Negative Ion Products Are Dangerously RADIOACTIVE

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.

Say it ain't so....unfounded claims made based on unscientific theories by snake oil salesmen culminate in dangerous products...that never happens.
If the outrageous claims of some miracle device aren't verified by the FDA, they're almost certainly not true and have a high likelihood of actually being dangerous if not deadly.

without doubt, the garbage that was tested is worthless - but the testing presented was a bit naive. Alpha particles do have a very short path-length - the alpha radiation that he was detecting (while the emitter was covered) may well have been from radon gas that is being produced by the the thorium in these devices. The threat from skin exposure to directly generated alphas is likely negligible - but the threat from ingestion of the thorium oxide coming off these dangerous trinkets is likely much greater than he recognized. A significant fraction of lung cancer deaths are from inhaled radon daughter products that occur naturally - all these products are part of the decay series for thorium...

This. Ingesting or inhaling alpha emitters is the biggest risk.
There was a guy who got a sliver of plutonium in him that was quickly removed. His pee was radioactive for the rest of his life.
