Do you have thousands of dollars to buy blow on cheap quartz necklaces? Do you find yourself "attracted to rocks" (or perhaps you're just a lapsed Steven Universe fan). Let me introduce you to some great unintentional ASMR vids if you can filter out how fucking insane it all is:

gemstonetherapyinstitute.org/

Gemstone Therapy. This fraud is semi-genius, because she's clearly making big bucks on this shit (avg necklace cost for something made of cheap gemstones is $4k on her website), except I think she may actually believe in what she's selling, my favorite kind of snake oil salesman.

Here's a vid of how Gemstone Therapy "works":


Basically it involves paying some nut to stand over you and drape rock necklaces all over your body and listen to her talk about your spiritual leakage. The rocks supposedly are "guardians" (her words) that work to open your chakras, charge your crystals or some other bullshit. It's basically a hodgepodge of religious symbols and rituals, except you're praying to the rocks that are "helping you". The best and most woo part about it is how the guru claims this is some kind of learnable science, except that she believes bodies are "telling her" what rocks they need in order to "heal". She also has ingeniously created a 99% glycerin spray "infused with the essence of rocks" that she sells for $40 an ounce. You spray it on your self and apparently can speak clearly, be healthy, and maintain normal relationships. You can also pay to have her spray you over the internet. No idea how this possibly works.

I really can't describe how nutty these videos are without just suggesting you watch them. It's mostly insane because she is SO serious about how "scientific" her rock gods are. :(

Child has an imagination, and acts out. This apparently confuses his parents, who then hire a naturopth to treat him, rather than actually parenting him and telling him not to do something.

Naturopath gives a treatment made from rabid dog saliva.

Thank god there’s no way that could possibly fuck the kid over.

My only consolation in cases like these is there's a decent chance the kid is an idiot too, since his parents are both retards.

A lot of those stone necklaces can be gotten far more cheaply at fairs and department stores. I have an green agate necklace that cost me about $10.

Let's see how my necklace could be healing me if it cost $400.

Earthtones
Agate introduces your body to the earthtones and provides an abundance of them. Earthtones are a mixture of sound and light that nourishes our planet. They also have a particular affinity with physical tissue. When accepted by your body, earthtones energetically unite body parts and open lines of communication among them. Before Agate is mined, it offers this same benefit for Earth.

As a result of receiving earthtones, your body is prepared to more fully and completely receive the 7 life-giving color rays. You’ll also feel more grounded and grow more accepting of your physical incarnation.

So my liver and my kidneys could be besties? If only I could spare the cash for overpriced craft festival necklaces being shilled as magical healing stones.*sigh*

If you want to believe your gemstone jewelry is making you feel better, fine. But don't forgo actual medical attention because some con artist claims that standing over you with a string of rocks is going to heal everything.

So she claims the her clients bodies tell her what gems they need? This is honestly the best part. Because she can size them up to see how much they are willing to pay and then tell them they need whatever stone she can shill at that price.

11k for some tiny sapphires the size of Indian seed beads? https://gemformulas.com/product/blue-sapphire-white-beryl-necklace/
You know someone has been dumb enough to buy this.:lol:

Now this shyster isn't just shilling beads. She's also got aura sprays.

For just $17.47 you can spray yourself with a dose of wisdom, strength, vitality or intuition.

When you apply an aura spray, its gemstone energies are absorbed instantly into the body, emotions, memory, and mind, to provide energetic nourishment, clearing, and support. Our collection of aura sprays work in a variety of ways to promote greater harmony and health throughout one’s body and being.

A bizarre explanation of the patterns on each bottle: https://gemformulas.com/mandalas/

GEMFormulas’ aura sprays are made from therapeutic gemstones configured in certain patterns to provide specific healing benefits. These patterns were designed using principles of Gemstone Therapy and sacred geometry and numerology. They are illustrated on each bottle label. You can view each of these configurations, or “gemandalas” (gemstone mandalas) below. Click on the gemandala to read more about the gemstones in the formula.

Gazing at these gemandalas can call forth your body’s innate healing potential. It can also remind your body of the benefits received from the GEMFormulas’ aura sprays you’ve used previously.

Yes you read that correctly. Gemandalas.:lol:

It's like some kind of magical girl anime term or something.

