Doctor Reacts To Absurd Facebook Health Posts Ep. 2

Last summer I reacted to some bizarre health posts I’d found on Facebook. I logged back in to see if I could fact-check any more posts that seemed to be spreading like wildfire. Well wouldn’t you know it didn’t take me long to find some dangerously misleading or downright ridiculous health “tips”. I had to fact check things like using onions to cure the cold, baking soda to remove grease from your hair, drinking cow’s urine to fight COVID-19, putting cabbage in your bra to battle mastitis, using toothpaste as a skin cream, and the proper way to hold your phone, drive, and wear your backpack to school.
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

As someone with scoliosis, I'm really glad you made the point of not wearing one strap on one shoulder. If you have scoliosis and you wear a backpack by only one strap, that can cause uneven weight, worsen your curve, and even give you back and shoulder pain. One piece of advice I have (if you go to school) is to wear a backpack to school and not have a tote bag. If the school doesn't allow backpacks, ask the principal or an administrator for permission, and maybe get a note from your doctor, just in case.

[@angellittle1571]

YES. I had a doctor's note for a rolling backpack I could take to class, and always had a key to use the elevators. Not scoliosis, but other chronic bs that started nasty with puberty. My back and knees in particular were the worst. Plus a backpack is only supposed to be 1/10th your body weight, at most 2/10ths (10-20%). I was light enough that just a couple of textbooks passed that, so between not being able to take the stairs and needing to be easy on my body, rolling backpack was the best. Plus it's hard to accidentally leave stuff in your locker when you can essentially bring it with you.

My former stepmother actually used the baking soda hack on my hair when it got unbelievably greasy, and it did wonders, though baking soda is quite harsh on your hair, so if it's only slightly greasy, follow Dr. Mike's advice on this one.

[@lorettajackson8759]

Hello. I started doing "no poo" (short for no shampoo) on my hair several years ago, and wish I had started sooner. Baking soda is the "shampoo ", and vinegar is the "conditioner". It works through chemistry and water temp (hot to wash, cold to finish). The Baking soda can be harsh if used dry, so now I only use it after it has been activated in hot water. It will fizz and turn clear, when done properly. It creates a somewhat slippery liquid that washes my hair pretty well.

Dr. Mike! Cabbage does dry up milk supply for when you’re done breastfeeding! I worked as a social worker for pregnant women in poverty and this was something our lactation consultants often helped them with. The post is misleading though because it could dry up their supply rather than unclog or whatever and that could be bad!! 🙄

[@zknight4481]

The cabbage thing really does work. It also dries up your milk, though. A lot of women use it when they’re ready to stop lactating and it works oddly fast. It just isn’t a great idea if you just have mastitis and want to keep nursing because then you have to fight to get your milk supply back.

As a person with eczema, the video at 7:09 infuriated me because I’ve been suffering with eczema for 6+ years. I’ve been putting all types of medications and oils and things like that, and they might help, but the eczema never goes away. So simply putting some milk and oats DOESN’T work. It infuriates me. I bet other people with eczema can relate. And it’s not only eczema. People post these absurd and inaccurate advice about curing a disease or a problem. But they don’t think about the people who are suffering with those diseases and problems. They are suffering with them, trying to get through it, and then there’s people posting these stupid videos. Alright I’m done with my vent. But one last thing: Thank you, Dr. Mike, for explaining why these videos are FALSE and giving other ways to cure medical problems that people have.

A migraine specialist physiotherapist in Australia told me a good trick to hold your phone. Have an empty arm sort of rest around your rib cage at the front (elbow bent 90°), and then make a fist to make a pocket. And then rest your elbow of the arm that's holding the phone sit on the fist. This helps it easier to rest your arm and keep it steady, and your phone will he up closer to your eye level. I try to do this everytime and it helps me not to look down.

[@martinajurickova5750]

The idea behind the toothpaste is that it should dry your skin, similar to face masks or peelings. Maybe helpful to people with oily skin. I also heard that egg white has the same effect. I would be afraid that the toothpaste can be too aggressive, especially when many of them contain unnecessary additional mint, which can really cold burn your skin.

At some point, he burped, and seemingly the burp smelled entirely like a fart - no idea if there's any connection at all, or what could cause a burp smelling like a fart, but my brain just remembered that story when i saw this

I'm a nurse and they actually did teach us about the cabbage trick in my maternal/peds class. Its a thing. But they did not say why specifically cabbage.

