Negative Ion/Anti-5g Products Are Actually RADIOACTIVE

Ғылым және технология

Ads for negative ion products seem to be all over the place these days and they are all the rage with the "wellness" crowd. With wild claims of vague or impossible health benefits, most people chalk it up to just being a scam or just a harmless product designed to separate people from their money.
But the reality is so much worse. Negative ions are a very real thing, but making them takes energy. So how do you make a piece of plastic bracelet keep producing negative ions forever? Well, you fill it with radioactive material. In this video we go through all of the testing I did over the last few months to determine what's in these products and if they're dangerous.

    I know this video was quite a while ago. A friend of mine who is afraid of 5G... (A subject for another time) bought these stick-on pads for your phone to protect yourself from 5G radiation. 🙄 Anyway, as an electrical engineer I made some tests, they did nothing to stop RF. Interestingly, I put them near a Geiger counter and could not believe what I saw!!! The glue used to stick these on is loaded with thorium! I will say that again, the adhesive is loaded with thorium. The 4 of them together, we're showing just north of two mcs!! Imagine keeping that in your pocket all day, occasionally removing it for 30 minutes at a time to put it near your head. I can only imagine when the adhesive starts to decay and particles become airborne. These are another Amazon product. I only tested one brand, but I see that they sell many.

There are so many terrible products in Japanese drugstores ranging from, as you mentioned, supposedly ionized face cream, to pads you put on your feet to supposedly suck out bad "toxins", to cosmetic procedures that can actually cause severe side effects such as injecting mineral oils into the face.

    I saw a seller of this on the street, and they had a Geiger counter on the table. They were showing how they Geiger counter was “picking up radiation from 5g, but it was their own bracelet. They put the bracket next to the counter, and turned the counter off. They then pretended that they had simply “pressed the button to get a new reading” and remarked on how it was no longer showing a number. They then moved the bracelet farther away, and turned it back on, pretending that the reading was from “ the new reading without the bracelet.” They know it’s radioactive and they’re using that to trick people

And when it is internal, alpha is *by far* the most dangerous type of radiation. When I got a geiger counter I made sure to get one that was capable of detecting alpha. We need to be using this thorium to make pebble bed thorium reactors for safe clean energy, not exposing people to it.

However it has to be quite highly refined to be useful so the glut could easily be in the unrefined ores. People being able to get their hands on it so apparently easily is a real concern because you can make protactinium from it’s fission series in a reactor. Protactinium is easily separated from thorium etc and is capable of being used in nuclear weapons.

Even though my quality of life is so bad because of my conditions I still wouldn't be desperate enough to touch that thing, I'm also concerned about the old folks who are actually falling for this as they might not have anyone around to check in on them and guide em away from this stuff :(

    Well, at least Th-232 has a very long half-life of 14.05 billion years. It's only mildly radioactive. Guarapari Beach in Brazil is a thorium-rich sanded beach which will make a Geiger-Müller counter scream, and that will give a full-body dose. To put it in perspective, radium-226 is about 8.8 million times more radioactive than thorium-232. 1 microgram (1 microcurie) of radium-226 would have about the same activity as about 8.8 grams of thorium-232, since Ra-226 has a much shorter half-life of 1600 years, and radium is in the same group as calcium, making it a "bone seeker". Th-232 is relatively safe, as long as you don't ingest or inhale much of it. It's toxicity is more of an issue than its radioactivity, especially if the thorium compound is water-soluble. These should be sold as check sources or chemicals, not these dumb, new age products! Because this just causes more fear to those who don't have a good understanding of what radioactivity is, and I enjoy the study of radioactivity!

The policy was I had to have a certain amount below the limit as a safety net for if I was in an accident or broke a bone and needed multiple scans (I think they said equivalent to 5 chest x-rays was the safety net because I'm "medically complex") That people could be walking around getting the equivalent of what took me a year in and out of ERs and pain clinics, through my whole body, in a 1inch circle of their body without knowing is terrifying.

Ozone is very dangerous to your mucuos membranes, meaning your eyes, nose and lungs, it can cause irritation in them and cause permanent damage, worsening your sense of smell, lowering your lung capcity, and possibly even impacting your sight.

    Asbestos is still a threat in Sweden. A lot of buildings from the 50s are still around with asbestos fibers in pipe insulation, vinyl flooring, heating ducts etc. Building owners are responsible for inventorying and testing for presence of asbestos but this seems to be largely ignored as it adds substantial costs. The general public seems to have forgotten this danger, even construction workers.

    @@johnbyrd7400 What??? In order to make thorium usable for a power plant you would need to bombard it with neutrons to turn Th 232 into Th 233 which can then undergo beta decay to protactinium 233 then beta decay to uranium 233. Do you even know what it takes to create a high enough energy neutron beam to make this a viable method for energy production. A FUCKEN BREEDER REACTOR.

    @@jerrylobster1149 Earthquakes are planned around and countered in modern designs, it wasn't the earthquake that caused Fukushima, it was the flooding, which can be accounted for in newer reactors being built. Also yeah mostly China but Japan was also mentioned in the video and China's pretty liberal with nuclear energy so the joke wouldn't work with them.
