Dr. Rife

I have no idea who they're talking about, but a quick search returns this page. Could be interesting. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 14:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, he's the one: Royal Rife. Bongolian (talk) 19:37, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Tesla biohealing

Another common scammer that appears in anything med beds related in social media is "Tesla biohealing". They have the "We cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition" disclaimer on their website and charge outrageous prices on their online shop. They seem to be one of the bigger players in the med beds and med beds adjacent world, should be covered in the article. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 18:56, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

[1] interesting comment, should be fact-checked and added to the article if true. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 14:39, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

[2] another comment about their claim of FDA-registration and why it's meaningless. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 14:56, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

That's an ingenious branding strategy by the by. If you haven't done the research (as until I looked at the article proper I thought it was associated with a certain South African modern day robber baron) you could easily associate it with the famous car company of aforementioned South African modern day robber baron.

@Vee It's even more amazing that people are actually buying their $600+ cans of cement. It really takes a special kind of scammer to fleece poor people looking for alternative treatments when they can't afford the proven, actually working treatments.

If you want to make it big, and don't have many particular scruples about doing so, con the gullible and needy. This is a strategy that has withstood the test of time. Vee (talk) 16:43, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Video

So, in the 1^st link above, there's a link to a YouTube video where some people "explain" their Tesla BioEnergy stuff (keep in mind, both the Tesla medbeds whatever and the bioenergy are cans of cement, the only difference is price and size).

Fortunately, it isn't too long, only 12 minutes, here's a brief resume of that video:

• The BioHealer generates a "huge amount of bio energy".
• It recharges all the cells in the body to form electrical vibrations.
  • In fact, it does this all the time (for eternity, as insinuated later, they never say that it runs out of life force), without the need to turn it on or do anything special except having it close to you at all times. We finally figured out the infinite energy machine boys!
• CLAIM ALERT They say to hold this device close to you, and say to hold this device close to wherever you are having pain, for example, when your digestion is off or if you have a headache (minute 2:54), with one of them claiming to feel a wave pattern when using it. Possibly couldn't be considered a claim because they didn't actually say it healed any of those conditions, but still, skirting very close to the line here.
• You should hold it close to your food or supplement for 48 hours for it to get a full charge (possibly of bio energy).
• They say there are no side effects. Why? Because it's a can of cement we all have a life force, and because it stops when your life force is full so you don't overdose, "no overdose, no side effect". "Just like oxygen".
• CLAIM ALERT Something about using it alongside other therapies to assist in healing, mentioning an example about taking a lot of medicines and detoxing your liver (minute 8:36).

That video was hard to get through, so boring. But I think that's the most important stuff from that video, unless I missed something. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 17:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Dammit, you got to it first. I was gonna make a joke about that before I saw you already did. Boo! Vee (talk) 17:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Directors

This company's directors are strangely anonymous, not a trace of their names on the official website. However, apparently their address is the same as DrNaturalHealing Inc, the company that James Liu is the founder of, that he used to sell AsthmaCare Kits, so perhaps this guy is also a director of Tesla BioHealing. No evidence for this though.

Anyone got any tips on finding out who the directors are? Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 16:09, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Nevermind, sometimes you just need to put CEO on search engines. So, according to Katie Peeler's LinkedIn, the CEO is indeed James Liu: "to work with Tesla BioHealing with Dr Liu who is the CEO of Tesla BioHealing.". I can't actually read that page, I'm going off the search engine highlight here. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 16:22, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Med bed image

@Bongolian No way, it's actually from a movie?! This image is shared everywhere as an image of a med bed, they literally just flipped the image! If it wasn't for all the scammers, I would suspect this whole thing to be a Poe. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 13:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

The photo looked too slick to be real for the likes of them, so I snooped around the internet. Bongolian (talk) 17:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

BBC on medbeds

[3] Kinda old at this point, but the BBC has covered medbeds on a December 2022 article, also covering Tesla BioHealing. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 09:56, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Irony section

How the fuck is universal healthcare a solution to conditions that have no cure or effective treatment? Also, in order to fall for this nonsense, one has to have money to buy the nonsense. Actually, universal healthcare could make this nonsense more prevalent because with it we're only an election, a sales pitch, and the stroke of a pen away from some airhead bureaucrat appointed by some numbskull politician deciding some pseudoscientific alternative medicine is a good alternative to science-based treatment for the lower class. Ever hear of traditional Chinese medicine? 71.208.119.221 (talk) 21:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
