Paracelsus in Switzerland is the most expensive rehab in the world, serving a clientele of royalty, politicians, oligarchs, business tycoons and A-list celebrities. Forget the £20,000-a-month celebrities spend at The Priory in Surrey, or the £41,700 they shell out for 45 days at the Meadows in Arizona - a five-week residential rehab here costs a whopping £315,000 - about ten times the average UK annual salary.
Staying at a lakeside villa in Zurich with 24/7 limousine transportation, a personal chef, a butler and a concierge, clients have access to a five-star hotel spa and a live-in therapist (who sleeps in the spare room). Activities include tennis, yoga, martial arts, weightlifting, massage and more.
We sent writer and model Sydney Lima there to see if it could help her kick her partying lifestyle. But while she was there, she uncovered a strange, unexpected world.
In the next report from High Society, we investigate how deadly synthetic drugs made by Russian darknet cartels are spreading through Tbilisi’s world-famous nightlife scene.

@Loyal Royalty who the hell is addicted to opium these days? Do you mean opioids?
Me I'm suffer 😭
77 hi
It’s so u don’t have anymore money for drugs.
Great business model lol
Steven Hickman it was a joke mate
@inglourious Basterd wat
@Steven Hickman when the money never runs out and you're an addict the only thing that stops you is death
@inglourious Basterd so when someone is addicted to injecting heroin and cocaine into themselves they shouldn't go to rehab if it helps people ?
The older I grow the more I start to realize that there's a lot of people out there getting paid a whole lot of money for doing a whole lot of nothing.
I figured this out when I worked in Fine Dining in the USA. The food was so expensive I made about 6000 a month in tips. All I was doing was talking to people and bringing them exceptionally expensive food. Was easy as hell and I was making more money than most people I knew. Also hearing stories from the people rich enough to afford that food, I also realized their jobs were really easy.
Rich and gullible, the prime target.
@@AtemiRaven tell me about their jobs
@@hawkeye171 Most of them were politicians and people in upper management of companies where all they really did was talk to people all day as a job and keep the reputation of their company looking good. They were rich enough they didn't do hardly any work themselves, they would hire people to do most of it for them. I think the only exception was guys who worked in tech. Lot of very rich software devs in the Seattle area.
True
As someone who was a severe drug addict for 25 years and went to a government funded rehabilitation centre to finally get clean i can tell you this expensive rehab is a complete and utter joke. Purely created to rinse rich idiots of their money.
How was your experience in that rehab?
Exactly !
@@irgendeinname9256 It was a shock at first but turned out to be the best thing i ever did. They didn't let me lounge around, get massages and sit in spars like those expensive rehabs. They challenge my thoughts and behaviours and helped me become self-aware. They challenged me.They basically broke me down and built me back up which was painful but worth it. I also got physically fit and learnt how ro socialise without being high as a kite. I would recommend government funded rehabs before the private / expensive ones any day of the week.
100%. This would make me want to shoot up MORE.
Tend to Agree. Why no one said “to get purpose in life go out feed others”??? It is that simple!! And use your fucking money to do some good considering you have been blessed with it !!!!! …. Those people of this place (the owners..) are rolling in cash and it shows by the way the guy is dressed…. The Bentley on top of that …. Just pathetic.
As a med peer and biochem student, I am utterly disappointed in this so-called rehab centre, most of the treatments are homeopathic and non-improving. They just take your money and give nothing. Actually, they can also worsen the condition by ignoring the patients need and over treating. The therapist disappointed me, the gold patch disappointed me, everything disappointed me.
The moment I saw the resonance test I was instantly suspicious of what this place is trying to achieve. Feels like they are selling pseudo science for rich idiots with too much money.
@@chilliewhk Exactly!
Seems like she could of paid for all these services by herself and stay home. This place is a major scam
this is not true
@@Fon09fon Why do you think so?
I feel like this is something black mirror would make an episode about. It’s giving me very much dystopian/horror vibes
This is exactly like the sanatorium from the movie "A Cure For Wellness" and strange enough this place is located somewhere in the Swiss Alps too, exactly like in the movie. Give it a watch if you haven't,yet.
At least in black mirror, the technology actually works.
Damn, this has potential for a good plot development.
@@Dfungcho its in zurich, the biggest swiss city not in the alps

