Health Tips for the New Year

[obcy26]

What is a purpose in asking you questions if you answer me in every sentence you throwing out?

[screenflicker1]

remember though that assumes 1gm=1ml. Which means density is 1g/cc

[screenflicker1]

@thelleht someone's paying attention

[Ensiferu]

eating charcoal can be very healthy as it may prevent you from dieing if you ingested something poisonous before

[Jzend001]

where did you get your jacket from?

[nnnjc1]

you are so unenthusiastic you drain the life out of me

[musicman02]

It doesn't matter if sperm doesn't contain the same protein by weight as steak.

Also, he's not suggesting anyone eat it and he's not saying he does eat it.

He's suggesting that by not blowing his load he is saving energy, which he would have to reclaim (very slowly) by eating that variety of food, and waiting some time. He claims this practice makes him more aggressive.

Guess what, it's true. He's not deluding himself. You just wanted to enjoy belittling a man :)

[daemonowner]

@musicman02 Lol wtf.

[ShawnD1]

Throwing up is for losers. Real men and women eat a hand full of vitamin C pills then have diarrhea for maybe 2-3 hours.

(yes it actually does that)

[ShawnD1]

That shirt is so awesome. 

[LonesomeTroubadour]

I used to be on the glazed doughnut and pez diet.

[fabiocool874]

hahaha funny

[szabikabika]

reabsorb that stuff, I am not sure what he meant by that, If he thought of not releasing it at all we should give him credit though, just one load carries huge amount of energy, the body takes a while to produce that, and an 18 ounce dry aged cowboy cut prime buffalo rib eye will not replenish that I assure you, does not matter how much protein it has. You release za sperm you're history in the cagefighting business

[daemonowner]

Regarding the cage fighter 'reabsorbing' his semen, were the hell does he think it comes from? His body! He produces it! So not only is he not gaining a net benefit, but he is expending energy to have sex!

[dave28lax]

Re: the semen guy - what can you expect from someone who fights cages?

[acftmech777]

How high does the temp go on that hoodie? I think it is really cleaver idea Rebecca tell your mom it was a win for a present!

[CarbonSuit]

i love how people need to be reminded that athletes are superstitious. maybe we should all start wearing our baseball caps inside out for better health too.

[JaguarEscarlata]

I'm going to make the "raaaahh" into my battlecry... or my orgasmcry.

[weberbeat]

You're cool, Rebecca. -5°C or even 20°F.

[salerio61]

I've been trying to convince my g/f about the nutritional properties of semen for years.

[AUSEAOTTER]

200? Slow night.

[rayoat]

your great, come accross 1 of your clips about 2 hours ago and now its 5 am ... !

You very funny and intelligent, and in responce to 1 of your other videos? you look great too :))

[salamirterra]

Getting activated charcoal and regular charcoal mixed up is an epic way to have some bad meals.

[ValuesAustralia]

Rubens Barrichello says in his PowerBalance testimonial, “It is amazing how I feel better, stronger and more flexible when I exercise.” Isn't it amazing how exercise will do that for you, though! (Apparently PB don't like people asking too hard questions and making them tell the truth - they don't have Australia on their list of countries where it's available.)

[ValuesAustralia]

I'm on a diet so where can I get sugar-free maple syrup? Would it be okay to replace it with semen or would that be too high in salt? Maybe a sprinkle of charcoal would remove the bad sodium?

[billygutter01]

One (rhetorical) question at this point:

Why haven't I subscribed to this channel?

*subscribes*

Fixed.

Whew!

[GodKillerAtheist]

I think they should let people buy the stupid bracelets. It's like marking the idiots so we know who to steer clear from.

[AdHocRationalizing]

So you reabsorb semen by having sex without ejaculating? Holy crap, that's gotta be some painful blue balls.

[milkboneunderwear]

So many semen reabsorbing jokes, so little room. I can see the Reeses paraody now. "You got charcoal in my semen.  You got semen in my charcoal. Mmmmmm!"

Raaaaaaaaa.

[Joerexia]

Damn, I've been swindled. And the ejaculation diet sounded so sensible!

[BespokeGroupUK]

LOL. Totally hilarious :) Happy new year

[opaldragon75]

Your advertising method are too powerful, craving Placebo Bands!!

where'd you get that cool hoodie (we call them bunny-hugs where I live).

[Ricktard1010]

I think Naomi Campbell's diet might go very well. Perhaps she'll die of malnutrition. Then she can't say no.

[peruface]

God Damn Your Hot

[opaldragon75]

@peruface Have to agree... she is the only reason I would support full human cloning, every geek deserves a hot cool smart chick like her!

first - get the technology

second - get genetic sample! <- I wonder if she'll go for it!

[TIPinkUnicorn]

How can you possibly re-absorb sperm. Except ... Hey. Wait! So the next fad on Oprah will be the bukakke diet? Rah!

[rgzdev]

This is your best video of the year! Very funny.

[ScentedNectar]

I think it's working. You weren't tipping to either side much, and that was a powerfully funny video. So, therefore placebo-band works. :)

[falchion49]

It's nice to know that the good old snake oil salesman is alive and well.

