The companies rely on the fact that it’s so widely used it can never be traced back to them. Cancer is associated with flame retardants, pesticides, polyester, cleaning chemicals, and plastic- who is NOT exposed to any of those? Yet even for the things which are already accused of being unhealthy, they’ll never be reconsidered from the shelves, and people who avoid them will be endlessly mocked by family and shamed by acquaintances for being “impossibly strict”. If you are skeptical of anything on the store shelves or in the doctor’s office, you’re labeled a freak for not trusting everything being sold blindly. That’s what these companies rely on- anyone questioning them might lead to accountability. They don’t care if it kills you, as long as they’re never caught!

I don't want to be a total asshole, and I'm absolutely saying this with the utmost respect: but, sometimes, it really drags the flow of the information down when we have to spend five minutes clarifying things that can be a bit confusing at first, but should be relatively easy to follow after the initial clarification. I feel like cutting and drawing a flow chart or something for him to understand would be a better choice if he's asking several times because he's still confused. Again, I'm not trying be a butthole. These things can be confusing for whatever reason. We all get turned around keeping these things straight. It just felt a bit too much at that specific point. I was actually thinking in another video of theirs I was watching earlier how good of a combination it is to have her effectively "discussing" these cases with him, and how he's generally on-point with questions to clarify things.

This was the air humidifier case right? It was because the actual company item was a air disinfectant. Logically speaking that would be the last thing you suspect even causing you any sort of problem. Think about it. The amount of things in general you touch at a given time during the day, the air you share with people, coughing, sneezing, elevators, enclosed spaces, the people who may not even show symptoms at all, the asymptomatic carriers, elderly it’s insane the amount of ways someone can get sick. Typically Your not infected until you show symptoms but you know that everyone’s different and I know personally that between my kids and myself were this sensitive body type who gets some odd reactions to virus like a strep rash but not strep throat. Thousands of people didn’t think that this was the cause. But if I recall correctly, there was one chemical or perhaps maybe two, or some lilac scent that was the likely cause. Can’t recall if they narrowed it down to the specific chemical doing this. South Korea made a film about this tragedy, oh my god. Sk films are amazing but any film involving children and babies, I mean I’ve seen Silenced and parts of Hope, so watching that movies going to rip my heart out 100 times over and over again.

I worked as a home appliance repair technician. I know how most of home appliances work and have been fixing them for years. Humidifiers usually work like this : there is a piezo-electric plate at the bottom of the tub , simmered , and it uses the physical properties of the water and its behavior when certain frequency sound applies. By this "sound " it forces water to "move" and as it does, the side effect is that part of the water releases in form of mist. Fan inside the humidifier then blows this mist out and you have beautiful mist coming out. I have seen hundreds of humidifiers and many people neglect and just use their appliances in general, until it's broken. In humidifiers I have seen really thick deposits of limescale so they have been used for years , NEVER being cleaned in any way. Just add the water when it runs out of it. Very rarely there has been any tiny little hint of mold desperately trying to survive in any corner, and it was the case where they used it daily for years and never bothered to even dust it off. Never ever I saw a really moldy one, there is 100% sure 10x more mold in your perfectly clean shower than in the humidifier. Never heard of any case of one being sick from their moldy humidifier. Heard many cases of people get sick from using chemicals in their appliances. People put so much chemical shit in places where it doesn't belong, constantly poisoning themselves so badly yet so happily, that I could make a whole YT channel about it. Dumbest ones add chemicals to the water in their steam cleaners. Basically "cleaning" and allegedly "disinfecting" (No you're not killing any bacteria with your 250$ steam cleaner , they ripped you off) your home with chemicals that are being burned in the heating element and spread in the air. Very healthy to breath. I could write a book.

I was hospitalized from the 14th-29th of December. 5 of those days, I was in a coma, on a ventilator. I had to re-learn how to breathe, and that was one of the most painful experiences in my life. I can't imagine the amount of pain those mothers and babies were in, not being able to breathe, not being able to take a deep breath. I feel for the boy who couldn't play outside with his friends, who needs 24/7 oxygen. My heart shatters for every single victim of this crime and their families.

I think however, that Stephanie spent FAR too much time describing the emotional states and social aspects of all the people involved, instead of GETTING ON WITH THE STORY. A few samples of the emotional impact would have been plenty for this presentation, but at the 20 minute mark, it seems like more than half of the video so far, and I'm debating whether or not I have the patience to continue. In human history, people with a pathological focus on feelings and social relations, massively more than on practical, technical, and physical realities, are the ones who panic in disasters and mess up rescue efforts, are the ones who sow resentment and division and ruin social cohesiveness, and who generally do parasitic and self-centered harm to society. This is why my patience for this presentation wears thin. -- Parental love for their children is ubiquitous, and the vast majority of doctors care very much for their patients. And it's not hard to raise outrage against corporate greed that results in injury or death among consumers. When your whole story is about emotions and social relations, your life is going to be disempowered and fruitless. People who solve problems like this are people who, whatever their emotional investment, wrestle with finding fruitful questions, gather data, analyze, and find answers. For people who want to live in a world that's primarily a world of emotions and social relations, hire a therapist, and do it on your own time. There's a time for venting, and there's a time for getting things done. -- I worked in mental health for more than a decade, and pretty much without exception, my clients did better than the average among similarly-situated clients. Some made spectacular and noteworthy gains. It's not like I have no sensitivity to emotional and social issues. -- And by the way, for anyone dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, and other negative emotions, pain expands to fill the attention devoted to it. Excessive emotional self-indulgence is detrimental to one's own mental health, as well as burdensome for other people around you. It's no way to go through life.

