthy. I was taking some medication that made me lose all my appetite, and my psychiatrist took me off them because I was barely eating anything, and I was upset and uncomfortable. These bracelets, if they work (which they don't), legit sound like they cause you to starve yourself, which is unhealthy.
Yes this! I was on a med for ADHD that suppressed my appetite and it wreaked havoc on my mental health because I would forget to eat and become very irritable and sad
Saaaaaame, it sucks so bad. I just want to enjoy some food in peace!
My current physical and mental health situation makes it hard to want food at all. Your story sounds very familiar.
As a former fat girl, it's terrifying how I still get the message that it's better not to eat, that others are jealous of it. My current record is 5 days with nothing more than coffee. Do not recommend.
I’ve had actual meth dealers more respectful & honest than Kim.

Wait. There’s an MLM for those beads? Does anyone remember when they were super popular in the early 00s? They were like $5
While I don't think these beads have any medical qualities, the idea that no medical equipment could be pretty is a strange one. AFOs come with patterns. Prosthetic limbs can be made of interesting materials and elaborate shapes. There's inserts for wheelchair wheels, decorative hearing aids, etc etc. Something being pretty doesn't make it unhelpful, medically speaking. People like to wear pretty things.
I even have a cute case for my meds 😄 yes you’re right! I think Madison meant that the medical equipments main purpose is not to be a cute accessory, but maybe it can be an added benefit to it. I saw a lady with a totally blinged out hearing aid today ! Looked cool
I met a woman at work who was a designer and was making a fashion line for prosthetic legs/feet that look like fancy shoes. I didnt know her boots were prosthetics until she told me!
When she called being depressed a «funk» I wanted to yell at her. That kind of trvialising language is so dangrous when you are talking about actuall depression. It makes you think that things are not so bad, which can be straight up dangerous. Jesus uthat hit all my buttons. Otherwise I did enjoy this video, and thank you for continuing to spread light on it. And for protecting the people in her chat.
Yeah - that hacked me off!
She literally just said “meth and cocaine” .. I’m shooketh
Diane Hensley 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I was so shocked
Right? Like does she think that's relatable? Love that she followed that up with 'I've never done it' too.
There’s absolutely no way she’d know that meth and coke are appetite suppressants unless she had experience with them. That’s really not just common knowledge....
@@Courtneyk79 idk I've heard that, I've know that for years, saw it on a crime show or something when I was young
@@Courtneyk79 I thought it was common knowledge that cocaine caused appetite suppression, to be honest. However, I did NOT know that meth also caused appetite suppression. Although, apparently my common sense has never kicked in when observing meth addicts! My next statement is not meant to be offensive in any way, but it may come off like that, so for that, I apologize in advance. * I have NEVER seen an obese long term meth addict. Never, not once. I'm talking about the meth addicts that have abused the drug heavily for YEARS... They're always thin, if not 'skinny'... I learned something new today! Although, now it just makes me feel even more bad for addicts... I just wish I could scoop them all up and was rich enough to send them all to the absolute best treatment centers on the planet! Come onnnnnn, Lotto Max!
Why doesn’t she weigh herself if her not eating and losing weight is true? Oh wait, she won’t because she’ll just say “lol, it’s not for me.” So she doesn’t have to prove or demonstrate anything to anyone and only make claims.
It’s so sad because so much of what she says can easily be disproven, but she preys on people desperate to find a solution to problems that don’t have very many solutions (obesity, depression, etc.) 😕
Besides, health isn't necessarily in the kilos or pounds you lose. Some people get heavier with muscle. In general I use performance to measure my clients, can my clients do more push-ups, squats, can they touch their toes? After all, most personal trainers aren't licensed in nutrition, so we're NOT ALLOWED to prescribe food or supplements! KM making claims that sitting around with the world's ugliest bracelets can make you lose weight is frankly wishful thinking.
They've been selling those beads at the nail salon for like $2 - $5 each since the freaking 90s. 😂
Carl Sagan wrote a book called "The Demon Haunted World" in which he warned of a time when science is mistrusted and we turn to potions, crystals , and magical thinking.
Looks like we've arrived at that era.
Also, "before we had manmade medicine" we had lifespans of about 30 years.
As a materials science engineer (part of my curriculum is to study crystalline structures) the vibrational energy that is described there by the science webpage has NOTHING to do with crystals the way KM is describing them.

For millenia, humans relied on nature for their medicine.....and they died by 30. Hell, look at 1920; 100 years ago, the average life expectancy in the US was 53.6 for men, and 54.6 for women. For perspective, for 2020, life expectancy is 78.93. Yeeeeah, I'll keep going to the doctor and wear beads only when it goes with my outfit, thanks.
