Hearing the one anecdote from the woman who sold her friend with cancer the nothing device and she stopped her chemotherapy is crazy. Then she goes on to say it metastasized, like zero empathy or remorse that she basically guaranteed a cancer death for her friend
Ah, but "having the chance to enjoy going on holidays now" makes up for it though, right? It's not like completing your prescribed cancer therapy with the chance of it going into remission makes any difference. Oh, wait. These people are so heartless but word things in a way to make it sound like it is a better alternative. They really have sold their souls.
"Friend" aye. All that that woman had in the end was greed, thanks to this. They'd sacrifice their own dying parents to make some quick money once they're lost to schemes like this
as someone who survived a particularly nasty terminal diagnosis, I CANNOT stand people who push the notion that chemotherapy is some nasty, poison and you'd be better doing x,y or z. is it a horrid chemical? yes most of the time it is. is it life saving and necessary? YES! it is not up to grifters and weirdos who like to push quacky shit or veganism or positive mentality etc. etc. to tell people these fucking things that sound like unicorns and rainbows compared to the reality of the horrid side affects of cancer drugs when patients should put their faith in their doctors and medical teams instead of being sold these life threatening ideals from people who have NEVER been in their shoes!!! makes me foam at the mouth

It's crazy what people will believe in when they realize they have no hope. I knew a family where their father had gotten cancer and his wife was making him drink all sorts of weird concoctions because it was terminal. Eventually he convinced her to let him take his pain meds to go to sleep and she agreed. It was heartbreaking to see all the things she wanted to believe other than the bitter truth. She would've bought one of these if she had known about it.

