On the anti- nausea techniques-- I don't know if they still do, but airline attendants used to be taught to open a bag of coffee grounds for the customer suffering from air sickness to smell. It really does help with mild nausea - at least some types of nausea. I also found out later that coffee beans are used at quality perfume counters. When you've smelled a perfume, it will affect how you perceive the next perfume you smell. Smelling the coffee beans clears the "palate" so to speak.

[@abbyscaletta5383]

Interesting. Not a doctor, but I’m surprised by that because when I was pregnant, the smell of coffee made me more nauseous than most other foods! Different kinds of nausea for different people though.

Coffee - or Espresso beans are for headaches, that's why they are kept behind beauty counters to prevent you from over smelling perfumes, it would be difficult to use to help nausea as it's been proven to make people more nauseous by hyper stimulation.

Thank you for correcting the Adderal statement, and thank you for recognizing that thoes of us who really need have to deal with a lot of things mostly being looked at like a seeker 😐 I hate that. I have moved a lot during my life due to financial and health reasons and having to find new doctors is REALLY frustrating.

[@Kimmmxo]

So true. Every time I’ve moved and have had to establish a new relationship with a new doctor, it’s been incredibly difficult. I’ve had one doctor tell me he was not going to continue the treatment plan I had been on for the 5 years before I saw him and if he did, he’d lower the dose of my extended release pills to the lowest it goes. My diagnostic paperwork and previous doctor’s statement wasn’t enough. He finally stopped giving me a hard time when I brought in my 12 page neuropsychological diagnostic paperwork and by then I requested another doctor. It’s not all his fault, I understand his side also, he was just so condescending about the whole thing, I left the office in tears. I feel you ❤️❤️

[@catewright1575]

100% agree!! I suspected i had adhd before i was officially diagnosed, i kept saying i need adderall but everyone just shrugged it off. When i said the same thing to my dr, she gave me other meds and never tested me. So i still wasn't truly heard just pacified. It wasn't until she left and i had to go to the PA that the ball got rolling. Though when i finally got adderall, i found out i was part of the 6% that (as a side effect) falls asleep. I think i found the right adhd meds now but it was a pain.

[@erinpufunt]

YES

[@cinnamoslut]

@@catewright1575 So instead of asking to be tested for ADHD, you said, 'I need Adderall,' to your doctors instead? I hope this doesn't sound rude, it's not my intention. But it's not surprising you were having trouble getting what you wanted from your doctors. Saying 'I need [controlled substance]' to medical professionals instead of something like, 'Hey, I think I might have [medical condition] and here's why,' and then letting the doctor diagnose and come up with a treatment plan, is a bad idea. When I doctor has a patient saying I need this controlled substance, to them, that's a red flag for drug seeking and for good reason. Not saying you're a drug seeker. I'm glad you finally got help. I have ADHD too, and narcolepsy, so stimulants are pretty essential for me to be able to function and live a normal healthy life. I get it. I've also been labeled a drug seeker in the past, which sucks, believe me, so I want to help people understand what comes across as drug seeking to doctors.

I appreciate your clarification on Adderall. I get annoyed with people calling it meth and saying that makes it bad. As if all drugs aren’t just chemicals that shouldn’t be taken unless you actually need them. Radiation is also dangerous and that doesn’t stop them from using it to _treat cancer._ Although it is funny that I have to take a drug test and I’ll get in trouble if I DON’T have amphetamines in my system lol

[@dr.floridamanphd]

I used to work in a psych ward as a nurse. One of the psychiatrists was going over the notes and saw that a patient wasn’t responding the way he should’ve been so he put him on a UA to check his levels. The patient was trying to get his seroquel dose increased from 600mg to 800mg a day. Turned out he was cheeking his pills and planned to sell them at the homeless shelter he stayed out. He also wanted the increase in dose so he could have fresh pills when he left to make more money off of them. For those that are unfamiliar with seroquel, in low doses it can work as an anti-anxiety or mood stabilizer. But in a high dose, such as 200mg, it’s an antipsychotic and you’ll end up getting stoned out of your head.

[@emordnilap4747]

It's sad that people still have that attitude today. It's so well proven the different effects this kind of drugs have on those that need them. I was misdiagnosed with ADD as a child, when I actually had childhood depression, anxiety, and autism. It was hell being put on meds for ADD. But I've seen how much it can help people who do have ADD/ADHD. I think of it like morphine, you shouldn't take it, if you don't need it, but most people aren't going to tell someone in post op 'Morphine is bad for you, so you're going to have to go without anything for the pain.'

Alcohol for nausea DEFINATELY works. At least, for me. I had to do an MRI and by the time I got out, I told the tech "I need a bag, I'm about to puke". She ripped open an alcohol swab, told me to inhale as she held it to my nose, and the nausea went away nearly instantly. I was shocked honestly.

[@jellybeanboy]

People should always try to be polite, we are all human and make mistakes. I previously was on Mentour Pilot and replied to a comment that he only liked comments praising himself and that he was arrogant. I replied that he didn't check comments personally. He is on another social media site and when I asked something there I was told that Mentour doesn't monitor the site and that the person replying does it for him. I made a wrong assumption that he did the same on youtube. But I also added as proof that Mentour never answers questions that people post (unlike Gear74 who does and has answered several of my comments). Mentour was angry to imply he didn't check his youtube posts. Period. After that I got a deluge of angry response from Mentour lovers that I had to delete the comment and leave his channel. (And he never addressed other issues that I raised). It is nice to see Dr. Mike's professionalism and humility that if he makes a mistake he admits.