Very black mirror vibes There's an unsettling tone about luxury
@@feelsunbreezetoo quiet n too clean i think it is
For that price I expected gorgeous calming gardens, not a flat.
With the money and thumbnail, I was expecting a calm resort in Maldives or something.
Team me too
Well it’s rehab, and staff along with their services are expensive.
@@moonlightstar2055 expensive ? Like millions per month ? :D
@@moonlightstar2055 🤣there's expensive, and there's a third of a million per month. So only billionaires deserve therapy?
Honestly its a smart business. Take advantage of highly successful addicts.
True. But you'd have to be the one shoveling BS...
@TheBlondie not all of them, trust me. But many. I would also hazard to say MOST have a very distorted sense of scale when it comes to what things cost. Taking limos or personal drivers somewhere instead of a taxi let's say.
@@ThePaoOfTooh Right a lot of them have no idea how much a loaf of bread cost.
Elijah Solomon they are celebrities and they are forced to go with limos and personal chauffeurs (instead of a simple taxi, or Uber, like us). Due to their notoriety, they cannot simply go around doing ordinary things, or they would constantly be harassed without a moment of peace.
@@betty7219 They go to these rehabs so they can be with people of the same class. Could you imagine an a-class celebrity going to a state run facility? Their not getting suckered out of 300k.
As a recovered addict, I think escapism is the leading cause for addiction. The lifestyle this rehab makes you follow treats you like a victim, or even a child, rather than equipping you for getting through each day sober. It's like they are replacing one drug for another, creating a dependecy for this place. You can see it with the person they interviewed who uses the rehab support regularly. All the pseudo science they use feeds into that dependecy further by making you feel like there's so much you don't know about yourself, when in reality they are making it up as they go along to create more of that mystic environment. This place is truly bizarre and I genuinely feel bad for people using it.
I love the 24 hour personal therapist who asks how you're feeling every 5 minutes 😂
Lol this feels like a set up for a weird horror film. A group of people with a weird fetish of psychoanalysing her and ultimately plotting to kill her as her final treatment.
That’s genius hold up-
sounds like the movie A Cure for Wellness
WRITE IT
@@michaelaallen773 omg I know! Haha
Like the movie Eli, but theres an adult they gonna kill
Its weird how calming voice can be so scary, theres like a thin line between creepy and calming

