1
00:00:01,672 --> 00:00:06,223
Yes, medical bullshiters prey on people looking for cures and desperate or bored people

2
00:00:06,223 --> 00:00:14,211
will believe what they want to believe. So, just to believe how strong the power

3
00:00:14,211 --> 00:00:15,836
of suggestion really is, we spent all day at a popular mall. We set p a bunch of

4
00:00:15,836 --> 00:00:23,591
outrageous fake medical equipment along with our very own fake doctor, who demonstrated our products to a

5
00:00:23,591 --> 00:00:26,040
lot of willing believers. Like this lady. Tell me a little bit about what your problem

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:36,641
is. Oh, my problem is with my right wrist, it is something that kind of comes and goes and it makes it hard

7
00:00:36,641 --> 00:00:39,985
for me to move my wrist where it is painful.

8
00:00:39,985 --> 00:00:43,880
Magnet therapy, in case you didn't know, has been around for thousands of years. The

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,876
idea is that the magnets attract the iron in the blood so if you would like to try it, . . .

10
00:00:49,876 --> 00:00:53,034
Sure - anything that would help relieve this pain . . ..

11
00:00:53,034 --> 00:00:58,096
Alright. We started with a child's toy magnet to see how that would work.

12
00:00:58,096 --> 00:01:09,567
Ooo. I do feel . . . Oh it feels like there is something kind of rushing through there . . .

13
00:01:09,567 --> 00:01:12,075
A little rushing sensation.

14
00:01:12,075 --> 00:01:17,230
Well, that magnet really seemed to be doing the trick. The only thing is, that earlier we demagnetized

15
00:01:17,230 --> 00:01:23,080
all the magnets and they were not doing diddley. Since the small magnets worked so well,

16
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,560
how would a bigger magnet do? especially a phoney one made out of aluminum rain gutter?

17
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,279
Wow!

18
00:01:30,279 --> 00:01:33,800
We want to put it above your hands here and start moving it and you tell me if you

19
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,778
feel anything. Is that stronger or . . .?

20
00:01:38,778 --> 00:01:41,378
Oh, I feel it - right in here!

21
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,765
And it is a little stonger!

22
00:01:46,765 --> 00:01:49,552
Our fake big boy magnet seemed to be doing the trick. But we were not through yet.

23
00:01:49,552 --> 00:01:54,840
So let's try our magnomitts, and these not only have magnets on the outside, as you can see,

24
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,580
they have them sewn on the inside. See if this helps you to make it easier to do that for you?

25
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:09,474
You know something? I actually think I am feeling some kind of relief with this magnet!

26
00:02:09,474 --> 00:02:16,951
Well, the magnomitts were really working, so our next product should be even more beneficial. [music]

27
00:02:16,951 --> 00:02:22,480
Our very special magnohat. Our patient gave the product a thorough workout before giving us her verdict.

28
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,000
I have kind of a sensation of uh maybe a little more energy?

29
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Well, the power of suggestion was working its magic, so we wanted to know how much she would pay for

30
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,085
a pair of magnomitts?

31
00:02:36,085 --> 00:02:43,236
Uh, magnomits like this? Oh, maybe 30 dollars for the pair.

32
00:02:43,236 --> 00:02:45,605
You know, if we worked her, she would go $50.

33
00:02:45,605 --> 00:02:51,224
Our phony doctor had is own bit of chiropractic fun flammery to try out. But was anyone going to

34
00:02:51,224 --> 00:02:58,794
fall for it? We have here a chiropractic coat. This is the first comsumer self-adjusting chiropractic

35
00:02:58,794 --> 00:03:03,995
coat. it is all done with weights. Can you feel that weight?

36
00:03:03,995 --> 00:03:05,080
Yeah.

37
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,100
I can see that you are just sort of listing a little bit to the left here.

38
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:12,122
Okay.

39
00:03:12,122 --> 00:03:15,930
You can just pull these weights and redistribute them, if you wanted to just stick that

40
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:19,320
there, for example, very simple. Right?

41
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,085
Yeah.

42
00:03:21,085 --> 00:03:24,243
Now we are going to take these weights here, and place them here.

43
00:03:24,243 --> 00:03:27,633
So what we are going to do now is let you walk in the coat, and we will tak to each other

44
00:03:27,633 --> 00:03:29,769
on this walky talky.

45
00:03:29,769 --> 00:03:35,480
Okay. [Flute music]

46
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,710
How is it feeling?

