Shungite - Really? LC

SilleeMee — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 18:36:57 GMT

ShopLC has been making some serious statements regarding people's medical claims about this stone, Shungite. They are saying things like prevents cancer, stops migraines and headaches, and some more stuff about biological things it can do at the cellular level. How can they say that stuff on air? I hope they have a good legal team.

The LC sales spiel probably comes straight from the Internet which is rife with the same claims.

Just googles it on LC. The claims it is making are from hundreds of years ago. You need to do a little or a lot of research.

It's really awful but they've been making those medical claims about Shungite for a couple of years. If anything, the claims have gotten crazier. They probably save themselves with the qualifiers like "research shows" and "scientis say". They are also selling a Shungite book.

I just wanted to chime in @SilleeMee to say that I am laughing right now. Not at anything written in this thread.

When I read the word shungite in the title I thought whoa that sounds like something requiring antibiotiics. When I opened the thread and saw that a company is promoting this stone for it's healing properties I started laughing.

I remember one day they were selling shungite cut in the shape of a pyramid. The host was saying how shungite is used for energy clearing or something like that and that it needs to be charged periodically by sitting it outside in the moonlight. No joke, it was Cheryl who was saying this.

I've watched a little bit when they've had Shungite shows. They're not saying this tone is going to cure any medical condition. There's a lot of folklore on many stones. I know a few people who hold stones when they meditate or have them close when they do yoga. Some people also wear certain stones because of the lore behind them.

I do think it's going a little over board to tell people they should put their Shungite stones out during a full moon, half moon, or eclipse to give it more energy. I guess this is what Dan read on the internet.

strange that they claim such things on air.

@SilleeMee: They are saying that is no surprise, many people believe in that thing called Chakra, that claims certain gemstones have healing powers. I saw in another website a doctor saying that drinking crushed Shungite on a glass of water is good for you.

If I get Shungite is because I like the gem. I don't believe minerals have healing powers.

Perhaps the Chinese would believe that, since they torture animals for their so called "traditional medicine" and eat everything they move.

OMG I just saw the same thing the other night! I hadn't watched the channel since the holidays, but popped it on since I had been jewelry shopping recently, and I heard her say a diabetic's blood sugar was lowered BECAUSE of the Shugite or whatever it is. I freaked out! That is SO wrong. Folklore or not, that is so illegal. They must just be counting on the FTC or FCC just not caring enough to go after them, because there would have to be a ton of complaints for them to even consider acting.

I like shopping there, but if they do this a lot, I dunno, I'm going to reconsider. I don't like that brand of ethics.

Every time they have a presentation about shungite, they ALWAYS state that they are not giving medical advice, and that you should always consult your doctor regarding your concerns.

Then they usually show emails that they have gotten from viewers who have purchased this stone. Most of them claiming success with pain relief, and other claims. That is often followed by testimonials from the hosts themselves. Yadda, yadda.

I am very skeptical of any claims..if someone from my family claimed relief, I probably would believe them, but I’m not going to take what strangers are saying as the truth. I am sure that a lot of people that send the emails are laughing their butts off, as their phony emails are being read on TV. However, the stone is very pretty when high polished and set in sterling silver with a platinum overlay. So if nothing else, you have a pretty piece of jewelry. Or you can send it back for a refund within 30 days.

I believe in shungite about as much as I believe copper helps arthritis. I think some things have a placebo effect, in other words, mental. But not for me.