Gazing at these gemandalas will help your chakras realign or something. Remember to buy the aura sprays first for the full effect.

But what are they made of and how do you use them? It gets even crazier: https://gemformulas.com/aura-sprays-more-information/

GEMFormulas’ Aura Sprays are made with water and organic grape alcohol that has been infused with the healing energies of therapeutic-quality gemstones. The gemstones configured in certain patterns (we call Gemandalas) to provide specific healing benefits. These patterns were designed using principles of Gemstone Therapy and sacred geometry and numerology. They are illustrated on each bottle label. See examples below:

Gemandalas_Student_Teleseminar_EU_MN_MF.jpg


The precise arrangement of therapeutic-quality gemstones creates the energy field that is imprinted into GEMFormulas’ sprays. We infuse the gemstone energies using a special device invented by our founder, Isabelle Morton, called a Gemstone Energy Field Imprinting device. Read Isabelle’s article: “How GEMFormulas Aura Sprays Are Made and Why”

When you apply a spray in the aura, its gemstone energies are absorbed instantly into the body, emotions, memory, and mind, to provide energetic nourishment, clearing, and support. Our collection of aura sprays work in a variety of ways to promote greater harmony and health throughout one’s body and being. Gemstones energies address needs and depletion that food and herbs cannot provide. They resolve important energetic weaknesses that are revealing themselves in our modern era.

Ways to Apply Aura Sprays:

Spray In:

This means to hold the bottle at arm’s length directly over or above a target area or chakra to be treated, and spray toward that target area or chakra on your body. Spraying in clears the area’s intelligence center.

Spray Out:

This means to hold the bottle of spray at the target area or chakra, point it directly away from the body, and spray out into your aura. This will clear accumulated energy from the aura itself.

Spray Overhead:

Hold the bottle at the top of your head with the nozzle pointing upward. Spray up. Let the mist rain down around you.

So essentially you are buying 2 ounces of water and alcohol that they claim are made with some kind of sacred geometry (c'mon those bottles are probably mass filled by the hundreds in some dingy factory in China) that you spray on your chakras to get inner peace and healing.

Here's an explanation on just how and why these wonderful bottles of chakra healing goodness are made: https://gemformulas.com/how-and-why-gemformulas-aura-sprays-are-made/

The way we make our gemstone aura sprays is a closely guarded secret.

Every day Mei Min Ling gets up at the crack of dawn and leaves the tiny dormitory that she shares with 17 other impoverished young women struggling to support their elderly parents back in the village. She trudges off through smog filled streets holding her surgical mask close to her face. She passes through the gate and enters the factory where she will sit at a conveyor belt for 15 hours taking small, colorful bottles and putting them into boxes. She doesn't know what the bottles say because she can't read English. Her friend works in another factory where they string cheap stones into necklaces. At least Mama and Baba will eat this winter.

Why Aura Sprays?

My motivation for developing gemstone aura sprays was to find a way to make gemstone energies available to a general audience. As gemstones become as popular as herbs and homeopathics, their widespread availability will become essential.

Both gemstones and herbs are of the earth and both support health. In my experience, herbs tend to focus on physical health and gemstones on energetic health. The need for supporting energetic health is real. With the advent of technologies that challenge our energetic health, along with growing awareness that the human energy field exists—and can be harmed—gemstones have an important role to play.

But how to make them readily available and affordable? To answer this need, I was taught about gemstone aura sprays and why they work.

  • The aura, or energy field, that surrounds the body recognizes gemstone energies as essential nourishment. When one applies gemstone aura spray in their energy field, the aura readily absorbs its gemstone energies. This is because gemstones are of the earth. We, too, are of the earth. Everything that comprises our physical vehicle comes from the earth. The earth provides everything we need to thrive. To help us survive the modern age, with its modern challenges that affect our energetic nature, the earth provides us with gemstones and the knowledge of how to use them.
  • The gemstone energies provided by an aura spray are readily received because they have simple molecular structures, such as SiO2 (quartz), or Al2O3 (sapphire). In comparison, the food we eat has complex molecular structures and must be broken down before we can receive its life-giving energy. Gemstone energies are simple to start with. The purer the stone, the purer its chemistry. This is why we use only top therapeutic-quality gemstones to make our sprays.
Energetic Stability and Shelf-Life

The device we use to make the sprays is called a Gemstone Energy Field Imprinting (GEFI) device and is based on technology that I was shown in 2009. Before I learned about the GEFI technology, I looked into methods already in use for making gemstone elixirs. They were based on placing gemstones in water and potentizing them in sunlight. But gem elixirs have a shelf-life of only a few days at best. No wonder they weren’t being sold in stores.