[judgemartiniz]

The link I clicked was a lie. This is NOT the Naked News.

[ChilapaOfTheAmazons]

The sperm thing was too much detail. Waaay too much. Like if you didn't mention the whole thing at all, I would still be grossed out. Someway.

[czdavid1]

Cool hoodie...I expect it has more scientific validity as a thermometer than some of the crackpot practices you talked about.

[akrulla]

lol, nice vid. Although (dick warning) I would love if you spliced images/video clips with the things you're talking about...? :)

[ctso74]

I think your math is a little off. 2000 x 15mg makes 30 grams, not 200... I really don't think that's what's in the "Lumberjack Slam", as the name would imply.

[RustyCyler]

Those Power Balance bands remind me of those magic rope necklaces that a shitpile of baseball players wore during the playoffs this year. I can't believe in this day and age... .... *facepalm & shakes head*

[grape387]

Hey, I watched this and now I feel better. Do I need to send in som money now? ;)

[Roseybaby63]

I'm new to your channel. You amuse me greatly. I'm glad I subscribed.

[gilberto201]

Did you make a magical rune in your placebo band?

My D&D character have one, and gives him +2 Dexterity.

[selkie630]

You still rock ... I think you should open and close each video by saying "raaahhh"

[whatsolomon]

Rebecca I really like your videos.

But I feel like both you and the SGU make quick assumptions when it comes to any supplement that isn't used in a hospital.

From what I read, charcoal, (Activated Charcoal actually), when administered promptly and in sufficiently large amounts, appreciably reduces the gastrointestinal absorption of such drugs as aspirin.

But yea, that lady shouldn't be putting it in her food. Why take it if you haven't ingested any toxins recently, as it only works promptly.

[ghuegel]

@whatsolomon But you just debunked the claim yourself. The fact that charcoal can be used to good effect in certain circumstances doesn't mean that it should be used as a regular dietary supplement... unless you regularly eat poison.

[whatsolomon]

@ghuegel I didn't know that the claim was that it was a regular basis detox. If so, then yea, that's insane. I got the impression from Rebbecca that activated charcoal has no benefits whatsoever and using it would make you look like you have a mental disorder.

Like I said, other times they are more up front with it. Though I love the SGU, I use melatonin, and I have heard them bash it. 

[ghuegel]

@whatsolomon It depends on what you use melatonin for. It probably can help shift your sleep rhythm to help with jet-lag or delayed/advanced sleep phase syndrome, but only if it's timed right. Even then, it might have unfortunate side effects... it shrinks the balls of certain animals, and I don't think it's known what side effects it has on people.

I remember it coming up on the show but don't remember exactly what they said about it...

[whatsolomon]

@ghuegel That's exactly what I use melatonin for. I time it correctly (2 hours before bed).

Anyway, I don't know of any side effects of melatonin in correct dosage. It is a bodily hormone so the .5 mg i take is not going to shrink my balls as far as i know.

Steve mentioned it once and quickly dismissed it saying "which doesn't do much."

But dude I'm not hating, just saying this isn't the first time they quickly dismiss supplements.

[ghuegel]

@whatsolomon I know you're not hating. But the evidence for how much it can help, as far as I know, is limited. I'm always skeptical of my own (and others') anecdotal "evidence", but I do think Melatonin has helped me with delayed sleep phase syndrome and jet lag.

The body tightly regulates endogenous hormones, so supplementation could have serious detrimental effects. The results of thorough research are important.

I think they're just going by existing evidence, which is limited.

[whatsolomon]

@ghuegel Agreed. But they should give credit where credit is due.

[ghuegel]

The placebo effect has little to nothing to do with psychology, that's why it works on animals too. It's mostly about regression to the mean. Steven Novella has some salient things to say about this, you should look him up.

[rkwatson]

@ghuegel I'm going to assume you're joking but on YouTube you can never be too sure...

[ghuegel]

@rkwatson Be sure.

[rkwatson]

@ghuegel Oh thank the FSM

[ghuegel]

@rkwatson Isn't it like 4am? But it's good that you're praising His Noodleliness at all hours. He is a jealous Meal, and inflicts insomnia on any who don't worship Him when they'd rather be sleeping but can't.

[awesome220]

@ghuegel Reading youtube comments is bad for my blood pressure and mental stability.

[Shawnruss]

@ghuegel

Placebo has a lot to do with psychology actually.

Steven Novella even states 'mood' and 'belief' have a lot to do with why placebo seems to have some effect.

Very few studies have been done regarding animals and placebo. Animals can be psychologically 'tricked' to respond to placebos. Researches put medicine (say, immuno-suppression) in distinctively flavored drink [administered to dogs] after the meds were removed, the brain associated the taste, and some immune suppresion was noted

[lazyperfectionist1]

That study that determined that a placebo is effective even if one knows it's a placebo, I wonder if they tested to make certain that the people being tested knew what the word "placebo" meant.

[HebaruSan]

Even allowing for the sake of argument that semen was some kind of wonder-food, why would "re-absorbing" it be better than not producing it in the first place, and why would the sex have to be unprotected for it to work? Gahh, the only part of this that makes any sense is your suggestion about truck stops.

