If you want to do a series on New Age psychobabble, Deepak Chopra is primed for a good reaming. I always thought it strange that the master of mystical truths needs to put out book after book instead of revealing all in one volume. Also I love the way he gloms to whatever is fashionable in science and grafts it into his lectures.

"Psychic Vampire Repellent, which banishes bad vibes"

And poor Colin Robinson would starve :(. Be kind to your energy vampires, they live only for a hundred years.
Psychic vampires are a term in Satanism. It's a person who manipulates you to do something you don't want to do. I think the Church of Satan needs to sue Goop for their use of that term.
Turns out bad vibes is just the name of a particular vampire and they had a typo to not capitalize it as Bad Vibez

Well, in medicine, steam is being used for sterilization... of termoresistant materials (bedsheats, clothing, uniforms, metal and glass instruments and containers, etc.). If you were to use it on living tissues at temperatures needed to do the job you would cause massive burns, even more severe ones on the mucous lining of the cavities due to them lacking the corneal layer (stratum corneum) of the skin.
@ElephantsLover I'm not entirely sure so i am going to speculate a bit. To blow something up the vagina or a another orifice i'd assume the source of steam should be close to it. In a spa, steam tends to spread out resulting in smaller concentration of heated water per unit of surface and less heat being transmitted (that is what i'm speculating).
Also, skin has sweat glands which release sweat which aids in cooling, both directly and by covering the the body with electrolyte rich water which further disperses the heat. Sweat also evaporates taking heat it absorbed to do so with it.
Another important distinction is the outermost layer of the epidermis. While histiologically similar, being multi layered squamous epithelial tissue, skin has an additional layer of practically dead skin cells called stratum corneum which offers additional protection.
This doesn't mean that you can injure skin with steam, you can cause burns. It's just that it makes skin more resistant than the more vulnerable vaginal lining.
Andsteam could cause damage to the vaginal microflora (bacteria and fungi which normally live there), i think, resulting in opportunistic and external infections.
@ElephantsLover You're mistaking water vapor for steam, a common mistake. Remember that actual steam is invisible, it's the cooling water vapor that makes the 'steamy' clouds we all know and love~

Well I tried this a looooong time ago. It didn’t burn me like others said but it was just..uncomfortable. As shit.

My friend paid for us all to get it and when I found out it was 165$ EACH I was completely blown away she fucking paid that much for 4 of us. Like girl we could’ve sat in a sauna with a bottle of alcohol each and got drunk and had a ball. But instead I was sitting in a chair with steam going up my chuckie listening to some bougie bitch talk about her housekeepers and how life was so hard for her 🤦🏽♀️💆🏽♀️.

“Earthing” is just being grounded but renamed earthing. Lots of people walk barefoot on the grass to ground themselves and reconnect with the present moment (kind of like meditation). Sounds like she ripped off and renamed a bunch of very common practices. (I dabbled in new age as an edgy college kid lol).
walking on grass does nothing. you're just walking, on grass. simple as that.
@@casualcrisis6349 it feels nice, and for some people it's enough to calm themselves, therefore it's used as a meditation technique. It won't magically cure your cancer though, that's for sure.
@@casualcrisis6349 if you struggle with dissociation touching plants/animals can help. You focus on the feeling of it to ground yourself but it's not magic it's just a texture. There's no need to be so dismissive.
That’s how I feel about a lot of this stuff. It’s New Age practices (NOT medicine) repackaged in the worst possible way.

" ancient chinease practice" yes, because everything that is ancient is good i guess? we used to take mercury pills to live longer, or carve out hearts of living sacrifices, i suppose we are to start thata gain because its also a ancient practise
its so annoying how people will call any type of medicine chinese to push their bullshit. the chinese did some stupid medical practises, and yet some people tend to fetishise china and their 'herbal remedies'or some shit. they use medicines like every other countries
Livid Titch technically not all of the ancient chinese herbal medicine are bad. A Nobel prize winner, researched a way to cure a type of viral fever through researching documented ancient chinese medicine. But, yes, a lot of them are hogwash.
TL;DR: old = good is a horrible practice that could end in sacrifices to gods that chase each other in the sky
manh phuc oh yes of course, there are good, genuine chinese practices which i now realise makes it sound like ive brushed them off. i didnt mean to sound as if i was discarding those. i just mean that many chose to use those great ones as a guise for their own scams
The Chinese kill rhinos for their horns for "medicinal" purposes. If a company wants to sell me a "Chinese treatment" or an actual ancient Chinese treatment then they better have a portfolio of legit research papers at the ready to show me it actually works 🤷♂️
Same goes for any other type of treatment or product from anywhere. There's always a shitty scammer or a superstitious belief no matter where you go.

