Oh boy them crystal people getting the Chad treatment today.
RapiBurrito 😂🖕
Fuck off. Your information is actually completely false. 😂
@@headed4thebottom “it’s like, totally false lol lmfao e.g #crystallifr #lgbtrights lol I’m so quirky” XD this is what that sounded like to me
The reiki healing shit pisses me off because those people act like they're pompous bigfucks and don't know what they're doing, they're doing something that is so very primally wrong and they talk like they're helping people, keep your hands off of people unless you're putting something else like a tool, on someone, you damn well know when you're around someone or touch them you can feel a certain sensory flavor text to them that Is not in every other person. That would be that energy shit people that don't know half of the story talk about. Reiki healing is bullshit, but the properties of certain things aren't. You know that if you have a material object that you specifically touch and keep with you and only you touch that thing for long enough some of your properties your 'vibes' will get left in that thing? That's what every part of this stuff is SUPPOSED to be based on, but you know people are going to try meddle with forces that they cannot.
@@lucariobtuse395 people that practice reiki do not randomly put there hands on people (because that would be wrong and weird) they do it because someone requests them too for the benefit of healing but whether you think its false or not is totally up to you "different strokes for different folks" it could resonate in the heart of someone else just because something does not align with what your think does not make it "false" its just false to you 🙏
Yeah, I can feel the energy of this Uranium rocks
hahaha
Lol i'm burst laughing
I can feel the cancer from the radiation, i can feel cancer developing, oh its working... OHHHHHHHH

I love crystals, not because their “healing powers.” it’s because their shiny and fun.
Wish crystal woo people would just admit they like the aesthetic of crystals and witchy stuff without making supernatural claims.
@@CampingforCool41 im one of these people who only like aesthetics of crystals and witchy stuff but yes cristal healing is bs but they are good for witchcraft and i belive herbal medicine and modern medicine as well but some people err go extreme with them
ok hank
Goddamn crystal healers jacking up the price of cool rocks!!! I just want to have cool rocks and they are making them so expensive
yes!! i have a crystal shop and i don’t believe they have healing or spiritual powers at all. I just think it’s so cool that they come from the earth and i love everything to do with nature. i honestly get scared to say i don’t believe they have healing powers tho bcs i feel like i’ll lose so many customers😭😭
Who would have guessed having someone calmly speak to you, provide a comfortable environment, and caringly touch you would make you feel happy?
Yep. I still get that feeling and I don’t believe in reiki/magical healing at all. It’s like an ASMR thing
What's scarier, a crystal healer that fully believes in what there doing, or a crystal healer scammer?
I think a scammer might be more tempted to overprice his/her "services" than someone believing in this nonsense
Believers are more scary...
Imo a believer is scarier because even if they charge less for a session, they will actively work to spread their ideology to new people, especially on the internet where they can reach people internationally. A scammer would be more likely to find people who already believe in healing crystals and take advantage of them.
Until you have an understanding witihn the field of quantum mechanics, you cannot have a valid expression of relative information. research the piezoelectric effect to understand how crystals operate as transductors and much more. My question to those who have lower states of consciousness and arent capable of comprehending the quantum field yet. If crystal are not energetic, why do radios, computers, cell phones, watches and many other electronic devices use QUARTZ crystals piezoelectrically as transducers? id suggest reading more before putting others down due to incomprehension of complex physics.
a crystal scammer won’t die from a cold so probably them
People are so critical. Crystals DO WORK. It’s called crack.
i guess penicilin pills are technically crystals too lol
It's called meth.

@@barth9580 yea i was gonna say, crack isnt a crystal

Wait so..if my electric toothbrush has a vibrational frequency, does that mean it’s alive? Damn!
😂😂😂
No because it has a battery 😂
despite the fact youll think im crazy after a psycadelic trip i was able to feel the energy from crystals as well as quite accurately identify their uses and describe them.
Then finding on crystal sites that i was exactly right each time.
