Japan's stomach cancer problem 【胃がんの問題】日英字幕

[@bharathchandran8343]

Damn! I am a medical student and that was the best and most concise explanation of role of H. Pylori in gastric cancer i ever heard!

[@detroit7543]

yeah.. me too.. what have i learnt these past few years really.... --"

[@omarkhan2131]

Same. But didn't we learn that Nitrosamines, found in smoked foods, play an important part in Stomach (intestinal) carcinoma. Which leads to the high rate of stomach cancer in Japan. I mean that's pathology I ha

[@MickyMo6]

Bharath Chandran yeah, she would make a good teacher.

[@justacarat2638]

I'm a pharmacy student and I had those H. Pylori bacterias myself... so this was really interesting to me. And Rachel explained it very well!

[@moma-b]

Okay, and can you confirm that kissing Japanese people will save them from stomach cancer? 😁

[@y05077]

Funny about mentioning the kissing at the end because during the microbiology unit of my degree we did about one persons specific bacterial species and so a doctor took out all his students just on a night out and then the next day took a saliva sample from everyone in the class onto agar and compared the different species, your bacteria is so specific that from that plates you could see who kissed who.

[@katerinakiaha6925]

What an awesome study. lol

[@y05077]

Katerina Kiaha I thought it was a brilliant idea, I'd like to think it was kept just between the class who kissed who with their permission but interesting idea haha

[@katerinakiaha6925]

I can only say the possibilities are endlessly fascinating.

[@loriannaprays]

thank you for explaining stomach cancer for me. it has really helped me understand what happened to my dad. we lost him this september due to it. it had spread to his esophagus and intestines. again thank you, you've said more than his doctors ever did.

[@NEVERescapingLOVE]

my 11 year-old cousin just lost her dad to stomach cancer this year. I normally never cry when someone dies, but I cried when he died. I could just feel the pain my cousin had as she cried over his urn. She had planned to sing the song "You'll be in my heart", but her sorrow made that too hard for her to do. I'm sad that he is gone, but I'm happy he is no longer to pain.

[@samuelrasmussen7866]

The mechanisms of oncogenesis weren't really described in this video, so I recently left a comment with more information, if you want to understand it more. I conduct cancer research, and part of my motivation to go into the field was the number of my loved ones that succumbed to or are fighting cancer.

[@ThiefKingFlorence]

"Kiss some Japanese people, save some lives". I can't stop laughing! Sounds like an excellent plan to me. XD

[@isabeldambrosio2193]

If you and Jun make shirts like other youtubers your slogan should be "Kiss some Japanese people, save some lives' you could even donate a portion of the sales.!

[@lavintella]

You explain so well, have you ever considered becoming a teacher?

[@sailorsunsoldier]

I volunteer as tribute lol In all seriousness, this was a really interesting video. Good job!

[@hasen1957]

I thought it would turn out to have something to do with raw fish

[@rei_cirith]

+hasen195 That's what I thought too. The Japanese and Koreans are probably the most likely to eat raw seafood anyway. Not sure about the Mongolians.

[@Noals_Mck]

I thought it was from their instant noodles tell you the truth, but then again I know nothing about health in Asian countries other than Japan's citizen lifespan is a bit longer than U.S.

[@Melodyloveshorses1]

Yes! Plus parasites from raw fish...I wonder if this is a factor? Plus higher Mercury levels....

[@stephs8939]

ILoveHorses❤🐎 the percentage of mercury in fish is a very small number. It wouldn’t be an issue.

[@elizabethsmith9624]

More like pickled fish.

[@so-lyd-snake]

I'd be happy to save some Japanese lives :)

[@Elena-fu7jj]

Me too! :)

[@nicklasdantes2471]

it's for a good cause

[@TheMechanicalGirl999]

YES IT IS!!! FOR SCIENCE AND TO SAVE THE LIVES OF FELLOW HOT CHICKS!!! NOW TO FIND SOME JAPANESE LESBIANS/BI/TRANS/PANSEXUAL CHICKS!!! LOL!!!