good homeopathy: i carry around this quartz because its pretty and makes me feel more confident
bad homeopathy: i carry around this quartz to cure my stage four leukemia!
Good homeopathy: placebo
Bad homeopathy: the rest of homeopathy.
Well, the Federal Board of Health in Germany officially approve homeopathy, so it can't be completely bonkers.
Lalogue: I may have been less than specific about homeopathy.
Just like "medicin" is a wide variety of things, so is homeopathy. LSD was subscribed by psychiatrists for schizophrenia, psychosis, and other severe conditions. Needles to say, the practice was abandoned, along with a lot of other medical practices.
Some homeopathic prescriptions are complete bonkers. Like "crystal water", which is purified water that has been "exposed" to the "healing properties" of various crystals. Even a drunken cat lady can tell, that this is utter nonsense. In fact, these kinds of "cures" make up the vast majority of "homeopathy".
It has been discovered, that some chemical compounds, that are poisonous in higher (or indeed lower) doses, have medical properties if diluted to certain concentrations. A few of these compounds have been approved after rigorous testing, but the practice of homeopathy is not widespread, as few doctors are trained/qualified.
On the other hand: if wearing a crystal in your pocket makes you confident enough to live a good life, feel free to do so, but don't tell the rest of the world, that this crystal cures anything.
Actually healthy: I don't need a bloody piece of rock to make me feel confident. I myself am enough.

@@l4dfanatic11 Some people like pentagrams and wands because they look cool, which becomes problematic when you want to buy them because you get swarmed by people who actually "practice magic." In quotes because more often than not, they only say they do, and even if they do magic isn't real.
I think there is a difference between people like Gwyneth Paltrow, who sell this stuff mostly for money, and the people who genuinely believe in it. One of my friends believes in crystals and other alternative medicines, but she also has vaccinated all her kids and takes them to doctors regularly. The crystals she only uses for herself (unless someone asks) and she gives them away to friends and family when she thinks it could help. She has made me several "protection" necklaces (which are honestly beautiful) because she wants me to be safe. I think that is completely fine, because she isn't selling me or anyone else anything. She is just using her beliefs to support people she loves. It's as effective as saying "I'll pray for you," so why not?
It's really nice of her to give you jewelry
I must agree. As long as your friend doesn't force her beliefs unto others or exploit the ignorance of others for cash gain, its actually kinda sweet.
I mean if the point is to give you nice jewellery as a gift then why not but if she genuinely thinks it will help you be more healthy then she's the one in need of help.
The mind is a powerful thing,don’t ever doubt it’s power
Well that's nice and all, but she is supporting the industry and that is a problem.
"Alternative medicine" here in Taiwan is in fact a way of life, quite normal to us and sometimes works better than western medical practice -- and a lot of them did come with the immigrants from China. However, Goop is NOT a representation of alternative medicine, it is an embodiment of capitalism.
Well said!
I feel that there is a threshold that most people dont cross. But Goop certainly does!
But alternative medicine don't work like scientific things, there is no research, no factual results, 2 people can do the same thing and just work in 1, there is no universal methodology neither explanation of how this works, alternative medicine is not real medicine, this still can work, but is not reliable
Some homeopathic treatments have therapeutic qualities but they're not usually an alternative for medicine which has active ingredients in the right amount to work. Aspirin for instance is the same chemical found in willow bark, but you'd much rather have an aspirin than willow bark because the synthetic version is safer and more reliable than a natural ingredient which can have different amounts and quality of the active ingredient.
Even then, a lot of homeopathic remedies use the placebo effect which is strong enough that drugs have to outperform the placebo by a certain amount in order to be made available.

Looks like Gwyneth did a goopsie
And now we wait for Steven Spielberg's next movie: The Goopies . . .
Gwen did an OOP
G-OOP?
Those stickers, crystals and some other products could just be a placebo (and work that way), but to make it 50-80 dollars is disgusting. I once bought a totem stone in a First Nation village in Canada when I was very young and on vacation. I carried it with me for years and actually believed in it then. Gave me some comfort when I was being bullied or sad. Of course when I got older, I stopped believing in it. Difference is though: It was like 8 dollars and looked really cool, with a wolf pawprint in the middle.
I will say, I have nothing against holistic medicine, or at least to an extent. As someone who has and knows several people with chronic, pain, functional, and invisible disorders, sometimes you just get failed by doctors and medicines so much you have to change tactics. There's so much we still don't know about so many disorders and diseases and syndromes, you really can't fault people for getting desperate, which is why it really makes my blood boil when someone like Gwen tries to exploit people like us (and I'm in no way saying you were faulting sick people).
Kegel balls are actually a thing. Thats pretty much the only thing that is kind of real, but they cant even get the material right.

@@difficultbastard there are different materials, though i imagine ping pong balls are too light.