Its hard to believe but if you opened up enough i believe anyone could feel it.
Oh yeah and i thought all this stuff was bs up until 19
as a child i was obsessed with crystals but stopped due to social pressures to be normal i guess
turns out i was smarter as a child and intuitevely knew they were good despite not conciously feeling the energy.
Just because many cant see something doesnt mean its not real....
you dont see the signals going to your phones and computers but you see the image or text on screen.....
crystals are gaining popularity because people are waking up trust me it starts off as "these look nice" and turns into feeling their pressence and seeing mental results from it.
I dont have enough experience to say how powerful it is just that they have energy that can be felt.
@@hawk_202 jeez you really didnt learn anything from the video?
And it's severely traumatized
You _can_ use crystals for healing; sell them and pay a Dr
Plot twist: you live in the United States and still have 45,000$ to pay left.
Fuck I spit out my water laughing
I’m a crystal seller...and I’m finding this quite hilarious 😂😂😂
And secondly...you’re 100% correct! They sell quite well! 😂
Sell crystals and use the money to pay a doctor to heal you? When in the hell has a doctor ever healed anybody? Doctors don’t heal people, they get them on pharmaceutical medications, which is anything but healthy. The human body needs 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2-3 essential fatty acids to function properly. I use this protocol to heal disease and get people off synthetic drugs all the time. 🤔
As a primary school teacher, I spend alot (ALOT) of time teaching kids how to spot fallacies. I consider it to be the first line of defence to bullshit (like this).
How?! I work with kiddos and would like to guide them toward healthy skepticism…
@@Shalin_Deniece Via a game! It is called 'The Werewolves of Millers Hollow' which is a game where you need to convince others you are not a wherewolve. I like playing it since the kids enjoy it immensely. But in between the rounds there is opportunity to debate among the group about who might be a wherewolf. It is a great way for kids (in my humble opinion) to get the kids more familair in a debating style. Whenever a kid makes a faulty argument, I might (not all the time) point out some of the faulty arguments they are making. Or better yet: ask them to expend on their reasoning.
This is just insanity. Crystals CANNOT help you if you have a serious illness. There's absolutely no way this does ANYTHING! Almost EVERY claim AGAINST their ridiculous star-trek level, science fiction pseudoscience, can be proven correct, yet they can't even prove any of the ludicrous claims they make. This stupidity needs to remain in the PAST..
I hope you teach them that alot is actually two words, a lot. You wouldn't say alittle as one word.
@@Vastafari34 Nit-picking, are we? What a surprise..
LSD is a white crystal with a melting point of approximately 85 C. and a molar mass of 323.440 g/mol . I have found the LSD crystal to have definite healing properties when placed gently on the tongue.
I was waiting for surgery on a cyst in my hand. My colleague wanted me to put a crystal in my pocket. I humoured him. He was shocked the next day when I still had my cyst. I was bewildered that an educated person could be so dim.
Environmental influence, cultural and religious indoctrination can render even the most intelligent person into a not so seemingly bright being.
The placebo effect reminds me of a story from Untold Stories of the ER. A patient came in with abdominal pain, and the ER doc diagnosed it as some ailment that would need to be treated at the hospital. The patient believed that her ailment was caused by a curse and refused treatment until she could be sure that the curse was lifted; she believed that as long as the curse was in effect, any medical treatment would fail. The ER doc ultimately called in a witch doctor of the patient’s religion so that an curse-breaking ritual could be formed. After the ritual, the patient accepted medical treatment. The woman more than likely wasn’t cursed, but since she believed she was, the witch doctor became an important part of her treatment plan.
There’s another story about one of the world wars where they ran out of pain killers momentarily and they gave soldiers sugar pills not telling them it wasn’t painkillers and it actually had a placebo effect and made pain reduce
So did the ER doc personally pay for this witch dr to come and administer their services?
Wasn't she also physically pressuring her own abdomen to keep the demon she was supposedly cursed with under control, thus causing her symptoms in the first place?