Yes!!!
Human health was a lot poorer and many people died earlier, but average time of death and life expectancy is a highly misleading statistic because of the number of children who died before 5 and the young women who died in their 20s (childbirth) dragging the number down. As long as we have records, if they made it past childhood and childbearing, people generally lived to their 60s or 70s. People were more likely to die young than they are now, but the typical person actually made it pretty long if they lived past 5 or 10.
Edit: Not disagreeing with your point of how important modern medicine is, I’m just bringing up that the idea that people routinely barely made it to 30 is a very common myth.
Wurdnurd's Guide to Life 👏🏻 👏🏻 well said
Yesss!! Louder for the people in the back lmao
Yes!!! When she said that, that’s exactly what I thought!!!!
I've been in recovery for a restrictive eating disorder since 2015. Because I was barely eating, my body stopped sending proper hunger signals and I lost the ability to recognize normal hunger cues. When I finally started feeling hungry again, my dietitian and I celebrated! Not having an appetite is NOT HEALTHY! Finally having normal hunger cues was a tribute to my success in treatment. It's disgusting that Kim Marshall is perpetuating the idea that it's good to not feel hungry, because imagine those who may hear that and feel shame for having completely normal hunger cues and responses!
Congrats on your progress and success, btw. That's awesome
@@AD_AP_T Thank you so much, you are so sweet!
Christina Soisson thank you for commenting this, as I was thinking this exact same thing the entire time. I’m glad to hear someone else understands the feeling of listening to this woman talk about her not having any hunger cues when in reality it’s not the beads at all but more likely the beginning of an unintentional ED, it’s so unhealthy to promote this way of losing weight and ‘gaining health.’ But as Madison said, this is o b s u r d
So well said 👏👏👏 and these supportive comments are bringing me so much joy! Congratulations on your recovery and progress such an incredible achievement! 💜
@@cruelworldhappymind Thank you so much! The support warms my heart as well. I appreciate that you take the time to reply to comments in such a positive way!
I had my ribs show on my chest as well when I was working 10+ hours every day as a waitress and I honestly never felt worse about my look. I was just skin and sharp bones even though I was eating constantly, I was working so much it I could not gain weight. Even wearing a belt hurt because there was just no cushion on my hips.
Since you eaten not enough and/or the right things. Just some chicken breast and a salad is not doing the trick.
I remember when i started my training as a plumber here in germany i lost weight like crazy since i was fresh out of school and ate 3-4 breads in the morning in between some chocolate candy stuff and in the evening the usual stuff. i doubled my calorine intake and could keep my weight on a stable level.
You can buy ANY of those EXACT beaded bracelets on amazon, or many other sites, for literally $8. 🙄
I wear similar stone bracelets every single day, I got them at a spirit fair. In my heart, I like to believe they work. But my problem with Bombshell Beads is their outrageous prices. That’s the scammiest part about all of this. Stone bracelets are never worth more than $15 AT THE MOST
Totally agree!! 🌟
I wear beads bracelets like this that I got on Ebay for like $10 each. I don't believe in the claims, but I sure like how they look.
No matter how much you like them- those bracelets are about $2-$4 EACH by buying the beads and elastic on wholesale gem websites. Half those "polished stone bracelets"- are GLASS or cheap dyed quartz. It's such a sham...
Same I bought a stone bracelet for like 12 dollars and that’s as expensive as it got
Even bracelets that are made of semi-precious / precious stones and minerals shouldn't be more than like,,,, MAYBE $30 - $60 - and I would ONLY pay that much if it was made by a local business (because ik buying stones and beads can be pretty expensive for smaller businesses) if I liked them enough >
I just wanna know if Kim gave people their money back from her cancer scam
Most definitely not 😣
i dont think she would
I highly doubt that. She doesnt have a good enough heart to do that. No, she is evil. She is heartless. She is cold. She would have to be court ordered to give it back to even consider it and even then her snake ass would try to slither through some loophole in the law. Despicable human being, she is.
She didn't. Told the tribe to contact their own local police if they wanted to and claimed she was working closely w law enforcement. That was 6 months ago. Never mentioned again.
Don’t we all 😔

I had to start taking medication that has appetite loss as a side effect. It's not that great. Eating became a chore. Food I used to love, started to disgust me. I couldn't eat enough to keep myself healthy long term.
