Oh you’re 100% correct on the whole “blue eyes are cleaner than brown eyes” thing being massively troubling for a multitude of reasons, and surprisingly only the least concerning is her complete misunderstanding of how phenotypes work
The funny thing is, I have blue eyes and my vision is so blurry I can barely see my mom's face only 3 meters away. Even if my eyesight got worse after wearing glasses, I still couldn't see before.
Technically she's right that theres a blue eye under every brown eye. You would have to use a laser to remove the pigmentation to see the blue though. Also blue eyed people are more sensitive to light and see worse in the sun because less pigment makes their iris more translucent so it let's in more light.
@@iclynnx My moms eyes are bad and she has chronic migraines and constantly wears sunglasses outside or else she will have a huge headache or migraine happen, she has blue eyes.
That AND probably not understand that people can use wheelchairs and not be completely paralyzed from the waist down in order to be wheelchair bound or require one for a disability or medical condition.
The fact that she implied blue eyes were the most desirable while also encouraging people to stare into the sun is wild. Mine are blue and i can’t even walk outside without squinting if it’s too bright
But blue eyes are more easily damaged through the sun And the fact that she said that about blue eyes is just flabbergasting, like, girl really basically said white people(who got the highest likely hood of blue eyes), got the better vision, people of color... Welp, no good Vision for you (I am aware people of color can have blue eyes btw but to have blue eyes you need to have European somewhere in your bloodline, also that recessive gene in DNA available or have genetic mutation)
@@courier6402that’s interesting cause I also have blue/grey eyes and I can’t go outside without sunglasses but I can see just fine at night or in low light conditions. I’m very sensitive to light I’ve always wished I had brown eyes instead I find them so much more beautiful, I don’t understand why people want blue eyes so much I’ll trade for brown or hazel or green any day
I have blue eyes too and can’t see anything in the summer 😂 it’s ironic because I’m pretty sure people with blue eyes have more problems and are more sensitive.
Oh my God, the tapping therapy. I used to have a therapist who recommended I try that for stress. It was okay at helping to calm down, but it worked as well as any focusing on any small task would. I broight that up to my therapist, and she kind of handwaved it as me "just getting started." That therapist would later send me a text message about */shocker/* vaccines causing autism. I have a new therapist now.
Lol right! Just get over it. Just stop being anxious. Just stop being sad. Just stop being worried. Just stop being adhd ocd weird etc. not that it’s potentially a chemical imbalance - nah they don’t think that exists. You can will yourself better 😂 damn thanks no one ever thought about that right! Got cancer? Just will yourself to be better!
She’s a bit of a gift in a way, it’s objectively enraging to see her telling people to just stop not seeing when we know that it’s a physical change impeding them from having good vision. I want people to extrapolate how fucking stupid that sounds to better understand what people with mental health disorders mean when they say “I can’t do that” or “I’m not OK.”
I think my favorite meme about this concept is one where a depressed person is told to go outside more often, and the last panel is them wearily looking into the sunlight saying something to the effect of "Ah, yes! My childhood trauma, gone!"
as a nurse, I can tell you right now that not a single person put that oil around that man’s eyes to “heal him from his coma” she was the problematic family member that probably made a bunch of nurses lives hell for weeks on end
Lmao I was about to say that absolutely did not happen. She could show up and put it on herself if she wanted to. Or vegetable oil. Neither would do anything anyway.
I'm not even a nurse, but when i heard her say that, i got viscerally angry. Nurses (etc) deal with enough as it is...y'all don't need all that goofy sh¡ added on top.😅🥴 Side note: thank you so much for everything you do. Nurses are greatly under paid and under appreciated. I hope that changes soon. Sending love & strength your way.💞💞💞
I also wonder about the whole "no hospital food" rule because I mean I've never had personal experience with a hospital for longer than a few hours, but could she or someone else in his family really be there to refuse hospital food for him and give him something else instead 24/7?
Thank you Samantha for teaching me that getting hit in the eye with a golf ball at age 7 was actually just a spiritual problem! I now have the blue eyes of a husky and 20/5 vision, and my pesky "EDS" has vanished after I stopped listening to Big Medical!
As someone who is mildly nearsighted (-2) when you don't wear you glasses for long enough, you get used to your bad vision, and it seems like it's normal. So that's probably what happened to this lady
This!! I had no idea how bad my vision had gotten until I got my first pair of bifocals and it was like my whole world became HD. Literally it was so different that I got dizzy at first because of how much detail I was suddenly seeing.
Yup I had genuinely no idea that tv subtitles looking blurry/doubled from the opposite side of the room wasn’t normal until I mentioned it to my Nan who said to put her glasses on and holy shit it was wild how much better I could see, tho stuff right in front of my face was blurry lol. Got my own glasses now and it’s so much better. Colours are brighter, writing looks sharper/clearer, I even don’t get tired as easy (prob cause I’m squinting less). Even though I only need them for stuff that’s further away I just leave them on all the time, since the doc said there wouldn’t be negative effects on other parts of my vision for wearing them all the time.
as a blind person it makes me so happy to hear youtubers with big voices like you and danny call attention to this misinformation and spread awareness on what it actually means to have vision issues. this masterclass and beliefs like this is just reformatted "you're blind because you sinned in your past life. i'll pray for you"
This woman infuriates me in a way I can’t control. Something about the combination of the way she talks, the way she moves, the things she believes, and the constant ableism just lights a fire in my gut.
@@madimoreau7824the sad part is that people actually listen to this kind of nonsense. They listen and believe and have faith it’s true. I’ll never understand how so many people have so little critical thinking skills or common sense. It’s pathetic and sad. I don’t expect everyone to be doctors but I mean come on, there’s no way any logical person with a 100 IQ could believe this eye lady’s nonsense. And as for those who believed 8 passengers ruby and that other lady that was so evil and ruined so many families… mostly bc of the hold Mormonism has over the people they ruined… there’s a strong correlation between the blind faith people have in this nonsense and their propensity to be religious. Blind faith all around I guess.
17:14 Man I could write a fucking novel about the crazy reasons strangers believe I’m in a wheelchair. A favourite of mine is that I apparently don’t have a loving relationship with my legs and that I should paint my toenails
I can't even come CLOSE to imagining what it's like to have the arrogance necessary to tell someone in a wheelchair how they should interpret their condition.
Kurtis’ laugh when he opened up the second eye exam sounded so fucking genuine that for a second I thought he was gonna say his vision had somehow gotten *worse*
growing up with a mum who's really into holistic medicine and who thought she could cure my autistic traits with diets (among other things) watching this video was my form of inner child healing
@@frickfrack7075 can’t speak for op but my family was abusive, in my personal experience it was kind of more of a thin veil for punishments under the guise of it being ‘for my own good’ - that being said, it gives me a lot of hope to see a parent who’s done a lot of research into how to take care of kids who’s sensory needs might impact their health and well-being, your kindness and care shows! just wanted to give more context, i hope you’re doing well and it makes me feel better knowing there are parents out there in the world like you ^ - ^
Imagine being on the medical team that kept this lady's brother alive during his coma, providing him with complicated life-saving treatment that enabled him to recover from the brink of death... and then the family turns around and says "nah, you didn't do shit, all he needed was the essential oils from my MLM, bro"
i don’t even have to imagine that’s a super common thing medical staff has to deal with when they’re not being baselessly accused for poisoning people’s “spiritual energy”
17:16 unironically yes they would say that to someone. I was in an argument with my birth mom and said “you wouldn’t tell a diabetic person not to take insulin” and her response was basically “actually I would. You can cure diabetes by just not eating sugar”
as someone who’s worn glasses since she was 4, has corneas too thin for any corrective surgeries, and currently works in optometry I just have to say that this is absolutely true after paying for this class not only can I see without my glasses but I can also smell without my nose, taste without my tongue, and hear without my ears. she’s amazing!
As someone with pretty great vision who also has major depression, I can confirm the two are irrevocably mutually exclusive. My clouded mind can't touch these clear af eyes.
Hell yeah dawg! These peepers can see for miles no matter how painful my existence 🤙 It's honestly the perfect combo for getting REALLY into bird watching 👍
Interestingly enough though, depression can affect your hearing. I found out when I went to my ear doctor like “am I going deaf” and he told me I was just depressed 😭
Hi, I'm an optometrist. A lot of people are commenting about the eye exercises. YES, looking far away as a way of taking a break from near work is very beneficial, look up the 20/20/20 rule. The eye movements that she recommends don't do anything (they also won't hurt anything) but they are NOT the same eye exercises used in vision therapy. Vision therapy has lots of research backing it up, and has specific movements and exercises to help the eyes work together better.
Hmm.. I wonder if some of the tasks they had me do in rehab therapy for a concussion would be considered Vision therapy as there were quite a few to work on eye hand coordination, eye tracking (getting my eyes to track at the same rate) and improving coordination and eye tracking while moving.
as someone who's worn glasses/contacts since preschool, i can confirm that this powerpoint presentation changed my life. now my eyes are fluorescent pink and attract small bugs at night. can't thank samaghntha enough
This has just got me thinking about how inconvenient bug attracting eyes would actually be 😂. My mum (who coincidentally has low vision - just above the point of being legally blind) had a bug fly into her eye once and had to go to emergency as she couldn't flush it out on her own. Based off her description of the experience, 0/10, would not recommend, better off not taking this magical vision course.
you know I’ve been NOT wearing my glasses for over a year now for no valid reasons honestly but this somehow convinced me to put them back on and schedule a new appointment idk how it worked but she fixed my eyesight I can see!!!
@@blakksheep736 felt. I have a horrible habit of forgetting them when I travel, and when I DO pack them they always end up in the ocean. I can be miles inland and I’ll still find an opportunity to drop them in the ocean. glasses stay safe at home where I can…. Not use them I guess? lol
The worst part about these “holistic healers” is that if you say it didn’t work, they can just say “you didn’t truly believe in what you were doing, so of course the affirmations didn’t work! You have to believe in it” like bro you’re describing a placebo effect right now
Or they include a few things that could actually help, like "eat healthy foods, don't spend too long looking at screens, get plenty of exercise" so on the off chance someone's health does improve in the intended way its literally just because of that
One of them seeing this video would say "you got sick because your body was expelling all the toxins you built up before you began your healing journey!" They'll claim this about any harmful thing they pitch: ozone therapy, drinking bleach, etc. I've seen quacks like this woman tell people to keep using black salve (do NOT look for pics of that if you're squeamish) after their skin began _rotting off_ because "that means it's working!" One woman lost her entire nose.
the joke abt telling a wheelchair user they're just afraid is extra funny to me bc I've been a paraplegic for 10 years now and I still get people telling me I just need to "work harder in therapy" (both physical and mental) like the nerves will just magically work if i manifest enough 💀
As a huge Kurtis fan and an Optometrist’s assistant, this was an intersection of two interests I could have never expected, but that I immensely enjoyed
8:45 The best part about this is that we all *really* underestimate just how complex the human body is. We are literally symbiotic beings or millions of tiny living things working together in a way that keeps us moving. With that in mind it is easy to see that things can indeed happen inside the body for no reason other than the some cells aren't functioning as well as they used to, and mess up a function that keeps a part of our body operating a certain way. 👍
I remember listening to a Ted Talk of a woman born severely cross eyed. She had multiple surgeries to fix the condition, but at the end of the day all it did was cosmetically change her look. She had trouble in school from her inability to focus both eyes on a target, headaches from the strain, and she had never seen in 3D once in her life. The doctors said she never would. Against all odds, she became an optometrist, and as medical understanding grew, so too did her hopes. New exercises and treatments had proven reasonably effective at coordinating both eyes to focus at one point, and against all odds, in her late 40's after months of training with these techniques, she noticed that the faucet in her bathroom was floating. She went outside and could see how tree branches encompassed a space, in which other tree branches could occupy. She had spatial awareness and depth perception, for the first time in her life, she saw the world in 3D. She recounted crying in her car, overwhelmed by the before unseen world brought by that function of her vision. If only that dumbass had just been spiritually enlightened at birth and willing to focus on the world and see it's horrors, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long.
_"She recounted crying in her car, overwhelmed by the unbefore unseen world"_ There's no chance this story is real. Someone with no depth perception or 3D vision would endanger society in a vehicle more than any drunk driver ever could. 100% lying. She'd never have a driver's license, she'd never own a car.
@@Dirk_Strider you ever considered that maybe she had, i don't know, a family member? a spouse? literally anyone else in her life who could drive her around?
When my grandma was really young, she had a lazy eye. They put an eye patch over her good eye to force her lazy eye to correct itself. Obviously it's different, but I wonder why they don't do that anymore
@@Dirk_Strider I actually didn't make the story or ted talk part up, looked it back up for you, her name is Sue Barry. Though I saw it years ago, I only listed what I remembered.
fun fact: You can get blue blocking glasses with prescription lenses. I know because I'm wearing them right now. So it's entirely possible that this woman is lying about not needing glasses anymore.
Also, from experience working in optics blue light damaging your eyes has very little scientific proof, to the extent that an optical chain here in the UK got in serious trouble for telling people that blue light glasses would reverse the progression of certain eye conditions.
@@BaBaBaBenny Dang! Yeah I have no idea if it actually does any real/longterm damage, I just know that I'm more likely to get a headache from staring at a screen all day without it. So I assume that it is short-term strain? But that's good the company got in trouble! You can't go around making unsubstantiated claims, and the idea that it would REVERSE certain eye conditions is absolutely bonkers in my opinion. That's the kind of bold claim you can only make after a LOT of well-designed rigorous, double blind, control trial type studies. Kind like you would to prove a certain medicine worked. That moves from "helps temporary symptoms of eye strain" (which might also be possible with a placebo) to "cures disease" territory!
Yknow reframing eye problems (or any medical issue) as a “spiritual problem” makes it super easy to say that people suffering a disability just “aren’t strong/spiritual enough.” Which is just a great thing to say to people, and also makes it so much easier to infantilize and marginalize them. They’re not victims silly, they’re weak, and deserving of punishment for personal failings! Thanks Samantha, hope everyone without blue eyes learns to correct their inherent impurities. /s
Actually medical issues often do have a spiritual component, but in traditional Chinese medicine, the spirit is just the body and how it reacts to its environment. For example, cultures where scarcity is more prevalent, often people there have trouble losing weight in certain parts of their body. Because their bodies hold onto not only the weight, but the generational trauma that they don’t have enough so they need to conserve. It’s not because they’re spiritually weak. It’s just that their spirit suffered something and their body helps them cope.
@@MyatherosesThere body suffered and reacted to starvation like well bodies do. It isn’t a spiritual thing. It’s called having a human body that needs calories to function. Like everything on this planet. Ancient Chinese medicine stuff is just bullshit At worst it’s cultural appropriation by white people. It’s best is fucking propaganda. Don’t fall for this bullshit. You’re hurting the marginalized.
You know this explains a lot. The doctors always said I was born with a cataract that has left me permanently blind in my right eye but now I know that ive been holding onto the emotional burdens and loss of spirituality that comes with being a fetus fresh out the womb. Who woulda thunk?
As someone who grew up on actually using herbs and stuff for healing, the one thing I was taught is that yeah, it can work to an EXTENT- when I had a sore throat my mom made me elderberry tea, but when I got scarlet fever she didn’t put lavender oils on me
i know the feeling lmao 😭 my mom does reiki and yeah, when i get some random ass muscle cramps ill go to her... but if im having an allergic reaction i go find my epipen man 😭
Exactly, plus the reason why plants can be helpful is also scientifically based, just like medicine. Like you can research and go "yeah ginger is proven to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. sick!" and that's science for ya.
@@finpin2622 As Tim Minchin so wonderfully put it in his piece called Storm, "On the contrary Storm, actually, Before we came to tea, I took a natural remedy derived from the bark of a willow tree A painkiller that's virtually side-effect free It's got a weird name, darling, what was it again? M-maspirin? Baspirin? Oh yeah! Aspirin! Which I paid about a buck for down at the local drugstore." So many people forget that we derive quite a lot from plants for use in our medicine.
a lot of herbs do help (and some are even prescribed along with actual meds where I'm from) because plenty of "active ingredients" were first found in/extracted from plants; they are less effective but can sometimes be used to decrease the impact on a patient's liver (esp when they are already taking other medicine) ((that being said there are questions of side effects and allergic reactions and such, so like with most things self-medication must be in moderation))
@@citruslemonade3326 there is also the fact that it is harder to control the doses with herb and stuff, so someone might accidentally taking too little or too much. unlike regular medication, which is thoroughly controlled to make sure it is exactly the dose it needs to be.
I was in a coma for two months (medically induced), and I was terrified I was out for that long. So it's just disgusting when people claim that pointless garbage like essential oils and faith are what healed someone in a coma. No. It was the medical staff that worked around the clock to make sure that person survived and tried to do everything possible to make sure they had a chance at survival.