[msginca]

Yea right Rebecca ... so you're saying the pureed carrot paste(Gerbers) that I keep in my ears while asleep allnight hasn't hightened my sense of hearing so much that now I can even hear what people are thinking? Everyone knows rabbits have big ears. It's so immature to be jealous Rebecca.

[GingerDemarque]

How about Susan Summers and all of her "bio-identical hormone" garbage? That woman peddles some dangerous stuff. Oestrogen has been shown to increase the risk of many cancers, stroke, heart attack, and dementia. It doesn't matter if it's "natural". Slapping the words "natural" and/or "organic" onto something does not invariably make them good for you.

[GoblinXXX]

@GingerDemarque That's why I use only ALL NATURAL arsenic! (Suzanne Summers herself is good evidence that the shit she sells leads to dementia.)

[GingerDemarque]

@GoblinXXX

Have you tried the ALL NATURAL hemlock? Or the ALL NATURAL Nightshade? I heard they're really good for insomnia.

[GoblinXXX]

@GingerDemarque Nightshade goes right to my thighs, but if hemlock was good enough for Socrates, then by golly, it's good enough for me!

[GingerDemarque]

@GoblinXXX

Yeah, I heard he never had any problems with insomnia after that. But see, it probably wouldn't have helped him if it weren't organic AND all natural. You gotta have both.

If you look more into fat flush diet that Naomi Campbell and all of these other celebrities are peddling you will see just how ridiculous and made up it is. Supposedly, the maple syrup you use HAS TO be Grade B or else it doesn't work. There's probably some super secret compound only found in the Grade B stuff.

[GoblinXXX]

@GingerDemarque If it's just a quick weight loss thing, there's nothing new about drinking a whole lot and not eating-- You can flush out something like 10 pounds of water weight, but all you're doing is dehydrating yourself, and it all comes back as soon as you start eating normally, again. Just put all that syrup and lemon in your all natural green tea and enjoy it as a beverage, and never mind pretending it "burns fat". ;)

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

LOL reabsorbed into his body? wtf?

[GoblinXXX]

@equallyeasilyfuqyou Picture a wet-dry vac sucking up spilled milk.

[FlashFizz]

A rising temperature and a falling zipper: Which is the cause and which is the effect?

[lazyperfectionist1]

@FlashFizz It depends on whose zipper and whose temperature.

[lardo444]

if you're dieting try urinal blocks. they taste pretty good but makes you puke. works for me, i lost 50 pounds in 1 month.

peace, lardo.

[noswonky]

Can't beat a good placebo!

[erlendaakre]

wow.. The movie even ends with a generous offer to have the evidence of creationism sent to me from "the good news magazine".. or an "NRGY balance wristband".. though choice :D

[erlendaakre]

Damn you google adwords! How dare you promote "Saint Johns Wart" right in front of Rebeccas nose like that!

Over Irony'd!

[GoblinXXX]

@erlendaakre St John should try some Compound W for his wart.

[ArranoGris]

Speaking of year-end wrap-up type stuff...are Sylvia's predictions for 2011 out yet? Or did she finally smoke her larynx to death.

[HarshColby]

CNBC reported the Power Band scam made $35M. WTF?

[IIRocKnRoLLaII]

just ordered my placebo band, gonna be super buff real soon!

[dominictemple]

So Alex Reid is trying to preserve his 'precious bodily fluids.' That reminds me of something, I can't quite place it.

[ArranoGris]

@dominictemple

The weird military guy from Dr. Strangelove.

[dominictemple]

@ArranoGris

Bravo, General Ripper to be precise. ; )

[zabukazar]

I love getting my info from a pretty face. You make me go RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! but It's the retaining part I have a problem with.

[fruitikay]

I like your jacket that has the temperatures. lol that's awesome. 

[sharrynuk]

I like your thermometer shirt.

[megamarsvin]

200? I better get to work.. >_<

[vanhalen901]

i want to plow you and go RAAAAAAH

[1337Kraid]

raaaaaah-raaaaah!



[SkyGrain]

More of this type of videos will be just beyond great. Good job !

[montemplar]

Considering Alex Reid's relative success (or lack thereof) as a cage fighter, I would say he needs to rethink that strategy of his. ;)

Also, the hoodie rocks! *thumbsup*

[whistlingdust]

I was just thinking while watching this how you seemed so much more balanced. Now I know why. I've got a pair for my ankles just make sure.

[Lunaa3]

I feel like if I did buy the Placebo band, the idiots who actually believe in similar bands would think I am laughing with them not at them.

[crusaders36]

omg I love your hoodie!!! Love these vids... Keep it real rebecca

[rkwatson]

@crusaders36 Thanks! My mom got the hoodie for me for Christmas. I'll pass along the compliments to let her know she nailed it this year. :)

[CousinoMacul]

@rkwatson Does the zipper begin at -40?

[sasnsatx]

And you actually paid for one of those bands yourself?

[BluesMan2]

raaaaaah

[themattsander]

This video makes me go raaaaaah