[@SandrA-hr5zk]

Probably an old remedy before plastics were invented. But I could imagine it has a little bit to do with shape, the waxy texture that keeps it dry, and high moisture content to retain the coolness.

[@miriam127]

Its really good when you have too much milk and its hurts like hell. I thing that it's a start of an inflation or a clogged duct

[@rachaylifuchs]

I dont know the medical stuff behind it but as a mom who nursed 4 kids and had many clogged milk ducks cabbage is a life saver!!!!! It somehow loosens the milk ducts and the milk just flows out, the cabbage comes out wet!!!!! It really works

[@sophietrepmuh6985]

I heard it has to to with the specific ingredients of members of the cabbage family, mustard is also part of that family and it is thought to help with inflammation. But still don't use just the cabbage! Medicine and some old knowledge don't have to be enemies!

Note: Mastitis is NOT an infection of the nipple. It can *involve* the nipple, but Mastitis is an infection of the milk ducts in the breast, and is most common when baby has a poor latch and thus does not fully empty the ducts, or the duct gets blocked and clogged some other way. It is a bacterial infection common during the first 3 months of breast feeding, but most common when mom's milk comes in and the breasts become engorged. Having experienced mastitis multiple times in both breasts with both of my kids, I will swear by the cabbage leaf. I tried warm and cool compresses, lying stomach down in a hot bath and massaging the duct in order to hand express the infected milk in the blocked duct, as well as OTC NSAIDS, there is something about the cabbage leaf (someone really needs to do a research study into this) that goes beyond "it's cold, it helps", as the cabbage leaf would continue to promote pain relief even after it becomes warm. Bonus, the cabbage leaf is the same design as a breast, and fits around it perfectly without getting clothes all wet with condensation, and is surreptitious enough to wear in your bra even if you have to leave the house. Was the cabbage leaves individually and well, and you've got no worries about infection transferring in.

3:30 - substances And the _one_ sensible thing in the frozen-cabbage-leaf-on-your-breast tip is: if it was frozen, the cell structure is broken up so any helpful chemicals in the leaf can at least make it onto the skin. Which wouldn't happen with a leaf you just pulled off the plant.

[@jenchan4817]

Worked for me. It’s not some weird magical thinking thing, it just logical. The leaves are thick and full of water, so they stay cold for a nice long time. The leaves are perfectly boob shaped, I can’t think of another vegetable that produces quite as perfectly bra cup shaped leaves. The texture of them doesn’t stick to any raw skin. Obviously, they are nontoxic, so you don’t have to worry if the baby gets a little cabbage juice left behind on your boob. You can use room temperature ones to help with clogged ducts by keeping in the warm moisture after a shower.

But baking soda really helps because it absorbs the oils and helps your hair not look so bad. You don’t always have time for a shower so it is actually a good tip.

[@RoyalReyna]

@@annemargaretbridges792 Washing your hair everyday is pretty bad for your hair, so using dry shampoo is really helpful for a lot of people. I know some people use baby powder, I personally hate the smell, and I've heard of people using corn starch to absorb some of the excess oils so their hair seems fresher and less greasy. Its less chemicals and cheaper than using a dry shampoo, and definitely more convenient than washing your hair everyday.

[@tatewakinew]

@@RoyalReyna Washing your hair everyday is bad for your hair only if you have problematic hair or head skin to start with.

[@RoyalReyna]

@@tatewakinew No, washing your hair strips it of the natural oils, which makes your scalp compensate by producing more oils. So you create a never ending cycle of wanting to wash your hair every day because it's oily, and it's oily because you wash it every day. Most people don't need to wash their hair everyday. Using a dry shampoo can help you start washing it less without it feeling gross.

I call BS on his scoliosis claim. I have scoliosis and have done a lot of reading and have always heard that posture and backpacks don’t cause scoliosis. (More often bad posture is caused by scoliosis and the person trying to stay comfortable.) Backpacks can exacerbate it, but does not cause it. I realize I’m not a doctor but either those studies are hidden in a secret vault for doctors only, or it’s not true.

[@catarinasilva1727]

suitcases can only cause postural scoliosis that is completely treatable with physical therapy and stretches. Most scoliosis are structural and the cause of its appearance cannot be known but it is a malformation that is not caused by backpacks. I have scoliosis and I had to have scoliosis surgery. My doctor says it's not my fault and I have to say I was always the person with the best posture in the room!