Glad you brought up the false-health thing with Doterra. There's been a few lawsuits against mlm's because of their false health claims, so a lot of the higher ups like their pawns to be careful.
Fuck. The anger in your voice about your family member dying because of "not enough familial love" is 100% justified and tragic. I feel you. Much love and big hugs.
It's super gross, people die for all kinds of reasons, blaming the family and guilt tripping them into blaming themselves is incredibly scummy I don't mind some alternatives to medicine (i use some of that stuff sometimes, tea helps me more than throat meds) but alot of holistic medicine touters are gaslighters and manipulative....it makes it really hard to talk about actual alternatives that were once actually used as medicine
@@artsyscrub3226 This this this. I am a firm believer in science, but 99% of the time when I get sick, I'll try the natural methods first, before resorting to cough meds/doctor's visits/pain pills. I feel like that's generally what a lot of people do, but what these holistic medicine die-hards don't understand is that modern medicine was literally created to fill in the gaps for where natural remedies DON'T work. They don't have to be mutually exclusive, but there are circumstances where one is clearly the better option.
As an American, the most surprising part of this video isn't the fact that there is genuinely some lady out there who thinks she can solve eye problems and that she's uncovered the glasses illuminati. It's the fact that Curtis scheduled another eye exam a week later after just having one with zero hesitation.
Just got around to watching this and it was such a treat. Genuinely woke my entire family up with raucous laughter. My partner is legally blind and he has been since a child so when I read to him that his poor eyesight is due to inner thoughts and limiting beliefs, and said that when he took his glasses off to not “see HIS parents,” it was actually worse.
Wow! I didn’t know that my grandpas condition that made him blind and ended up killing him could’ve just been avoided if he had just fixed his “limiting beliefs” and “spiritual blindness”! Thanks Samantha!

Thank you so much for talking about how insane DoTerra is. A lot of people in my town are super into it, like it's all over the place. I work at a dermatologist office and so many times we have patients coming in complaining that they have a horrible rash and "I've just been putting peppermint and lavender oil on it and it's been getting worse!" YA THINK?
i grew up right by the headquarters and its a really religious community too. i had grown adults telling me that some orange oil would cure my chronic pain and headaches.
ngl i didn't realize i had some of those essential oils or using them until i saw the screenshot of that brand and i was in awe💀 i just took them from my mom bc i mainly used them for making things smell good and in my hair...but after watching this vid and seeing your comment yeah i prob should stop using it on my hair. I haven't had any problems using it since i dilute it in water but still i don't wanna worsen my already thinning hairline😭
Lol my bf's grandma is obsessed with that stuff. One time she bought him an oil diffuser with 3 bottles of DoTerra oil worth like $70. I could literally go to the drug store and buy a bottle of lavender oil for $10. It's ridiculous.
Y'all, I don't know what you're talking about. I've been wearing glasses since I was thirteen, but the moment I said the affirmations aloud with Kurtis, they shattered off of me and fell to the ground and I became able to see through walls up to twelve miles away. This was a life-changing experience.

