I don't see how this is legal, but people on Tik Tok peddling miracle "medicine" are becoming more common every day. No FDA approval, no research. Just their marketing hype and false promises. This one, lady is showing some sort of probiotic and claiming it can help people suffering from severe acid reflux and gastrointestinal reflux disease or GERD, replacing medicine that has been tested for decades.
You can actually find small bottles of water on Amazon marketed as a miracle cure.
You can even find radioactive shit sold on Amazon as health products. So radioactive, that it can incur the wrath of federal agencies.
Just stay away from nearly anything that uses "healing ions" in its marketing material. If it's not a straight-up fake product, it'll likely kill you in due time. (Ozone generators are an exception unless you get a beefy one like mine, and then it can actually kill you.)
Edit: lol! I have seen that video and made my comment about ions before I clicked it. Good video, btw. 5 stars.
What I don't get about these products, is the use of radioactive material intentional? Do the people making this shit do it with the intention of giving people rings covered in thorium? If not, then why does it happen? Is the manufacturing process just so sketchy that it somehow gets cross contamination with actual fucking nuclear reactor fuel?
When we were first learning about it, there were some misconceptions about radioactivity and health. There were even business minded individuals who widely sold it as a miracle cure. This public belief was reinforced by the fact that around that time we discovered hot springs have radioactive elements, (and people have always believed hot springs heal your ailments) which lead to a mass conception radioactivity was actually a miracle cure. A large part of that down fall was when the "Radium Girls" started literally dying because they were told it was totally safe to work with radioactive material, began falling apart and then worked for legal pushback.
I'm not an expert on the matter, so I might be a little off but that is a good overview on why some people have that belief still. As always it's shitty people looking to make money off of hype. The Radium Girls had a tragic but ultimately fascinating life/story. They would even rub the material on their teeth to glow. Check it out if you're interested.