I'm just saying, if her tacky bracelet made her feel the way I felt, she wouldn't brag about it
Yeah I thought about making some sort of a tacky joke abt my chronic digestive illnesses acting as hunger and absorbtion suppressants, but I just couldnt think about anything really funny on it? It's mostly just frustrating tbh...
On another note, I hope you are doing OK! side effects suck a lot :-/
Yep. I had hyperemesis gravidarum (very severe “morning sickness” ) when I was pregnant and when I wasn’t nauseated, I still never had an appetite. Eating foods I normally liked was like eating sawdust. It was awful. I mostly tried to eat things I could drink because I could chug it down in a couple minutes, instead of endlessly chewing on what seemed like a cardboard sandwich.
I hope you're feeling better!
I’m so sorry to hear this 😔 You are in my thoughts 💜 knowing this what km said now upsets me so much more...
Lovely Lunette That happened to my Mom too!! She was already tiny and couldn’t afford to lose any more. She was close to needing a feeding tube.
If she wants something to help her forget to eat, Adderall is much cheaper than that snake oil bracelet
"Stones have frequency" as a geologist, I AM PISSED. Not just that, crystals are beautiful geologically and it's getting a bad reputation because of these people and I hate that more than anything
I used to model when I was in high school and that “heroin chic” look is a real thing my agency said they wanted me to loose weight to achieve that look and I was only 139 lbs at 5ft 11inches you could already see rib.. needless to say I do not model anymore and look and feel healthier
That's terrible. Happy you're better now. Can't imagine the unlearning you had to do.
Yes it’s so sad 😞 I’m so sorry you went through that I know how you feel... my brother almost got into modeling too and I begged him not to go down that route- a lot of people think men have it easier but I would say men can have it worse in the modeling industry, imo. The same social pressures, the same pressure to lose weight and the weird “sexual abuse” that goes on yet male models get no sympathy in the industry and it’s upsetting to me
@@cruelworldhappymind Would you mind interviewing some male models or share your thoughts about the male side of the industry?
I had a modeling agency that wanted to sign me in high school when i was 5'10" and ~120 lbs. But they wanted me to lose a little weight. Never went back. Just ick.
139 at 5'11" and for a dude!!! That's not good. That's like Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. Very unhealthy or at least gaunt and grumpy looking.
To be fair, spending $300 on "magic beads" would make me lose my appetite too.
A Decorative Purpose 😂🤣😂🤣. Ah heck who needs to eat anyway.
To give another perspective for you, I'm a practicing witch. And I love crystals. But like the majority of witches, I'd point out that crystals are not where you start with when it comes to health. That starts with doctors first--licensed therapists if it's a mental health issue. If you find crystals help in the process of what you do, then awesome, but trying to promote them as something that will protect you from the unnameable virus is appallingly irresponsible. And while they can be a pretty penny for certain kinds, sizes and cuts, those don't look to be uncommon crystals. Even if you're looking for ethically sourced stuff, a piece of Tigers Eye isn't that difficult to purchase for a cheaper price. (And realistically speaking a single piece to a purpose will do.)
Ultimately this just screams greed with no morals, or greed with delusion.
🖤🖤🖤 Eclectic Solitary who practice crystals healing here ! And I agree with you !
You can buy pre-strung bracelets like that from many online bead stores for pennies on the dollar - all the stones!
Agreed >< I hate that these kinds of people make us all look like nuts. Crystals, herbs, oils, etc and practing with them is purely spiritual and can be likened to prayer / reading religious texts in other practices at MOST
Witch here too. This is def witchcraft but reeeeally lazy witchcraft. "Just buy shit and wear it. Magic!" 🙄
Broooo the depression argument is so dumb. I have depression and yes my medication comes with side affects, but ill take those over wanting to off myself every day. Stopping my medication and relying heavily on crystals will have a side affect called worsening depression. 🙄 I hate this lady.
Update: I just got to the part where Madison Googles untreated depression and she pretty much said the same thing. Glad we're on the same page🙌🏻
I just want to point out, as someone who loves gemstones, how inexpensive it is to make your own bracelets. Today, for example, I made a kunzite bracelet. It cost me $5.00 for the supplies. Two larimar nugget bracelets, also about $5 each. Etsy is a great source for gemstone beads. Don’t buy into Kim’s BS! Gemstones do have energy, they cannot, however, change your life nor cure illness.
