I saw a Facebook ad… no, really I was on there 6.5 minutes and saw 2 bajillion ads — about a program you can buy to lose weight. It’s not the typical type of weigh-loss plan, but it has received 7100 reviews through Trustpilot that ranks the product 4.5 stars (out of 5).
Virtual gastric band. 😳
Over 1 million people have purchased and downloaded the 3 week hypnotherapy program to convince their brains that they’ve had gastric band surgery.
It works by telling your brain that part of your stomach has been banded off so you’ll feel fuller sooner. No surgeon cutting your belly and no adjustable silicone band around the upper part of your stomach. But in 3 weeks, your brain will believe all that happened.
Already, the world has over 1 million people whose brains can be convinced they’ve undergone bariatric surgery?
Imagine that for a moment if you will.
Then, reflect on the current challenges of the world and tell me that the mainstream media — and social media — aren’t POWERFUL tools that influence the minds of many, many people. If you can be convinced you’ve had surgery, everything else is on the table.
That’s about as dark — and interestingly scary — as last night’s sky in the Ville.
Non-virtual for the win!
Santa brought Perry a Pit Boss. Last night, we dined on something AMAZING! I’m thrilled I didn’t get sucked into that virtual gastric band mumbo jumbo. Whew!
Now you know: Driving certain cars on certain days is banned in the Philippines. According to the number your license plate ends with determines if it’s allowed on public roads on that day.