I love how the title literally calls it an "evil scam" and then the video has a disclaimer basically saying "for legal reasons, that's a joke" Well played
This is the same problem most people have talking about MLMs because many of them are just a Ponzi scheme and use technicalities to avoid falling into the legal definition of a Ponzi scheme, so you say it's a general scam and they sue you because "per the law [we're] not a Ponzi scheme". Take away the compulsory orders that show up whether you explicitly order something or not and oops now it's legally a scam, etc. Just one non-critical piece missing and now it falls into the legal definition.
well on the german channel they dropped an update. They got threatened with a cease and desist. But won in the end. So yeah they still tried to sue them. They told em delete the Videos or youll get a fine for about 250.000€. Fern won though in all points and they didnt have to delete anything.
Thank you! Healthcare is expensive enough in many countries. Making videos like this which expose these malicious scams is incredibly important work for humanity.
The sad part is, once you're in the circle real doctors mean nothing and "hidden knowledge" is everything. It's extremely hard to convince these people otherwise. I'm speaking from personal experience.
Some health professionals believe in the effectiveness of these products too. My GP, for example, believes in those bio-resonance devices that claim to be able to do most of the blood tests with one scan; blood tests that can cost up to several thousand at a lab. She even spent a few thousand on one but at least charges €50 per scan, but the saddest part is that she actually believes it is reliable. She even offered me a free scan to convince me but managed to scare the crap out of me because it showed that I was low in vitamin D, calcium, iron, and copper; also slightly anemic. I went to an actual lab and everything was within normal values. I went back and showed her the results. She never brought up the topic again but still works with it nontheless.
It's wild how scammers are like planets orbiting around us, making us the center of their universe. They're everywhere, sneaky and persistent, trying all sorts of tricks just to swipe our cash.
I think something important to consider is the incredible power of the placebo effect, especially in treating pain. There is a huge mental element to how we experience pain. This is why we see people claiming Healy reduced their pain. In reality, it's not the device, it's the _belief_ that their pain is being treated that is at work here. And this is not to say the placebo effect is a bad or "fraudulent" thing in healthcare. Of course, pain is usually a symptom of a physiological issue that needs medical intervention (medication, surgery, physical therapy). But, especially in recovery and chronic pain, there's a cognitive element to it too. It highlights just how important it is for medical professionals to educate people with chronic pain on how cognitive strategies and psychoeducation can reduce their pain.
i was looking for a comment like this. so many people saying “how can people be this dumb” or “it’s an obvious scam” but to someone who is in pain and feels like they’ve exhausted all other options healy could make perfect sense in their mind. not to mention they specifically targeted these people and used very specific marketing because that’s who they need their customers to be..people who are vulnerable and looking for answers
So glad to see this comment. The placebo affect can save lives. Pain is a mental battle. I've lived it, and sometimes hope works better than any chemical concoction.
Even crazier is the fact that this is the small Team. The Main Channel called 'Simplicissimus' is bigger and Puts even more effort into their Videos. Unfortunately its German so the audience is smaller. But the quality of the German Videos is still a bit better but i think they will get there Love from Germany (I apologies If my Englisch is Bad...i only learned it for a few years in school)
the final quote with the context removed to make it seem like it's disparaging Healy itself was such an amazing play. Also, the rest of the video was amazing, obviously
It's insane how still to this day people are gullible. I've been dragged to a couple of such presentations by my ex-friends in my past and have always called it out for what they were and the misbelief in otherw eyes has been honestly scary.
my ex was suckered into in a frequency machine thats similar just much larger. When my dad had cancer she kept saying "don't take the meds, use my machine". she kept wanting to come over to my place and get my dad to use her witchcraft device. Granted that relationship didn't last long
This was a truly high quality investigation and i commend you guys for all the hard work. It surprises me how people fall for such "esoteric" things. Like, i get it, they don't like science & big tech, cuz they're not well educated, but even so, thinking that a shoddy device that clearly states that there's no science backing it up, is an actual cancer healing device, is really sad to see. Edit: added cancer.
It's not even a matter of education, really. People need to believe in something, to have hope, and nobody needs more hope than the desperate. These corporations are on another level of evil.
@@glasprinzessin i understand desperation, but when i hear that someone stops taking chemo and focuses on these kinds of scams and then actually dies, it's nothing short of heartbreaking, even though i don't know them. Like i wonder if the family then thinks of the repercussions of using such ways, you know what i mean?
@@miaferrari958 "It's not even a matter of education" Can you actually back this up or are you just pulling this out of your behind? I see no way how a person somewhat knowledgeable on medicine, biology, and/or electronics could possibly ever fall for such a thing.
They're mostly from third world countries. Like, there's no way to say this without it coming off wrong but statistics are facts, if they have a Philippine or Non-English accent, they probably aren't pitching you anything legit.
There has to be some sort of hole in their company's legality that can be used against them to file a lawsuit. This multi-million dollar HEIST must end, and the perpetrators must serve LIFE in prison for all the economic damage they've caused to innocent people
Your narration is great. Reminds me of Kevin, the narrator for Defunctland. He also covers failed things, but amusement parks. This channel covers all other product failures and disasters I need lol
My scam-meter pings, like a Geiger counter at the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, every time I hear the word "quantum" used in a product description. It's right up there with, "Our customer service call center is located in Salt Lake City, Utah" or "Incorporated in Delaware".
Hi there! What's wrong with Salt Lake City or Delaware? I just have never heard anything suspicious about these places (probably because I'm from another continent).
I have a friend that buys all these shit. He bought a "scanner" for 30k!!!!! I got speechless. Basically it says it heals everything, however when his mom got a severe depression, he asked me for help (as a psychiatrist). It's sad but there are scammers and people willing to get scammed. He's an antivax bla bla...
the Healy helped me of my back pain... I always had to carry around my heavy thick wallet, Healy helped me with that. Now all my money is gone and my wallet is nice thin and light...
I went on youtube and saw how the device works. It is kind of convoluted. It is crazy how there were some smart people who coded and engineered the app and the device and knew they were going to scam people and did it anyways. It is kind of scary how people could make a good living by just getting a technical job but instead get greedy and use their skills to scam people and gain millions instead of hundreds of thousands per year.
As someone who is from Kazakhstan & currently living in the Netherlands, I can say that MLMs and pyramid schemes are a big issue in Kazakhstan due to a lack of financial education among the public, economic instability, and lack of trust in public institutions due to incompetence and rampant corruption
