Excellent video! I hope everyone was paying attention! Some good stuff here!

[@JLWarren]

Thank you SCOR!

[@ThePlotHole]

Excellent coverage!

Never let a conman trick you into thinking they’re your friend. Remember: never trust the confident words of a salesman, no matter how friendly he is

[@rckli]

The only way to end a confidence scheme is to make everyone aware of it - nah, it still doesn’t end there coz everyone has to agree to end it too.. Plus - making people aware of a confidence scheme is difficult when they’re enamored by the one selling them the cure to a disease they don’t have. As an example - the anger and hatred you display towards people who launch criticism against you is appalling. It calls to question whether you have any imperative to act morally at all times or any imperative to avoid immoral actions at all times.

@@rckli you literally stated what Religion is in that first paragraph. Well done for recognizing it.

[@rckli]

@@JLWarren you should’ve kept reading to the second paragraph. Context, Warren. Maintain context or you’ll keep misinterpreting people 🙄

[@JLWarren]

@@rckli I know what you were alluding to. You just did it so badly, I figured I’d point at how it could mean something else.

[@rckli]

@@JLWarren so you made yourself seem incompetent in order to avoid talking about the second paragraph on purpose. You could’ve left this alone or even deleted it - instead you took the time to…? All this is doing is demonstrating how you behave - thank you for proving me right- again -_-

Rattle snakes are easy as to handle after they've been given a lead sedative

[@JLWarren]

A "leadative" you might say

[@Aiza1]

I loved the history lesson on snake oil and its salesmen

[@JLWarren]

This one was one of the most fun to research.

[@markshort9098]

J.L. I'd love to see more vids like this.. this way awsome

[@JLWarren]

Appreciate it! I will definitely look at smoking out more cons like this.

[@cygnustsp]

Sorry I missed the premiere, too many people bothering me at work damn it.

[@JLWarren]

All good cygnus! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@cygnustsp]

@@JLWarren fantastic, JL. I do some tax returns for people who sell varieties of this crap. Admittedly, I do take a couple of supplements that may or may not be doing anything. Ashwaghanda being one. I also took milk thistle for a few months while trying to recover from poisoning my liver from alcoholism. Something I do take that definitely makes a difference in mood, pain control, and sleep starts with a k has two syllables and ends with a t. FDA doesn't like it and I don't think KZbin does either because if I write the word my posts disappear. My crazy ex wife used to do a sage burning every week in our house. Everything still sucked.

Hey JL, you forgot garlic keeps away werewolves and vampires! Thanks for the in depth description of all the BS .

[@johncromer2603]

You forgot the best thing about garlic, it wards off vampires. 😅

[@JLWarren]

An excellent point, from Strigoi to Upir, they do hate it. From what I read, it appears that rabies was often confused with vampirism, and because those in the late stages of rabies suffer from olfactory hypersensitivity, the pungent smell of garlic, which would be painful to them, could ward them off.

I'm surprised Goji berries weren't in there. Probably too costly. When the magnifying glass comes out, the con gets exposed. Couldn't happen to a more deserving grifter. Time to pull out a microscope. Snake Oil.. I knew the term from it's reputation in the late 1800's. I didn't know the oirigin of the term tho. I've been exposed to a few MLM's over the years, even been drawn into the WFG (World Financial Group) for $150 before I realized the "training" was an education to becoming a grifter of sorts. A different list of ingredients, but no less a con. Thanks J.L. (and everyone involved) Great work, keep it up.

So rather than buying a useless bottle of gunk, buy the individual herbs and have nice tasting meals with flavoursome alcohols. The only thing that would surprise me about Kent is that after a full investigation you concluded 'he is a very nice chap' (like that's going to happen).

[@MrKynut]

Was that Mr Belding?

[@JLWarren]

Yes it was! His career has kind of found new life with Seth McFarlane’s crew

[@MrKynut]

That's awesome