I am a dad of a 7 year old boy that was kidnapped to South Korea. Korea is a partner country of "Hague convention" that is supposed to promptly return children that were illegally taken across the border. FBI was trying to book a flight to Korea to rescue the child. However, Korean government stopped them saying this is a civil matter and because it is not criminal in Korea, the dad should go through civil court. (Especially because Korea is a signatory state of Hague convention) I did. Korea took 2 years to make a final decision that this boy has to PROMPTLY return to the US. But they didn't prepare an enforcement mechanism. I got a total of 10 court orders just in Korea(including the Korean Supreme court order). And my son Bryan's 3 week trip became a 5 year separation from me. I talked to multiple Korean officials and although they admit the problem, nobody is taking responsibility. They ask the child who doesn't even remember dad "Do you wanna stay here, or do you wanna go to Dad?" And if he says he wants to stay, they go home. They say it's too late. "He doesn't remember you, so what do you want us to do?" Korea calls this respecting the child. On the other hand US court orders clearly states that the mother has serious concerns of mental issues and she is a threat to the child. The patenting evaluator said this is a form of child abuse. Korea ignores this problem. They just say we can't do anything. I love Korea and I wanted to trust that they can respect the law, but I am at a point that I have to take this into my own hands and raise public awareness. Last time I protested at Pike Place Market, and this time I went to Korean Consulate in Seattle. [Watch Video](kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqi7cqmIlK9piKssi=gY5cZd-HM1ycaGdg) I would appreciate it if you can spread the words, and tell people. If we can't bring Bryan back, no children will be safe from being abducted to South Korea. Thank you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqi7cqmIlK9piKssi=mfEDZbr3NNZWtMeJ

Sadly for DECADES J&J Baby Powder talc had arsenic AND asbestos in it, and THEY KNEW IT! How many people got cancers or breathing problems from just that one example..and there's SO MANY MORE. I was a 9/11 rescue worker and us and the clean up guys were NEVER TOLD the air was FULL of asbestos!! The EPA knew and George Bush Jr asked them to tell people the air was safe, cuz you gotta get "Wal street" and "Mainstreet" going again. I was there for a few days and have asthma and about 20 autoimmune diseases...more people have died from the Asbestos now then the actual attack killed, and that's KNOWN data! The clean up guys to first responders like firemen, paramedics,nurses,etc and police who survived were told the levels were safe even though the EPA was getting readings of 120,000x the recommended safety limit, but we're never told.

Idk about that but I know most hair products aren’t given safety validation when it comes to hair treatments. For example hair bleachers and dyes have warnings that it’s not FDA approved and that you are to avoid getting anywhere near open wounds and wombs. There are also shampoos that tells you to avoid getting in your eyes mouth or nose. We need to be careful with all chemicals as is because you never know what is going to cause major side effects to your body. Consumable products are mostly fda regulated. Chemicals are CDC regulated to approve whether they can be used for application of skin, hair, etc. I do know hair relaxer is a highly strong chemical to begin with so it might cause skin to negatively react. Also hair can also negatively react to the chemical. It all depends on the person.

I cleaned houses for 23 years. I used cleaners for the shower. Years of headaches and illness, I just thought it was my bad sinus and allergies. Then I started getting nose bleeds. I pray God please help me get better, this is weird, I don't know what's going on, help me? I went to work, climbed into the shower to clean and scrub it and got the worse nosebleed yet. I stopped using that particular product. But several years later I developed meningitis, afterwards I suffered a severe form of epilepsy, Do I think the cleaners caused it? Maybe yes. But I live out in the country with farm fields all around me. So, it could be Monsanto too. There is also an oil well behind my house, so it could be argued it's the Round-up or the Sevin, right? I am a single mom who had to go on disability due to these issues, so no $ to hire a lawyer....I don't want to scare anyone, but cleaners are risk, and so is everything else in our modern-day society..

This hits so close to home. Here in the UK I used to work for a company that tests bacteria for food & water products before being released to the public. I left the company literally a few weeks ago because of management & idk if im glad i left or not. The company is a massive sh*t show rn since a lot of people left the company & training new people is a difficult with the increase in workload of 600 samples a day to 1000 a day. One of my friends still works there & has told me it's gotten so much worse since I left, not only w/ management, but also the lab techs being told by the managers to enter fake results as to not annoy the customers w/ late results. My friend emailed upper management & they haven't informed her of any follow ups whatsoever. Whilst I have heard previously from other lab techs that these companies have their own labs that tests for bacteria but also make us test for them, I really hope that's the case cuz I'm scared there might be an outbreak of food poisoning, especially Listeria Monocytogenes. That's one of the worst Listeria species in food, especially to those who're pregnant since it could potentially cause a miscarriage. I feel so guilty for not being able to do anything about it

One of my upper classmates had a similar experience at her internship last year. She was at a government funded lab, which works along with doctors and clinicians to get a diagnosis on patients with encephalitis. They were basically shortening most of the incubation times to go faster, for example incubating only 20 or 30 minutes instead of an hour, at almost every single step of the protocols. And then they sent back the results, and the diagnosis, that couldn't actually be confirmed because it wasn't done even close to properly. It's probably still like this as well, since this was only 6 months ago. Sometimes I feel like I see life with rose colored glasses, and then I come across things like these and my entire worldview just shatters. I just don't understand how people can knowingly do things like these.