I remember that episode. She thought someone put the root on her and the lady witchdocter came and healed her,that episode was crazy as hell.
So basically Crystals do have energy... of souls of the damned who died mining them.
Actually crystals contain HUGE amounts of energy...convert the mass of even a small 1g crystal into pure energy, you will have more energy released than what the Hiroshima little boy nuke detonated with 😉

@@jameswest8280somewhat. In order to live, you have to be muscular to an extent, since vital organs, such as the heart, are muscles. So, if you want to be a redditor about it, yes, technically you are muscular to an nth degree

It's a good neurological trick though. Brings your mind and focus to an area of your body. Basically tricks you into meditation.
I’m glad someone else here actually realizes this. These things do help, just not how other people think
true. it is indeed relaxing. and being in a state of relaxation improves your mood and reduces overall stresses and tensions in the body, which gives the "feel good" sensation
Just hit the 30 second point. My guess is that the reason people believe in it is because when in a meditative state, the mind is able to think more and process what is bothering you and how to fix it
I couldn't get too deep into the video. I can beleive that some people believe in healing crystals but definitely not 1 in 4. Most conservatives view it as hippy nonsense, the deeply religious view it as witch craft, and most people view it as a placebo effect at best and an outright scam at worst. I live in an area full of hippies and hipsters near a large liberal arts school, and there are crystal shops around and crystal healing places, but I'd be shocked if even 1 in 10 people here believe in it. I know 2 people who believe in it and 1 is genuinely and deeply mentally ill, and nearly everyone else thinks it's new age nonsense.
Similar to the invisible man in the sky crowd. At least crystals are things that actually exist I guess.

Fun fact, some rocks actually do have auras. It's just that those rocks are radioactive, and their aura is death.

Same. It's fascinating how they are formed by natural processes. But make sure they are ethically sourced if possible.
@ Shannon Pasold Okay, thanks for letting us know :D
Me to. :) I just love how such pretty looking rocks have been around for sooo long.
Let’s call these people for what they really are, they are charlatans and liars and they take advantage of vulnerable people who as a result, suffer more from their illness or die.
I’m glad there are people like you putting these people in their place and educating people at the same time. Kudos.
Yeah man. If you don't have the aptitude to actually help people by becoming a doctor then you can be this. You can make just as much money with less effort since you write the book itself(ie:bs)
Woah. For fun I want to defend against this statement cuz I do not agree with this ignorant point of view. There are charlatans and liars in all fields of work. There is a big difference between an "illness" and let's say anxiety....or depression etc.
Let me send a few things your way. Ever heard of a placebo? How about the pharmaceutical blunders that have been going on for who knows how long..what about medical malpractice?
It was ignorant to make a blanket statement "let's call these people for what they really are.." which people? All "crystal healers"? Just some? How bout the ones that are charlatans or liars? Hahaha
And then you say something to the tune of good job for making a video about this blah blah as if this self proclaimed youtube scientist has presented only factual data. Cmon guy. Use common sense. Use critical thinking. There is just as much flaw and misquoted info then there is from a crystal healer. Gosh dang man. Hopefully I'm not commenting on a 15 yr Olds post. Because it just hit me that you definitely sound like it.
@@skylerruin dont tell me your a crystal healer
well put
At first I mocked Reiki. Then I googled "average income of Reiki practitioner in the United States": it's over 100k per year. $58/hr. The accreditation / education process is approx 3 years. No previous college education. I think I found my new career! Why be a masseuse and risk injury to my hands when I can hover them over my patients for the same pay! Less insurance! Less schooling! I will be sure to change my name to a Eastern-sounding appropriation, so that my future patients don't find all my debunking statements on social media! I'm all in!
Unless a true reiki master can sense my browser history then I am busted!
As a true reiki master i urge you to use incognito mode for my own sake
my freind was a reiki master, she became possessed and had to renounce it and then became a born again christian. It comes with a lot of anxiety and mental health issues which is reffered to as other peoples negative energy.