The less trust people have in their official institutions - the more they will fall for this western feel good crap. Because "Hey, it's from Austria, and Austria is like - the most richest country with the best everything. Surely they wouldn't fool us like our government would!" It's especially prevelant amongst the Gen X and Boomer populations of post Soviet states, who have 0 market education, because basically no free markets existed in their time.
same as a kazakhstani living in the states now. it’s always hard to hear stories about how so many folks from my home country are getting scammed like this
Это точно, многие мои знакомые и даже родственники повелись на разные подобные удочки. Помню, как в середине нулевых мои дедушка и бабушка тратили всю свою пенсию на какие-то странные "биоактиваторы", плюс в те же годы у нас в городе на каждом углу продавалось пальмовое масло, которое, якобы, было панацеей от всех болезней.
What an irony that one of the adds that youtube integrated into the video was for the QiOne. Never heard of it before, but it sounds very much like a similar scheme to the Healy.
I'm so angry! I have chronic pain and I hate when someone uses pseudoscience to profit from poor people that can't afford professional help. Thanks for your work. Fortunately, I haven't engaged with anything like this, but former close friend of my family was and it ruined his life.
@@BeatriceKalimar Money, obviously. 4k is a lot of money (especially in less developed countries). And often people using those refuse actual effective treatment. You can guess how two of those work out...
A Company like this, earning Money with the Hope of desperate People, needs to be denounced and then destroyed. And many of the responsible Folks should go to Jail.
When I watched y’all’s first hijacking video I immediately thought this is gonna be a big channel. Clearly on the way to 1M subs within 1yr. Quality over quantity .. you guys are doing it right. Congrats and keep it up
Their german main channel is almost twice as big. They really know what they're doing and I really hope they're gonna translate some of their german videos, for example the follow up to this where they got sued but their lawyer tore everything these scammers threw at them to shreds. Or their hour long documentary in collaboration with a german state media channel about several groups of russian hackers. More people should be made aware of all of these dangers.
The legal disclaimer of the video saying "we are not calling it a scam" after calling it "the most evil medicine in the world" in the title is quite the uno reverse card
so it 'works' at any distance on any condition? surely if that was the case only one would have to exist anywhere in any of the universes out in space and everyone would benefit, with no side effects or anything. wow, amazing product. just remember, if something has zero side effects, it has zero effects full stop.
There's a special place in hell for people who make this kind of thing up. Convincing the most desperate of people to shell out thousands and abandon actual medicine for a useless trinket.
The idea of a tiny piece of technology capable of "treating every kind of condition, physical or mental" is so ridiculous i honestly can't believe people who aren't extremely desperate or don't have much competence in terms of recognising scams would fall for this Also, stopping to take medications because of this is just horrible
@@nikolaideianov5092Agreed. Scammers are a fundamental threat to civilisation as a concept and it is pure travesty it is not punished any more severely than it is now.
Crazy that your best work is also your least viewed video! I’ve nearly watched all your vids now and I’ve been invested in every single one. Great work guys 👍🏻
That might be a sign that people who've bought these devices are watching this video. Can't know that for sure but it would be nice to know people who are seeing their ads are also seeing this video.
i look up to the people behind healy for the heights to which they managed to perfect "profit from the gullible, they won't figure it out anyway" if this can be considered legal, we are doomed, lads
@@dmitriyarkadeyevichpopov1699 Oh, thank you. I just watched it. I was sad to find out that there is no information about if it makes an impressive "beep" sound when activated. I decided to not sign up to be on the sales team after all.
These kind of scammers are not new. They were present in earlier times also but they didn't had the reach to gullible, less educated and elderly people. The penetration of mobile and internet across every corner of world in every part of our life made these kind of scams bigger. Now they can install a seed of false hope through online suggestion/marketing gimmick while hiding behind the legal disclaimers.
18:35 this part seems like a really great money laundering tactic. 4,5 million dollars for something "confidential" to a company which owner shares the same last name as the owner of Healy? Marcus is filling his pockets from thousands, if not millions, of desperate truly ill customers.
Naja, es ist halt die AfD, Q-Anon, Impfgegner Gruppe. Anti-Fakten und anti-Wissenschaft. Der Intellektuelle Bodensatz Deutschlands. Leider ist dieser Bodensatz inzwischen enorm groß.
My mother got suck into this and even tried to convince me to join her. I figured it's bs right away but nothing I do can change her mind... it's both so frustrating and disheartening that she rather believes something that sounds too good to be true than her own son.....
I despise these kind of quack medical devices, they prey on the desperate and baffle them with buzz words assuming they don't know any better. The sellers that genuinely believe the claims are tragic, but the one who know it's BS are evil.
This whole time I was thinking 'that name sounds dutch' and then 'that voice actor really had a dutch-english accent' And then you said you were from the Netherlands. Goed bezig!!! Ik ben al de halve dag aan het kijken, ontzettend fijne filmpjes!!!
I'm very curious who is behind this channel..The content it's so well crafted and clearly there is an entire team behind this, but somehow it feels like it might be some already famous youtube genius :)) hahha
Hey guys, first and for most thank you for your work! These videos are very well structured and presented. I really like the in depth information you're gathering. Also I'd like to propose a suggestion. At the end you're having a segment where you give your own opinion, nothing wrong with that at all. I'd just make it more noticeable for your watchers. For example the german info channel Mr. Wissen 2 Go includes this like a banner before continuing, so they leave no option open, that this could be miss interpreted as facts. My best wishes to you all involved.
@@rizoros8734I'm also German, and he's saying "4,2 Millionen Euro" which translates to 4.2 million euros, or 4.5 million dollars. The subtitles say 4.5 million euros, which isn't correct. Was just pointing it out though because I happened to notice it, such little oversights can happen and it's no big deal. Some creators like to correct mistakes like this one
Regardless of how one might feel about Terry Goodkind's later political bent, I think this still holds true from his first published book: "Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid. People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
Desperation. Feeling like there is no other option and they're waiting for some kind of all encompassing "miracle" to rid them of their problems. It seems silly and outrageous, but really, it's sad. People desperately trying to escape some kind of discomfort that they can't otherwise rid themselves of.
Playing fast and loose with people's health is absolutely despicable, and depending on jurisdiction illegal. Combining the two worst things on the market, MLM and scam health products is just mind-boggling.
Just a quick thing before I even watch the video: I really really appreciate when creators put a quick identifyer and number in the title for a multi-video series. For example in parenthesis at the end of the title. Like "(healy pt. 2)" or something like that. With this title I actually glossed over the video twice until I looked at the posting time, because I thought "Huh, didn't I watch that already?"