Really respect you making videos about mistakes. As a nurse, though to a lesser degree, we face a similar expectation of perfection. Which is understandable. You want to feel like the people taking care of you won't mess up. But in reality, everyone makes mistakes. A significant part of what makes a good healthcare worker, or just good person in general, is being able to admit to your mistakes humbly. We obviously only know you through your videos, but you seem like a pretty rad dude who just wants to help people! Also, Ian is a monster for taking those hits over and over.

[@dirangosoly2211]

8:05 I did this but not for any infection. When my son was 3mos old, I suddenly started lactating, but he was already put on a particular formula because he was having trouble with the basic stuff. I was afraid to breast feed him to upset his digestion all over again, and I read an article from some "health" site that mentioned using green cabbage leaves. It did specify that it shouldn't be used on open wounds or cracked skin, and to use a rolling pin to open the veins in the cabbage. I used up about six large leaves and I was dried up that day. I used to also wrap my husband's foot in them when his gout was causing him pain. I remembered the site about my milk-jugs and it mentioned that cabbage was also good for inflammation, so I figured why not, wrapped his foot in a couple of cold leaves, and he said it worked better than cold compress. I always kept a cabbage in the fridge until he got his gout under control, and when I ran out of green leaves on the head, I'd just eat it and add a new one to the grocery list. I'm not big on homeopathic stuff, but I do prefer it when it's a fast fix (or at least let's me chill until I can get to a doctor) and as an alternative to taking too much medicine. My husband was going through a bottle of 90 Ibuprofen in a week so cabbage seemed less dangerous.

They did the same for me post-contrast on a CT, and it worked for a few seconds, but then I got very nauseous and began heaving. But like Dr Mike said, it takes 30 minutes to go into effect.

My theories on the bright light and sneeze thing are: looking at a bright light causes your eyes to tear up and the tears building up very suddenly irritate something and cause the sneeze; the other one - looking at a bright light causes you to squint very tight and that iritates and cause the sneeze. Or more likely the both of these effects combined.

[@oliviarecommends]

According to 23 and Me, there is a genetic basis for it, and they are right in that whatever basis it is, I don't have it.

[@elisabetk2595]

We called those "movie sneezes" when I was a kid. If you stand near a movie theater with south-facing doors when a matinee lets out you will see why that is. I suspect too that it's from squinting giving a little tug to the nasal passages.

[@kbadertscher06]

I sneeze everytime I see bright sun, whether I walk out of a building or the sun appears while I'm driving. It's also called ACHOO syndrome and is genetic.

[@toshamccarty5115]

I recently learned that astigmatism ( less than smooth/even(?) surfaces of the eyeball and how light hits it and enters it) is often associated with squinting. Perhaps those that sneeze when they look directly at a bright light have some degree of astigmatism to one or both of their eyes.

[@TheEwuplanner]

i think it is an inborn reflex that has was beneficial to human birth... think of a child being born and going from a dark area to one with light... for newborns where that triggered a genetic reflex to sneeze and discharge mucas (which could be negatively affecting their ability to breat)... they would have had better survival rates and if it was a genetic trait it would pass on more since it was useful (not as important today as doctors have medical tools to suction out a newborns nose/mouth).

[@TarotMom86]

when I was in the hospital once, i had to have assistance walking to the bathroom. when I got up i started feeling faint and nauseous. The nurse took an alcohol pad out of her pocket, ripped the packet open, and said "here, smell this." I was SOOO confused because I had no clue what she was doing. Turns out, it really helped with the nausea and I was feeling less woozy. She said in all her years of nursing she had no concrete understanding of why it worked, but other medical professionals shared their experience with it so she adopted the method as well to use with her own patients. Now, she keeps them in her pocket at all times just in case. As for the cabbage, I never used it myself because I was repulsed by the idea of putting cabbage in my bra (lol) but many breastfeeding moms suggested it as a way to help relieve pain or discomfort if they got mastitis, or were simply engorged (which for the unknowing, is quite painful sometimes). They DON'T cure the issue at hand, but can help offer some relief during treatment.

as someone with trypophobia, i personally think it's something evolutionary some people kept, from what u might ask, insects, more specifically bees, wasps and hornets. i think it serves as a kind of warning sign for the brain to be aware of the holes bc it might be a nest of aggresive bugs that could kill u, also small correction, it's not rlly a fear for most but just a strong disgust or discomfort. for the tumbnail that was shown, that stuff makes my skin crawl bc to my brain it registers as like an insect that has laid eggs in ur skin

I’m so glad you mentioned the cabbage leaf! It is so often recommended for breast engorgement, tenderness and blocked ducts during breastfeeding. I’ve used it myself! But I think it’s also important to mention that if you actually have infected mastitis that putting cabbage leaf on it (like the original post recommended) is useless and that you should see a dr because it is extremely, extremely painful and can very quickly progress to a breast abscess that needs to be surgically drained, and often IV antibiotics need to be given. Obviously no one wants to be that sick or hospitalised, but especially not when you’re also caring for and feeding a baby!

I'm a breastfeeding momma who has breastfed now for almost 8 years (4 kids) and I completely stand by using cabbage leaves to help discomfort in the breast. I have never used it to clear mastitis(never had it), but it does help immensely when used during the time when milk comes in after the baby is born and engorgement is there. I do, agree, that a cold press will also help. The cabbage leave just forms easily to the breast curves.