He looks like a bad man
‘no phone tonight’
'I can be daddy'
Therapist: "I think you should maybe stay away from things that don't really help you." Wow. Give that man a raise!
For fun I did a dry 30. And the 30 days was on Sunday but I didn’t wanna drink the night before work to break the streak. And now it’s Thursday night and watching this makes me want to keep going especially after Lewis said you have to give your brain opportunity to make different pathways.
Yes that actually hit hard for me when he said that 🙏
i think the "mommy/daddy" vibe of louis and the cook is the crux of the whole operation. the children of the ultra-rich are so often emotionally neglected by their parents, and self-medicate to ignore those mommy and daddy issues. so they come to paracelsus to deal with the self-medication and are greeted by the *extremely* archetypally perfect: the present father-figure and nurturing mother-figure. the hugs and tailored meals of the cook, the "if anytime in the night you need to talk, just come get me" thing with louis (and the fact that he asked her first and foremost about her relationship with her dad lol)... the testing is obviously bs, the spa is just a fancy spa, but the fake parents thing is genius.
Exactly
now you put it that way I want in. not this one thou this is too expensive I'm broke
This makes so much sense omg
As someone who grew up in (maybe not top 1% but top 10%) and fell into drugs because of neglect that’s exactly it tbh
It really is genius.
That personal therapist is probably the best job on the planet. He literally lives and eats luxury to ask how are you feeling every 5 minutes.
But his entire life is 'there' and he's on call 24/7....he can't be a relationship himself.....he can't travel....he's stuck there and at every beckon call of every client living there, even at 4 am if they need to talk.....
@@EP-qi8ed But he gets holidays also dont he
@@EP-qi8ed dudes probably making atleast 50k a month...nobody's forcing him to be there and he can quit if he wants.
@@EP-qi8ed just work there for a few years, until your contract is up (I doubt he's contracted to work for a decade but idk) and then once you're out you'll have enough money to catch back on anything you missed in life. Not to mention even if he wouldn't find another job that pays as much, I'm sure having "worked at the most expensive rehab place in the world" on your CV will act as a free ticket to many other secure therapist jobs with a pay above the average. (Even if frankly speaking from this video alone the man doesn't seem to be a top tier therapist at all lol) I'm a psych student and trust me if I had the chance to work there I wouldn't ever say no even if I know I would hate it after just a few months hahaha
I feel sad for him, I'm a therapist too, & its kinda unethical to have this kinda relationship with your client where you constantly see them 24/7, even rehab therapists who work on the perimeters are not around 24/7, they depart to thier homes by evening, sometimes some rehabs alternative with therapists so they don't feel overburdened. I wouldn't wanna see my client walking around all the time ffs, its disturbing for the client and myself, and therapists cannot completely be themselves around clients cause clients have always seen them as this put-together person & sometimes that image does more good in having them trust you, & share many things and placing that responsibility on you for them. So trust me when I say being a personal therapist is one of the hardest jobs in the world, having to contain yourself on this role, & always put together & placing others health and schedule & comfort on top of yours is super tiring. Its really unethical and unprofessional to be around like that, with no boundaries for your client.
From what I understood, the most important drive is anonymity. Having drug issues can really harm your whole organisation if it comes out to the public.
"We sent writer and model Sydney Lima there to see if it could help her kick her partying lifestyle. But while she was there, she uncovered a strange, unexpected world." - lol this sounds like the synopsis of a novel I'd read at the airport!
“I run a charity saving drowning fish" "Huh?" I can't stop laughing 😂😂
Sounds like he's making fun of her and the rest of his clients...
It's a known technique to analysis the patient response to meaningless speech and humor
It is so true though: "I run" this is true, he is the one who is responsible for the main part: therapy. "A charity" it is. What is money if your life is at risk. At that point any money for your life is a bargain. "Saving drowning fish", a fish is adapted to be in water, a person is adapted to be society, yet you are drowning. Or, if you like, here is another one. "I am running" he is highered, "a charity", 300k a month is no charity, "for drowning fish" with this much money you should be like a fish in the sea, but you are literally drowning in you own money, privilege and power. Sarcasm on every level. That guy is probably so proud of this quote.
Владимир Харченко or it was just a simple joke saying that he likes to fish.
me neither rofl
At my lowest point I charted a yacht from Cannes to Sardinia.... This guy has a different rock bottom than your average addict.
Yeah . 1 mans life goal and peak of experiencing life is this dudes rock bottom.. perspective is a funny thing
Or he’s lying
yeah... pretty rough stuff o.0
An existential low
Usually it’s robbing your family, having a NDE, being homeless, or selling your ass. Not for these folks!
I'm only a couple minutes in and I love Louis. He's soft spoken and gentle yet has jokes that only a dad would say. Charity for drowning fish? Sign me up! He also called himself daddy, which he has to know how that sounds. And he has to be even more bored than the clients. He's not allowed to leave and he can't have things like wine floating around to enjoy by himself. As for the treatment itself, yeah it's a lot of overkill, but some people need to have fancy "treatments" to make them feel like they are improving. It's like a placebo. True addicts though will benefit from this type of facility, because it removes you from your toxic lifestyle and forces you to spend time thinking about your past actions and how you want to correct them. Many addicts purposely go to rehab facilities in different countries (or states) just to get that physical change in surroundings to help push them in the right direction. She wasn't really ready to quit yet, or fully acknowledge her addiction, which is why she complained so much during her weekend there. Most people need at least a few weeks in rehab to even start to notice any changes.
I've been through countless rehabs, from the best, fully accredited, facilities to state funded cest holes. The bottom line is that if you don't really want to get off of drugs and/or alcohol, you're not going to. That usually doesn't happen until you hit some sort of "rock bottom". It's as low as you want it to be, but if these people are able to spend over a quarter million a month to go to rehab, they are likely nowhere even close. I don't wish what I, or many others, have gone through to finally decide that they are truly done, but I'm just being honest. I've been "trying" to quit for over 30 years and only have nearly 5 years of continuous sobriety at the time of making this comment. Spending that amount of money on rehab is insanity in it's own right.
Exactly. It doesn't matter if you go to a place like this that cost 300 grand or a free government clinic. You will only get clean if you are ready and willing and are 100 percent committed to getting clean. My family spent years trying to get me clean through multiple different therapies and treatments. Through all of them all I could think about was getting out and getting a fix immediately. It wasn't until I hit my own rock bottom, where I lost everything and accepted that I was going to die if I didn't stop, that I was able to even start the process of getting clean. Good luck my friend!
No offense but these places are also here for mental health. I don’t like this narrative of all these centers just being labeled “rehabs” for addicts .. They offer so many different things at these types of places. Addiction treatment in itself is bullshit. But that doesn’t mean every other form of “therapy” for *other problems* is also bullshit. That is when the price of a center actually comes into play because if you send someone to a sh*tty $200 “rehab” for sever anxiety, do you think they’re going to get the same out of it than if they were sent to a top facility in the world where they’re going to run test after test measuring everything in the patient to pin point the problem? I never understood why it bothers y’all so much If someone wants to waste *their money* to get the “best” mental health treatment for themselves. They’re the ones wasting their money on some BS not you. Addiction treatment only works if you’re willing to get clean - But that’s not how it works for all aspects of mental health therefore, these places are not useless ..
The therapist took one look at her and was like “you know what you have daddy issues”