16:54 i'm disabled and soooo many people say this about mobility aids (even doctors, sometimes) because the "you can do anything abled people do" mindset is so rampant.
as someone who nearly lost the sight on the left eye at 10 years old due to retinal detachment, I can confirm it was because my spiritual levels were wrong, and I wasn't trying hard enough to be able to see
as a disabled woman people tell me literally all the time that I can "pray" it away, use herbs to get better, and positive thought my problems away. im terminal. like, people are insane lmao
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this shit. I'm sure you've had a tough enough time just coming to terms with the everyday realities of being disabled without these absolute idiots blaming you for it. Wishing you nothing but love and happiness, friend.
People say similar things to me, when I first mentioned my disability in school I had a classmate tell me that I wouldn't need hearing aids if I had just listened to god
The thing is, this gives the same energy as “My soul is with the Lord and if he wants my child to survive cancer he will heal it with no medical intervention whatsoever if its his will”
My parents and grandparents have the same beliefs, I was vision-tested in school at age 10 and told I needed glasses, they didn’t want me to wear glasses because they didn’t believe that glasses are real thing they thought I was just mentally weak, and I needed to have “mind over matter” and they tried to fight the school on it but the school forced them to get me glasses or be reported for child neglect so they had to do it but I would always get in trouble anytime they saw me wearing my glasses which meant I had to squint all the time. And that caused me to develop astigmatism and made my vision even worse.
I had headaches and my eyes kept twitching all the time. The eye doctor said that my eyes were tired. I hadn't been to an eye doctor in over 20 years. I left with an order for glasses. When I got them, I was amazed. I could see. I didn't even realize how bad my vision was. Everything was popping, like I was watching 4k after watching 480p my whole life. And I got bifocals. I can read so much easier now! And my eyes don't twitch anymore. At 48, I got glasses for the first time in my life. And I am so happy about it.