Btw, I’m looking at her “tourmaline” beads. They are FAKE! Omg, WHY???? That is an inexpensive gemstone! Real tourmalated quartz has black needles going through it, not PAINTED on. That’s just disgusting, period. Tiger’s eye is dirt cheap. Genuine gemstones can CERTAINLY get wet
When she said “she’s a orange level presenter” my mind could only think about her orange skin!!!!!! 😂
okay this is going to be one of those times I probably comment multiple times. I'm like halfway through right now and had to comment a couple things before I forget:
1. Having done theater (and you probably know this too from modeling) ANYONE can get their "collarbone poppin" if they pose the right way and/or use the right kind of contour (and you can tell from her pics and videos that whatever else is happening here, she definitely knows how to use highlighter, contour, and bronzer!)
2. I take adderall for my ADHD and have for almost a year. I really hate her talking about meth and heroin because people compare adderall to those things sometimes and will say things like "oh will adderall make you really skinny? I wish I could go on adderall" and like...no? It CAN suppress appetite but it isn't going to make you underweight by itself unless you're taking too high a dosage. And no, you should not take it for weight loss and yes, stimulants have legit uses, and...UGH.
Elizabeth Lorraine Mitchell YES! Preach girl! That’s the funniest part, our body shape can be easily manipulated for a photo, but the most important lesson I learned in modeling is that the truly radiant and beautiful people weren’t a specific size, but instead had a magnetic personality, joy and a glowing smile (aka, it’s what’s on the inside that counts!!)
Ah yes, tapeworm for weight loss, that's all natural too.
Started wearing these beads and stopped taking my epilepsy medication 😋✌ Sure, I have at least one seizure every other day, but at least I'm healthy and natural 🙄
My entire time growing up my mom believed in things like this, to the point where we didn't go to the doctor. I really think that if you do practice these things, they should only be used after medical help. It's always come off as wild to me that these people are really just out here scamming people.
“Negative ions will remove toxins and pollutants from your body.”

Omg it really grinds my gears how she describes depression as being "really upset" or "in a funk" as if it's not a life threatening illness
“Hundreds of Harvard professors and scientists” 🤣 sounds legit
😂😅🤞🏾
As someone who has struggled with depression for years, I can confirm that when you are feeling out of options, you'll try just about anything. And to have someone prey on that, knowing full well what they are pandering is garbage, is despicable. Thanks for being outraged over this. Someone needs to be.
Modelling agencies are so dangerous, especially for girls who are so young. I really hope they didn’t mess you up too bad. You seem really sensible and level headed and gorgeous and healthy so I hope you didn’t struggle with body issues or eating disorders.

It's sad that she's capitalising on women's insecurities obviously, but I find myself quite disappointed by her use of the placebo effect on the public as well. If you really want to lose weight, and you really believe this woman's claims, and you buy one of these bracelets, you put it on and you believe it to be working, your mind will do the rest. It's just the placebo effect, a well documented phenomenon, and one already used all the time in advertising, especially within the wellness sector.
PS, as a former addict, the "cocaine meth" comment was something I found particularly disgusting.
Howdy. Fellow former addict turned medical student here. Congratulations on your recovery. And you're exactly right. One thing you don't hear about is that a big feature of the Placebo Effect is that it's temporary and usually dissipates in 6-8 weeks. It's also subject to self-fulfilling prophecy and confirmation bias.
Forgive the joke, but as far as weight loss goes, the meth is cheaper and more effective... lol.
Anyway, best wishes for the future and keep your head up.

I tip my hat to you and thank you for being someone others should emulate amd becoming a bright spot on my day. I thank you and wish you every joy in life!
Laughing at her "intellectual" look so hard. xD If she wants to go about ancient Greece, Lucian wrote a satire on people who fake intellectuals. (Well, philosophers actually.) He wrote how they carefully arrange their looks in order to appear like they didn't pay attention to how they look like. Never seen such a thing in real life before this.
Also as a person with multiple allergies, part of them severe, I find it so irritating when people talk about nature being all good and stuff.

Claim something has magical properties and you can upcharge it BIG
@Chelsea Thibodeau “Claim something has magical properties and you can upcharge it BIG.” I’m pretty sure that’s Gwenyth Paltrow’s business model for Goop.
All these "testimonials" about how appetites are suppressed with the beads, and the one thought going through my mind is, "Yeah, my depression does the SAME THING! How crazy is that?"
Life With the Moaks. BOOM FACTS! Anytime upsetting situations occur i’m the same. Its like my body turns off a switch and i don’t want food. People would say, girl you better eat something. Or, wish i could lose that much weight. I told them jokingly - do you want my problems ?
@@2TexasTuff I’ve recently been praised for losing weight. When asked what I did, I told them that I can go months at a time without wanting food. I’ll only eat because I have to have something in my stomach to survive. I wish it was different.
