      Your Germannesd hangs out. Esoteric in English means something different, it's an adjective (well we have esotherisch) used in its original meaning: not known or suitable for public knowledge, intended for only a small group of initiated people.
      If you want to say what Esotherik means, say pseudoscience, woo, quack or unproven alternative medicine.
      I think using those terms might be a bit more appropriate

      If a friend suffering and struggling was like "I found this tea that's helping me feel better" I'd probably just say "that's great!". I'll quick check that it doesn't have potential negatives, but even if there are no positives placebo effect is real and I care about them. Little thing to feel better, sure.
      "I heard about this device" okay... I'm gonna eyebrow raise but if it's a one time thing probably sigh and let it go, now's not the time to push them, especially if they're still doing the treatment they need. It's probably not much money, a magnet bracelet or something, let's ask more, (and also make sure they don't think it's a replacement for medical care)

    Our lecturer knew Markus Schmieke personally. We were asked to develop a mock-up marketing campaign. While working on this project we quickly noticed, that this device was a total bogus. A friend of ours even developed a copy of the device in three days with the most simple equipment - no surprise since the product is just simple electronics.
    We also met Mr. Schmieke in person. At the end of the project we were asked to present our work to him. I am shocked, by how much this project company grew and what it became.

    How this is not illegal, is baffling. As the comapny, THEY are responsible for all of their marketing and sales force. THEY have to approve marketing material, presentations, the claims made, etc. If any of those connected to their MLM make misleading statements, then those are statements from the company. There should be no defense or disclaimer that protects them from that. Just because you disclaim something, doesn't mean you can act completely contrary to it. That's absurd, completely ludicrous!

      All of those, allow these scams to propagate and as regulations get rolled back, more of them are going to pop up, with the sole purpose of preying off peoples gullibility and desperation.

      @@timotheegermes468 Then the law is just shit. That's why it's baffling. If a sales force is either part of your company or acts on behalf of you, you should be responsible for what they do. This of course also means that you have a responsibility to check and know that the sales force does not act in direct opposition to you. You SHOULD be liable for this IF you can't proof due diligence on your part to make sure they only act in your mission and interest. Of course if the sales force tries their hardest to act against you while they can hide it from your checkup, then you did due diligence and shouldn't be liable, cause you were deceived as well.
      That's the thing. Such systems and strategies already exist. It's not magic. But it's clear that here there is every intent of obfuscation and confusion from the company itself, which they should be liable for.

    • @lostbutfreesoul
      @lostbutfreesoul 4 місяці тому +2

      The issue here is proving Intent, when all you have is 'a wink and a nod.'
      When I was younger and going through High School I was taught how to collect Data. At one point I realized how to cook said data, even though it wasn't the subject matter, by asking a single question: what happens if you do it 'the wrong way.' The teacher simply said 'don't do that' and moved on, as if that would have stopped me from experimenting on my own. It did teach me valuable lesson on trusting Statistics though, if I can make them dance so easily then anyone can...!
      To bring it back to context, same thing is happening here:
      The company only has to say to the sales team 'don't do this thing that will make you lots of money....'
      They produce all those legal documents and disclaimers knowing that their sale teams are filled with people like me, who will question what happens if you do it 'the wrong way.' There will be more then enough lacking the moral compass though, who will only hear 'this will make you lots of money...' and be sold that the wrong way is in fact, grand. Those are the people who have no qualms teaching others, cause it is a multi-levelled thing in the end, that they should do it the wrong way too.
      When the main company is called out on it they point to the paperwork they produced and say:
      We told them not to... it is all their fault, punish them!
      At that moment, with only the paperwork to go off, it really will look like they tried to do everything to prevent this outcome. Their version of events will be accepted by the government and, at worse, they get a small fine for not being careful enough in their education. Not unless someone comes forth with evidence showing otherwise, the wink and the nod given as they explained this to people, will they be punished for the fraud they created.
      Oh, and if I sound bitter:
      Companies do this all the time, a 'wink and a nod' as they tell their sales team what not to do.

    I can get so angry about stuff like this. It's just a bunch of corporate greedy villains, who mislead their customers, and profiting of their potential suffering. If Healy provided clear information about their claims, it would be common knowledge that it does not work, and if it was common knowledge it doesn't work, no one would buy it. This company cannot operate without misleading vulnerable people.

As someone with a Scientific background who has tried for decades to educate people for not falling for this kind of things, instead of learning how to think by reading Carl Sagan and others they preferred going for _Chakras and flying carpets_ because that makes them fall into the delusion of feeling special and unique. Well, if that's they want out of their Free Will... Just don't come to be playing the victim when they realize they've been scammed, they'll get a very raw I fkin told you so! out of me.

    I was diagnosed 20 years ago with MS, and I've seen it all with this type of garbage. MS, it's highly variable from person to person. Some people have few symptoms and episodes and they can be mild, but with others it can be a near constant and rapid downward progression to disability and eventually death. I'm somewhere in the middle, not the best case scenario, not the worst, but pretty awful and it was certainly worse in the first 6 years after diagnosis as compared to now. I've seen Montel Williams selling blenders all-liquid diet scams, "doctors" in Scandinavia selling their fish only diet books, other strange diet fads, healing crystals, incense, marijuana or marijuana extracts, diluted homeopathic trash, special surgeries to widen the arteries in your neck and carry a high risk of sudden death, etc. and of course this crap. It's all garbage, none of it works. Those that claim to be "cured" are just lucky and are experiencing a prolonged remission, and for some people they may never relapse again in their life. I mean, generally, anecdotal evidence is piss poor proof of anything, but with MS it is utterly meaningless given the high variability of disease progression from person to person. The people selling this crap to desperately ill and dying people and marketing it as a cure, deserve a fate worse than death. Eternal damnation and burning in hell is not enough for these assholes.
    Your best and only bet for treating MS is to find a real neurologist, hopefully one that specializes in the treatment and mitigation of MS, and find out which drug combination works for you. We live in the time of monoclonal antibodies, and right now because of that, people are living longer and living with less disability. That is the one and only thing that has meant a significant change in the lives of people with MS in the last 15 years. If that doesn't work, I'm sorry. There are options for suppressing the hell out of your immune system, and of course steroids when you have new lesions on the brain and spine but that, though shitty, is far and away more effective than giving your money to con artists and scammers.

    More people need to see this video! It’s such a sad thing that they are targeting sick and desperate people who would do anything to have their health back 😢

      you can take as many drugs as you want, and nothing will happen. The Healy is sooooo cool

    The thing is, if you think this is going to help you, it might actually do that. The placebo effect is very real, and while I’m not indicating the Healy is good and works, for some of these folks, it actually benefits them bc they believe it will.

    Never heard of it. If it had benefits, then every ethical healthcare professional on the planet would be promoting it.

      People like shit they can't explain and if there is the "information of the universe" involved, it must be very mighty! Who could help buying this?