Kurtis slamming on DoTerra and MLM/Pyramid schemes as a whole is something that I never expected, but is something I REALLY needed and appreciate it heavily, especially because MLM's believe that they can cure shit like Autism and Mental Illness like they have the right to do so. Thank you Kurtis for doing this
They assume autism and mental illness is akin to being stressed or overwhelmed, so they's just like "Here, sniff some lavender and chamomile mixed together! It will cure you!
I’m disabled (four chronic illnesses, mobility impairment, chronic pain and fatigue) and I get this kind of thing constantly 😔 it’s so incredibly common for people to blame disabilities on spiritual or emotional issues and it’s really damaging and frustrating. Not to mention some doctors are like this!!!
Yeahhhhh, same shit over here!! I understand Dr's encouraging that you look after your mental health - anxiety & poor sleep contribute to worse pain. But like... IT'S NOT THE CAUSE, DUDE. I CANNOT ALTER MY GENES THROUGH BREATHING EXERCISES. Lmaoooo. I hope you're having a tolerable day & have a decent medical team! 💕
yep!! I also have chronic pain and fatigue as well as mobility issues because of it and boy do people hate it when I tell them no, I don’t know why I’m constantly in pain, my body’s just fucked up like that. I have had multiple doctors tell me I just need to get better sleep and it’ll go away eventually, well it’s been 10 years and it’s actually gotten worse. (and I’m very aware that sleep and mental health impact pain but it’s certainly not the root cause)
I had a hippie phase in my late teens and I believed this shit myself, especially about why I struggled so much with my mental health. Turned out the thing I really needed for that shit was the right combination of psychiatric medication. I realize I didn't know any better but it still sucks that I lost years of my life because I was told total bullshit by other people as an impressionable young person.
a teacher at my old school was a doterra sales girlie, we used to get her to talk about it when she was covering our class, but she was fully convinced it had healed her daughter's autism
Kurtis i just want to thank you for making videos. Moments ago i had gotten a call that there was a threat to my school about a planned shooting and i almost had a panic attack out of fear because of it. Your videos always calm me down and make me laugh, this video is helping me alot and i think youre amazing. Thank you so much kurtis, you will always be the best mayor! ❤
the infertility and cancer healing in particular kill me. i'm dealing with infertility issues and know full well how desperate some women can be for an answer when there sometimes just isn't one. how cruel.
yeah. The cancer one seems to be the most insensitive too. Claiming to cure Infertility is one thing but then claiming the same which is the 2nd leadest cause for deaths in the US each year is even more incentive. I have family that have gone through both issues and that women seems cruel and sick
Speaking as someone who used to wear glasses (for nearsighted+astigmatism in one eye, and slightly farsighted in the other) and then stopped wearing them over 5 years ago because the glasses were more trouble than they were worth and gave me eyestrain headaches, I can confidently say... that I did need glasses. And still do. Just not the ones I had. Turned out my slightly farsighted eye was actually slightly nearsighted. Which would explain the headaches. I got new glasses with a more accurate prescription a couple weeks ago and dude that shit is insane. I can freakin see. I have depth perception for the first time in five years. Keeping these things clean enough to see through is a pain but goddang it's worth it to have TWO WORKING EYES for the first time in half a decade. B)
The depth perception thing! For a long time I kept falling into little potholes and once even a gutter and I didn't know why I just couldn't judge depth until later when I got diagnosed with astigmatism
I had the same exact issue when I was taking medication for ADHD. Would constantly be a zombie, not eating or drinking. Just focusing on the task at hand until my eyes were sore and my lips were chapped. It. Was. Awful. Ended up convincing my mother when I was 16 to stop giving me my medication because it was just ruining me physically and emotionally. Years later I learned that if you're given too high a dosage the medication effectively kicks into overdrive which is why I kept having such horrible symptoms. After I got a new psychiatrist, I told her of my experience and I was given the lowest dosage of medication possible and Jesus Christ I wish child/teen me knew what adult me knows now. I could not only focus properly but I could be myself, as well.
I've met so many doterra girlies because they do their convention right next to my college each year, and every time they do it I have to sit on the train with literal hundreds of them and they love to talk to me about them because I am usually polite and friendly enough to let them talk about it. It's honestly really sad hearing some of their stories, knowing that almost every single woman in the group had been through something horrifically traumatizing and coping with it in such an expensive and honestly dangerous way is sad. Using essential oils to cure illnesses is wrong, and this is coming from a Navajo who uses sage alongside cold medicine to help with my runny nose.
There's a difference between helping something like a cold with old natural medicine, I'm a Midwestern and use ginger ale for stomach aches, and claiming lavender oils cure cancer 😅
sometimes when i have a sore throat my mom or grandma will make me a scarf with potato slices and a very cold alcoholic substance and it usually works pretty well. the difference is that essential oils typically dont help very much with diseases/infections/etc, and especially not Literally Incurable ones like cancer...???
My mother is like that. She had been mistreated a lot by her family starting when she was 3yrs old and never like went to therapy, and all the feelings that are still stuck inside her, especially feeling betrayed, unsafe and threatened get protected onto docotrs and medicine. She gets very paranoid and psychotic about anything related to medical care and she seems to feel like she has power and control over her body but it essentially leader her refusing any medial care because she thinks docotrs are lying to her and exploiting and abusing her... last time I had spoken to her before breaking.contact she was treating her cancer that had already spread through the lymphatic nervous system with mistletoe.
The fact that he thought inner child work was just doing what he did as a child means he had a freaking wholesome childhood 😂 he has saved thousands on therapy
Honestly I was even a little disappointed when he didn't explain it further. Like, everyone I've met through therapy/ in the clinic, has gained so much through inner child work. It's really a great tool for childhood trauma
@@herkai06 I watched a youtube video about signs of childhood trauma and toxic family dynamics, and said to my boyfriend "you mean this isn't normal?" and he laughed knowing that I somehow ended up more fucked up than he did being bounced around by CPS lol
I’ve encountered people like this before, they’re the people who are like “you don’t need psych meds!” to me. And then I usually respond by explicitly describing my hallucinations, delusions, suicidal behaviors, and intrusive thoughts until they go away. People who think “it’s all in your head” are often skittish when faced with the deep reality of severe mental illness. Also as a psych major I am also extra pissed at her because you know what? Psychosomatic illness *is* a thing, you can have physical illnesses caused entirely by your mind. It’s an incredibly complex topic and recovery from it is complicated and difficult. So it’s like an extra slap in the face to people who do have psychosomatic illnesses to go “it’s all in your head but meditate and dab some essential oils and you’ll be fine 😊”
I'm so sorry to hear that, and unfortunately you're not alone. I'm bipolar and have adhd, and for years I believed that I was possessed by a demon because my hyper religious family refused to accept mental disabilities, and thus told me that I just had to pray more. My mom still tells me that she wishes that I would just stop taking my medications, and I'm like. Yes. Yes mother, so do I. Do you think I like this? But I need them, or else I'll do something I'd regret. (I still do, but not nearly as severe as it could be). Nowadays I usually go "I need these to not go insane, and if you'd take them you would go insane. But if they don't do anything, you can take them and see how it goes." It's taken nearly 26 years to be able to get to that point, but now I'm just so tired of it. Worst is that my mom got the brunt of my unmedicated mind, and she still stands by it being a lack of faith. Sorry for the rant, but I just feel with you and it's so so frustrating that I couldn't stop myself.
Thank you for bringing up the topic of psychosomatic illnesses!! I was so disappointed that this lady misrepresents some facts and they get totally discredited immediately. Of course, you cannot cure cancer by meditation. But yes, you can deal with physical symptoms with the help of psychotherapy IF the problem is psychogenic, and this is done only after the actual medical tests if they prove there's no pathology on the body level. And yes, from the psychoanalytic standpoint the symptoms are of symbolic or metaphorical nature if it's conversion disorder, and it works EXACTLY in the way that this guy mocks: "I don't want to see my husband", "I can't stand seeing the injustice" and so on. This is such a fascinating topic. I wish more people knew about it, but unfortunately when people see all this presented in commercial, spiritual and occult way, they throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Idk what I have (don’t want to pay yet to get evaluated) , but I been having extreme paranoia, and intrusive thoughts, and it’s crazy, cause I can be having a good time but then I can’t control my thoughts. Impossible to stop
@@mocapcow2933 sorry that I get involved in the conversation, I just wanted to ask where are you from? I heard that in the US the evaluation is insanely expensive. And in Eastern Europe it's even worse, it's like the surest way to be institutionalised, misdiagnosed and get an absurd combination of drugs. So depending on the availability of counseling psychology, psychotherapy, maybe even group therapy in your country, maybe it would be a good place to start. They can't like give you a diagnosis or a prescription, but they can help, direct or give you skills and instruments to mitigate the problems they can't work with. Also they have to organise a transfer of a client to a psychiatrist if necessary.
@@ivanshalimov2438 yeah US lmao. I’ll do it one day, there’s moments where it affects me bad, but my whole life I thought I was living normal. So it feels a bit normal
Anybody who suggests physical impairments are due to someone's mentality/emotions are blatantly uncomfortable with disabled people and think ur just not trying hard enough to not be disabled 🙄
Inner child work is a legitimate part of childhood trauma therapy (I'm literally doing it with a licensed therapist right now in conjunction with regular CBT). It's like. Trying to figure out things like - when you have a trauma response to something, is your response coming from a place of not having had your emotional needs met at a certain age? And then if yes, trying to figure out what you might have needed and helping your adult self do that. It can be as simple as learning to say no instead of fearing retaliation by reminding yourself that another adult isn't usually going to haul off and beat you for saying you have a scheduling conflict or something. Learning to recognize your core feelings and needs as valid. So it is VERY annoying to see people like her toss it around like some weird holistic buzzword because then whenever I talk about the legit therapy I've been doing I look frigging nuts. Anyway I've been doing that shit for years and uh, I still need contacts, so
the fucking internet has truly rotted my goddamn brain because you left this lovely, informative, and heartfelt comment about the amazing benefits of childhood trauma therapy but before reading all that all i saw was CBT in big capitol letters and my first thought was Cock and Ball Torture 😭💀🗿
I've been doing it too!! it was so hard for me to feel empathy for myself because the childhood abuse made me hate myself so deeply. i had to refer to my childhood self in third person while recalling so that I could feel what she went through. whenever I feel low, i still comfort myself in second person. inner child work is such a long healing process with so many ups and downs. i still can't believe how people can throw that term around so casually :(
this line made me wanna do some rhyming i see rain in a whole new plain i see lanes near a whole new cane i see raves inside a cool looking cave but seeing names feels like it's lame the exact same, with no new game the bane of me, not the best for me words combine, but they're not really sublime except sublime, that's cool like a rhyme i got no time, but time got me i go lie, but the truth came by i went why when my situation go looking like a pigsty
needing to wear glasses to see is so normalized that so many people dont realize that its a disability, so glad struggling to see is being treated like every other disability here!
For real, though. I think people with normal vision don't understand how vulnerable having bad vision makes you. My "good eye" is about 20/600 (meaning I can't even see the big E at the top of the chart without glasses/contacts). I had to have surgery a few years ago, and I had to go up to the surgical suite without my glasses and wait to go into the OR. I couldn't recognize anyone, in fact my surgeon walked right past me because I didn't show any signs of recognizing him. It was incredibly isolating and I felt extremely vulnerable. Glasses and contacts allow me to have a normal life. Without them, I would never be able to achieve my goals and dreams.
I would rather a disability, it's treatments, and its considerations be normalized, especially when it's a disability that is so common in the first place. Considering how more impactful and hard to treat disabilities tend to be treated by the majority of people, it's probably the best case scenario for it to be normalized.
Yeah like, if you’re like me, and you’re wearing -9 prescription glasses, you’re at a higher risk of developing glaucoma, cataracts and other eye diseases in the future.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Stepdad Kurtis, I lost my Dad whom I barely knew a few years back, but spent everyday with him till his end. Love you man❤, keep up the amazing work. I'm in Durham, I hope to bump into you one day 😊
One of my old friends got into the holistic community. I unfriended her after she told me that "you should think more positively, that will cure your depression and anxiety and fix your childhood trauma!" Like thanks dude, note taken, I will keep on masking with fake positivity until depression will finally drag me to the ultimate bottom. Never felt better!
I just wanted to say, fuk your friend, go you, face life as it comes (with bad and good things), get meds if you can, and keep being awesome. Commenting things like this make others facing similar things (ie depression) less alone. Strength to you this week!
I was supposed to make a website for a girl who said she was some type of bs holistic therapist. According to her she was studying this as a master's degree 🤣 and I had to basically turn her down because the content she wanted me to put on that website was so dumb and spreading potentially dangerous misinformation that I didn't want my name associated with her 😂
So your friend is not allowed to say what she feels. When though medical depression is a whole other ball game. You might have lost a good friend because you think you were better.
Fun fact: the eye drops the doc put in your eyes inhibits the iris constrictor muscles which in turn makes your pupils dilate. Because they are dilated, your eyes take in more light, which is why you experience the light sensitivity! Honestly, it’s pretty cool that this video upload coincided with a module we’re learning in class over the eye, since I’m able to recall the information. Great video as always, Kurt!! Feel free to correct/add info in the comments, I’m sure it’ll only help me learn even more since my exam is coming up!
@@brockfordjunktionyep! You can reject it, it just gives them a little advantage, I denied mine recently cause last year it lasted too long, like legit a whole day, don’t know what happened. But they said it’s okay and did the regular test ❤
As a child i wanted to "quit" having one of my allergies. and it WORKED. then as an adult i found out some allergies are pretty common to outgrow at specific ages, and it was actually just a coincidence 😅
i feel like thats how many of these scams start in the first place! they do something completely unrelated but because it works they think its the ''real cure'' for such things.
Man, I thought I wore glasses from a TBI where I damaged the ocular part of my brain. I had no idea it was because I was repressing emotions! Will meditate my ability to control my eye muscles back immediately. Thanks Kurtis!
Never expected Kurtis to talk about doterra. It’s like my crazy Mormon cousins are doing a crossover into my normal life Also, it’s so unsettling to be reading stuff that’s like actually good for your health like good diet, meditation, sleeping in the dark, and then suddenly the most out of pocket shit. Like holistic health is always like almost hitting the mark and then at the last minute missing so bad
They put actually healthy stuff in the middle so when the "patient" DOES get better, they will say it's their product. But in truth, it was the lifestyle changes like eating healthy and exercising, things actually recommended by science lol
My mother has the EXACT same mindset as this woman lol. Anytime I get for example a sore throat she’ll asked me if there’s something I’m scared of saying or if I feel I’m being silenced and that if we figure that out , I’ll feel better… LMAO
I love that you shared the story about your step father. It’s very clear that this woman is either completely removed from reality or a genuinely horrible person, and you telling your story makes it all the more clear
@@Lucaz99 yeah, although that's actually really common, as the mlm company itself isn't allowed (legally) to make these false claims, so they discourage their huns to make such claims too and will just distance themselves and say "we had nothing to do with that" if the huns make claims like that. And since the huns aren't actual employees of the company, the company isn't liable for these claims iirc. And well, the huns usually are incredibly desperate to make money with this flawed scheme thst won't work in their favor, so they oftentimes throw all morals aside
My Grandpa had 2 heart attacks in the hospital one time. I'm so glad that it wasn't the medical staff that helped him, it was my love and essential oils.
the craziest thing about this video isn't this woman's claims about curing people but the fact that in canada you can just get 2 eye exams in a week 😭 is healthcare envy a thing bc I have it
eye stuff isnt covered under canadian healthcare kurtis just has that youtube money 😭 in toronto depending on what you get an eye exam is gonna be upwards of like $80 😓
Living in Ontario, let me just clarify that you could pay $100-$150 Canadian for an eye exam, unless you have a private insurance plan that covers vision care. That's about $73-$109 US with the current exchange rate. It's not outrageous as far as healthcare costs go, even in Canada, but depending on your income, it's a pretty big chunk out of your wallet.
kurtis i relate to your experience with your stepdad, my aunt who raised me since i was 9 had a stroke back in 2022 and it was really hard on me and my family. she's permanently disabled to this day and couldn't raise me anymore afterwards so i had to move in with a different aunt (who really sucked). anyways i just wanted to say i appreciate you sharing your experience with that kind of grief, hope you're doing well
I was actually born with serious eye problems. Doctors told my mom that these problems started when she was about six months pregnant. So WHAT in my life EXACTLY could’ve caused this? Is it because I didn’t have any inner wisdom? 😂
Clearly you should've been taking spiritual classes in the womb, smh, that's what all the cool unborn infants are doing these days. (In all honesty they'd probably blame your mother not being spiritually and emotionally balanced while carrying you, let's be real ToT)
There is a group of people worldwide that believes that the peoblems you have in this life comes from you previous lifes, and the lifes of you parenrs grand parenta grandgrandgrandgrand etc. I dont know, maybe that?😂
As a brown-eyed man blue-eye fetishism is so strange to me and in my experience it's almost always a symptom of unchecked racism. Preferring blue eyes in a partner is fine, but there's a weird undercurrent of superiority when you're pitching procedures to make your eyes a different color.
@@stonedandstatic It's not any different than finding any other physical trait attractive (unless the basis of the attraction is for racist reasons ofc)
Blue eyes are pretty, brown eyes aren’t. 🤷🏻♀️ my bf even says he’d find me less attractive if I woke up one day with brown eyes and I said the same to him (he has green eyes) I’ve dated brown eyed guys, but I never thought their eyes were pretty. 😬 I find it funny that a day or 2 ago we were talking about how it sucks to have terrible vision, but then we both agreed we’d rather have bad vision than brown eyes.💀
@@thepalestpuertoricanI have blue/kind of grey eyes and I think brown eyes are beautiful. I think it's weird to say "brown eyes are ugly" like it's a fact and not just your opinion. Not to mention that billions of people have brown eyes and to boil it down to "all brown eyes are ugly" is insane.
This is giving the same vibes as the people that tell me “you just have to focus more! Get a planner! Use a calendar! That’ll cure your ADHD!” Aka the horrible jerks who refuse to believe people can just be disabled, and that there’s sometimes nothing you can do about it!
bit out of left field to drop a question here I know, but I'm curious, do you also get that thing where a reminder set on a device that happens every day, starts to blend in together with everything? I have something set for lack of any better option to tell me to check my meds to see if I need to get refills, but 99% of the time my brain is just going "notification is there, press thing to get rid of it, forget about it and move on", because I'm used to it. does that happen to you too? I've been wanting to ask someone
I get that too and it sucks. Even when I have gotten a planner, I can never remember to actually use it. And then they have the audacity to claim that being difficult when they're the ones refusing to accommodate you
Sometimes I forget that there’s people out there who genuinely just… don’t need glasses. I’m severely nearsighted and everyone I see daily needs them too, so to me it just feels normal to think everyone needs them.
My mom was actually a victim of the Doterra mlm scheme. She was starting to stray against modern medicine despite being a former RN. She would use these essential oils in our water, putting it on me and my sibling to cure migraines, period cramps, aches, etc. I can 100% assure you they do absolutely nothing. Thank god my mom got convinced and stopped, but they still send PR to her lmao
@@archivist_of_dragonstone Probably due to the trauma of taking care of patients their whole careers, even seeing some of them pass away in front of them. Some people witness this, don't know how to cope with it, see how modern medicine couldn't save them and slowly start drifting towards the less conventional methods thinking "I've seen modern medicine not work, I could help my family with a different method". Happens all the time with people who work in hospitals.
Honestly I'm just amazed how medically educated people can fall so hard down these kinds of rabbit holes. My mom is a doctor and while she is a rabid opponent of these kinds of essential oil scams because she knows what dosage of stuff actually is needed to have any effect on the body, a few years back she instead jumped on the crystal train. She had different crystals for every health condition from cold feet to knee pain to muscle cramps and whatnot, and was 100% convinced they work. She'd cleanse them on an amethyst bed in full moonlight and all that ridiculous stuff, saddened that they weren't recognized by the medical community as a valid treatment option, going on about mineral force fields and whatnot. And sure, a part of me wants to be like, there are always gonna be things we simply don't know yet and maybe in 50 years we'll find that certain rocks actually DO have whatever influence on the body simply by being near it, but... let's be real.
dude i know im 8 months late to saying this but in your videos you often have soundbytes play when you enter the frame, and this one is my favourite. "SIT DOWN" its so fucking funny 😭 its SO FUCKING FUNNY i lose it every time
Grifters like this are one of the best arguments for free, universal healthcare ever. Vision insurance coverage is often considered a luxury, and she definitely knows this and preys on it.
have you tried harder? i read that if you try harder, your muscles return from atrophy and actually start to age backwards! don't try TOO hard because then you'll get baby jelly legs and then you're right back to square one.

