How can you distinguish between actual health hacks and fake health trends? In this video, I’m going to tell you about ten health hacks that don’t work and often cause more harm than good. Avoid these health hacks to save your health and your wallet!
0:00 Introduction: Health hacks debunked
0:17 Ear candling
1:10 Gallbladder flush
2:36 The master cleanse
3:27 Foot detox pads
4:16 Foot detox bath
5:26 Ab belts
6:20 The blood type diet
7:18 EMF blockers
7:56 Carb blockers
9:12 Psychiatric medication
1. Ear candling
This treatment has been debunked by a doctor of audiology! There is absolutely no difference in ear wax before and after ear candling.
2. Gallbladder flush
This almost killed me! A gallbladder flush involves drinking 12 ounces of olive oil followed by beet tablets to eliminate gallstones. This really eliminates bile, causing you to become deficient. TUDCA is a much better remedy to help prevent and eliminate gallstones and bile sludge.
3. The master cleanse
This cleanse combines lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup, which won’t cleanse your body but will mess with your blood sugar.
4. Foot detox pads
You can not pull toxins and heavy metals out of your feet as there are no detox pathways through the skin.
5. Foot detox bath
Similar to foot detox pads, a chemical reaction changes the water’s color during a foot detox bath, leading you to believe it’s pulling toxins out of your body.
6. Ab belts
Stimulating the stomach muscles or sweating will not remove fat from your midsection. Visceral fat must be removed through diet and exercise.
7. The blood type diet
This diet is not supported by credible research. Blood types relate more to an immune difference rather than a digestive difference.
8. EMF blockers
A sticker on your cell phone can not block the EMF radiation it omits.
9. Carb blockers
Carb blockers contain an extract that can inhibit the digestion of a minimal amount of starch, not sugar. You would need to take several bottles to inhibit the digestion of the starch from one donut.
10. Psychiatric medication
The effectiveness of psychiatric medication can be comparable to placebo outcomes. They may also come with serious side effects and can be highly addictive.

Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988. His use of “doctor” or “Dr.” in relation to himself solely refers to that degree. Dr. Berg is a licensed chiropractor in Virginia, California, and Louisiana, but he no longer practices chiropractic in any state and does not see patients, so he can focus on educating people as a full-time activity, yet he maintains an active license.

It should not be used to self-diagnose, and it is not a substitute for a medical exam, cure, treatment, diagnosis, prescription, or recommendation. It does not create a doctor-patient relationship between Dr. Berg and you. You should not make any change in your health regimen or diet before first consulting a physician and obtaining a medical exam, diagnosis, and recommendation. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