This happens if you're not taking care of yourself energetically, mentally and physically.
The same thing applies for the medical practitioner who does not care for their bodies needs. Many doctors die of stress, are overworked, don't eat right and have mental health issues. Some have radiation exposure and other hazardous complications from the use of tools from their work. We don't hear about that or it's shut down in this same manner pretty quickly.
Eg wearing masks for too long and it's breathing related issues.
Everything has their uses and place, however application and a clear understanding of how to use them is very important. No matter which route you take there are side effects. (Internal scaring from fibroid operation, getting paralyzed after spin surgery, memory loss after being put to sleep with anesthesia ) the list goes on and on. .
Only problem I have is whenever I wanna buy a cool looking mineral I have to pay extra because “magic rock go brrrr”
Yeah, crystal shops that focus on the pseudoscience stuff are almost always a complete ripoff. There are rockhounding shops that are much more reasonable but they can be hard to find, especially online. For every one normal rockhound shop there’s about 10000 crystal woo shops
I make mineral and wire jewelry. The amount of times I heard I should advertise my work with magical properties of cristals and gemstones I use is astonishing. I want to make beautiful things that I'd like it to remind people of wonders of nature. That's it. It's quite cute to say that rose quartz is a love stone or that tigers eye gives you lots of firery energy but I think it becomes dangerous when you promise someone that crystal will heal cancer or other serious disease.
Stay openminded but not naive.
As a physics student who has a deep background in condensed matter physics and materials science, I always wonder how people can think that these minerals have magical properties.
All the properties of the matter depend on microstructure/macrostructure at a larger scale, and at a smaller scale, on quantum phenomenons.
Crystals do have vibrations which are called "phonons" but they are just a quantum of vibration, there is no magic involved here.
Another small detail, statistical mechanics has also to be used, SM is of vital importance in all the areas of condensed matter physics peculiarly in soft matter physics (polymers are esentially entropy tanks), semiconductors...
This is actually interesting how split people are over these topics. I was a hardcore rational person who didn't "believe" alot of these things until I experienced themselves. To be fair though I think magic is not the best term to use as really anything not understood could be thrown under that umbrella.
Why not just study crystals yourself, instead of listing to some youtuber? I to was science mad at one stage, but one thing I have learnt, is most people are complete lying frauds. Take for example the guy in this video, or famous scientists in general. 90% of them make pacts with Demons, when you are not looking. They are all over at your local Freemason building doing magic rituals on the weekend. These people are professional liars.
I think the fact our bodies can heal itself by thinking intently about feeling better is amazing
@Casual if you look at the data within www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/statistics you’ll see that cancer has been increasing over time and natural agriculture is not a thing anymore. So cancer in itself is a foreign build up and not part of the natural body and process.
@@oosa358You’re partially correct, the rate and timing of cell replication is precisely regulated. Proto-oncogenes, produce proteins that stimulate the cell to grow and divide, and Tumor suppressor genes at the same time inhibit cell division, they act as car breaks, they force the cell to slow down or stop the process of cell division. When both of these regulators break down, the cells start to replicate more frequently than normal, uncontrolled cell division can mess up DNA replication, the resulting mutations result in cancer cells.
correlation does not equal causation...
@@Picardspassword yeah placebo

11:35 well alchemy is possible, if you have a nuclear accelerator, and a few decades, transmutation isn't time or cost effective

@Le Chi Bang no he's right, elemental transmutation is possible with a particle accelerator
Alchemy is literally just chemistry. You are absolutely right... it’s pointless to do it for material wealth.
damn i can see lots of fullmetal alchemist fans in here
Alchemy does exist. Remember that video where they did a piss poor job of "debunking" the humonculous' made by the russian scientist

"a very high and slow frequency", LOL... what? Well which is it?
it's a giraffe. high and slow
Yea my thoughts exactly. I when I first heard it, I'm thinking, "waves are either short and high or long and low...that's not how frequencies work"
I think she meant high frequency, low waves (as in low amplitude)............not that that proves her point at all :\
That is the permeation speed not the frequency speed, yall dumb, sound and light move at different speeds but can also have high or low frequencies.
they only know the word from watching sci-fi shows
I used to be heavily into the occult, and my X wife and I made thousands of dollars a month using this gimmick. We also knew that the driving force was the placebo effect! As long as the room was set up, and the correct suggestions were given the customers believed it.