[@finnsalsa9304]

TheMechanicalGirl999 Me too!

[@carothiell3259]

Count me in! Where do I sign up?

[@AmiMusicTree]

The way you structure your videos reveals your immense intellect! This is the first time I've actually enjoyed and learned from such a complex video.

[@ReflectedMiles]

Besides the H. pylori issue itself, another risk factor to be aware of for stomach cancer in Japan and elsewhere in East Asia, given some of the most common foods there, is "diets that have large amounts of smoked foods, salted fish and meat, and pickled vegetables. Nitrates and nitrites are substances commonly found in cured meats. They can be converted by certain bacteria, such as H pylori, into compounds that have been shown to cause stomach cancer in lab animals. On the other hand, eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables appears to lower the risk of stomach cancer." (from the American Cancer Society's summary of stomach cancer risk factors)

[@emjayay]

I'm guessing that something about typical food is a factor.

[@samuelrasmussen7866]

This is very true. I recently left a comment detailing the mechanisms of virulence, since that wasn't really covered in the video (which is fine, she did a nice job). Dietary factors contribute to DNA damage and can drive oncogenesis and progression.

[@dream_dealer]

The thing is, the reason why the foods you mentioned are linked to cancer is not just because they contain nitrates- it is because the h. pylori transofms them (nitrates) into cancer-inducing substances. So in the end, it comes down to the bacteria itself. If it weren't there, nitrates themselves wouldn't cause a problem in relation to stomach cancer (ignoring other health complications they may contribute to). I'm sorry for my not so good explanation, I just wanted it to be easy to understand and English isn't my native language..

[@03e-210a]

what if I magically told you results from animals does not exactly = human results.

[@ReflectedMiles]

T ...and what if I unmagically suggested to you that the outcomes data in humans are very real and known for a long time but the reason causal experimentation is not done in humans is because it is filled with ethical conflicts. A great deal in medicine has been learned from certain animal proxies and the degree of correlation has been high, just imperfect. Dismissing the results due to that alone would be foolish. The Society includes the appropriate caveats in its statement.

[@RachelandJun]

★Subtitles!★ *English* *Japanese* *Spanish (Mexico)* thanks to: Eduardo Lugo (GagaBabymetal) *Spanish (Latin America)* thanks to: MRDANNS17 *Czech* thanks to: Tereza Cigánková

[@tucnacek4444]

+Rachel & Jun I tried my best with the Czech subtitles :) It is nice to see that someone finally speaks about this problem... **sending a kiss from the Czech Republic** :)

[@UndyingZombie]

I would volunteer to help some people out in Japan :P Had to try.. lol.

[@DavidsenRecords]

Rachel please do these types of videos more often! You are amazing at giving an understandable explanation, that isn't too hard to remember compared to a teacher with 40 min explaining the same topic. :)

[@kelseyr7391]

The turn of this video was so freaking funny, I loved it! You're unbelievably smart! Also that's an interesting fact I never knew about my country the Philippines! Thank you for the very informative video!

[@paxora7820]

Wish all INFO videos were this way: researched-based, no time wasted, clear language and USEFUL! Thank you Rachel and best of luck.

[@ringo1208]

Sounds like a very good pick up line:"Kiss me or die of stomache cancer which is caused by bacterial acid!"

[@minabetty6477]

your way to explain things is so fluid and natural, you can make a good teacher ... awesome rachel , waiting forward for your next video

[@ooamaimomooo]

are you going to school for the medical field? you really explained this well, which usually means you understand it better!

[@ladytransformer12]

I feel so educated right now, that was a marvelous explanation and the clearest one for any form of cancer I've ever heard! Bravo

[@MulinaTheAngelWolf]

What I got out of the end; KISSSSIIEESSSSS Helpful, informative. Yay science!

[@simbbam]

LOVE LOVE LOVING this video! you should be a reporter on television, you have such a bubbling personality and lots of charisma!