Hi :DD
Oh you’re 100% correct on the whole “blue eyes are cleaner than brown eyes” thing being massively troubling for a multitude of reasons, and surprisingly only the least concerning is her complete misunderstanding of how phenotypes work
The funny thing is, I have blue eyes and my vision is so blurry I can barely see my mom's face only 3 meters away. Even if my eyesight got worse after wearing glasses, I still couldn't see before.
Technically she's right that theres a blue eye under every brown eye.
You would have to use a laser to remove the pigmentation to see the blue though.
Also blue eyed people are more sensitive to light and see worse in the sun because less pigment makes their iris more translucent so it let's in more light.
Yeah it’s mainly racism
@@ohboilien oh an overwhelming majority.
@@iclynnx
My moms eyes are bad and she has chronic migraines and constantly wears sunglasses outside or else she will have a huge headache or migraine happen, she has blue eyes.
I actually fully believe that this woman would tell a wheelchair user "you're just afraid of taking the next step"
🤮
That AND probably not understand that people can use wheelchairs and not be completely paralyzed from the waist down in order to be wheelchair bound or require one for a disability or medical condition.
as a wheelchair user who isnt paralyzed she would prob tell me to just walk more and i'd get better. like dawg thats not how that works lmao.
Yes that is what he said in the video
As an ambulatory wheelchair user. Girlie would say “work out more” and expect me to not faceplant the moment i try to walk.
The fact that she implied blue eyes were the most desirable while also encouraging people to stare into the sun is wild. Mine are blue and i can’t even walk outside without squinting if it’s too bright
Not sure it this is correct but you at least get better night vision due to you eyes be more sensitive to light.
How much y'all wanna bet she's Mormon?
But blue eyes are more easily damaged through the sun
And the fact that she said that about blue eyes is just flabbergasting, like, girl really basically said white people(who got the highest likely hood of blue eyes), got the better vision,
people of color... Welp, no good Vision for you (I am aware people of color can have blue eyes btw but to have blue eyes you need to have European somewhere in your bloodline, also that recessive gene in DNA available or have genetic mutation)
@@courier6402that’s interesting cause I also have blue/grey eyes and I can’t go outside without sunglasses but I can see just fine at night or in low light conditions. I’m very sensitive to light I’ve always wished I had brown eyes instead I find them so much more beautiful, I don’t understand why people want blue eyes so much I’ll trade for brown or hazel or green any day
I have blue eyes too and can’t see anything in the summer 😂 it’s ironic because I’m pretty sure people with blue eyes have more problems and are more sensitive.
Oh my God, the tapping therapy. I used to have a therapist who recommended I try that for stress. It was okay at helping to calm down, but it worked as well as any focusing on any small task would. I broight that up to my therapist, and she kind of handwaved it as me "just getting started." That therapist would later send me a text message about */shocker/* vaccines causing autism.
I have a new therapist now.
Honestly, not a bad move! I hope you're not struggling as much as you were at the start.
Cool, a Medical professional that dismisses Medical procedures... Glad you found a new Therapist from that
Are they a registered therapist? If yes then they should be reported and get whatever licenses they might have revoked
This is the exact same energy as telling people with clinical depression to "just be happy"
Being happy 24/7 is literally just a whole other mental illness so that phrase is even more insane than it seems
Lol right! Just get over it. Just stop being anxious. Just stop being sad. Just stop being worried. Just stop being adhd ocd weird etc. not that it’s potentially a chemical imbalance - nah they don’t think that exists. You can will yourself better 😂 damn thanks no one ever thought about that right! Got cancer? Just will yourself to be better!
I had asthma until someone told me ''just breathe''
She’s a bit of a gift in a way, it’s objectively enraging to see her telling people to just stop not seeing when we know that it’s a physical change impeding them from having good vision. I want people to extrapolate how fucking stupid that sounds to better understand what people with mental health disorders mean when they say “I can’t do that” or “I’m not OK.”
I think my favorite meme about this concept is one where a depressed person is told to go outside more often, and the last panel is them wearily looking into the sunlight saying something to the effect of "Ah, yes! My childhood trauma, gone!"
as a nurse, I can tell you right now that not a single person put that oil around that man’s eyes to “heal him from his coma” she was the problematic family member that probably made a bunch of nurses lives hell for weeks on end
oml that person sounds like such a poo bag..i feel for u gurl
Lmao I was about to say that absolutely did not happen. She could show up and put it on herself if she wanted to. Or vegetable oil. Neither would do anything anyway.
woulda reccovered faster if she hadn't poisoned hi-
I'm not even a nurse, but when i heard her say that, i got viscerally angry. Nurses (etc) deal with enough as it is...y'all don't need all that goofy sh¡ added on top.😅🥴
Side note: thank you so much for everything you do. Nurses are greatly under paid and under appreciated. I hope that changes soon. Sending love & strength your way.💞💞💞
I also wonder about the whole "no hospital food" rule because I mean I've never had personal experience with a hospital for longer than a few hours, but could she or someone else in his family really be there to refuse hospital food for him and give him something else instead 24/7?
Thank you Samantha for teaching me that getting hit in the eye with a golf ball at age 7 was actually just a spiritual problem! I now have the blue eyes of a husky and 20/5 vision, and my pesky "EDS" has vanished after I stopped listening to Big Medical!

As someone who is mildly nearsighted (-2) when you don't wear you glasses for long enough, you get used to your bad vision, and it seems like it's normal. So that's probably what happened to this lady
This!! I had no idea how bad my vision had gotten until I got my first pair of bifocals and it was like my whole world became HD. Literally it was so different that I got dizzy at first because of how much detail I was suddenly seeing.
I didn’t realise you were supposed to be able to see leaves on trees until I got glasses for the first time
Yooo nearsighted gang!! -4.5 on left and -4 on right
Yup I had genuinely no idea that tv subtitles looking blurry/doubled from the opposite side of the room wasn’t normal until I mentioned it to my Nan who said to put her glasses on and holy shit it was wild how much better I could see, tho stuff right in front of my face was blurry lol.
Got my own glasses now and it’s so much better. Colours are brighter, writing looks sharper/clearer, I even don’t get tired as easy (prob cause I’m squinting less).
Even though I only need them for stuff that’s further away I just leave them on all the time, since the doc said there wouldn’t be negative effects on other parts of my vision for wearing them all the time.

Imagine being on the medical team that kept this lady's brother alive during his coma, providing him with complicated life-saving treatment that enabled him to recover from the brink of death... and then the family turns around and says "nah, you didn't do shit, all he needed was the essential oils from my MLM, bro"
Also she said 'they' put on the essential oils, not her.... which implies that she got the MEDICAL TEAM to put oil on him?? Jesus christ
i don’t even have to imagine that’s a super common thing medical staff has to deal with when they’re not being baselessly accused for poisoning people’s “spiritual energy”

@@KINGSREVENGE2you need to put some essential oils on those records. Also you liked your own comment so nah.
17:16 unironically yes they would say that to someone. I was in an argument with my birth mom and said “you wouldn’t tell a diabetic person not to take insulin” and her response was basically “actually I would. You can cure diabetes by just not eating sugar”

Hi, I'm an optometrist. A lot of people are commenting about the eye exercises. YES, looking far away as a way of taking a break from near work is very beneficial, look up the 20/20/20 rule. The eye movements that she recommends don't do anything (they also won't hurt anything) but they are NOT the same eye exercises used in vision therapy. Vision therapy has lots of research backing it up, and has specific movements and exercises to help the eyes work together better.
Hmm.. I wonder if some of the tasks they had me do in rehab therapy for a concussion would be considered Vision therapy as there were quite a few to work on eye hand coordination, eye tracking (getting my eyes to track at the same rate) and improving coordination and eye tracking while moving.
@notville_ You like kissing boys don't you?
That sounds way too reasonable to be true. I mean spiritually TRUE. lolz.
As a fellow optometrist, I support this comment 100%
Could you recommend any resources for where I can find exercises like that? :)
as someone who's worn glasses/contacts since preschool, i can confirm that this powerpoint presentation changed my life. now my eyes are fluorescent pink and attract small bugs at night. can't thank samaghntha enough
@ville2_wow, good one
You had contacts in preschool?
This has just got me thinking about how inconvenient bug attracting eyes would actually be 😂. My mum (who coincidentally has low vision - just above the point of being legally blind) had a bug fly into her eye once and had to go to emergency as she couldn't flush it out on her own. Based off her description of the experience, 0/10, would not recommend, better off not taking this magical vision course.
you know I’ve been NOT wearing my glasses for over a year now for no valid reasons honestly but this somehow convinced me to put them back on and schedule a new appointment idk how it worked but she fixed my eyesight I can see!!!
I haven't been wearing my glasses either!
Because I forgot to pack them when I travelled for uni.
So....
@@blakksheep736 felt. I have a horrible habit of forgetting them when I travel, and when I DO pack them they always end up in the ocean. I can be miles inland and I’ll still find an opportunity to drop them in the ocean. glasses stay safe at home where I can…. Not use them I guess? lol
@@minak5429 have you considered the possibility that your glasses are secretly a crustacean? 😆
The worst part about these “holistic healers” is that if you say it didn’t work, they can just say “you didn’t truly believe in what you were doing, so of course the affirmations didn’t work! You have to believe in it” like bro you’re describing a placebo effect right now
Or they include a few things that could actually help, like "eat healthy foods, don't spend too long looking at screens, get plenty of exercise" so on the off chance someone's health does improve in the intended way its literally just because of that
@@ameliemaynard4217 yep precisely that too.

