How can you distinguish between actual health hacks and fake health trends? In this video, I’m going to tell you about ten health hacks that don’t work and often cause more harm than good. Avoid these health hacks to save your health and your wallet! 0:00 Introduction: Health hacks debunked 0:17 Ear candling 1:10 Gallbladder flush 2:36 The master cleanse 3:27 Foot detox pads 4:16 Foot detox bath 5:26 Ab belts 6:20 The blood type diet 7:18 EMF blockers 7:56 Carb blockers 9:12 Psychiatric medication 1. Ear candling This treatment has been debunked by a doctor of audiology! There is absolutely no difference in ear wax before and after ear candling. 2. Gallbladder flush This almost killed me! A gallbladder flush involves drinking 12 ounces of olive oil followed by beet tablets to eliminate gallstones. This really eliminates bile, causing you to become deficient. TUDCA is a much better remedy to help prevent and eliminate gallstones and bile sludge. 3. The master cleanse This cleanse combines lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup, which won’t cleanse your body but will mess with your blood sugar. 4. Foot detox pads You can not pull toxins and heavy metals out of your feet as there are no detox pathways through the skin. 5. Foot detox bath Similar to foot detox pads, a chemical reaction changes the water's color during a foot detox bath, leading you to believe it’s pulling toxins out of your body. 6. Ab belts Stimulating the stomach muscles or sweating will not remove fat from your midsection. Visceral fat must be removed through diet and exercise. 7. The blood type diet This diet is not supported by credible research. Blood types relate more to an immune difference rather than a digestive difference. 8. EMF blockers A sticker on your cell phone can not block the EMF radiation it omits. 9. Carb blockers Carb blockers contain an extract that can inhibit the digestion of a minimal amount of starch, not sugar. You would need to take several bottles to inhibit the digestion of the starch from one donut. 10. Psychiatric medication The effectiveness of psychiatric medication can be comparable to placebo outcomes. They may also come with serious side effects and can be highly addictive.

As someone medicated for mental “illnesses” for over 33 years, I get angry hearing about a chemical imbalances. IF I had a mental illness at all, it was created from nutritional deficiencies. I’ve been low carb, meat based keto for 6 years. 2 years in I was able to come off multiple mental medications. Whole Foods, a few nutritional supplements and daily electrolytes first thing in the morning, has absolutely changed any mental “illnesses” I supposedly had. I’m still trying to get off one antidepressant medication. The withdrawals are horrid. I don’t now if I can ever safely discontinue it. Trying to titrate down daily. I wish people that take drugs for mental illnesses will also look into nutritional help while working to end their medications. These medications are not meant to be taken long term. The only long term effects I see, is long term damage.

I’m an RN & I have a patient that’s getting ECT & I think my hospital days are coming to an end. I disagree with half the treatments doctors prescribe. The reason these patients are there in the first place is due to poly pharmacy but doctors label it as something else. I’m just sick of it.

I can tell you that number 10 is so true. Every single person I see on depression drugs are depressed and then begin to have even more mental issues.

When I was a child, I had been sent to a psychiatric hospital for depression due to sexual abuse . While there they administered electro-shock therapy to "remove the bad memories." They did a great job! They wiped out memories, but not the right ones! I was there for 30 days and have zero recollection of it! And we won't even get into the thorazine period! Crazy stuff! Thank you!

What was determined was that while depression, anxiety, etc, were NOT caused by “chemical imbalances in the brain”, the found that these horrific “antidepressants” DO actually cause massive chemical imbalances in the brain.