[@ttle4]

The information in your video brings back memories of my med school lectures. However, the way you speak and present the information is much more interesting than my boring and monotone med school professors.

[@bunnyx726]

Lol "go make out with Japanese people." Your so smart Rachel!

[@mokocono5784]

Science, here I come

[@eyamane]

I love your videos! You should be a teacher! The best explanation of a difficult subject.

[@keah]

You are so super adorable. That is perfect advice!

[@SHINYreads]

Congratulations, Rachel! I've been in medicine(Radiology) for 30 years, and I give you a big thumbs up for your pronunciations! I also enjoyed the funny ending. :) Keep up the great vids!

[@bobomaster4274]

But what if kissing a Japanese person gives me the eastern strain! The things I do for love..

[@172_]

Bobo Master XD

[@curiouskat2488]

i love how informative and smart you are

[@flipfamous]

Very interesting and I can imagine the required research to explain this thoroughly was a lot. But, If you're suggesting Japanese people could help them selves by getting the better strain of the bacteria couldn't it work the other way? I kiss a Japanese person and get the worse strain of the bacteria and increase my chances of getting stomach cancer?

[@ViaColTubo]

This video might be your masterpiece! So clear in the exposition of the scientific issues and then you suggested what I consider would be one of the funniest human experiments ever!! I heard you had some trouble uploading it but it was reeeeeeely worth it! Keep doing what you're doing and never ever change! また今度 ! ! !

[@RachelandJun]

I actually hated school up until my final years in university. I didn't really enjoy learning until almost the end. Sometimes I wish I could go back now that I'm actually interested. @_@ I was definitely a "wait until the last minute, play tricks with sizing to get it to the page requirement, and rough draft? Final draft!" kind of person, lol.

[@nonchalantd]

You made such a dry subject so interesting to watch! Great work!

[@ARSENICgrass]

this was a really interesting video! and very clear too, because i understood everything! there are so many environmental factors that contribute to gastro cancers lol.. diet is a major factor. i think i read somewhere that theres a link between the high vinegar content in east asian foods (the korean and japanese dishes) to stomach cancer. other factors could be lifestyle.. pollution.. genetics..

[@TheXeeman]

yea I was thinking salt. South korea, japan and mongolia eat a lot of salted meat and fermented vegetables

[@JabaBabieWalkie]

You should be a teacher! You make everything easy to understand

[@MoogieMouseTV]

Is still can be caused by stressed. There are times when you're body is so stressed out (especially people with anxiety disorders) that your immune system will slow down. This will cause the bacteria in your stomach to grow in numbers and thus leading to ulcers. source: Science! 8D I took immunology in college.

[@jayalba2235]

I'm Filipino. Awesome explanation. Thank you for doing the homework for the rest of us.

[@frnz9808]

As I know, filipino are the hybrid of every race in the world. We have Japanese, American, English, Chinese, Spanish, Indians etc running through our bloodlines.

[@allfodatmusic2630]

Yeah I'm am filipino and I'm: 25% Irish, 25% english, 12% Spanish, 3% Chinese, and 35% native filipino... Lawl

[@velvetskitty5099]

American is a nationality

[@allfodatmusic2630]

+Velvet Skitty, so is everything else on the list. do you think "Spanish, Japanese, or Chinese, etc." is a race? although they are nationalities they influenced our country and brought new races and ethnicities, and influenced our culture. if you think about it race is just a social construct, it was made to describe " a group of people who share similar and distinct physical characteristics". there are only four races: Mongoloid, Australoid, Caucasoid, and Negroid, every human that exists are just a mixture of those races. most people say their nationality when asked their race because whats easier describing the race of a Filipino? saying "Mongoloid, Australoid, Caucasoid" or simply "I'm Filipino".

[@velvetskitty5099]

+🎵allfodatmusic🎵 okay

[@kathopaco]

I just watched this again because this is our topic in physiology class this afternoon. Hehe. Great video!