Nihl Lhin I’m a hospice nurse so I’ll toss in my 2 pennies. Some “alternative” things such has yoga, meditations, and acupuncture do show some benefits in cancer patients. Mostly things like reduced stress, anxiety, and pain. The reduction in all these can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medication and anxiety medication needed. Medical marijuana does help improve the symptoms of illnesses. For example, reduce pain, anxiety, and increase the desire for food. Again things that can assist a person in their real treatments of various serious diseases. I’ve never seen or heard of marijuana curing anything though. I do believe that alternative medicine does have a place next to modern medicine and can help promote a healthy lifestyle. With that being said obvious scam companies such as Goop really does a lot of damage to those who buy it. Some people are just damaged because they waste their money on the snake oil they sell. Other could suffer more medicinal issues because their deception. Not good at all
I think one of the best examples of this is essential oil MLMs. They tell you they can cure autism, HIV, and chronic pain-WITH OILS. You know what you get with applying essential oils directly into your skin?
Allergies. And more bullshit if you’re putting it on your kids.
It’s honestly a disgrace.
I agree with you, but one important thing to keep in mind is something the video said: There is no "alternative medicine" there is only medicine that works. Natural remedies that work are not "alternative medicine", they are just medicine. I think it's better to think of it that way because categorizing things into "conventional medicine" and "alternative medicine" gives the idea that no natural remedies are based on scientific evidence, which as Katrina pointed out, is very untrue, or it gives the idea that those who practice conventional medicine do not encourage natural remedies or lifestyle modifications as a cure for disease. They're not 2 competing fields as we are sometimes led to believe, they're all part of the same field meant to reduce morbidity and mortality and promote optimal health.

thanks for mentioning how Cate Blanchette was robbed for Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love. Shekar Kapur's Elizabeth was brilliant and so was Cate in it.
Emma *She was a Weinstein girl*
But now Cate has lots of great roles after her belt, while Gwyneth is now remembered as a joke. 😎
I forgot she won an Oscar, I was pretty surprised too, I mean she can act but compared to other actresses for an Oscar - really not the same standard/calibre at all
not going to lie- i adored geoffrey rush in shakespeare in love but yup cate nailed it in elizabeth (oh that scene with nimrod playing in the background- chills!)
@@raquel8705 Came here to say that. Thank you. By the way we should have mention how she should have given back the oscar after that obnoxious and embarrassing acceptance speech

“Gentlemen. I wash my hands of this weirdness.”
As a woman, I read the story about vagina steaming and how two women ended up in hospital with severe burns and I internally cringed, read the thing again just to make sure of what I was reading and then laughed at the sheer stupidity of it. Ladies, please don't do this or shove things like jade eggs or cucumbers up there either.
This is also the first video of yours I've watched and I very much enjoyed it.

Something that strikes me is there are still a lot of people who haven't figured out yet that you shouldn't listen to celebrities, just because they are celebrities. Most of them are narcissists and morons who have been blinded by being buried in a world of massive privilege that they got to by some combination of talent at a certain skill like acting or singing, luck, connections, birth right(actor's children being actors). They indulge in all kinds of expensive things to improve their lives when they already have everything most people dream of. Statistically I'm sure you could say they have the best lives, as they have the most access to things which should make a positive difference, though they often end up being sad, lonely, people. Possibly even worse off on average than the the plebs they entertain. Many of them outright disdain their own fans, while also simultaneously telling them how they should live their lives, even if they couldn't be bothered to say hi to one of them.
It's an Appeal to Authority fallacy, on two fronts - neither should they be expected to know anything because they have authority in one aspect, nor should they be considered authorities at all. Being famous doesn't make you smart. Woody Harrilson thinks coronavirus is caused by an allergy to 5G signals, for goodness sake.
just......imagine this...
you're a young woman who is dealing with anovulation, and you don't know about your own body. clearly, this older woman who has so much experience with this should know what to do.... right?
Gwyneth Paltrow is preying upon women who don't understand how their own selves work.
Totally agree, and would add that she's also making women think there's something grossly, shamefully wrong with how their bodies work, namely their vaginas, and that only Goop's apothic tools are the answer.
Snake oil
Nah, when I found out about all her crazy things I was a teen and thought it all sounded ridiculous lol
It's not preying if she's as deluded as her customers...
Kiera Seestadt - it’s ok. 13 year olds don’t have disposable income or credit cards.
To be fair, going bare-footed is actually good for you. For your feet that is. Got nothing to do with cosmic energies tho and a lot to do with the fact that shoes make you walk differently than you naturally would which in turn means that you are technically using your feet the wrong way.
This is the kind of crap that R* Games takes the piss out of in the joke talk radio interveiws in GTA.
God I loved listening to those
Fun fact: Walking on grass, especially in places where animals leave their dung, in lakes or rivers, is particularly risky, as there is an elevated chance of contracting hookworms or tape worms, some really nasty parasites.
Also, you can easily burn your feet if you walk barefoot on asphalt. The fact it's dark coloured and that cars pass through, makes it absorb high amounts of heat.
A classmate of mine got 2nd degree burns on her feet from walking on asphalt
Thanks to Jontron, I’ve dive deep into the Goop hole. I glad I found this video.
thanks to cynical i learned about this. i’m sure jon watched this