@ville__Better? i hardly know her
One of them seeing this video would say "you got sick because your body was expelling all the toxins you built up before you began your healing journey!"
They'll claim this about any harmful thing they pitch: ozone therapy, drinking bleach, etc. I've seen quacks like this woman tell people to keep using black salve (do NOT look for pics of that if you're squeamish) after their skin began _rotting off_ because "that means it's working!" One woman lost her entire nose.
the joke abt telling a wheelchair user they're just afraid is extra funny to me bc I've been a paraplegic for 10 years now and I still get people telling me I just need to "work harder in therapy" (both physical and mental) like the nerves will just magically work if i manifest enough 💀

@@koridell1540Maybe there’s something wrong with your eyes. Try shrooms.
8:45 The best part about this is that we all *really* underestimate just how complex the human body is. We are literally symbiotic beings or millions of tiny living things working together in a way that keeps us moving. With that in mind it is easy to see that things can indeed happen inside the body for no reason other than the some cells aren't functioning as well as they used to, and mess up a function that keeps a part of our body operating a certain way. 👍
I remember listening to a Ted Talk of a woman born severely cross eyed. She had multiple surgeries to fix the condition, but at the end of the day all it did was cosmetically change her look. She had trouble in school from her inability to focus both eyes on a target, headaches from the strain, and she had never seen in 3D once in her life. The doctors said she never would. Against all odds, she became an optometrist, and as medical understanding grew, so too did her hopes. New exercises and treatments had proven reasonably effective at coordinating both eyes to focus at one point, and against all odds, in her late 40's after months of training with these techniques, she noticed that the faucet in her bathroom was floating. She went outside and could see how tree branches encompassed a space, in which other tree branches could occupy. She had spatial awareness and depth perception, for the first time in her life, she saw the world in 3D. She recounted crying in her car, overwhelmed by the before unseen world brought by that function of her vision.
If only that dumbass had just been spiritually enlightened at birth and willing to focus on the world and see it's horrors, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long.
_"She recounted crying in her car, overwhelmed by the unbefore unseen world"_ There's no chance this story is real. Someone with no depth perception or 3D vision would endanger society in a vehicle more than any drunk driver ever could. 100% lying. She'd never have a driver's license, she'd never own a car.
@@Dirk_Strider you ever considered that maybe she had, i don't know, a family member? a spouse? literally anyone else in her life who could drive her around?
@@luca6749”her car” does seem to suggest she’s the one who owns & drives it
When my grandma was really young, she had a lazy eye. They put an eye patch over her good eye to force her lazy eye to correct itself. Obviously it's different, but I wonder why they don't do that anymore
@@Dirk_Strider I actually didn't make the story or ted talk part up, looked it back up for you, her name is Sue Barry. Though I saw it years ago, I only listed what I remembered.
fun fact: You can get blue blocking glasses with prescription lenses. I know because I'm wearing them right now. So it's entirely possible that this woman is lying about not needing glasses anymore.
I'm almost 100 percent sure that's what's she's doing.
lol I didn't even think about this even though I too wear prescription glasses that have blue blocking built in haha
Also, from experience working in optics blue light damaging your eyes has very little scientific proof, to the extent that an optical chain here in the UK got in serious trouble for telling people that blue light glasses would reverse the progression of certain eye conditions.
@@BaBaBaBenny Dang! Yeah I have no idea if it actually does any real/longterm damage, I just know that I'm more likely to get a headache from staring at a screen all day without it. So I assume that it is short-term strain? But that's good the company got in trouble! You can't go around making unsubstantiated claims, and the idea that it would REVERSE certain eye conditions is absolutely bonkers in my opinion. That's the kind of bold claim you can only make after a LOT of well-designed rigorous, double blind, control trial type studies. Kind like you would to prove a certain medicine worked. That moves from "helps temporary symptoms of eye strain" (which might also be possible with a placebo) to "cures disease" territory!
That's what I thought too, I think her thought process was "shit I can't read this, it's whatever I'll just say they're blue light glasses"
Yknow reframing eye problems (or any medical issue) as a “spiritual problem” makes it super easy to say that people suffering a disability just “aren’t strong/spiritual enough.” Which is just a great thing to say to people, and also makes it so much easier to infantilize and marginalize them. They’re not victims silly, they’re weak, and deserving of punishment for personal failings! Thanks Samantha, hope everyone without blue eyes learns to correct their inherent impurities.
/s
Actually medical issues often do have a spiritual component, but in traditional Chinese medicine, the spirit is just the body and how it reacts to its environment. For example, cultures where scarcity is more prevalent, often people there have trouble losing weight in certain parts of their body. Because their bodies hold onto not only the weight, but the generational trauma that they don’t have enough so they need to conserve. It’s not because they’re spiritually weak. It’s just that their spirit suffered something and their body helps them cope.
@@MyatherosesThere body suffered and reacted to starvation like well bodies do. It isn’t a spiritual thing. It’s called having a human body that needs calories to function.
Like everything on this planet.

Don’t fall for this bullshit. You’re hurting the marginalized.

11:20 "Top Middle and Top DOWN" my eyes moved in the 5th dimension and now I cant see normally anymore.

As someone who grew up on actually using herbs and stuff for healing, the one thing I was taught is that yeah, it can work to an EXTENT- when I had a sore throat my mom made me elderberry tea, but when I got scarlet fever she didn’t put lavender oils on me
i know the feeling lmao 😭 my mom does reiki and yeah, when i get some random ass muscle cramps ill go to her... but if im having an allergic reaction i go find my epipen man 😭
Exactly, plus the reason why plants can be helpful is also scientifically based, just like medicine. Like you can research and go "yeah ginger is proven to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. sick!" and that's science for ya.
@@finpin2622 As Tim Minchin so wonderfully put it in his piece called Storm,
"On the contrary Storm, actually,
Before we came to tea,
I took a natural remedy derived from the bark of a willow tree
A painkiller that's virtually side-effect free
It's got a weird name, darling, what was it again?
M-maspirin? Baspirin? Oh yeah! Aspirin!
Which I paid about a buck for down at the local drugstore."
So many people forget that we derive quite a lot from plants for use in our medicine.
a lot of herbs do help (and some are even prescribed along with actual meds where I'm from) because plenty of "active ingredients" were first found in/extracted from plants; they are less effective but can sometimes be used to decrease the impact on a patient's liver (esp when they are already taking other medicine) ((that being said there are questions of side effects and allergic reactions and such, so like with most things self-medication must be in moderation))
@@citruslemonade3326 there is also the fact that it is harder to control the doses with herb and stuff, so someone might accidentally taking too little or too much. unlike regular medication, which is thoroughly controlled to make sure it is exactly the dose it needs to be.
I was in a coma for two months (medically induced), and I was terrified I was out for that long. So it's just disgusting when people claim that pointless garbage like essential oils and faith are what healed someone in a coma. No. It was the medical staff that worked around the clock to make sure that person survived and tried to do everything possible to make sure they had a chance at survival.

Your videos always calm me down and make me laugh, this video is helping me alot and i think youre amazing. Thank you so much kurtis, you will always be the best mayor! ❤
the infertility and cancer healing in particular kill me. i'm dealing with infertility issues and know full well how desperate some women can be for an answer when there sometimes just isn't one. how cruel.
yeah. The cancer one seems to be the most insensitive too. Claiming to cure Infertility is one thing but then claiming the same which is the 2nd leadest cause for deaths in the US each year is even more incentive. I have family that have gone through both issues and that women seems cruel and sick
God the cancer one hurts me so bad. People who are too poor to afford treatment may turn to this as a solution instead. It could kill people.
One of the worst things about the internet is how snake oil sellers are able to platform themselves
Speaking as someone who used to wear glasses (for nearsighted+astigmatism in one eye, and slightly farsighted in the other) and then stopped wearing them over 5 years ago because the glasses were more trouble than they were worth and gave me eyestrain headaches, I can confidently say... that I did need glasses. And still do. Just not the ones I had. Turned out my slightly farsighted eye was actually slightly nearsighted. Which would explain the headaches. I got new glasses with a more accurate prescription a couple weeks ago and dude that shit is insane. I can freakin see. I have depth perception for the first time in five years. Keeping these things clean enough to see through is a pain but goddang it's worth it to have TWO WORKING EYES for the first time in half a decade. B)
glasses headaches blow, maybe i need to get my prescription changed.
super happy for you!!!!!
Oh man, I have a farsighted eye with astigmatism and a nearsighted eye with slight astigmatism! The lack of depth perception really does suck.
The depth perception thing! For a long time I kept falling into little potholes and once even a gutter and I didn't know why I just couldn't judge depth until later when I got diagnosed with astigmatism
I had the same exact issue when I was taking medication for ADHD. Would constantly be a zombie, not eating or drinking. Just focusing on the task at hand until my eyes were sore and my lips were chapped. It. Was. Awful. Ended up convincing my mother when I was 16 to stop giving me my medication because it was just ruining me physically and emotionally. Years later I learned that if you're given too high a dosage the medication effectively kicks into overdrive which is why I kept having such horrible symptoms. After I got a new psychiatrist, I told her of my experience and I was given the lowest dosage of medication possible and Jesus Christ I wish child/teen me knew what adult me knows now. I could not only focus properly but I could be myself, as well.
I'd appreciate it if you'd listen to some of the records I've done. Ur honest thoughts on em would mean a lot. Thanks fam and have a great week 🙏🏾❤️🔥
I've met so many doterra girlies because they do their convention right next to my college each year, and every time they do it I have to sit on the train with literal hundreds of them and they love to talk to me about them because I am usually polite and friendly enough to let them talk about it. It's honestly really sad hearing some of their stories, knowing that almost every single woman in the group had been through something horrifically traumatizing and coping with it in such an expensive and honestly dangerous way is sad. Using essential oils to cure illnesses is wrong, and this is coming from a Navajo who uses sage alongside cold medicine to help with my runny nose.
your username makes this comment even better
There's a difference between helping something like a cold with old natural medicine, I'm a Midwestern and use ginger ale for stomach aches, and claiming lavender oils cure cancer 😅
sometimes when i have a sore throat my mom or grandma will make me a scarf with potato slices and a very cold alcoholic substance and it usually works pretty well. the difference is that essential oils typically dont help very much with diseases/infections/etc, and especially not Literally Incurable ones like cancer...???
My mother is like that. She had been mistreated a lot by her family starting when she was 3yrs old and never like went to therapy, and all the feelings that are still stuck inside her, especially feeling betrayed, unsafe and threatened get protected onto docotrs and medicine. She gets very paranoid and psychotic about anything related to medical care and she seems to feel like she has power and control over her body but it essentially leader her refusing any medial care because she thinks docotrs are lying to her and exploiting and abusing her... last time I had spoken to her before breaking.contact she was treating her cancer that had already spread through the lymphatic nervous system with mistletoe.
Thank you, Navajo Jotaro.