[@oxymoronchick7]

how long did it take you to memorize all those words? good job! thanks for doing all the research for us!

[@ImFrelled]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you beat it and live a long and healthy life.

[@taylor8578]

Before you separated the scientific part from your outlook my brain was about to burst but afterwards my brain was happy. In a few years when I'm able to leave America without my parents, I'm going to save some lives. :D

[@parkerandrecreation]

Lol I'm glad I studied science and was able to follow this

[@bealuhan]

I'm really happy you're making these informative videos about things we would otherwise never find out about. I think about all the research with confusing terms you had to do and I feel really thankful :)

[@DeadlyChinchilla]

You're... kind of amazing. And I used to be just like you. Never touched makeup till I was 22-23, barely knew what fashion or hair cuts or anything in life really. I've spent many years trying to break out of my terrible awkwardness, and sometimes it still creeps up on me. I mean, I have authority figure issues, I cried in front of a teacher just last year... yeah, sad, I know... you seem amazingly confident, and you're clearly very smart too, so I hope you don't mind if I put you up on a little tiny pedestal, okay? ^_^

[@cryptidofthemarshes1680]

DeadlyChinchilla She's definitely a role model for me as well :)

[@reavl6494]

As a medical student I found this very useful. Thanks! And it's super fun listening to you pronouncing medical terms.

[@fayethinfate]

It's funny to see her saying stomach cancer with a smile on her face. xD

[@juliasantos2764]

I just love your channel!! You are always answering questions that I always had but couldn't find the answers!

[@lavintella]

You're so smart and adorable!!

[@mikecanmore1645]

This was a good video, well researched and explained, I would be okay if you posted more videos like this.

[@angelodou]

I'm in. Where do I have to sign? :)

[@everex2]

Nice work and research, very informative. I had always assumed high stomach cancer rates were related to diet.

[@MrSonny6155]

I was listening while building my RBG, but when you said Barry Marshall, that Nobel prize guy in Australia who's helper was Robin Warren, looked up forgot everything around me. Robin Warren visited our school! I dropped a sharp screwdriver on my foot.

[@AndreMartinezDesign]

Last part was the best!!! Made my day Rachel, have a nice week :)

[@everlastingluv361]

My grandpa died of stomach cancer. They didn't detect it in time.

[@Livelovelifeeleni]

rip hon

[@enigmaticvertorso1239]

+Everlasting Luv My uncle too, mate. Rip.

[@smartwillow465]

Thank you for doing this research for your fans

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Sad thing is I have learned more from you in 1 day than 3 years of science

[@thompolar]

You learned a few statistics and absolutely nothing about the scientific basis of genetics or epidemiology which allows you to understand this issue. If you listened in school maybe you'd be doing better!

[@HellraizerKaizerin]

I appreciate you doing all this research when you didn't really have to. The conclusion is totally worth it! Thank you!

[@chewynum]

In Australia, when you are over either 40 or 50, your doctor pushes you to take a bowel cancer screen, a stool sample basically. It saves a lot of lives. Through early prevention :D

[@cryptidofthemarshes1680]

Minibyte! That's so cool! :o Why doesn't America have any of this??

[@RachelandJun]

That was the old way of thinking, which I also addressed in the description of the video a bit. Hotness and spiciness has no correlation to stomach cancer (or ulcers), and salt itself doesn't impact your risk of stomach cancer. Despite popular belief the Japanese diet really isn't much saltier than how people eat in America. What does impact stomach cancer is saltED meats, as a method of preservation (not just meat with salt seasoning)--because they amplify h. pylori's ability to cause cancer.

[@Katada893]

I've been in a 8+ yr relationship with a foreigner... and before that almost all of my previous girlfriends were non-Japanese/non-Asian My East Asian CagA+ strain has most likely been replaced by a western one by now. lol

[@owenw.1643]

such a good mix of humor and science in one video. i love it

[@Thrashochist]

"Kiss some Japanese people, save some lives" I WILL! *salutes* I am honored to accept this task! Mokkori time! XD

[@olivia1630]

Fun fact: while procrastinating writing an epidemiology paper, I watched this video, and wrote my paper using the websites (about stomach cancer, obviously) you put in the description.