I love how the title literally calls it an "evil scam" and then the video has a disclaimer basically saying "for legal reasons, that's a joke"
Well played
Well these companies do for a reason have very good lawers
they have those to shh videos like this lol
they have those to shh videos like this lol
This is the same problem most people have talking about MLMs because many of them are just a Ponzi scheme and use technicalities to avoid falling into the legal definition of a Ponzi scheme, so you say it's a general scam and they sue you because "per the law [we're] not a Ponzi scheme". Take away the compulsory orders that show up whether you explicitly order something or not and oops now it's legally a scam, etc. Just one non-critical piece missing and now it falls into the legal definition.
well on the german channel they dropped an update. They got threatened with a cease and desist. But won in the end. So yeah they still tried to sue them. They told em delete the Videos or youll get a fine for about 250.000€. Fern won though in all points and they didnt have to delete anything.
Thanks, these bastards should be exposed and shamed.
Thanks

That Healy seller really used Todd Howard’s quote with the “It just helps” bit lmao

Thank you! Healthcare is expensive enough in many countries. Making videos like this which expose these malicious scams is incredibly important work for humanity.
The sad part is, once you're in the circle real doctors mean nothing and "hidden knowledge" is everything. It's extremely hard to convince these people otherwise. I'm speaking from personal experience.
Too bad the videos won't be seen by most of the victims
Some health professionals believe in the effectiveness of these products too. My GP, for example, believes in those bio-resonance devices that claim to be able to do most of the blood tests with one scan; blood tests that can cost up to several thousand at a lab. She even spent a few thousand on one but at least charges €50 per scan, but the saddest part is that she actually believes it is reliable. She even offered me a free scan to convince me but managed to scare the crap out of me because it showed that I was low in vitamin D, calcium, iron, and copper; also slightly anemic. I went to an actual lab and everything was within normal values. I went back and showed her the results. She never brought up the topic again but still works with it nontheless.