I was hoping you would cover this 😭 I’ve been wearing glasses since kindergarten so this lady claiming they’re a scam is just so wild to me
Anythings a scam if you're stupid enough
NO! The glasses have obviously possessed you 😡🙄
You just don’t believe hard enough 🤚
That’s because you’ve been totally brainwashed since kindergarten by everyone around you! Glasses truthers 4ever (come to the blurry side)
Have you ever considered just not needing glasses?😂
The fact that he thought inner child work was just doing what he did as a child means he had a freaking wholesome childhood 😂 he has saved thousands on therapy
Also, I'm pretty sure "bathe in nature" was meant metaphorically, as in go enjoy and appreciate nature, but his take was much better 😂
Honestly I was even a little disappointed when he didn't explain it further. Like, everyone I've met through therapy/ in the clinic, has gained so much through inner child work. It's really a great tool for childhood trauma
@@1eyed_songbirdsame lol i forgot that not everyone has childhood trauma 😭
@@herkai06it's such a foreign concept😅
@@herkai06 I watched a youtube video about signs of childhood trauma and toxic family dynamics, and said to my boyfriend "you mean this isn't normal?" and he laughed knowing that I somehow ended up more fucked up than he did being bounced around by CPS lol
I’ve encountered people like this before, they’re the people who are like “you don’t need psych meds!” to me. And then I usually respond by explicitly describing my hallucinations, delusions, suicidal behaviors, and intrusive thoughts until they go away. People who think “it’s all in your head” are often skittish when faced with the deep reality of severe mental illness.
Also as a psych major I am also extra pissed at her because you know what? Psychosomatic illness *is* a thing, you can have physical illnesses caused entirely by your mind. It’s an incredibly complex topic and recovery from it is complicated and difficult. So it’s like an extra slap in the face to people who do have psychosomatic illnesses to go “it’s all in your head but meditate and dab some essential oils and you’ll be fine 😊”
I'm so sorry to hear that, and unfortunately you're not alone. I'm bipolar and have adhd, and for years I believed that I was possessed by a demon because my hyper religious family refused to accept mental disabilities, and thus told me that I just had to pray more. My mom still tells me that she wishes that I would just stop taking my medications, and I'm like. Yes. Yes mother, so do I. Do you think I like this? But I need them, or else I'll do something I'd regret. (I still do, but not nearly as severe as it could be).
Nowadays I usually go "I need these to not go insane, and if you'd take them you would go insane. But if they don't do anything, you can take them and see how it goes." It's taken nearly 26 years to be able to get to that point, but now I'm just so tired of it. Worst is that my mom got the brunt of my unmedicated mind, and she still stands by it being a lack of faith.
Sorry for the rant, but I just feel with you and it's so so frustrating that I couldn't stop myself.
Thank you for bringing up the topic of psychosomatic illnesses!! I was so disappointed that this lady misrepresents some facts and they get totally discredited immediately.
Of course, you cannot cure cancer by meditation. But yes, you can deal with physical symptoms with the help of psychotherapy IF the problem is psychogenic, and this is done only after the actual medical tests if they prove there's no pathology on the body level. And yes, from the psychoanalytic standpoint the symptoms are of symbolic or metaphorical nature if it's conversion disorder, and it works EXACTLY in the way that this guy mocks: "I don't want to see my husband", "I can't stand seeing the injustice" and so on.
This is such a fascinating topic. I wish more people knew about it, but unfortunately when people see all this presented in commercial, spiritual and occult way, they throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Idk what I have (don’t want to pay yet to get evaluated) , but I been having extreme paranoia, and intrusive thoughts, and it’s crazy, cause I can be having a good time but then I can’t control my thoughts. Impossible to stop
@@mocapcow2933 sorry that I get involved in the conversation, I just wanted to ask where are you from? I heard that in the US the evaluation is insanely expensive. And in Eastern Europe it's even worse, it's like the surest way to be institutionalised, misdiagnosed and get an absurd combination of drugs. So depending on the availability of counseling psychology, psychotherapy, maybe even group therapy in your country, maybe it would be a good place to start. They can't like give you a diagnosis or a prescription, but they can help, direct or give you skills and instruments to mitigate the problems they can't work with. Also they have to organise a transfer of a client to a psychiatrist if necessary.
@@ivanshalimov2438 yeah US lmao. I’ll do it one day, there’s moments where it affects me bad, but my whole life I thought I was living normal. So it feels a bit normal
Anybody who suggests physical impairments are due to someone's mentality/emotions are blatantly uncomfortable with disabled people and think ur just not trying hard enough to not be disabled 🙄
Inner child work is a legitimate part of childhood trauma therapy (I'm literally doing it with a licensed therapist right now in conjunction with regular CBT). It's like. Trying to figure out things like - when you have a trauma response to something, is your response coming from a place of not having had your emotional needs met at a certain age? And then if yes, trying to figure out what you might have needed and helping your adult self do that. It can be as simple as learning to say no instead of fearing retaliation by reminding yourself that another adult isn't usually going to haul off and beat you for saying you have a scheduling conflict or something. Learning to recognize your core feelings and needs as valid. So it is VERY annoying to see people like her toss it around like some weird holistic buzzword because then whenever I talk about the legit therapy I've been doing I look frigging nuts.
Anyway I've been doing that shit for years and uh, I still need contacts, so
the fucking internet has truly rotted my goddamn brain because you left this lovely, informative, and heartfelt comment about the amazing benefits of childhood trauma therapy but before reading all that all i saw was CBT in big capitol letters and my first thought was Cock and Ball Torture 😭💀🗿
I've been doing it too!! it was so hard for me to feel empathy for myself
because the childhood abuse made me hate myself so deeply. i had to refer to my childhood self in third person while recalling so that I could feel what she went through. whenever I feel low, i still comfort myself in second person. inner child work is such a long healing process with so many ups and downs. i still can't believe how people can throw that term around so casually :(
As a fellow trauma therapist, all of this. The new age “spirituality” is so harming and infuriating.
you're doing regular cock and ball torture?
Right? Also my parents love me and I had a nice childhood and i still need glasses and have since I was six lol
“I see pain in a whole new pain” is such a line
in that same slide she also misspelled ‘differently’ 😂
this line made me wanna do some rhyming
i see rain in a whole new plain
i see lanes near a whole new cane
i see raves inside a cool looking cave
but seeing names feels like it's lame
the exact same, with no new game
the bane of me, not the best for me

