What's Wrong With GOOP (Gwyneth's Overload Of Pseudoscience) | Cynical Reviews 

Dude, swear, or don't. Swearing and beeping it is kinda dumb and then leaving "die motherfucker die" unedited is even more baffling... let me ask you... do you say "nukeular"?

If what you said before wasn't enough already, but when you showed 'magically charged' I completely lost it. lol

no, i wouldn't want to stick those stone things up my butt... there are cheaper alternatives that don't infect my anus with magic

If you want to do a series on New Age psychobabble, Deepak Chopra is primed for a good reaming. I always thought it strange that the master of mystical truths needs to put out book after book instead of revealing all in one volume. Also I love the way he gloms to whatever is fashionable in science and grafts it into his lectures.

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.

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: 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.

@@Maltesfilm exactly. That's the point; what we consider alternative now might just be normalised in a few years.

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.

What kind of holistic approach?

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.

monkiram yeah. And while pharmaceutical companies are definitely greedy, the entire medical establishment isn’t out to suck people dry. Companies like Goop-now they’re out to suck you dry

Being famous doesn't make you smart. Woody Harrilson thinks coronavirus is caused by an allergy to 5G signals, for goodness sake.

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.