[@lunaquetzal215]

oh my godddddd, the ending was hilarious

[@jprince7954]

Very well done video, Rachel. I really appreciate the amount of research you do and the effort it takes to present it so articulately. I learned something this morning, thank you!

[@sameaston9587]

I will donate myself... for science!!!

[@KyuubiCatT]

It's funny that you uploaded this when you did. We're learning about cancer in my high school anatomy this week so a lot if what your saying about epithelial cells and how cancer spreads reminds me of school. :)

[@BreaNatsukoHuff]

I've found that the more acidic a persons body ph is the better the chance for illnesses and cancer. But the more alkaline your body's ph level the less a person will get sick and the less likely they are to have cancer. The way I explain this to my kids is think of your body as a pool. When the ph is to the bad, the water turns nasty and slime starts to grow along the bottom of the pool. But when you balance the ph levels, the water is crystal clear and nothing can grow in it. So it's important to make sure your body's ph levels are balanced. Science has come a long way and in the not so distant future, I can see more healthy people and less sick people.

[@badgerinabluedress4866]

That's a great analogy. I'm going to try that on my husband.

[@vendetta9876]

That's not entirely correct, no matter what you eat (acidic or alkaline food), your body has mechanisms that keep the pH of your blood at a constant interval (slightly alkaline).

[@XOXTheFunnyBunnyXOX]

that makes me really wanna eat chlorine..... :P (eats way too much acidic food)

[@paxora7820]

vendetta9876 NOT SO. The body TRIES to keep slightly alkaline, BUT if you keep pouring acidic food & drinks in it, your body's PH will be acidic, UNTIL it can reach that right PH, provided you give it ENOUGH TIME! If you keep pouring acidic stuff along the day, you're gonna be acidic and get an ulcer or get sick.

[@vendetta9876]

Paxora78 You obviously aren't familiar with human physiology, acidic food isn't enough to cause metabolic acidosis.

[@MzMusicAddict]

Your videos are so informative! I enjoy watching them. Humor, knowledge, and lessons in Japan and Japanese. Thanks for making them!

[@zhenhuang536]

ANYTHING for science...!

[@jessie0728ifly]

I love your video! You're explanation of science made so much more sense to me!

[@Aetohatir]

So basically.... Don't kiss an East Asian

[@RachelandJun]

早期発見できて本当によかったです。（＾－＾） コメントしていただき、ありがとうございます。 今後もご自愛ください。

[@Athlynne]

Ii kangae, Rachel-san. Does this mean you're protecting Jun by making out with him? Good, I like him. :) Thanks for all the info!

[@bcr1911994]

love these kind of videos ,never heard of stomach cancer before but i had stomach ulcers when i was a kid. more learning videos all three of them were awesome.

[@Nagy2kan]

Friends FOR SCIENCE!! My question though is that if our less harmful bacteria can transfer and help, then can't the more harmful bacteria transfer the other way as well? :|

[@LordNullset]

First, it would depend on how well each strain displaces the other. If Western Helicowaytoolong kills or replaces East Asian Helicowaytoolong, let the macking begin. Vice versa...best to do one of those electronic relationships, like in Fractale :P To be safe, there is one, rather disgusting solution: Westerners need to drool into East Asians' mouths. Not so exciting anymore, huh? Ah well, won't keep me from chasing after the cute Japanese ladies! :)

[@TheGhomptie]

You should make more science related videos, you explained it so well!

[@unaanguila]

The last part, haha ^_^ For science!

[@Haiass92]

That was a pretty good entry on science ^^ You made it really clear and very interesting :)

[@Audio_Otaku]

Just thinking out load on your personal ideas. Would that not also infect the Westerners with the Eastern strains?