Says more about you than the topic of crystals
Well, I’m glad you’re out of that now, at least.
In full sincerity, what about phonons and vibrational healing?
There's that one crystal that can treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and obesity.
The only problem is it's addictive and highly illegal.
Fascinates me how powerful and complex the mind really is, and this is only what we've scratched on the surface.
Slightly annoying additional side effect; The price of cool looking minerals doubles or triples because they 'heal'
Very annoying
To this day, no one can explain to me what a “vibration” means in this pseudospiritual context.
if you cannot feel the energy of crystals, try touching moldavite. if you cannot feel that raise your vibe, you are likely an NPC
I think you just gave crystal healers a gateway “the placebo effect”
of course putting a cool rock on your chest and laying down will relieve stress. youre in a relaxed state, mentally and physically.
So will putting bottle of beer on your chest
Psychology is a needed field because I need to know how these people are egotistically ignorant enough to wave around terminologies of which they know nothing. It’s like I give them a random bullshit word, say, discresidentialisation, and somehow they not only believe in its existence, but go on to preach about it so proudly too. It’s puzzling.
I buy crystals and other goofy looking rocks, not because of “healing powers” but because I like rocks(minerals,crystals)
they are beautiful!
I’m not too big into crystals but I’ve been doing chakra meditation for awhile and it had a major impact on my physical and mental health. The thing is you’re allowing yourself to be more aware of yourself in every way. I don’t know or believe as of now about curing diseases. The things it helped me most with is my posture and the way I think, psychedelics also helped a lot with that 😂
That's just interoception with extra steps. I'm glad that it helped you, but the same effect can be achieved without focusing on mystical vital energy that doesn't exist. Many kinds of non-spiritualist meditation focus (implicitly or indirectly) on developing interoception of musculature and breathing (E.g., body-scan and breath focus, walking meditation, etc.), and from there interoception of thought and emotion. Even some more spiritual meditation, like vipassana, doesn't purport the existence of supernatural energies. Be wary of Affirming the Consequent and correlative reasoning.
That’s the power of the placebo effect. It can help you up to a certain point simply because you believe it will, not because there’s any special magic to it. It’s just psychology. But it can only go so far.
Or....you're a sheep.
I think you get the right idea, things like meditation are purely mental health processes. There's even good argument that meditation isn't really a thing, it's just a more complex expression of placebo.
@@cyclic_infinityThat's exactly what I was thinking to say to this lady. Thank you, it's so good mentally healthy and educated people still exist.
I don't believe in crystal healing but I just like looking at crystals because there beautiful
Also I don't really care what they think as long as their happy but I do care if they make people believe this and it lets them down

there are different methods of healing in this world. If you have somebody that truly believes that their chakras are out of alignment and they truly do believe that no amount of therapy and no amount of teaching them about science and biology or anything is going to change them. However if they go to a crystal healer and have their chakras "fixed" You will be surprised how much they change and it's all mental It's placebo effect but I have seen people that truly believe this act and behave and feel completely different after a healing even though it's all in their head.
And in my opinion if you have somebody that has a mental issue and it's able to be corrected through a "Crystal healing" And it's done in a single session versus years in therapy. there might be something to it.
wait, but if something is made of 100% silicon... isn't that just silicon?
I have gone to a few Crystal shops before. Not to buy anything, but for the entertainment value I get. It is highly entertaining to pretending that a certain Crystal communicating with me and seeing the shop owner coming up with a bs reason as to why they might be doing so. It does provide me with lots of imaginative material. 😂
I mean I'd buy despite not believing as they're pretty if it wasn't supporting child labour, as If chocolate isn't doing that enough & if they weren't over-expensive they'd sell like fashion jewellery like sea glass jewelry does.
