Worryingly Asbetos is being made into homepoathic wands and reki stones. Most worryingly claiming to cure CANCER, which Asbestos causes.
Being sold to many people under the intentions of “bring a bonding action between one and the subject of one’s desires“and claiming that it’s the “etheric blueprint to correct imbalances and blockages that could manifest as physical disease and to heal cellular memory, one of the best stones for rousing the kundalini energies“
Chrysotile a type of Asbestos is quickly becoming one of the most requested minerals in reiki and crystal healing. And it’s not the only type of Asbestos being sold as a healing crystal.
Above is Richterite, it’s known to be as dangerous as any of the other Asbestos in the six categories and is being sold to people promising ironic cures for liver, pancreas, kidney or breast cancer.
Above is Tigers Eye, everyone knows it looks cool but it is also Asbestos and although polished Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim these are still dangerous.
While some types of asbestos may be more hazardous than others, all are dangerous. Leading health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classify all types of asbestos as cancer-causing substances.
The following are all a type of asbestos: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, winchite, suglite, richterite, actinolite and anthophyllite.
All the identified forms of asbestos can cause asbestosis, malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer and other serious diseases and will not cure any form of cancer.
Some agencies, such as the Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim amphibole varieties of asbestos are the most dangerous forms.
The EPA has abandoned projects aiming to identify which asbestos fiber types are the most toxic, citing the overall regulation of asbestos and asbestiform minerals as a more pressing priority.
EXCUSE ME WTF
Literally my reaction too, for just $20 you can pay to have a lump of raw asbestos shipped to you to cure you of various forms of cancer.
Peeps, if you didn’t know, asbestos is MINED. It’s a MINERAL that - like arsenic, yes, arsenic is mined too - many producers continued to mine despite knowing that ‘asbestos lung’ was a thing among their workers since basically the start. A great many mined substances can be harmful to you. Just because it comes out of the earth doesn’t mean you can safely hold it in your hand or have it in your home. Be aware!
Well said and thank you for reblogging and adding your comments :D
Didn’t know Tiger’s Eye was a form of asbestos…
Many people don’t. Tigers Eye is formed when crocidolite asbestos is replaced by quartz fibers, because it’s still asbestos based I’d not recommend smashing your tigers eye any time soon. But I will add it isn’t directly asbestos once the quartz replaces.
You can see the fibers on this piece of unpolished Tigers Eye below and why it’s still classed under asbestos.
Asbestiform is a mineralogical term referring to minerals that can be separated into fibers. Many regulatory definitions define a 3:1 length-to-width ratio as a fiber. The EPA states that all Asbestiform is as dangerous.
just to be clear it’s the fibrous particulates that are the hazard not the chemical content. if you have a nice polished piece of tigereye on your shelf it’s not going to kill you instantly, but if it starts to break or chip so that raw surface is exposed and starts to crumble those fibers off, that’s bad and you should dispose of it asap.
the bigger problem here is honestly that so much garbage is sold to desperate people as a miracle cure, like as a whole witch myself please understand why i’m saying this but your crystals and shit have no substantial impact on your health (like they’re really only tools you can use to adjust your own energy you already have so like maybe your pulled muscle hurts a little less but don’t fucking count on it that’s the scale we’re looking at here ) and half the ~alternative treatments~ that claim to cure cancer are actually seriously toxic. looking at you, apricot pits. but because health is a damn business in this country, there’s always money to be made, there are always fucking vultures around.
when i tell people how i got good with drawing, i get the same reaction that saitama gets when he told genos how he got super powerful. when I first started drawing i couldn’t draw for shit. i traced printed dragon ball z posters everyday until one day…i realized i wasn’t tracing anymore, i was doing it from memory.
the purpose of having a name for the flavor of your product is to tell me what flavor your product is
apparently, nobody ever told you this, and so you think the purpose of naming flavors is to sound like Death Knight talents
I don’t know what Icy Charge tastes like but I’m pretty sure it’s going to move me into melee with my target and slow their movement speed by 75% for 3 seconds