Hearing her glorify addiction is SO messed up to me! Yeah Kim, I WAS heroin skinny but my teeth are also ruined, my hair was falling out in clumps and I also lost my will to live, but hey, I WAS SKINNY!! Is this lady for real?!? Using addiction to sell her "magic beans" I mean "magic beads" is a step too far in my book!
Just an aside, I am almost 5 years clean!!!
As a biochemistry student who just had a breakdown because of having a chemistry exam tomorrow concerning microscopical energy exchanges within particles aka the vibrations she’s talking about. It’s hilarious to hear her understanding about “a crystal energy coat” being able to solve your life problems and cause weight loss. It’s sad that a lot of people have to put their life into studying and analyzing really hard subjects just for a pseudoscientific person to come and easily earn money by misinforming people.
The weight loss beads are creating a placebo effect, making it seem like you don't feel hungry when really you do. She's deadass promoting magical ed's
While I don’t have much info on Kim Marshall, I managed to file a report against her specifically.
This woman sounds crazy and she looks like an Oompa Loompa with that spray tan. With that being said I really hope the people that donated for those girls headstones got some kind of closure to that situation
Donovan Beres me too! So sad that there’s no answer and it seems like they got away with it... 😕
Kim the Oompa Loompa Karen-tron
The way Kim prays on people whilst pretending to care about their issues, that’s exactly the kind of person I avoid, you can see them from a distance trying to convince everyone they’re not a bad person, like sis just stop. We see through you.
Isn't it funny how these types of scammers always put so much effort into trying to make others believe their pathological lies about their "good" front?! It's hilarious to me.
Now, when medical equipment tries "to look nice", it usually means "be as discreet as possible without impairing function. I'm especially thinking of diabetes devices and hearing aids
I remember a kids show I used to watch (talking cats in China..I was bored) and there was a nanny who had a special necklace saying that it grants every wish or something like that. Kittens steal it and they find out that they are able to do their skills or hobbies better than before. In the end, it was ultimately them believing that they can do better. She believes the bracelets help when its basically her own will power.
Sagwa was a bomb show tho
I really think people like this want to be witches but are afraid to just commit. Like all the stone-based healing and all that is super common in pagan religions (and that's fine, because it's presented in that way) but it's like these people don't want to commit to that belief system so instead they try to claim there's some sort of science behind it. EDIT: And I realize you actually say that in the video (I did the cardinal sin of commenting before watching the whole thing oops!)
yup and witches also will tell you that there's more to it than just putting on a crystal bracelet and hoping for the best...
I have been saying this for a long time now. Witches don't even have to be just pagan/polytheists, they can be Christian/Catholic, Secular, etc. So you can keep your Christian faith and be the witch you always wanted to be.
Krystle C not sure the Catholic Church would agree with you there 😅
@@Victoria-jd1dx I follow plenty of Catholic witches on Tumblr who would (politely) disagree with you on that one. They even have FAQs on why and how it's possible.

Savannah Tatianna no way! Will look it up!
I can make the beads that lady sells for a few dollars. The stones aren’t rare like they claim. A few stones are rare but not hers. So ally express and even eBay sells the bracelets she sells. I bet Amazon does too.
On my! 😯👿
Totally makes sense - those things look so cheap & basic!
Oddly enough, I'm in health care and also make jewlery. This stuff just makes my blood boil.
There are studies and videos out there where these crystals have been tested in labs and they're completely inert. No electromagnetic fields, no ions created, just stones.
Also, the beads may be "real" as in actually quartz, amethyst, turquoise, etc. buy they're no doubt grown in the lab. Therefore the beads are worth nowhere near the price they're being sold for. At best they're worth about $0.01-$0.05 a piece.
Edit: References to things like TCM or Native American shaman are "appeals to antiquity."
I hate how people like this romanticize and promote the suppression of appetite like it’s a good thing? I take medication that has hunger suppression as a side effect and while it helps a lot with the condition it is designed to treat, the hunger suppression has impacted my life in a lot of ways. It’s not a good thing to not feel hungry because you need to eat to feel okay and be healthy. When you feel like you physically can’t eat on a regular basis you lose weight sure; but you also don’t fuel your body enough most of the time even if you want to and it affects your mood, your energy levels, your stress, everything.
Stop. Promoting. Disordered. Eating. As. A. Weight. Loss. Technique.
when she tried to explain the stones power through vIbRaTiOnAl EnErGy, she sounded like a middle schooler trying to explain something they clearly didnt understand.
