Saw a post once about medicinal plants that said something like "A lot of medicinal plants are just poisonous plants where the effect of the poison is the opposite of the symptom you're trying to cure." Foxglove, with its effects on the heart, is one good example.

[@ramboturkey1926]

thats medicine

[@isaacgraff8288]

Another big detail with poisonous/medicinal plants is dosage.

[@masterimbecile]

We still use digitalis today at the hospital, though it’s quite a dirty drug. The side effects are quite nasty and there are better protocols in place for people with arrhythmias and heart failure. Some older patients who’ve been on digitalis and tolerating it well enough we kinda just keep them on it.

[@thanhool]

Nightshade is used to make atropine which is in every ambulance today. The difference between poison and medicine is dosage.

[@dbseamz]

@@isaacgraff8288 absolutely!

[@V3RTIGO222]

Whoa, I personally take colchicine for an inflammatory autoimmune disorder, actually knowing the plant where it originated from is cool!

[@kend.3195]

Colchicine is also used to induce mutagens in plants for breeding new cultivars.

[@bigboss-tl2xr]

Hmmmm, it's also used as a genetic mutator. It will double the chromosomes in other plants.

[@Shane_O.5158]

you can look up more about the plant using the botanical name Colchicum Autumnale, it is used for gout, and in the plant industry to cause polyploid mutations by soaking seeds or even soaking growing buds.

"I actually own the petri dish that Flemming used to grow the first mold of penicillin [from which all pharmaceutical grade penicillin has been made ever after]. Jesus. I almost forgot he was a billionaire for a minute.

[@SF-li9kh]

Wasn't it gifted by Alexander Fleming to the Prince of England ? This was during his Nobel acceptance speech. It's shameful that Britain sold it to a private collector

[@PureNrGG]

This is amazing! But I'd like to share this fact about willow bark as a "natural painkiller". It may work, but one problem is that there is no good way to know the dosage of the chemical that actually helps, so it can be dangerous trying to self medicate with it regardless of it being "natural"

[@mateuszcielas3362]

im always shocked how people discovered that some plants can be beneficial, same as now when people invent new drugs and they pick up some random compound and say "hey, this might be useful"

[@darthplagueis13]

Well, these days there's usually a bit more behind developing new drugs. A lot of the time, it boils down to finding a compound that has a very simular chemical structure to some kind of biological messenger in the body which, depending on the specifics, can either block a receptor to prevent the body from having some kind of adverse behavior, or can actually trigger a receptor to signal part of the body to do something beneficial.

[@vishensivparsad]

Before sound science it was just painfully slow trial and error and realising hey when I eat this that happens

[@AGuyThatMakesStuff]

Trial and error. I bet they just ate boiled and crushed up random plants they found until one eventually worked and was passed down.

[@hugoboisclair5413]

There is this plant in costa rica, when you put the leaves in boiling water, it release something close to insulin (and becomes pink).

[@brandonbackes930]

I'd be interested in what this plant is called or a detailed description. Scetches and photos would be interesting as well.

[@tanberetO]

@@brandonbackes930 The scientific name the plant called insulina is Justicia secenda. It is found in many parts of Latin America.

[@moukidelmar]

People used to have a much closer relationship with plants than we do today. People walk right by useful plants and never even realize.

[@carlose4314]

I’ve been watching this channel from near the beginning. Great to see that you went from trying stuff in your backyard to having a show with Bill Gates.

[@jimjjewett]

The first sections seemed like an outtakes video of several pre-fire episodes -- including the backgrounds and maybe the cast. If that is a teaser/preview, then great. If it really is archival footage, please go ahead and release!

[@BenjiSun]

autumn crocus, their dried stigma and styles are more famously known as saffron.

[@davidmcgill1000]

Making saffron out of them would be worth a LOT more than medicine.

[@xDuhRell]

Really enjoyed this one. Well done!

[@tantamounted]

Since you asked for suggestions to add to your supplies, I'd suggest teatree oil, particularly from melaleuca alternifolia (apparently there are several plants called "teatree"). It's a plant in the citron family, and the oil is extracted from its leaves and stems. Some studies (some) suggest antiseptic properties (it's commonly used for that purpose), and it's popular enough that I can buy it at my local midwest-US grocery store pharmacy as an alternative remedy. Since teatree is notorious for causing pain in open wounds and mucous membranes, people used to think that the pain was what removed infection. That's not my own belief, but I have tried it myself, and I think this stuff has a lot of promise if folks could get research dollars onto it for further testing (I'm not sure if the FDA would approve an antiseptic that causes pain, but maybe there's a specific set of chemicals that can be extracted and synthesized). Alternative to teatree, some people believe that pine tar has similar effects, and you're more likely to find pine trees in the US and Canada; teatree is more of an Australia/New Zealand area product. That said, we could simply use triclosan (often found in antiseptic soaps and washes). It's effective, but it also breaks down slowly in the environment, which is nice for hospital walls, but not ideal in nature.

[@twalton]

Bill Gates was so lucky to get to meet you guys.

[@Tr1Hard777]

Native Americans also used to use mullein relax your lungs apparently.

[@bigboss-tl2xr]

Love the information and the interview. I used to help in a lab that studies the medicinal properties of Chinese Herbal medicine. There is also a separate peer reviewed medical field in the East that is soley dedicated to herbal medicine. I hope this video will lead people to have quick research in this topic.

[@brainlicker1]

Gates is too much of a political lightening rod for me to watch this video and enjoy. Still, so many other HTME vid to watch instead.

Agreed. He's arguably made the problem much worse too, so he's the last person I want 'expert advice' from.

Don’t listen to the people in the comments who are hating on this. This was a very interesting video. I typically don’t care much for history, but you have a great way of explaining history in an interesting way. The history of medicines was interesting. Having Bill on was cool, both for you guys, but also to help discuss some of the things that went wrong throughout the pandemic. As someone with a masters in bioengineering, who’s taken many classes on pathology, nothing he said about the pandemic was false. If even a single viewer saw this and changed their tune, it was worth it.

[@reinoflame]

its more that people are blinded by a fact that a mega rich individual can be a very well educated person in other fields without having a said degree in those subjects - like musk, gates and so on. also people are so caught up in the fact that hes rich and " not doing the world a solid by making things cheap or free " and neglect the fact that his foundation is pushing for a better medical future and most of it is not by him alone

[@shinyhydreigon7257]

@@reinoflame Musk and Gates are nothing alike. Gates spent his career building one of the most widely spread, and influential products of all time - Windows. Gates has spent years, as shown by his work with Malaria and his famous predication of the pandemic, researching, funding and advocating for the inevitable pandemic. Musk was born to filthy rich parents, creates - no - funds (or rather accepts billions in subsides for), products that are either too niche and expensive to be a positive impact on the world, or are downright negative (no he didn't invent paypal), of which are often built on the backs of 3rd world child labor.

@@mateuszcielas3362 science is when we collect anecdotal evidence. Oganize and replicate to demonstrate overall patterns and derive an underlying principle. Personal anecdotes are often science on a small scale, e.g. multiple options tested and the successful options grade on effectiveness. Another consideration is that biochemistry can be very complex depending on multiple sets of variables interacting. Some times the cause of an issue can be very obscure and not correlate with the vast majority of cases. You may find an anecdotal solution which fits one specific case and not others or where effectiveness varies wildly across the rang of cases.
