My Video Got 2 Companies Shut Down! (And even worse negative ion products)

Go to nordvpn.com/th... or use code thoughtemporium to get a 2-year plan plus 1 additional month with a huge discount.
__________________________________________________________________________
Last year I demonstrated that many negative ion products are actually radioactive. Since then, my video prompted amazon to pull dozens of items from their store and at least 2 companies have shut down. This time we talk about that exciting update and some new, and even more radioactive quack products I found.

[@inductivelycoupledplasma6207]

It isn't. The majority of what was detected from the card was beta radiation (gamma only dose rate was probably ~2uSv/h). I think you meant 15mSv, and not Sv, but regardless, holding the item in your hand would NOT expose you to an annual dose that high, since only your hand is being exposed, and not the rest of your body. Hence the effective dose from holding the item is almost nothing (about the same as background). Saying that it's the same as standing next to the sarcophagus is far from true

[@Artemis0713]

You're off by an order of magnitude. The Geigercounter is measuring Microsieverts (μSv), not millisieverts (mSv). If you wore it for 8 hours daily that's ~15 mSv per year.

TY, my spouse worked in medical electronics. He was monitored for radiation all his working career. It is amazing how little the average person knows about radiation. It's ironic someone wearing one of those bracelets would be against Thorium Salts reactors. This type of reactor is shielded, runs till gone (no nuclear wastes) and is a small unit. The bracelets pose more of a health risk.

[@zweilee8514]

Yep, I feel our education system needs an overhaul, mandatory physics/chemistry courses goes a long way in educating the public about this stuff. It's certainly better than the mis-info that keeps getting thrown around.

I once used an ion bracelet my parent bought when I was a kid. I tried liking it, placebo and all, but it left my skin red and itchy after just a few hours. Either I'm lucky I since that stopped me from using it or should be worried since I'm probably more sensitive to radiation. Oh well.

[@Micholex]

I once met a girl in my college with a laptop full of "anti-radiation" stickers, either it was a piece of plastic or....

[@trolleriffic]

It's probably not radiation causing that (even if the item is radioactive) because you'd need extremely levels of radiation to cause sunburn-like effects (beta radiation can do it). It's more likely that you have a chemical sensitivity to something in the bracelet - nickel allergy is a common problem that crops up with people who wear jewellery or watches. You did the right thing by stopping wearing it immediately and it's unlikely that you'd have any lasting effects from it, but keep an eye out just to be sure and maybe stash the bracelet away somewhere safe that nobody else is going to find it and wear it. That way if you did ever have any kind of problem and they wanted to test the bracelet then you've can still provide it.
