No way! I need to know this soap hack NOW

Apparently, a bar of soap releases the mineral magnesium while you sleep, which believers say will relieve nocturnal leg cramping. And for those who suffer from RLS, Dr. Mehmet Oz of The Dr. Oz Show recommends leaving a bar of lavender soap under the sheets overnight. The relaxing scent of lavender can ease your symptoms, he claims

Any time I see Dr. Oz, I immediately disregard anything as snake oil. The man is a terrible human being...preying on the desperate so he can line his pockets with more cash. He was already a very successful surgeon making boatloads of money. How much of a greedy asshole can you be to then start lying to people to get more when you're already rich?

Yeah that’s why I copied the whole text. I was like ok why not then entered the wizard of BS

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Being a surgeon is hard work. Grifting is a lot easier and cushier.

Dr Oz

ah the universal symbol for "don't do this"

If the small amount of magnesium in soap can do that, just imagine what sprinkling magnesium powder all over your bed could do!

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i've replaced my mattress with a solid block of magnesium. It's cool in the summer.

and don't sweat.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Your bed change to a beach cos you’re so relax 😎

Travel agencies hate this one trick

[–] omega_x3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Better spray some water on your bed after the magnesium, you know to help it soak in.

It can even undo all the damage from smoking. So go ahead and do both at the same time

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

And if you huff a fat line of the mag, it'll reverse any drug damage to your body!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Or drinking it.

[–] Pandemanium@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

It would probably make you a lot less itchy than a bar of soap, too.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How does the soap knows that I'm sleep?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It knows when you've been bad or good, so be good, for goodness sakes!