I’ve worked at a crystal shop for the past 8 months and can confirm it’s all placebo effect. Makes for really pretty jewelry tho and it’s cool to learn about the history of each crystal, but it’s not healing you guys let’s be real 😭
Yeah because they are inorganic.
as a geochemist, thanks for this
my uncle collects crystals, but for some reason he snorts them, then acts wacky later.
i think thats microdosing
To all non-believers. It’s real and true.
Crystals helped me recover when aligned with my chakra points.
And my gang sign hand gestures allowed me to release the rasengan while using my clone jutsu! It was epic!
yeah didn’t your friend put crystals in his mouth to perform his fire jutsus?
“they had us in the first half i can’t lie”
Sad part is you western always destroy eastern concept. In Hindusim chakra is not a stage of healing it's just a stage of meditation but you all take concept from Hindusim and budhisim and without knowing what's is it just made healing crystal and craps out of it
@@phoneicad1887 as if people don’t try to monetize religion.
@@phoneicad1887 Crystal use is not just part of Indian culture, FYI.
Most people who believe in crystal self-healing usually relate it to mind, spirit, which will then also affect the body because when our mind is a mess, it also affects the body. Get it?
Gem or Crystal Stones are pretty and I buy them as an accessory or a jewelry, most of the time they are advertise as healing stone, but for me, real or not if I have an illness I would immediately go to a doctor than wait for the stone to work or not.
Indeed same goes to me.. I buy and collect because it was pretty and mesmerizing.. but if I feel ill will go to see doctor instead... And wearing as jewelry 🥰
When I was in high school I bought an amethyst crystal because it was supposed to make my migraines go away. Spoiler alert: I still have migraines and have one right now actually 😂
I felt dizzy when i began using mine
This is exactly why crystal healing is deemed as false a crystal will never ever ever magically take away a physical ailment just buy having said crystal the crystal healing to me is real but people need to lose the idea that they just instantly heal you.....the crystal acts as a mirror to show you what you need to be or what you dont need to be the only thing that will heal you is yourself🙏
So maybe you should have dug a little deeper within your conciessness and find the thing that brings you inner peace because amethyst represents peace so if you have inner peace and you find what gets you to that inner peace then maybe your migraines will slow down

A very high and slow frequency... alrighty then. velocity equals frequency times wavelength, it’s saddening how articulate and confident people are capable of being when they have no background knowledge with the words they use.

Dude. I’ve learned quite a bit about endometriosis recently while working with a professor in lab. Fricken crazy condition, and extremely painful.
I don't actually have a problem with them as part of a hospice plan. Provided they aren't being told that the crystals are going to CURE them, I don't care. If it makes them more peaceful in their last days, and they are still taking their morphine, then by all means meditate away.
Fun fact some of them actually interact with the electricity like tourmaline and quartz.
My thing is give them whatever meaning you want it’s all about your will anyways.
I think a cool crystal might feel nice on the skin and maybe their appearance calms someone down which may be beneficial long term...but that about it benefit wise... unless you consider them for self defense by throwing them at would be attackers head 😂
6:35 *me having a masters degree in pharmacology*:
"bitch, what the fuck are you talking about?"
There's no way this is real, but I'm sure having cool rocks on my skin would make me feel cool lol
Rituals/placebo's are powerful though. I like to turn on candles after sun set so I get ready to wind down. It tells my body I'm safe. That is so incredibly beneficial. Crystals having some magical powers though... Um no. The electric ⚡⚡ power of crystals is also like the electric effect of my lamp or tv. Which means I should be feeling good after some couch time.
These people make medieval healing practices look effective.
Dang man I felt like I just watched 8 mile final rap battle when Eminem dropped the mic😟 i just watched a massacre ...