[@AijiVII]

I thought the same however it also depends on your body's immune system, which the immune system can prevent quite a number of diseases if it is at its peak.

[@makda1213]

YES YES YES YES you're idea at the end is BRILLIANT!

[@gnagyusa]

Great video! The science makes sense and I love your solution! :) Biodiversity is important for immunity in general and not just against h pylori. In fact, this is why sexual reproduction developed in the first place! There is a transitional fish species that can still reproduce asexually, but it can reproduce sexually as well, so they offer a great opportunity for comparison: The populations of this fish that don't use sex, are infected with all kinds of parasites, while the sexually reproducing populations are healthy. Individials in the asexual population have identical immune systems, so once the parasite "figured out" how to beat it, it could infect the entire population. The sexually reproducing fish, on the other hand have diverse immune systems that are a "moving target' for the parasite. The lack of genetic diversity is called a "monoculture" and it's a known problem in agriculture as well (crops). This even applies to computers! Microsoft is a monopoly (=monoculture), so there are like a million viruses for Windows, while only a handful for the ever-changing rest of the operating systems (Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS etc.). Well, and Windows is crap... It was not even designed with networking in mind from the ground up. In fact, networking was added later on and started out as extensions, so obviously network security was an after-after thought... I lived and worked in Tokyo for 2 years, and now I now why I should have had a Japanese gilrfriend (I was too busy being a nerd). For science! :)

[@infoprodigy1]

lnpilot We reproduce and have more complex biological structures because God made us this way....

[@gnagyusa]

infoprodigy1 And who made god that way? What evidence do you have for this "god" thing?

[@infoprodigy1]

What "way"? there was no definition to any "way" pertaining to God in my statement or yours - thus, it has no answer and is a non-viable question. So, ill answer your second question with a familiar verse below in Romans chapter 1, verse 2 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:". Thus, the answer to your question is - we know God exists by His creation - its all around us and is directly observable. In the same way - we know a painter exists when we see a painting. We know a builder exists when we see a building. And we know a writer exists when we see a book. All these things are evidences of order and order can only come from intelligence.Thus, the existence of God is an Axiom. Best wishes :)

[@gnagyusa]

infoprodigy1 If things needed a creator, just because they are complex, then god needed a creator too! After all, god is the *most complex* thing there is! So, you are contradicting yourself. The fact that stuff exists is just evidence that stuff exists. Going from "stuff exists", to there is a big, invisible, magical dude who made it all, is a *huge leap* with *no evidence* to support it. Why the hell do some people keep jumping to that conclusion, every time they don't understand something? After being proven wrong, time after time! People used to think that lightning was caused by god when he was angry. Now we know what *actually* causes lightning. Do I need to go on? Fact is: you don't know where things came from. The *honest* and intelligent thing to do is *admit* that you *don't know* and keep *studying the universe* to learn its origins. It's *dishonest* and *lazy* to make up a big, invisible magic man instead. Where did this god come from? What is it made of? How does it work? You see, you just raised *more questions*. You didn't actually answer anything. All you did was to substitute a mystery with a *bigger* mystery. You're back to *square one*. We know a painting was panted by a painter because we have *seen* painters paint paintings. We know that buildings are built by humans because we have *seen* *architects*, *construction workers* and *equipment*. We have *seen* the very process of building construction. All these things have been *observed*. So, you analogy is *false*. Gods, or the process of creation has *never* been observed. Have you ever seen *any* gods, or have you seen a chicken just "poof" into existence? Do you have an instrument that can reliably observe or measure gods? Unless you do, your claim has absolutely no basis in reality. It's pure speculation and wishful thinking.