It's wild how scammers are like planets orbiting around us, making us the center of their universe. They're everywhere, sneaky and persistent, trying all sorts of tricks just to swipe our cash.
I think something important to consider is the incredible power of the placebo effect, especially in treating pain. There is a huge mental element to how we experience pain. This is why we see people claiming Healy reduced their pain. In reality, it's not the device, it's the _belief_ that their pain is being treated that is at work here.
And this is not to say the placebo effect is a bad or "fraudulent" thing in healthcare. Of course, pain is usually a symptom of a physiological issue that needs medical intervention (medication, surgery, physical therapy). But, especially in recovery and chronic pain, there's a cognitive element to it too. It highlights just how important it is for medical professionals to educate people with chronic pain on how cognitive strategies and psychoeducation can reduce their pain.
i was looking for a comment like this. so many people saying “how can people be this dumb” or “it’s an obvious scam” but to someone who is in pain and feels like they’ve exhausted all other options healy could make perfect sense in their mind. not to mention they specifically targeted these people and used very specific marketing because that’s who they need their customers to be..people who are vulnerable and looking for answers
@@ri9578 You seem to have missed the part where they charge 4000 USD for a placebo.
So glad to see this comment. The placebo affect can save lives. Pain is a mental battle. I've lived it, and sometimes hope works better than any chemical concoction.

The way yall are tag-teaming this investigative series is so badass.
This channel is run by multiple people. This is what they do for every video. This one is no different.
Even crazier is the fact that this is the small Team. The Main Channel called 'Simplicissimus' is bigger and Puts even more effort into their Videos. Unfortunately its German so the audience is smaller. But the quality of the German Videos is still a bit better but i think they will get there

the final quote with the context removed to make it seem like it's disparaging Healy itself was such an amazing play. Also, the rest of the video was amazing, obviously
It's insane how still to this day people are gullible. I've been dragged to a couple of such presentations by my ex-friends in my past and have always called it out for what they were and the misbelief in otherw eyes has been honestly scary.
i too have never heard of the healy before this, but still this video is so important. thank you for your excellent work!
my ex was suckered into in a frequency machine thats similar just much larger. When my dad had cancer she kept saying "don't take the meds, use my machine". she kept wanting to come over to my place and get my dad to use her witchcraft device. Granted that relationship didn't last long
Remember in a MLM
Your downline is the product
This was a truly high quality investigation and i commend you guys for all the hard work. It surprises me how people fall for such "esoteric" things. Like, i get it, they don't like science & big tech, cuz they're not well educated, but even so, thinking that a shoddy device that clearly states that there's no science backing it up, is an actual cancer healing device, is really sad to see. Edit: added cancer.
It's not even a matter of education, really. People need to believe in something, to have hope, and nobody needs more hope than the desperate.
These corporations are on another level of evil.
Its mostly desperation. Maybe a "nothing left to lose" Kind of feeling.
@@glasprinzessin i understand desperation, but when i hear that someone stops taking chemo and focuses on these kinds of scams and then actually dies, it's nothing short of heartbreaking, even though i don't know them. Like i wonder if the family then thinks of the repercussions of using such ways, you know what i mean?
@@nefwaenreThat is exactly the point. They trust the device because friends or family told them about it.
@@miaferrari958 "It's not even a matter of education"
Can you actually back this up or are you just pulling this out of your behind? I see no way how a person somewhat knowledgeable on medicine, biology, and/or electronics could possibly ever fall for such a thing.
The conclusion statement was so well said, how do these companies always find people with so low moral standards to work for them?
How? Have you ever looked around you?
They're mostly from third world countries. Like, there's no way to say this without it coming off wrong but statistics are facts, if they have a Philippine or Non-English accent, they probably aren't pitching you anything legit.
It's often not about low morals, it's about these ppl believing in shit like this too
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
11:25 it's simply vile to take advantage of cancer victims like this.
There has to be some sort of hole in their company's legality that can be used against them to file a lawsuit. This multi-million dollar HEIST must end, and the perpetrators must serve LIFE in prison for all the economic damage they've caused to innocent people
I love these videos so much, they're so well made, well researched, interesting and it actually gets me to sit down and watch.
Your narration is great. Reminds me of Kevin, the narrator for Defunctland. He also covers failed things, but amusement parks. This channel covers all other product failures and disasters I need lol
My scam-meter pings, like a Geiger counter at the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, every time I hear the word "quantum" used in a product description. It's right up there with, "Our customer service call center is located in Salt Lake City, Utah" or "Incorporated in Delaware".
Usually, if anyone says quantum anything, they have zero science knowledge and full of shit.
Hi there! What's wrong with Salt Lake City or Delaware? I just have never heard anything suspicious about these places (probably because I'm from another continent).
I have a friend that buys all these shit. He bought a "scanner" for 30k!!!!! I got speechless. Basically it says it heals everything, however when his mom got a severe depression, he asked me for help (as a psychiatrist). It's sad but there are scammers and people willing to get scammed. He's an antivax bla bla...