Why Vice deleted my comment just because I said I felt so creeped when the old man said “ and I can be a bit like Daddy “
@Gods Bloody Hammer as a recovering substance user I can say that would make life alot more stressful. I would use it to by my mum a house and help others. That still doesn't deal with the root of the issue though, sure alot of addiction starts from a bad enviroment, but also mental illness, money doesn't fix mental illness.
@Gods Bloody Hammer are you dumb bruh
Respect to the cameraman as well for recognizing that she needed some time by herself with the therapist.
My acupuncturist gave me ear tacks and doing it weekly totally changed my alcohol cravings!!! I had tried rehab and none of the approaches worked. I know everyone is different. Now I’m doing ketamine to reset my depression and trauma and it’s helped so far (just did my first treatment).

The therapist is living the life, imagine having an entire penthouse given to you free of cost with a cook and housekeepers while hanging out with ultra-rich CEOs, celebrities, and world figures while getting to know them personally and deeply, all on top of a therapist's six-figure income.
And having to listen to all those narcissistic sociopaths (because a lot of successful business people are that) all the time? You have not seen how ultra-demanding the real clients are.
Do celebrities come there?

@@MrUnlimitedTorque Yeah, because the therapist pays for personnel and overhead lol

The CEO’s comment on how you’re never alone, I think that’s one line that stuck out to me. I can’t say from personal experience as none of my immediate family has been personally addicted to substances, but many of my family members have. With addiction, your support system is your family meaning those who care about what’s best for you. This is not to say your family should stop living their own lives and dedicate all their devotion to you, which is kinda what they are doing in the rehab facility. I think there are better ways of making the patient feel like they aren’t at home without setting them up for a future of codependency
Damn as a licensed therapist I would never ever live in with a client, no boundaries whatsoever. Totally unethical.
really? what about if you have a Borderline client? It's the abandonment anxiety they're squelching... or identifying. therapists hate to deal with narcissistic and Cluster B personality disorders. It's a lot of work... and a lot of transference... and the therapists has to have really handled their own dark shadow... it takes years. Old men make great therapists for this reason. still... many have no idea about alcoholism and drug addiction mimicking Narcissism... so... it's always gonna go back to childhood... and 'daddy.' Mommy, too.
I’ve been on therapy for years, and the establishment and respect of limits and bondaries are a major part of therapy. I can’t imagine living with my psychiatrist. In fact, I make a point of knowing as little about him as possible.
Why? You can get paid and sleep with your client. Win win
@@BANNEDFundedTrader are u a human?
@@luv2dancesalsa I would never live with my borderline client. Our long term goal is for her to be able to live independently. To achieve that we are working on her ability to live alone and to depend less on the people around her. Me living with her would only cause her to take steps back as she would fully rely on me and wouldn't learn anything. She would always be sheltered, never learn to face the situations that scare her. Therapy can at times be uncomfortable but it has to be or people would just be stuck.
This would make a fantastic psychological thriller
NOW THIS SUMMER...

