Who are the prominent promoters of med‑bed narratives and what are their documented claims?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Med‑bed narratives are promoted by a mix of small companies selling “life force” devices, prolific social‑media personalities tied to QAnon and wellness subcultures, and occasional amplification from high‑profile political figures or AI‑generated posts; their public claims range from miracle cures and limb regeneration to secret military or alien origins and promises of future mass rollout [1] [2] [3] [4]. Reporting shows a recurring pattern: entrepreneurial outfits market med‑bed experiences or accessories with scientific‑sounding language while fringe influencers and conspiracy networks frame the technology as a suppressed panacea that elites or the “deep state” hoard [1] [2] [3] [5].
1. Corporate sellers that package mysticism as product
Companies such as Tesla BioHealing and Swiss firm 90.10 have been documented selling devices or “medbed” experiences—Tesla BioHealing marketed canisters it calls “biohealers” said to exude “life force energy/biophotons,” and 90.10 sold bed‑conversion devices claiming “quantum energy and frequencies” to “reprogram your DNA,” even as corporate disclaimers state the products are not approved medical treatments [2] [1] [3].
2. Prominent named operators and spokespeople
Seth Robinson, identified as a chiropractor and the medical director of Tesla BioHealing, has shown biohealer canisters beneath beds at a medbed center in Delaware, directly linking an individual to company promotional activity [2]. Oliver Schalke has been quoted as CEO of 90.10, telling reporters his product “was never intended” to be a medical device even where marketing invokes “quantumfrequency medicine” [3].
3. Influencers, recruiters and community leaders
Fringe wellness influencers and group organizers—exemplified in reporting by figures such as Kerrie‑Ann Thorton (also known online as Skye Prince)—operate Facebook groups and livestreams that recruit people to pay registration fees or join waitlists for med‑bed appointments, and are repeatedly named as central organizers in the online medbed ecosystem [6]. Many of these promoters use New‑Age vocabulary (frequencies, biophotons, quantum) to cloak claims in pseudo‑scientific legitimacy [2] [7].
4. QAnon, political actors and viral amplification
QAnon and adjacent far‑right communities helped seed and popularize med‑bed lore—portraying beds as secret military or alien technologies that can cure anything and that elites hoard—and those narratives were later amplified by social networks where believers expect a political figure (often former President Donald Trump in reporting) to “unveil” or make the technology widely available [1] [2] [3] [5]. In 2025, an AI‑generated video depicting Trump promoting med‑bed hospitals and “med bed cards” circulated and was shared and then deleted by the president on social media, illustrating how political amplification and synthetic media intersect with these claims [4] [8] [9].
5. The claim set: miraculous cures, secret origins, and consumer commodification
Across companies, influencers and conspiracy channels the documented claims include that med‑beds can cure all disease, reverse aging, regenerate limbs and restore “full health and strength,” that they employ technologies such as terahertz waves, ions, AI or “quantum” processes, and that they are currently in use by militaries or wealthy elites who suppress them from the public; simultaneously, commercial actors sell access, cards, canisters or overnight “medbed” stays—sometimes with disclaimers limiting medical claims—even as regulators have pushed back, including an FDA warning letter to Tesla BioHealing for misbranding [1] [2] [10] [3] [8].
6. How promoters mix profit, political hope and pseudoscience
The reporting reveals three overlapping incentives: commercial enterprises monetize demand by selling devices, cards and “center” stays while using scientific buzzwords to legitimize products [2] [3]; influencers exploit emotional hope among chronically ill or skeptical audiences by promising future relief or insider access [6] [5]; and political actors or their supporters can amplify and normalize the lore—often via synthetic media or reposted material—turning an entrepreneurial fringe market into a broader cultural story [4] [9].
7. Limits of the record and regulatory responses
While numerous outlets document sellers, spokespeople and viral promotion, reporting also emphasizes that no credible evidence exists that any med‑bed can perform the miraculous medical feats claimed and that some firms include disclaimers while regulators have intervened in specific cases; beyond those documented interventions and media profiles, available sources do not substantiate the extraordinary therapeutic claims themselves [1] [3] [8].