Me too! I had a cancerous tumor in my brain my doctor said I should get surgery, but why would I do that when I have a healy 😅
I went on youtube and saw how the device works. It is kind of convoluted. It is crazy how there were some smart people who coded and engineered the app and the device and knew they were going to scam people and did it anyways. It is kind of scary how people could make a good living by just getting a technical job but instead get greedy and use their skills to scam people and gain millions instead of hundreds of thousands per year.
Kind of interesting that I've never heard of this. Thank the algorithm for not trying to sell it to me.
As someone who is from Kazakhstan & currently living in the Netherlands, I can say that MLMs and pyramid schemes are a big issue in Kazakhstan due to a lack of financial education among the public, economic instability, and lack of trust in public institutions due to incompetence and rampant corruption
The less trust people have in their official institutions - the more they will fall for this western feel good crap. Because "Hey, it's from Austria, and Austria is like - the most richest country with the best everything. Surely they wouldn't fool us like our government would!"
It's especially prevelant amongst the Gen X and Boomer populations of post Soviet states, who have 0 market education, because basically no free markets existed in their time.
same as a kazakhstani living in the states now. it’s always hard to hear stories about how so many folks from my home country are getting scammed like this
Это точно, многие мои знакомые и даже родственники повелись на разные подобные удочки. Помню, как в середине нулевых мои дедушка и бабушка тратили всю свою пенсию на какие-то странные "биоактиваторы", плюс в те же годы у нас в городе на каждом углу продавалось пальмовое масло, которое, якобы, было панацеей от всех болезней.
What an irony that one of the adds that youtube integrated into the video was for the QiOne. Never heard of it before, but it sounds very much like a similar scheme to the Healy.
I'm so angry! I have chronic pain and I hate when someone uses pseudoscience to profit from poor people that can't afford professional help.
Thanks for your work. Fortunately, I haven't engaged with anything like this, but former close friend of my family was and it ruined his life.
how did it ruin his life?
@@BeatriceKalimar he got worse because didn't get the right treatment and died after some time
@@BeatriceKalimar If they were poor and bought the healy thing with their last money without the device helping, it can easily ruin someones life
@@BeatriceKalimar Money, obviously. 4k is a lot of money (especially in less developed countries). And often people using those refuse actual effective treatment. You can guess how two of those work out...
A Company like this, earning Money with the Hope of desperate People, needs to be denounced and then destroyed. And many of the responsible Folks should go to Jail.
When I watched y’all’s first hijacking video I immediately thought this is gonna be a big channel. Clearly on the way to 1M subs within 1yr. Quality over quantity .. you guys are doing it right. Congrats and keep it up
Their german main channel is almost twice as big. They really know what they're doing and I really hope they're gonna translate some of their german videos, for example the follow up to this where they got sued but their lawyer tore everything these scammers threw at them to shreds.
Or their hour long documentary in collaboration with a german state media channel about several groups of russian hackers.
More people should be made aware of all of these dangers.
hi i have heard about the healy before but not in such a deep dive really great journalism
you deserve way more recognition for your videos
Oh god, it's like the 1920s Radionics 'therapy' craze (illness has a 'frequency' and the 'treatment' cancels out the frequency) mixed with a MLM.
I can't believe that there are people so gullible to buy this crap. Honestly astounding.
The legal disclaimer of the video saying "we are not calling it a scam" after calling it "the most evil medicine in the world" in the title is quite the uno reverse card
so it 'works' at any distance on any condition? surely if that was the case only one would have to exist anywhere in any of the universes out in space and everyone would benefit, with no side effects or anything. wow, amazing product.
just remember, if something has zero side effects, it has zero effects full stop.
if Elizabeth Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow collaborated to create a product
"Successful" MLM SCAMS like these make me really sick!
Can HEALY help me with this type of illness?
There's a special place in hell for people who make this kind of thing up. Convincing the most desperate of people to shell out thousands and abandon actual medicine for a useless trinket.
Take this rule: if influencers are marketing it, then it must be a scam.
Its not always a scam, lots of it is just overpriced brand stuff.
If it’s not a scam it’s just overpriced junk.
The idea of a tiny piece of technology capable of "treating every kind of condition, physical or mental" is so ridiculous i honestly can't believe people who aren't extremely desperate or don't have much competence in terms of recognising scams would fall for this
Also, stopping to take medications because of this is just horrible
People selling these things in general should go to prison for years