I hope someone sees this cu s yes
Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd have a show coming out called The Shrink Next Door. It's a bit of a dark comedy and, by the looks of the trailer, the doctor may be trying to take advantage of the richer clients. Not 100% but the show looks amazing. The show has that "taking advantage of vulnerable people" vibe.
Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu.
I think while definitely skeptical. For someone that is facing serious alcohol and drug addiction it can provide a safe and comfortable zone where people have every minute planned out with structure and a support system to help them curb their usual bad habits and all the triggers of the world that force them into addiction

Oh man
I once had to go to hospital on holiday in the US and when they saw that I had great insurance coverage they were all over me like honey bees, wanting to take all sorts of tests etc. I was placed in a singular room with people attenting to me all the time although I wasn't in need of a bed at all. I could have done a doctors consultancy and left one hour later but I guess that would be less lucrative for them.
Never heard somebody walk into a rehab and say, “this is great, I love it”.

Terrifying lol
Feels like they overwhelm you with all this testing and tell you there are so many things wrong just to break you even further so you eventually see the process as beneficial. Almost like an addiction within itself.
I have the same impression that is the case.
but..how does that make someone see the process as beneficial?
@@sakuranovaryan9261 A breakdown in therapy is seen as a good thing because you're "finally addressing your emotions", but when it's CAUSED by the therapy itself, it's not good. However, therapists are gonna make you think it's beneficial so their methods aren't questioned and they get your money. That being said, therapy isn't always bad but sometimes that's the case
I’ve noticed that sometimes I use finding out what’s wrong with me, almost as another addiction / excuse to not move forward with my life. There’s a balance between fixing the problem and just overthinking things / self-flagellation. Tricky indeed!!
had the exact same thought. It looks like they just want your money. Really bad vibes from this place :S
I had bioresonance done to me when I was 18. At that time I was very allergic to a lot of things which caused skin irritations. I first thought it is some woodo type stuff, but after the therapy somehow I was cured and it for real changed my life.

Yah lets just judge the rest of the therapy sessions based on the minuscule effort they try to show you & that therapy cannot be worth that much. We put in a hell lot of effort to analyse your body language (thats a paid course and skill it doesn't come with the degree), have a one-on-one case history session, study your cognitive map and your behavior pattern from your past, research intensively which method could work for you, while also having to be constantly around you leaving our own mental health behind cause this is a job after all, spending countless other conversations with other specialists to see what would be the best for you in the session, designing your treatment plan and working with homeworks & spending so much money onto getting minimum 3 degrees and a doctorate, only to hear people with pre-conceived mentality like this talk about your profession.

After having the most out off body experience on psilocybin, I feel my outlook and plan for my life has changed. I got so much work done in my head in those 6 hours, I really wish it’s that easy to get them here in Texas, I'll be very glad
It’s super sad that we have to be so secretive about it. It’s part of Mother Earth. Not man-made like alcohol or meth.