47
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:43,794
It feels good, It feels good. Everything feels pretty much balanced. Might have a little more

48
00:03:43,794 --> 00:03:45,800
weight to my left than my right.

49
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,042
Try changing that right now.

50
00:03:49,042 --> 00:03:51,224
Okay, I made the adjustment.

51
00:03:51,224 --> 00:03:53,035
Let me know how if feels.

52
00:03:53,035 --> 00:03:57,040
It feels really good. I can feel it working my vertebras.

53
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,227
Raise your right arm. Lets put the right arm out and the left arm up. Try lifting

54
00:04:04,227 --> 00:04:10,040
your leg onto the bench and just walking forward with your left foot on the bench and your

55
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,772
right foot on the ground.

56
00:04:12,772 --> 00:04:20,240
Before using the chirocoat I felt more sluggish and after using the chirocoat I felt more energized,

57
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,218
it kind of pulled my vertebras together and made me feel a lot better than I did before.

58
00:04:25,218 --> 00:04:27,633
What would you pay for a coat?

59
00:04:27,633 --> 00:04:30,560
I would pay upwards to about 200 bucks.

60
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,643
So - let's go back to the mall to see if someone would take part in our good doctor's most ambitious s

61
00:04:36,643 --> 00:04:38,825
scheme yet.

62
00:04:38,825 --> 00:04:42,800
I hear your are here to have a little facial with our new patented mucous mask.

63
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,884
Yes sir.

64
00:04:45,884 --> 00:04:47,463
Snail mucous, for example contains glycoprotein.

65
00:04:47,463 --> 00:04:49,840
Yeah - he said snail mucous.

66
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,804
They are not really going to let us do this - are they?

67
00:04:52,804 --> 00:04:57,320
Let's start going here. Feel good?

68
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,717
Mmhmm. They are nice and cool on my face.

69
00:05:03,717 --> 00:05:06,225
Feel that?

70
00:05:06,225 --> 00:05:09,847
Oh yeah.

71
00:05:09,847 --> 00:05:27,030
As they move its like me feeling across my face - where they leave their mark, my skin

72
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:29,445
is tightening up.

73
00:05:29,445 --> 00:05:34,507
Yeah - he is enjoying his snail facial, and it wasn't just him - others went along with this too.

74
00:05:34,507 --> 00:05:38,440
Actually this is the first time I have ever heard of the mucous mask. It is a very

75
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,730
relaxing experience.

76
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:45,000
It feels better - I can tell especially underneath my eyes.

77
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,364
There is a little circular massaging movement.

78
00:05:51,364 --> 00:05:59,259
Actually it is feeling pretty nice.. Like a mini-massage on my face. Like a little snail massage.

79
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:02,371
Its really cool, I like that.

80
00:06:02,371 --> 00:06:05,946
And the snails can really sense where those eye wrinkles are and even more important, the snails

81
00:06:05,946 --> 00:06:08,872
really care about getting rid of your wrinkles.

82
00:06:08,872 --> 00:06:16,628
But surely people would not pay for this kind of treatment.

83
00:06:16,628 --> 00:06:22,711
I would probably pay about $25 for a mucous mask treatment.

84
00:06:22,711 --> 00:06:31,396
After their relaxing snail facial, it was time to find out what they felt were the benefits

85
00:06:31,396 --> 00:06:33,346
of the mucous mask.

86
00:06:33,346 --> 00:06:35,900
Oh, yeah, the wrinkles are gone around my eyes.

87
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:42,440
My face does feel tighter, like I have used an astringent or some type of mask.

88
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:50,157
It was all dry under there and now it is nice and smooth and relaxed.

89
00:06:50,157 --> 00:06:59,863
[music]

90
00:06:59,863 --> 00:07:05,018
These people are not stupid, these people are us. People trust others and sadly, sometimes

91
00:07:05,018 --> 00:07:09,987
that is the problem. We hit the people in the mall with the snail and had a good laugh and

92
00:07:09,987 --> 00:07:16,349
walked off. But some of these other doctors are at best taking money, and at worst hurting people.

93
00:07:16,349 --> 00:07:20,520
In between taking people away from treatments that could really help.

94
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,476
Look, it is not our job to tell you how to live your life, but you don't want to be ripped off

95
00:07:24,476 --> 00:07:29,631
just because you are not asking enough questions. Fortunately there were plenty of people

96
00:07:29,631 --> 99:59:59,999
at the mall that knew the snails were bullshit, it just wasn't as funny, so we didn't show that.