[@infoprodigy1]

Your arguing from a position of "infinite regression" and that only clouds the issue at hand and leads to confusion. The point is NOT infinite regression and explaining each causation - because neither the Atheist nor the Creationist can explain infinite regression and even God for that matter. The Atheist cannot explain something he doesn't believe in and the Creationist cannot explain what exists outside time and space from the perspective of inside time and space. Thus, both the Atheist and the Creationist are forced to argue from observable phenomenon within the universe where they both reside. The point in question is - what then is the nature of our universe and what can we learn from our observation of the universe in which we exist? When we study our universe what do we observe? We observe order. What do our experiences tell us about order? Our experiences tell us that order comes from intelligence. For example, when an Archaeologist finds an object how does he know it is an object of value that needs to be studied? The answer is order. If the object possesses an order relatable to the field of Archaeology then he knows that it is created and worthy of further study. The Archaeologist does NOT need to see or know who created it to know that it was created. Nor does he need to know where, why or how it was created to accurately conclude that it is a created object. The Archaeologist only needs to recognize meaningful order within the object to know that it has a creator. The Archaeologist, as do all individuals, learns from experience of observation that objects with order are created - like paintings, buildings, and other items. Thus, the Archaeologist relies upon his learned observation skills to determine which objects that he unearths are worthy of further examination and study. With this in mind, we too can use the same method of observation to investigate our surroundings. And when we observe our universe and all that is in it what do we see? We see order. Even on the most minute level of detail - such as the molecules and atoms - we see incredible order. Thus, we can see that it is a natural law that order comes from a creation event. Considering this, we can see that the Atheist has no valid vantage point where he can argue against a Creator as the origin of the universe. For wherever one looks or observes - he will always be faced with order within the universe - from the largest unto the smallest detail. Additionally, there is another way to determine that our universe was created. When considering that our universe is confined within our defined parameters of space and time - we understand that anything outside our time and space is considered supernatural, para-natural or paranormal and strongly suggests that there is more than what is only in our universe. That said, consider that the Bible contains prophecies, predictions and information written many years before these things could be known - some of them are: 1. The Messiah. 2. The 4 world Empires of Daniel. 3. The re-establishment of Israel as a nation. 4. Wind travels on circuits 5. The circle of the earth and the line that separates day and night 6. Springs of water in the deep Thus, the biblical record itself requires an intelligence outside our universe to explain such phenomenon that are impossible to explain without supernatural intervention. One is compelled to ask then - how is it that the writers could record such facts years before modern technologies and methods confirmed the records to be true? The answer is they are of supernatural origin - there is no other explanation. Thus, the bible then becomes a useable source of information. That said, what does the bible say about the origin of the universe? It confirms observation - namely that the universe and everything within it was created by a Creator. Additionally, as for your comments - you said: 1. If things needed a creator, just because they are complex, then god needed a creator too! A. Not true. Your making a false assumption from an argument of infinite regression. God is outside of time and space and thus is not confined to the same interpretation as our universe. 2. So, you are contradicting yourself. The fact that stuff exists is just evidence that stuff exists. A. Not true. it is evidence not only that stuff exists but that it exists in a state of ORDER - and thus it must be created - because order indicates intelligence and supports a creative event. 3. People used to think that lightning was caused by god when he was angry. Now we know what actually causes lightning. Do I need to go on? A. The "people" were not that far off from the truth. Lightening is caused by natural laws that exhibit incredible order, thus they were correct in attributing it to a Creator. However, they were incorrect in their interpretation that it was because God is angry. Although, are you familiar with the "protocols of Zion" and how they became known to the public? The carrier of the papers, information considered anti-government and essentially traitorous, was struck dead by lightening - allowing the protocol information to be known to authorities. Perhaps the "people" were correct after all...lol 4. Why the hell do some people keep jumping to that conclusion, every time they don't understand something? A. Actually, science is starting to discover just how ordered the universe in which we live is - so how is it that Creationists don't understand ? We are using the same scientific evidence you are.... The difference is we interpret the science in favor of a Creator and a creation event. 