Here are four secrets to the stability of GEMFormulas’ aura sprays. These secrets contribute to the energetic stability of the aura sprays, and, therefore, substantially increase shelf-life.

  1. The gemstones are imprinted in a mandala format, and not by themselves. The geometry and relationship of the gemstones in a mandala offer a structure that helps hold together the gemstone energies and maintain their presence in the alcohol.
  2. The clear bottle allows in light to keep the imprinted gemstone energies charged.
  3. We imprint into alcohol, which does a far better job than water for holding the gemstone energies over time.
  4. The gems used to make sunlight elixirs become drained with continued use. The gemstones in the GEFI do not make physical contact with the alcohol, but their energies are imparted to it nonetheless. This device can also be used to regenerate the gemstones, so their energies are never used up.
How Gemstone Energies are Imparted to the Alcohol

To make the aura spray, we build the gemstone mandala on a special plate, using actual gemstones of very high quality. The design matches the mandala graphic on the label. We insert this plate into the GEFI device along with 180 proof organic grape alcohol.

The GEFI device rearranges the molecules of the alcohol medium so they are better structured and organized. At the same time, the GEFI device presents the alcohol with a constant supply of the gemstone mandala’s energy field.

The mandala’s energy field promotes and fine-tunes the molecular structuring of the alcohol to become an optimally receptive medium for the gemstone energies. As the structuring occurs, the gemstone energies move in. They populate the structure by surrounding each molecule. (See graphic below.) The structure also serves to keep the gemstone energies in place, with conservatively, a shelf-life of about eighteen months.

The graphics below show how the alcohol energies are structured and populated. Our original experiments were done with xylitol, so the illustrations show a xylitol molecule as the medium.

AuraSprays_Molecules_Illustrations.png


After the alcohol has been infused with gemstone energies, we dilute it with water to 20% alcohol. After considerable trial and error, we arrived at 20% as being the most effective amount without overwhelming a person with the gemstone energies.

How the Sprays Release Gemstone Energies to the Aura

When you apply a gemstone aura spray, you release thousands of potentized alcohol/water mist particles into the air. The interaction of air with the aura spray is significant for two reasons.

First, the air breaks apart the alcohol structure, freeing the gemstone energies. The energies transfer from the structure of the alcohol to the energetic structure of the recipient. The more organized the recipient’s structure, the better the gemstone energies will be received. The more a person uses the sprays, the more organized his or her energy field becomes. This is why the aura sprays seem to become more effective the more a person uses them.

Second, because air breaks down the molecular organization of the alcohol, the shelf life of a half-filled bottle of spray is shorter than a filled bottle. This is why we no longer offer 8-oz refill bottles. Better to get two 4-oz refills. While one bottle is being used, the other remains closed and protected from the diluting effects of additional air.

The Mandala Has a Holographic Effect

Another secret of the spray is that its gemstone mandala has a holographic effect. This helps to explain how the sprays work so effectively. It’s because they address a targeted condition from many angles. When a spray is applied on the body, the gemstone mandala is imprinted at all levels of manifestation.

  • In the graphic below, the spray is applied to the stomach. The mandala, and the gemstone energies it comprises, support the stomach itself (see graphic below left).
  • The mandala also affects each individual cell in the targeted area (see center graphic of the mandala superimposed on a cell).
  • Finally, the mandala also nourishes and supports the recipient’s entire body and being. (See graphic below right.)
If the body has a great need for the gemstone energies in the aura spray, it will soak them up immediately. You may need several spray applications before the gemstone energies have saturated the area and the mandala begins to appear in whole, in your field, as these illustrations suggest.