What an absolute SHOCK that a scam product is sold through a pyramid scheme! 😂
Those AI pictures of the client you were playing were really unsettling
Believing in this is like believing in the metal bracelet that weighs 50 lb
they are taking advantage of people who are desperate
I saw the same product nearly 40 years ago. Frequency healing. I laughed at it then. I shake my head now.
And here I thought they were just sneakers with wheels in them
These kind of scammers are not new. They were present in earlier times also but they didn't had the reach to gullible, less educated and elderly people. The penetration of mobile and internet across every corner of world in every part of our life made these kind of scams bigger. Now they can install a seed of false hope through online suggestion/marketing gimmick while hiding behind the legal disclaimers.
They call it 'snake oil' because this grift has existed for centuries and I guarantee you they targeted sick and elderly.
"I knew if I went in I wouldn't come out"

00:17 Made me laugh probably to much xD
18:35 this part seems like a really great money laundering tactic.
4,5 million dollars for something "confidential" to a company which owner shares the same last name as the owner of Healy?

This is not a pyramid scheme.

I'm a pharmacist from Germany and the amount of Germans who LOVE pseudoscience is astonishing. Trust me 😮💨

My mother got suck into this and even tried to convince me to join her. I figured it's bs right away but nothing I do can change her mind... it's both so frustrating and disheartening that she rather believes something that sounds too good to be true than her own son.....
I despise these kind of quack medical devices, they prey on the desperate and baffle them with buzz words assuming they don't know any better. The sellers that genuinely believe the claims are tragic, but the one who know it's BS are evil.

Hey guys, first and for most thank you for your work! These videos are very well structured and presented. I really like the in depth information you're gathering.
Also I'd like to propose a suggestion. At the end you're having a segment where you give your own opinion, nothing wrong with that at all. I'd just make it more noticeable for your watchers. For example the german info channel Mr. Wissen 2 Go includes this like a banner before continuing, so they leave no option open, that this could be miss interpreted as facts.
My best wishes to you all involved.
Great work by fern
Great series, hope it will help some individuals 👍
Quick note, at 18:17 it should say dollars in the subtitles instead of euros
The guy talking is german and their currency is euro. And because the subtitles are traslated to english euros would be the right translation.
@@rizoros8734I'm also German, and he's saying "4,2 Millionen Euro" which translates to 4.2 million euros, or 4.5 million dollars. The subtitles say 4.5 million euros, which isn't correct. Was just pointing it out though because I happened to notice it, such little oversights can happen and it's no big deal. Some creators like to correct mistakes like this one
I've always been fascinated by how people can fall for stuff like this. Like what's going on in their heads?
Regardless of how one might feel about Terry Goodkind's later political bent, I think this still holds true from his first published book: "Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid. People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
Desperation. Feeling like there is no other option and they're waiting for some kind of all encompassing "miracle" to rid them of their problems.
It seems silly and outrageous, but really, it's sad. People desperately trying to escape some kind of discomfort that they can't otherwise rid themselves of.
Playing fast and loose with people's health is absolutely despicable, and depending on jurisdiction illegal. Combining the two worst things on the market, MLM and scam health products is just mind-boggling.
Just a quick thing before I even watch the video: I really really appreciate when creators put a quick identifyer and number in the title for a multi-video series. For example in parenthesis at the end of the title. Like "(healy pt. 2)" or something like that.
With this title I actually glossed over the video twice until I looked at the posting time, because I thought "Huh, didn't I watch that already?"
“It has no side affects-“
“It has”
*shows all side affects*
You guy's are killing it!!!!!!! Unlike Healy!!!!
