Amen!!! I very much agree!!! I am an RN, and I have a close friend who is SO BELIEVING in things like this. She is a big "fan" of a lady who claims to be a big health expert, but this lady has ZERO TRAINING!!!
Ya I fell for it…. Luckily they have 30 day money back guarantee so I hope to get my money. They asked me to return the product tho…. Doesn’t make sense, since I only have 1 unopened bottle left.
PLEASE, PLEASE do more of these!!! I am an RN, and I have a close friend who is SO BELIEVING in things like this. She is a huge "fan" of a lady who claims to be a big health expert, but this "expert" has ZERO HEALTH TRAINING from any recognized school!!! This "expert" failed nursing school, and is already banned from giving ANY health advice to people in TWO COUNTRIES. But my friend believes that this "expert" is being persecuted because she doesn't agree with "greedy" medical sources. 😥
So sorry, as a fellow RN I feel your pain. We care for my MIL and when I try to get her to change a habit or routine due to health concerns I preface the comments with, “Mom, this is your Nurse speaking, your daughter has left the building……” Otherwise she will NOT even listen or acknowledge the information! 🤣🙄❤️
I’m an intern and I’m tired of people with no medical knowledge or basic understanding of human physiology pretending to reinvent the wheel and monetizing from ignorance. The new scam in town are clinics doing IV vitamin bags claiming to revitalize and treat depression , pain , and multitude of things it’s just saline plus b12 which you can obtain in your diet and hydration . Thanks Dr , for being part of the committed professionals with true vocation for patient care.
Please learn about the vast prevalence of B12 malabsorption, how low levels have severe health impacts, how genetics, gut health, age, medication, toxin exposure, drinking all play a role before saying something like people aren't finding help from B12 infusions. Sincerely, someone who has to SI B12 for the rest of my life so I don't die because it's a crucial nutrient😘
@sheisofthewoods, it's one thing to get a vit. B12 infusion because you have a *proven* deficiency which puts your health at risk and which required you to get a medical exam and make an informed evidence-based decision with your doctor, and it's totally a different scenario when someone markets i.v. vitamin bags towards the general public through claims that they are a cure-it-all. If someone has depression or pains or etc., they should go and find out what it is like you did and get proper treatment strategies. But thanks for finding a way to insert yourself here and completely miss the entire point.
@@sheisofthewoodsConditions preventing B12 absorption, like pernicious anemia, are certainly very real, and IV B12 can be effective for some of these people. However, I think the commenter was speaking more to companies making money off the manipulation of the general public, most of which probably do not have malabsorption or even a deficiency. They cast a wide net by referencing common symptoms like fatigue, and promising relief. But if someone feels fatigued, for instance, don't you think it would be better for them to find the root cause (which really could be any number of things) with their doctor? Rather than seeking out IV vitamin transfusions for the rest of their life? Most of the conditions resulting in failure to absorb B12 are statistically rare (Addison's anemia, Imerslund-Gräsbeck disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Celiac disease, etc). The most common potential causes I've read are probably obesity, maybe IBD and some types of infections. But in those cases I think it's also more likely to see degrees of underabsorption, rather than a complete and total lack of absorption. I'm curious just how prevalent you think this problem is? And what do you count as malabsorption?
Notice it’s even called ‘Dose’, mimicking therapeuticity. Here in the UK, laws prevent supplemental manufacturers from making unsubstantiated claims 😱🤔😡☹️🙈
@@mlatham23*A certain sect of the population:* "America is so sue-happy these days, it's ridiculous and we should be ashamed!!" *Others:* "So let's change the laws to have better oversight like other countries, so acceptable corporate behaviors don't have to be enforced by lawsuits." *Same people:* "Noo, that's too much power of the government! It's Communism!!" _goes back to complaining about lawsuits_
This reminds me of all the crap being sold for “adrenal fatigue” with incredibly vague/common symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, stress, etc. If your adrenal system actually isn’t functioning, that’s called Addison’s disease and it leads to an Addisonian crisis which can kill you.
There are so many supplements that supposedly fix this and that. One would not have any room in the stomach for food for the amount of supplements ppl reccommend to take 😅 Thank you Doc.
I had high liver enzymes a year ago. No symptoms, just happened to show up at the time of my annual physical. They normalized without any intervention. Viral infections can cause them to spike, so it could have been something as simple as that. Haven't had any problems since.😊
Supplements are completely unregulated in the United States. They only get taken off of shelves when someone has enough direct evidence of harm to actually win a lawsuit (very high standard when you consider all the other potential toxic exposures of simply living in the modern world). Companies marketing supplements on social media can basically escape accountability entirely by just taking down their website or changing their name.
even my friend with cancer didn't have symptoms from elevated liver enzymes. i helped her figure it out, and she was drinking one celsius drink per day... she only knew cuz she got her enzymes tested biweekly.
I was hospitalised a few years ago because of high liver enzymes. I went to urgent care because i had an acute stomach ache for nearly 24 hours and a history of gallstones. Fun fact even after gallbladder removal surgery, you can still have gallstones.
I love not having a gallbladder but having gallstones. the human body is so well made. I had acute pancreatitis that they think was maybe from gallstones and was kept in the hospital for elevated liver enzymes for a day or so after the pancreatitis resolved. BUT! I will say that not having a gallbladder does mean that I am no longer nauseous 24/7, so I'll take it. Like, the pain does suck a whole lot, but the constant nausea was way more disruptive
I didn't know that...where do they form then! Inside the tube? Vessel? Don't know the English term. The line that the fluid runs thrown between liver and colon😅 Anyways, it sounds dangerous..and maybe there is something wrong with the liver then? Must be something wrong with the juice, right? The liver produces that juice... Hope you are fine! Stay healthy
@lisastenzel5713 stones can form in the liver where gall gets made. My liver is healthy, the medical world doesn't know why gallstones are formed or how to stop them once they have. All they can really do is remove the gallbladder
What is she talking about?! Absolute bs! Guys, your liver is one of the strongest self-healing organs humans have! It literally grows back, after you donated a piece of it! Don't fall for stuff like that! Get answers from a licenced doctor or pharmacist. Get your recommended check-ups, those usually include bloodwork for your liver and kidneys. If anything is wrong, your doc will tell you!
Thank you for this! These ads are on regular tv too. I was very skeptical about this product the first time I heard about it. Please continue to make more of these videos.
Hey, I know this is probably not going to be seen but could you please do a video for parents about what should be in their first aid kit/cupboard for going back to school?
Person who eat junk food and oily food everyday, gets stomach discomforts everyday. Here, stop taking junk food and take my health supplements. Person suddenly have "improved gut health". Therefore. My health supplements works 💪.
I ordered from them! And they have a 30 day money back guarantee luckily so I’ll hopefully get my money back. I emailed them and they said they will refund everything except 17$ to pay for shipping fees but I only get a refund if I return. Now idk if that means return everything unused or return what I have left, I got 6 bottles, I have 1 unopened left and 1 half full. I feel uncomfortable if they ask me to ship the open one too since they may be reselling it….😷😷😷 Basically I’m saying don’t order! Not worth the money. I didn’t notice any benefits either…. Over priced af too! I prefer ginger/turmeric shots from the grocery store/home made. This stuff taste like orange juice and nothing like ginger or turmeric….
This cured me! But I have to take it every day to stay cured! Sounds just like their chiropractor to me. But what does this lowly RN know? Thanks for the PSA doc!