@@parker2771 Where to contact him? Is it IG?
I’ve been microdosing for years now and it was truly helped me with my trauma. It’s helped with my anxiety, depression & PTSD. Always respect the drug & understand what you want to take from it.
The dietary aspect is actually very useful because addicts often slack on their diet. Teaching people to take their diet seriously and to spend time preparing food is a way to keep the mind occupied so that it’s less likely to wonder back into old habits.
He calmly said "I can be daddy" He jokingly but firmly said "No using the phone" ... lewiiii is a serial killer
I took my girlfriend to a spa that had the ice room and stone bath and all that stuff for Valentine’s Day. Got a groupon for like $35 😂
haha same here
THIS is sooo FASCINATING! Thank you for this
I’m addicted to KZhead video’s, which means I don’t have the money to rehab and go down in a spiral and getting more addicted
How do I donate money to the drowning fish charity? I’d also like to donate to burned fires and starving food.
hahhhh!
2 be fair they can sort of drown. Because fish still need oxygen. And if the water doesn't have any oxygen because chemicals or getting hotter the die
@@Zymonn You can sort of argue it but it doesnt meet the full definition of drowning, suffocation would be a more accurate word. Which makes me wonder if he was serious or joking.
@@ufc990 true,
Semantics
When this guy called himself daddy It took a turn A dark one
When did he say it?
Yeah and in his first season he whent real fast to asking if she had daddy issues.
Black Mirror vibes
english isn't his first language, he doesn't know what that word means lmao
@@yuh5960 I'm pretty sure it's one of his first languages
doing rough estimate for whole month: 200€ for therapist, 150€ massage and spa, 250 € stock up healthy foods, extra 150€ acupuncture, chiropractor or physio thereby. Exercise free in nature. totaling 750€ per month do all these things by yourself and not budget was all in with weekly sessions.
It makes me incredibly angry that people can accumulate so much wealth that they can afford to stay somewhere like paracelcius for the rest of their lives at $300k/mo, and there's people working extremely hard to just make ends meet to have a place to live, a vehicle to safely get. to places, and food that won't ultimately kill you from bad health.... How sad.
capitalism
Better than communism
The way he keeps asking how are you feeling. I feel damn uncomfortable. That calmness in his voice is scary.
His voice tells me he's a serial killer lol
Right! It’s creepy. And that odd turtle like smile.
The daddy line too, tf
This dude tryna do his job and some people on the internet who think they are criminal psychologists try to make him look like he hides bodies of young men in his basement.
Its just a part of his job
Is no one going to talk about how she looks like a mix between Margot Robbie and Anne Hathaway?!?
I was thinking she looks a lot like Samara Weaving!
i appreciate this comment
nobody cares
Bioman Smith lmao
She also looks similar to maeve from sex education
The concept is to make the ultra rich feel special and centre of attention. Usually addiction starts from being lonely on the inside and since they know people are always there for them and testing them all the time they feel good about it. Very good strategy
"I've got a charity for saving drowning fish" I spent 5 mins analyzing this statement: * Is this an overt admittance that Louis is a swindler (who would actually donate to save drowning fish?) * Is Louis' classification of "fish" just not conventional? (E.g. is he talking about whales, and/or dolphins as well) * Is it a charity for saving fish whose gills are often clogged from plastic waste? . . Ps: Yes I'm autistic.
Man I wish my lowest point could be throwing up on a yacht
Sure. With weird gold digger people tweaking all around you. Having staff looking at you with an anxious gaze. Looking up in the sky and seeing demons. Anxiety overwhelming and you start questioning reality. Who knows? I can see how it made him change his life.
@LosN Found you're right, that's why everyone spends their life trying so hard to get poor. I get that everyone's version of hell is subjective but the same way most rich cannot empathize with the poor, the poor have even more trouble empathizing with the rich. And there's more of us, so we win, nanny nanny boo boo.
@LosN Found thats a really really small group of people that can "make the world bow at a snap of a finger". Being rich and addicted or Being equally addicted but in poverty? Poverty is worse. Money isnt the most important thing but it sure does help. You'd be delusional if you think otherwise.
😂
his lowest point sounds like more fun than most stuff I've ever done lol
The former patient realized he hit rock bottom when he didn't recognize anyone on his yacht after a night of partying... LoL The 1% are truly unrelatable to the rest of us.
@@veritas8598 I'm sure a little pee would come out within 2mins...
Exactly
plot twist: he didn't recognized anyone because he was drunk
Your missing the point entirely but ok
Anyone can go from the 99% to the 1% with a purpose, hard work and dedication. This being said, we are ALL human beings, and circumstances should not invalidate someone’s feelings.
The spa with the stone massage looks really nice. The rest of it would freak me out.
I wish allergy tests were that easy. I have been tentatively diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity (a debated diagnosis in itself) because I get reactions to so many unusual things. If there was something like that with more accurate medical treatment that would help people like me with multiple chronic illnesses and health conditions, I feel like that may be worth it. Then again, buying a house, or getting a month or two of treatment...
Gold is innate. It literally doesn't react with anything. This looks like it's all just a rich form of placebo.
yes its basically is
Agree
Psuedo science I believe is the term. 99% woo.
inert you mean?
As a nurse, all this is bullshit.
for 370K a month... i better leave with that Bentley at the end of my treatment
Andy M. I could buy a lot with 370k lol, I wouldn’t care about rehab anymore when I got a brand new car.
I could find you a cheaper Bentley 😂
Scary, scarier than being addicted
"I've got a charity for saving drowning fish." A moment of silence, then, "Huh?" That was perfect.
"You are allergic against salmon" "I just had salmon"
yeah because bioresonace is a big alt health scam
I've heard it's possible to have mild allergies to foods without you really noticing the effects, I might be wrong though. But the way it was tested was iffy...
Okay so twice a month I always had diarrhoea and a bad day, and then bioresonance showed i had an intolerance for gluten. I still eat gluten sometimes but i cut 90% of what I used to have and I feel good now also my acne is fully gone. I thought bioresonance was bs before, but it worked for me.
@@eyesburningup placebo effect, your not allergic to glutten at all stop giving cash to pseudo science
rainy days in august so I fought 20 years to end my acne, I atopped gluten and because it is a placebo my skin stopped having acne? I don’t follow
I'm pretty sure there's other cult options that are a lot cheaper. Plus they always have free punch.
Yep
They have AA & NA meetings in about 1/10th of the churches in the US....so you're right. It's super easy to find a cult that'll pretend to help you get off drugs/drinking....

