Debunking Some of the Internet's Questionable Medical Myths

Home remedies are all over the internet and how-to videos rack up millions of views, but do they actually work? Some of the most popular are videos that claim sleeping with an onion in your sock will remove toxins and even make your feet smell better by killing bacteria. But Dr. Roshini Raj says that onion trick is nothing more than a myth. "Onions are actually quite healthy if you eat them, but putting them in your sock is not going to do anything for you medically," she told Inside Edition. #InsideEdition

So when you get burned you rub butter on yourself? You want to season yourself while you get cooked?

According to my teacher a paper towel fixes everything
Example:
Me:Mrs my arm fell off and I am about to die
My Teacher:Have a wet paper towel. 😑
Me: really

I swear by R.I.C.E
Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. That’s just what I do if I have a soar leg or arm or anything.

I have toothpastes on my skin right now lol

[sleepless]

Papa surfs skin did not actually turn blue cuz he was drinking it. It turned blue because he was applying in to his skin

[mirandahernandez]

Actually toothpaste saved my life I agree with toothpaste not made for your face but ...two years ago I suffered from bad acne and ever since I started applying toothpaste, my face has been as clear as a babies bottom ...I guess it just depends on people's faces, we all react differently to different things

[pinkusfloydus]

A lot of these things work because of placebo effect..

Meaning if someone believes it will work.. It will.

Mind over matter

Think about that.

not going to lie the colloidal silver stuff actually helps me