I would have to sell a kidney to be able to afford that stuff. I am really confused why anyone would buy that. It would literally be cheaper to see a gastroenterologist
Omg WHY would the liver cause bloating?!? Are they even trying? This is such a good example of human biology needing to be a core part of our education system.
I love how they pick symptoms that are also symptoms of practically every illness. Gotta make everyone think there is something wrong with their liver
Exactly. It’s cruel and should be illegal
Cast the net wide.
Preach it brother!
Doc, please make more videos like this. They are highly virulent, they are everywhere. We need to stop this scam.

My son had elevated liver enzymes as a side effect of a medication he was taking. No symptoms whatsoever.
Thank god someone is exposing this stupid s***

Odd algo was that after I saw this short a couple days ago, this supplement started advertising to me!!
This cured me! But I have to take it every day to stay cured!
Sounds just like their chiropractor to me.
But what does this lowly RN know?
Thanks for the PSA doc!
"A sucker is born every minute."
I have to pay my liver time-and-half as it is!
Make this a series. What is ashwaganda
If they're an American based company you (as a doctor) can try and report them to the FDA
Can we say patent medicine/snake oil?
What are your thoughts on probiotic supplements and Ulcerative Colitis?
Not "the Doc", but Ulcerative Colitis often has an autoimmune factor to it. Probiotics aren't going to affect that.
Have you reported them to the FDA yet? They have a dedicated pathway for reporting supplements that make overt claims about having medical benefits

Agree
Pretty sure that woman was drinking her liver elixir from a candle holder
Thank you so much! How does the FDA approve products like this??!!🤔
They don't. There's no law requiring most supplements to have any kind of fda approval before going on the market (which is asinine to me)
Just don't be stupid i guess.
Omg WHY would the liver cause bloating?!? Are they even trying?
This is such a good example of human biology needing to be a core part of our education system.
I suppose now you are going to claim that Carter’s Little Liver Pills are snake oil!😤
Don't do supplements. Eat a normal healthy diet, no processed crap.