i go lie, but the truth came by

@40kore complete heat.
needing to wear glasses to see is so normalized that so many people dont realize that its a disability, so glad struggling to see is being treated like every other disability here!
Am I disabled if my good eye is 20/100?/gen
For real, though. I think people with normal vision don't understand how vulnerable having bad vision makes you. My "good eye" is about 20/600 (meaning I can't even see the big E at the top of the chart without glasses/contacts). I had to have surgery a few years ago, and I had to go up to the surgical suite without my glasses and wait to go into the OR.
I couldn't recognize anyone, in fact my surgeon walked right past me because I didn't show any signs of recognizing him. It was incredibly isolating and I felt extremely vulnerable.
Glasses and contacts allow me to have a normal life. Without them, I would never be able to achieve my goals and dreams.
Underrated comment tbh
I would rather a disability, it's treatments, and its considerations be normalized, especially when it's a disability that is so common in the first place.
Considering how more impactful and hard to treat disabilities tend to be treated by the majority of people, it's probably the best case scenario for it to be normalized.
Yeah like, if you’re like me, and you’re wearing -9 prescription glasses, you’re at a higher risk of developing glaucoma, cataracts and other eye diseases in the future.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Stepdad Kurtis, I lost my Dad whom I barely knew a few years back, but spent everyday with him till his end. Love you man❤, keep up the amazing work. I'm in Durham, I hope to bump into you one day 😊
One of my old friends got into the holistic community. I unfriended her after she told me that "you should think more positively, that will cure your depression and anxiety and fix your childhood trauma!"
Like thanks dude, note taken, I will keep on masking with fake positivity until depression will finally drag me to the ultimate bottom. Never felt better!
I just wanted to say, fuk your friend, go you, face life as it comes (with bad and good things), get meds if you can, and keep being awesome. Commenting things like this make others facing similar things (ie depression) less alone. Strength to you this week!
@@eugescarabLike, I know I’m not alone, still doesn’t make it better
I was supposed to make a website for a girl who said she was some type of bs holistic therapist. According to her she was studying this as a master's degree 🤣 and I had to basically turn her down because the content she wanted me to put on that website was so dumb and spreading potentially dangerous misinformation that I didn't want my name associated with her 😂
You can't just become happy
So your friend is not allowed to say what she feels. When though medical depression is a whole other ball game. You might have lost a good friend because you think you were better.
Fun fact: the eye drops the doc put in your eyes inhibits the iris constrictor muscles which in turn makes your pupils dilate. Because they are dilated, your eyes take in more light, which is why you experience the light sensitivity! Honestly, it’s pretty cool that this video upload coincided with a module we’re learning in class over the eye, since I’m able to recall the information. Great video as always, Kurt!! Feel free to correct/add info in the comments, I’m sure it’ll only help me learn even more since my exam is coming up!
Another fun fact is you don't need to use the eye drops to do a regular eye test for most people.
i also think youre not supposed to drive after that LOL
Correct, you're not supposed to drive because your vision is impaired.
@@brockfordjunktionyep! You can reject it, it just gives them a little advantage, I denied mine recently cause last year it lasted too long, like legit a whole day, don’t know what happened. But they said it’s okay and did the regular test ❤
@@brockfordjunktionyeah my doc only does them once every few years to check i think. i go yearly because my vision is bad
As a child i wanted to "quit" having one of my allergies. and it WORKED. then as an adult i found out some allergies are pretty common to outgrow at specific ages, and it was actually just a coincidence 😅
I wish I were u, I've had the opposite happen to me lmfao. I've had allergies since I was 13 ,, didn't know how lucky I was as a kid
@@skribblefingers9724ugh same. I developed allergies at 15 and now I can't have oranges AT ALL
Every seven years our body change through cell regeneration, which can cause new or old allergies to appear or disappear… pretty trippy!
Or was it? Lol
i feel like thats how many of these scams start in the first place! they do something completely unrelated but because it works they think its the ''real cure'' for such things.
Man, I thought I wore glasses from a TBI where I damaged the ocular part of my brain. I had no idea it was because I was repressing emotions! Will meditate my ability to control my eye muscles back immediately. Thanks Kurtis!
Never expected Kurtis to talk about doterra. It’s like my crazy Mormon cousins are doing a crossover into my normal life
Also, it’s so unsettling to be reading stuff that’s like actually good for your health like good diet, meditation, sleeping in the dark, and then suddenly the most out of pocket shit. Like holistic health is always like almost hitting the mark and then at the last minute missing so bad
i knew two mormon families who swore by doTERRA and a mega church family who swore by Young Living! what a coincidence!!
They put actually healthy stuff in the middle so when the "patient" DOES get better, they will say it's their product. But in truth, it was the lifestyle changes like eating healthy and exercising, things actually recommended by science lol
@@kasideeshefka4815 not a coincidence at all. mlms are big with religious folk
My mother has the EXACT same mindset as this woman lol. Anytime I get for example a sore throat she’ll asked me if there’s something I’m scared of saying or if I feel I’m being silenced and that if we figure that out , I’ll feel better… LMAO
My mother has SO many doterra products aswell
Oh Lord, that's so annoying I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
omg same but with jesus “are you right with jesus? get right with him and you’ll be better tomorrow” like mom no
Your mother is batshit crazy and I say that being someone who has severe psychosis.
my mom does this with my depression or if I have a panic attack. she'll be like you can get thru it if you believe 🤣🤣
I love that you shared the story about your step father. It’s very clear that this woman is either completely removed from reality or a genuinely horrible person, and you telling your story makes it all the more clear
Considering she's clearly in an mlm, a really bad one even for mlm standards at that… probably both
@@tezzanoiaeven the bad mlm she was in was like
“Yo, we sell panaceas but curing blindness is just too ridiculous, she doesn’t represent us”
CRAZY!
@@Lucaz99 yeah, although that's actually really common, as the mlm company itself isn't allowed (legally) to make these false claims, so they discourage their huns to make such claims too and will just distance themselves and say "we had nothing to do with that" if the huns make claims like that. And since the huns aren't actual employees of the company, the company isn't liable for these claims iirc. And well, the huns usually are incredibly desperate to make money with this flawed scheme thst won't work in their favor, so they oftentimes throw all morals aside
I'll join you in the drinks, just lemme know when to start. Another great vid! Just discovered this channel, starting binge-watch now.
My Grandpa had 2 heart attacks in the hospital one time. I'm so glad that it wasn't the medical staff that helped him, it was my love and essential oils.
the craziest thing about this video isn't this woman's claims about curing people but the fact that in canada you can just get 2 eye exams in a week 😭 is healthcare envy a thing bc I have it
In the US you can get one for like $60 so I assume he could afford it even if he had to pay for it
eye stuff isnt covered under canadian healthcare kurtis just has that youtube money 😭 in toronto depending on what you get an eye exam is gonna be upwards of like $80 😓
Jeez, an eyetest in the UK costs around £15 (about $18 USD) if someone's not eligible for free NHS optical care.
Living in Ontario, let me just clarify that you could pay $100-$150 Canadian for an eye exam, unless you have a private insurance plan that covers vision care. That's about $73-$109 US with the current exchange rate. It's not outrageous as far as healthcare costs go, even in Canada, but depending on your income, it's a pretty big chunk out of your wallet.
I get free yearly eye exams because I am diabetic!
Never in my life have I heard the phrase "queefing out eyeballs" but leave it to this man to make dreams I didn't even know I had come true.
kurtis i relate to your experience with your stepdad, my aunt who raised me since i was 9 had a stroke back in 2022 and it was really hard on me and my family. she's permanently disabled to this day and couldn't raise me anymore afterwards so i had to move in with a different aunt (who really sucked). anyways i just wanted to say i appreciate you sharing your experience with that kind of grief, hope you're doing well
I was actually born with serious eye problems. Doctors told my mom that these problems started when she was about six months pregnant. So WHAT in my life EXACTLY could’ve caused this? Is it because I didn’t have any inner wisdom? 😂
Because babies are dumb, baby geniuses was a propaganda tool
Clearly you should've been taking spiritual classes in the womb, smh, that's what all the cool unborn infants are doing these days.

You should ask your mom why she didn't stare into the sun more! Do you at least shampoo with only lemon essential oil???
As a brown-eyed man blue-eye fetishism is so strange to me and in my experience it's almost always a symptom of unchecked racism. Preferring blue eyes in a partner is fine, but there's a weird undercurrent of superiority when you're pitching procedures to make your eyes a different color.
Even preferring eye color in a partner seems weird lol. I could not understand picking someone I want to spend my life with based on eye color 😭

@@stonedandstatic It's not any different than finding any other physical trait attractive (unless the basis of the attraction is for racist reasons ofc)
Blue eyes are pretty, brown eyes aren’t. 🤷🏻♀️ my bf even says he’d find me less attractive if I woke up one day with brown eyes and I said the same to him (he has green eyes) I’ve dated brown eyed guys, but I never thought their eyes were pretty. 😬 I find it funny that a day or 2 ago we were talking about how it sucks to have terrible vision, but then we both agreed we’d rather have bad vision than brown eyes.💀
@@thepalestpuertoricanI have blue/kind of grey eyes and I think brown eyes are beautiful. I think it's weird to say "brown eyes are ugly" like it's a fact and not just your opinion. Not to mention that billions of people have brown eyes and to boil it down to "all brown eyes are ugly" is insane.
This is giving the same vibes as the people that tell me “you just have to focus more! Get a planner! Use a calendar! That’ll cure your ADHD!” Aka the horrible jerks who refuse to believe people can just be disabled, and that there’s sometimes nothing you can do about it!
Oh god I get that too 😶 just "you gotta get organized!" "why don't you just do your homework?" like man it ain't that easy 😭
bit out of left field to drop a question here I know, but I'm curious, do you also get that thing where a reminder set on a device that happens every day, starts to blend in together with everything? I have something set for lack of any better option to tell me to check my meds to see if I need to get refills, but 99% of the time my brain is just going "notification is there, press thing to get rid of it, forget about it and move on", because I'm used to it. does that happen to you too? I've been wanting to ask someone
@@uncroppedsoopyes it happens to me all the time
Able bodied people cannot fathom that you can literally wake up disabled and there is no treatment or cure and that can happen to anyone at any time.
I get that too and it sucks. Even when I have gotten a planner, I can never remember to actually use it. And then they have the audacity to claim that being difficult when they're the ones refusing to accommodate you
Sometimes I forget that there’s people out there who genuinely just… don’t need glasses. I’m severely nearsighted and everyone I see daily needs them too, so to me it just feels normal to think everyone needs them.
All jokes aside I hope you’re recovering from the passing of your step-dad. We love you Kurtis! 🔥

My mom was actually a victim of the Doterra mlm scheme. She was starting to stray against modern medicine despite being a former RN. She would use these essential oils in our water, putting it on me and my sibling to cure migraines, period cramps, aches, etc. I can 100% assure you they do absolutely nothing. Thank god my mom got convinced and stopped, but they still send PR to her lmao
What desperation does to a mf
It never ceases to amaze me how some nurses, trained and degreed nurses, can be so rabidly anti-medicine.
@@archivist_of_dragonstone Probably due to the trauma of taking care of patients their whole careers, even seeing some of them pass away in front of them. Some people witness this, don't know how to cope with it, see how modern medicine couldn't save them and slowly start drifting towards the less conventional methods thinking "I've seen modern medicine not work, I could help my family with a different method". Happens all the time with people who work in hospitals.
Putting them in your WATER?
Honestly I'm just amazed how medically educated people can fall so hard down these kinds of rabbit holes. My mom is a doctor and while she is a rabid opponent of these kinds of essential oil scams because she knows what dosage of stuff actually is needed to have any effect on the body, a few years back she instead jumped on the crystal train. She had different crystals for every health condition from cold feet to knee pain to muscle cramps and whatnot, and was 100% convinced they work. She'd cleanse them on an amethyst bed in full moonlight and all that ridiculous stuff, saddened that they weren't recognized by the medical community as a valid treatment option, going on about mineral force fields and whatnot.
And sure, a part of me wants to be like, there are always gonna be things we simply don't know yet and maybe in 50 years we'll find that certain rocks actually DO have whatever influence on the body simply by being near it, but... let's be real.