Looks like the movie " A cure for wellness" . In that movie, a executive goes to a similar wellness place in Switzerland to bring back another retired executive but things turn about extremely ugly. The secrets of the facility are unveiled slowly in the movie.
This looks like a horror movie, all the people working in there give me chills 😨
The Male therapist is creepy
most psychiatrists and psychologists are people to be avoided
Most of the people working there are incredibly creepy and are full of sht
Exactly, me too
The movie is called The Cure for Wellness
This voice of the man is so creepy yet so relaxing kinda.
Which one? Mark it please.

Really nice piece
As someone who's been to an average quality rehab twice, this is totally not completely representative of most of them. It is not meant to be a "fun" experience, 14 hours of the day you are working on yourself in various ways doing all sorts of therapy sessions, work sheets, readings, exercises, chores etc.. Your phone is taken away and you have no access to the outside world. This is all while experience residual drug/alcohol withdrawal which makes you feel depressed, anxious, and irritable. Maybe you get 90 minutes of free time per day to play board games and read some books, and on saturdays you get to watch one movie but that's it. That said, rehab is an extremely useful resource. Separating yourself from your current environment, and making sobriety your full time job for 1-6 months can be extremely helpful. As long as you want to get sober, do your research, and choose a reputable rehab in cities with big recovery communities, you shouldn't feel discouraged. Just going to AA meetings alone is not enough for many people.
The longer I watched this, the creepier it got. I would NEVER live with one of my therapy patients. That is beyond unprofessional & unethical. I can't see ANYONE feeling comfortable living & dining with their therapist.
I understand how it could be deemed unprofessional. But unethical? How?
@@lj7169 It's unethical for a therapist to build any other relationship with their client outside the therapy because there must always be a line separating their personal lives, otherwise it messes up the therapy and possibly much more than that, depending on the outcome.
@@smags1100 Of course they’re still in business. It’s a spa hotel with added Goop woo, for people with too much money. You go there, you have a nice time and even if the live-in therapist gets on your tits, you can leave the next week and go back to whatever you were doing before, i.e: partying and sniffing coke all night. Rinse and repeat.
Right. Because an 18 minute VICE video is gives you all the understanding you need.
Your username is also bit of an anagram.
My mother was an alcoholic and went to rehab a total of 5 times over 5 years, all about 30,000 a month in Sonoma. I hated it. I felt like she got to go on vacation while we all struggled on. She would go, live in luxury for a month, and then come home and relapse harder every time. At the end of the day, if you want to get sober; you go to AA as often as you can. You take it seriously, you dont run away from your life, you make sobriety a part of your daily life.
Your mom was in REHAB getting her treatment and you were mad because you were struggling?
You say "rehab" like it's a hardship, like it's a struggle. She went to a beautiful facility in wine country where she didn't have to cook, clean, run errands, or go to work. She had her own beautiful room. Her days consisted of yoga, therapy, massages, hiking, acupuncture, lounging by the pool, watching movies, and eating three high grade meals everyday. So yes, I was mad that she went to "rehab". I was mad that she got a vacation. And EVERYTIME she would come home and relapse within a month; harder and harder each time. I LOVE my mother, she is a GREAT woman, but rehab is a joke that does nothing but cause damage for the entire family structure.
Rehab is pointless unless the person wants to stop. I'm living proof. I've been sober 6 years. I did multiple short and long-term rehabs and relapsed for a decade before stopping. I went to a very low-budget (in the projects of a small town) sober living rehab for a year and that worked, because I WANTED TO STOP. A luxury rehab would not have done any better of a job in my commitment to sobriety. And if AA works for you, great. It was not part if my sobriety and it is NOT the only way to get sober. Rehab is there because families and loved ones, tortured by the helplessness they feel in watching a loved one slowly kill themselves, are desperate for some tangible thing they can do to "make them stop". It's futile. It's only "making them pause". If they don't want to stop, it"s 99.99% ineffective