The only woo that I really like or appreciate (NOTE: I am aware that it has no scientific basis and that it's bullshit) is crystals. I like the aesthetic of the amethyst that's carved into a obelisk, or a jade amulet for luck. I base my appreciation for this solely on the emotional response that beautiful minerals trigger in me, not on any "superpowers" people claim they have. I'm aware it's bullshit, but if I had my way, I would have a house full of "healing" crystals.
There is nothing wrong with crystals or any other kind of placebo/"alternative" practices, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE IT TO SCAM AND EXPLOIT PEOPLE. If it works for you, amazing! Go for it! It doesn't need to have a scientific basis to help you (even if that help is purely emotional - still relevant!). The power of placebo is pretty remarkable, and sometimes that alone is enough to help. It's just important to stay in touch with reality and not try to cure, say, stage four cancer with crystals exclusively. But that doesn't mean that anything "alternative" has to be dumb and/or pointless. I believe that there's time and place for "alternative medicine", and there's time and place for seeing an actual doctor.
Oh I love minerals I got a beautiful piece of lace agate and I like keeping it in my pocket when I know I'm gonna be stressed.
"Would you willingly put this anywhere near your vagina?"

No! No, that's utterly ridiculous.
That sums Goop up quite nicely.

Just found your channel, and I'm hooked - manages to inform and entertain, an accomplishment not easily achieved nowadays.
I think the hippie thing is cool as a hobby and aesthetic. Being from Oregon, you know, I was raised around it. Where it crosses the line is when some “alternative hippy” I know in Eugene Oregon tells me to take an essential oil because I’m complaining of UTI symptoms and I broke down and said I was going to the ER and they chastised me because “antibiotics are bad” and I went there anyway and got tested and I had an upper urinary tract infection bordering on a kidney infection if I had waited longer. And I got the fucking antibiotics. Yeah. That’s the line for me.
A TEN THOUSAND dollar 24karit Dildo!?

10:06 As somebody who's practiced Wicca and studied the Occult, I'm reminded of what Merlin said from Disney's "Sword in the Stone"..."Don't get any fool ideas that magic is going to solve all your problems, because it WON'T!"

I just realized that the place were haley from modern family works is based on this💀
I am very irritated by those that use alternative "medicine" which is not medicine. Not even close. As someone with epilepsy, chronic headaches and migraines, scoliosis, ADD, severe depression and anxiety, as well as panic disorder I find it deeply upsetting to be looked down on for not using all natural alternative medicines which are "better" for you.
They tend to be healthy people and some think they are healthy because of the alternative medicine when in actuality they are healthier due to genetics. Many alternative medicine junkies don't understand what it's like to worry about that kind of thing and to be desperate for health insurance or to feel guilty about what conditions they've passed down to their children.
I hate people that manipulate those who are desperate for help or those that are naive into using alternative medicine. Some people actually die because they only rely on alternatives to actual medicine and just because they feel like they have to go "all natural" for some reason.
The things that always ticks me off is when they say they "feel better" on whatever snake oil they're taken, and when asked what they mean they can't elaborate beyond "I dunno, I just FEEL BETTER, geez." As in, they basically admit that their statements are meaningless but refuse to own up. "Do you feel happier?" "Not especially." "Less pain?" "I didn't really have any to begin with." "Fewer allergy attacks?" "No." "How are you ANY better, then?" "I just AM! YOU just like pills!"

Is there anything under 60 bucks? I mean stickers, it’s fucking stickers. But I’m lowkey living for that water bottle with the stone inside it. Aesthetic
I actually liked the bottle for the novelty aspect as well, although it's not worth what they're charging. Seems like it'd be a bitch to clean, though, especially if you're filling it with anything besides plain water. And you'd have to hope those wires securing the crystal weren't soldered with lead.
The vampire repellent is 27 dollars
You can a similar bottle on Amazon for like 30 something dollars
Try DHGate. They have a pretty good copy for less. Or there are ones with like lots of little bits of quartz in the same shape for about £20 elsewhere.
Plus it's not passing cash to someone who thinks you can beat infertility with a whistling kettle and your spice rack so that's an upside.
Omg thank you all ❤️ I’m getting that bottle
This video serves not only as a useful PSA, but also a solid reminder of how dope Office Space is
She reminds me of that character in Modern Family that Hailey worked for. The one who was an actress who seems to always be high and had a company selling healing crystals and those feel good stickers. Wonder if they created that character based on little Gwynie here?