Actually, crystals can heal the bank accounts of people who sell these "healing crystals" or their "services" that use them. Prions as conscious beings, crystals as living organisms . . . OK, well then. If anything, this is a rather unfortunate indicator of the current public school system, but I digress.
8:40 based on what this person said: coal is used for fire, in old stoves, in thermoelectric plants, in furnaces, so consuming 15 grams of coal with your spouse will re-ignite the flame of love in your hearts
Crystals definitely have some energy when you throw them at ppl
I watched this video with my crystal collection. They all thought it was hilarious.
Use crystals to raise your frequency, well that’s the concept of over clocking and it may reduce the lifespan of a computer, or turn it unstable
Selenite obsorbs the EMF for example from TVs ECT. I put a 1.7 kg block not so close to the telly which looked like it was burnt on both ends. Black Tourmaline is suppose to obsorb negative energy or EMF radiation.
12:04 afterwards you sue your doctor for malpractice🤣
My mom uses a crystal to help her vote. She attaches it to a piece of string and swings it forward and backward. If the crystal starts turning clockwise it means yes, counter clockwise means no.
Seems like a very complicated form of the gool ol' throw-a-coin-experiment. You should recommend that to her instead.
A coin toss or a 2B pencil with letters on the sides would probably work just as good
That's a pendulum :)
@@paulhamacher773 I can clip coins with over 60% bias no matter the coin. Nothing is random; Chaos is not random. And chaos is not chaos if you predict it.
Tell your mum it would be much easier if she read each party’s manifesto and voted based on who she believes represents her or will do a better job.
The only thing that is more ridiculous than believing this stuff is people that believe in god and think that the people that believe in crystals are foolish. There is exactly the same amount of evidence for both.
Crystal can truly change your life.
Dont believe me?
Ask Walter White.
Even if you don’t believe crystals have healing properties, there is 100% proof that a placebo effect is real. The brain is very strong, even during prayer you see changes in the brain.
Why spend money on expensive crystals for an endogenous reaction?
Questions for Science if something makes you feel good, why not? That’s like asking why spend money on anything that is not a necessity.
Questions for Science crystals are meant to be used along with western medicine, not to take its place. Doing something that makes your mind or body feel good will always have positive effects regardless of how or why.
@@zoemarae2330 because people are using the "healing crystal" placebo to scam people out of thousands of dollars. The sugar pill placebos people used to use didn't cost enough to pay off a mortgage
@@hyenaloaf1858 OP point still stands, though. If people want to spend and believe in this stuff, then whatever it's their money. People spend a lot of money on unnecessary things-like the latest phone models, etc.
But it's also important to know that Crystals won't replace modern medicine. I imagined those who go to these crystal healing sessions probably go there much as people go to a spa.
Crystal use has been around for thousands of years, like in Fengshui.
Most people who believe in crystal energy believe in spirituality and self-healing of mind, body, and spirit. Call it the placebo effect, if you will, but our mind is very powerful, and I have used crystals as a reminder to keep calm and stay optimistic. Sometimes when life happens having a little faith/hope in something that reminds you to carry on is a powerful thing.
Science is all about evidence based facts so it's kinda weird even to try to debunk crystals cause many know it as a spiritual thing. But I see the well intent of this video to inform people (since crystals are becoming trendy) that it's not a cure-all.
21:23 what's with conspiracy theorists and pseudoscientists and hating autism? like really, what's wrong with it? do they dislike the fact that it'll make people have a higher chance to not believe their bullshit, harmful claims or are they just stupid and don't understand what it means
if crystals had these magic powers id have a set of lightsabers by now, trust me, itd be sick if it was, i want a lightsaber, but its not... just accept that crystals dont do these things and knock it off
Isn’t it a spiritual belief? like prayer? or wearing an evil eye symbol? what faiths or religions should be respected?
None of them...
Nice to see a shot of the Science-Based Medicine blog in the video. It's a fantastic resource for all things pseudoscience. I highly recommend it.