@@nickyalexa7744 many rehabs say that all that stuff is available but then you get there and are just in shitty group meetings sitting in uncomfortable chairs for 12 hours straight a day
Eh, AA certainly doesn't work for everyone. AA and NA didn't work for me and for many other people. Many people need MAT and therapy. Also you need to want to get sober for rehab to work. But anyway, I'm sorry you had to go through that. My dad's an alcoholic, I know how hard it is.
Loved the luxury problems art work
One thing I can tell based on my experience is that very less of them who go through these rehabilitation will stay clean ...it's all to comfy ..in order to be in recovery you'll have to face hardships
My mother was an RN for an eye specialist. As a child I used to “pop my eyes in” because it made me see sparkles. My mom would scold, yell and tell me it was going to ruin my vision. How? Stretching your retina. Overtime it can cause retinal stretching or worse, detachment. Instantly blind until corrected w surgery. At 19 yrs old, I worked at a developmentally disabled facility with physically violent consumers. I was punched in the face. I instantly had a large black spot obstructing my vision. Yup. Retinal detachment. All those childhood years of seeing sparkles aided in weakening my retina. I cringed watching her pop her eyeballs in her sockets. I would definitely say it does NOTHING to “reset your nervous system”. 🙄
Can you get them reattached? I have lots of little small black spots but lockdown closed all the opticians!
@@SnowofLight that could be cataracts, they also cause black spots in vision. Even if you're young, you could have been born with them and only now they're bigger and causing problems. (congenital cataracts, I have them as well) Definitely do to a doctor and try to get medical attention, the sooner the better!
Snow Chan It sounds like you’re talking about the little black spots that are literally called “floaters”. They float around and get in the way of your vision. Blinking can cause them to move out of the way ... or in the way. Annoying as all hell. They’re normal and progress w age.. Some people have more than others. Retinal detachment causes blindness. The inability to see through the affected eye. IT HURTS. Yes, it can and has to be reattached in order to see again. Mine wasn’t completely detached, it was stretched. ( kind of like the difference between a pulled ligament and a torn ligament) I had to wear an eyepatch to allow it to heal. I’m NOT an eye specialist. I’m a biologist and was a medic. My mom worked for eye specialist. I know a bit, but I’m not an expert. If you’re having serious difficulty seeing, Id keep trying the eye doc. Unless it was an injury that caused your spots, I doubt they will consider it emergent, however, Good luck, hon!
@@natalierozean5989 hey I'm a really good looking guy, I promise....I know you can't see me but I'm movie star handsome! Just kidding, I used to do the same thing as you as a child and I thought I was the only one! Why was it such a rush and why did it feel sooo compulsively good and satisfying in the same vein as smelling gasoline or cracking your knuckles, but even bettter?!? Thank you for helping me feel a bit less odd and I pray your vision gets fixed!

When it got to the "allegies" part, I was like how is this not a scam. She literally said the is something behind the computer that's making it work. Very Scientific.
I'm I the only one that got Nazi scientist vibes from the woman that gave her the gold sticker?
🤣
she was just talking about the cable that connects the pc and the machine ^^ got lost in translation pretty hard
yeah...and they said she was allergic to salmon and herring but she said she loves herring which means she eats it. But she never said she had a reaction to it. I call BS
It’s a scam. It’s not possible to heal allergies with a gold sticker. I guess it’s easier when you first make them up. And if you’re allergic to salmon you’re naturally also allergic to herring. She was also supposedly pulling up her chromosomes on the screen which is totally bs. The analysis would take many hours and produce more than a terabyte of data.
My vast fortunes are poisoning me. Expensive rehab center: I can help you with that.
I just love the name "High Society". Could be some dope ass magazine or something.