AuraSprays_Graphic_Mandala_Explanation.jpg


I’ve also noticed a curious mechanism where the body stores the mandala energies until needed. This was played out one day at the beach. I noticed the EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) Clearing mandala appear in my aura, like an umbrella to protect me. I had been using the spray regularly to increase my resilience to the EMR of my computer. Of course, the mandala that appeared in my aura did not substitute for sunscreen! But it did protect me from the exhaustion I usually feel after being in the sun all day.

This storage mechanism comes into play when you apply an aura spray regularly, even when you feel you no longer need it. Choose an aura spray that you’d like to work with and give it a try. Spray yourself several times a day for a month, and find out for yourself how your health can improve!

TL;DR: blah blah blah chakras, molecular structure of alcohol, holographic properties, EMR clearing mandala ect...

This lady must be a vampire because she gets exhausted from sunlight and needs a magical aura umbrella from a spray bottle full of water and alcohol to protect her.

This is one of the most absurdly hilarious websites I've sen in awhile. Anyone who gives this woman money deserves to be ripped off.
 
What fools. There's only one true way to charge your crystals
you know, humans are social animals and friendship is good for us, so i bet jacking off with one of your bros provides more health benefits than four thousand dollar healing crystals

white people who fervently believe traditional eastern medicine is vastly superior to western medicine are awful. i'm willing to believe some traditional eastern medicine has legitimate health benefits, but most of it is going to be garbage because that's the inherent nature of traditional medicine. and it's always clearly tinged with racism/orientalism/fetishism of the exotic, because these people never revive traditional western medical practices like bloodletting or crushing up sow bugs to use in poultices.

Not to mention the current form of "traditional Chinese medicine" as touted by quacks and scam artists was constructed as a form of nationalist propaganda, pushed by Mao and his government as a way to separate China from the Western world, convince the Chinese people that they did not need modern medical treatments, and make stupid Westerners buy into the aforementioned fetishism of the exotic (similar to how Nazi Germany rejected "Jew science" and bought into German-based pseudoscience).

Traditional Chinese medicine also contributes to poaching and animal trafficking. There is big bucks to made from rich Chinese men who want powdered ivory and dried tiger penises. I'm not gonna dismiss all big game hunting as bad, it can be good for sanctuaries to earn money off getting rid of problematic geriatric males who can't mate and have large harems. Some rich, elderly Chinese man who wants to bang his mistress and fuck hookers isn't gonna shoot his own rhino.

Thank god there’s no way that could possibly fuck the kid over.

And they tend to get more creative with those treatments the more they do it. Some of these naturopath crazies will try crazy shit like egg white and ash baths, sucking on a depressed fontanelle, dill and vinegar enemas and an assortment of whack shit on newborns and lactating infants.
 
Do we get to lump in the stay at home moms who fall for totally-not pyramid schemes they're just 'MLM" "detox" and "weight loss" pills without actually understanding what they're peddling? To include waist trainers and body tape?

What about wraps? It Works!™

Yeah, any shady "weight loss tea" or Perfect Health System™ MLM scam is fair game. If it takes your money while promising a world of health (while delivering diarrhea at best, death at worst), we laugh.

Luckily it was homeopathic so it literally included no dog saliva by the time the "treatment" was prepared. For people don't know what homeopathic means, it's a specific theory which states that medicine actually become stronger the more it's diluted. The numbers on the bottle tell how many times it's diluted, 100x is usually the lowest level, so you're buying a vial of water from a swimming pool with a pinch of some other thing mixed in, lol. The second principle is "like cures like" so itch would be cured by poison Ivy or something else that causes itching, but diluted over a thousand times. Some woos do this with their piss.
 
Has anyone mentioned "What Doctors Don't Tell You" magazine yet? They're pretty fun. Their owner, one Lynne MacTaggart, believes that when W H Smiths (a chain of newsagents in Britbongland) stopped selling their daft publication because it was full of shit, it was OBVIOUSLY because Big Pharma had leant on them.

This response shows that the fans of "What Doctors Don't Tell You" are obviously extremely rational individuals.

Where did that idea of tanning in a tanning bed to avoid frying her skin off in Jamaica come from though?
Someone who looks towards yoga instructors for medical advice and covers themselves in oil before getting into a tanning bed probably doesn't believe sun screen.

speaking of which, some soulless fuck face decided to fleece people out of their money by selling sunscreen pills that don't work at all. It's caught on and now tons of people sell them.