I would say that at the very most, the crystals might exhibit some slight magnetic properties due to impurities but the net effect would likely be zero as the effect at the quantum level would cancel out either completely or almost entirely. Doesn't mean the crystals are alive or emit any kind of healing energy. If electromagnetism was capable of healing then we'd all be immortal as it is literally everywhere around us.
That bullshit artist edit at 15:25 killed me so hard my family wondered what I was doing.
Crystals can make you feel better. By taking delight in their beauty. But it's all psychological. You aren't treating illness with them. It's kind of funny they take Chakras from Indian culture and then add in other stuff, like Native American traditional medicine and witchcraft.
I started wheezing when she said virus and prions have consciousness 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WOW
I hate how my sister believes in crystals
Placebo is really strong effect when it comes to stress relief. That's why it's so hard to search for the drugs for stress relief
3:27 It's not incredibly narrow. It's in fact incredibly broad, as it's hard to define what a thought is
Hey QfS I wanted to suggest you upscaling your videos to 1080x1920 to eliminate black bars present in your videos. In my opinion it just increases the overall quality of videos dramatically. Just a suggestion but either way still love your videos!
Yea I know, thanks. I just switched from Vegas to Premiere, so I'm still learning the ins and outs of the program. Next video should be normal dimensions
Questions for Science sounds good keep up the great work!
i cant think of a better example of the ultimate primitive fake healer. Its literally "ooh ooh stone shiny, MUST BE MAGIC."
I could not watch this whole video people actually believe this stuff just made my head hurt. 😂
crystal healing definitely works, not in the magical way though, its placebo effect, but it still works for people who strongly believe in powers within crystals, anyways it works but just not in the expected way
I agree but also disagrees.
A girlfriend of mine heavily believed in crystal healing bs. She eventually got cancer and refused to get chemo or any cancer treatment. Even though I cried while trying to convince her to take working medicine she kept denying... Saying that the crystals will work eventually.
How do these people sleep at night knowing they're selling false hope and charging an arm and a leg for it I don't understand
My ex's parents sold "Magnetix", so called healing magnets. Basically just neodymium magnets glued onto jewellery... Same weird bogus BS 😂
Crystals are used in watches. So they're able to control time.
How do they control time?
@@boredmr.potato3715 look it up, don't be ignorant
Crystals are also great in salads too!
Halite crystals?
Salt crystals
"The frequency of willowbark is a very high, and slow frequency." Lol.
Crystal "healers" when they get electrocuted and die (their crystals didn't remove all of the energy)
Why did he choose her to represent people who believe in crystals?
i know, it almost looks like a joke
You mean teal swan?? If yes then thats because she's the only one who provided such a video which sounds logical and backed by science,which this guy debunked,and I liked this vid,and I am also a Teal Swan fan,I have my reasons for that.
The logic in these arguments is on par with preschoolers trying to convince you that theyll die if you dont buy them a candy bar
Crystal meth therapy absolutely works
Conversations with crystal believers is hilarious. I tend to throw the conversation through a loop because as a Laser tech I absolutely do have crystals that were, and can be used for healing that work on vibrations and converting lower energy into higher energies and so on an so forth. The look on their face when I can show them light of one color entering a crystal and another exiting just dwarfs what their crystals do to a point of questioning the actual validity of theirs.
What can I say, it helps to have props.
As a crystal user, I do not claim these people that say it can prevent diseases and cure cancer 🤦🏻♀️
crystal meth is bad for you
Bloodletting actually DOES work. We use it in mainstream medicine now. Dialysis uses the same concept. You take out the bad blood, filters it, and return it. But our ancestors didn't have a dialysis machine. So they could only take out the blood from the affected part of the body and wait until the body creates more new blood.
Does it work? You can bet it does. I've been having needle pain in my toes. After the door ripped open a small part of my toes, causing a lot of blood to flowed out. The pain instantly disappeared and didn't return until two months later. That wound recovered within just a day despite the floor looking like someone got murdered.