5. Fact is: you don't know where things came from. The honest and intelligent thing to do is admit that you don't know and keep studying the universe to learn its origins. It's dishonest and lazy to make up a big, invisible magic man instead. A. Actually, if you remember I addressed this earlier - we don't need to know the details to know that the universe was created. The point is not to explain the how or when etc - it is to establish that it was created. And in light of observed order everywhere - that's enough evidence that the universe was intelligently created. Believing that the universe was created is not dishonest nor is it lazy - it is based on the observation of order within our universe - order that is scientifically substantiated. No creationist believes in a "magic man". Magic implies deception and illusion - the Creator is neither. He can actually do what no other can do - create something from nothing - order from disorder. 6. Where did this god come from? What is it made of? How does it work? You see, you just raised more questions. You didn't actually answer anything. All you did was to substitute a mystery with a bigger mystery. You're back to square one. A. This is another attempt to argue from the point of infinite regression, which I have already stated that your what, where, how, etc questions need not be answered to know that the universe was created - and indeed cannot be answered from within our time and space perspective. The answer must come from outside our time and space - we see this in the bible that confirms our observations - namely that the universe was created. 7. We know a painting was panted by a painter because we have seen painters paint paintings. We know that buildings are built by humans because we have seen architects, construction workers and equipment. We have seen the very process of building construction. All these things have been observed. So, you analogy is false. A. Have you or any other modern human being "seen" or observed rock carvings being made by primitive man? Im sure the answer is NO. But yet the experts all agree that the rock carvings were created. Why? because the rock carvings exhibit meaningful order. This order is recognized as physical evidence that the rock carvings were created and not random chance. Additionally, the same can be said for the great sphinx in Egypt - there is no evidence that it was created except for the object itself - yet we believe it was created because the object displays order. Remember, the question is not who, where or when - it is only the question of if it was created. However, according to your criteria of observation - you expect us to believe that the sphinx created itself from nothing. The ancient primitive rock carvings created themselves from nothing. And that other things like the wooly mammoth found in ice, extinct creatures found in fossils, and quantum particles all created themselves from nothing. The fact in point is, just because we have never "seen" the creation event doesn't mean it wasn't created. 8. Gods, or the process of creation has never been observed. Have you ever seen any gods, or have you seen a chicken just "poof" into existence? Do you have an instrument that can reliably observe or measure gods? Unless you do, your claim has absolutely no basis in reality. It's pure speculation and wishful thinking. A. Not true. God has been observed - Moses observed God and documented it. The apostles observed God in the form of Jesus and recorded it. An entire nation experienced God and witnessed His presence. Many were healed from incurable diseases and some were brought back from death to life in the presence of many eye-witnesses. All this was documented and recorded in letters and documents before the bible existed and were not originally intended to be in a book. These are all eye-witnesses to the existence of God. However, you and Atheists choose not to believe it. There is more recorded evidence for the creation of the universe than for the sphinx in Egypt - however, do you believe the sphinx was created? And yet you and Atheists deny the existence of a Creator. As for observing the creation of the universe - it was before any human was created - however, God was there and possibly angels or other created beings observed and witnessed the creation of our universe. As for the "poofing" chicken - well, the first chicken was included in the creation of the universe - lol. However, evolution does teach that nothing created everything right? So that must include "poofing" chickens - better known in the past as spontaneous generation. A belief that was disproved long ago with the advent of microbiology. So, since you don't believe in a Creator - your only alternative is - "poofing" chickens. As for "instruments" that measure God - no, I don't have an instrument or any other way of measuring an eternal and immortal being. but that should be no surprise - as I said before - All of us are confined to time and space we call the universe - however, God is not - thus how is it possible to measure God with an instrument? But, that being said - how many people measure the existence of God by the profound changes in their lives? And by supernatural events? Since you don't believe in the supernatural, your only alternative is to dismiss them all as delusional. In summary, your requirements to prove the existence of God are unreasonable. Additionally, evidences in the form of eye witness accounts, supernatural events and prophecies have testified of the existence of a Creator and been available to you and all Atheists - however, you choose to not believe in a Creator. Thus, it is by CHOICE that you do not believe in a Creator and creationism - NOT by lack of observable and supernatural evidence. Such a condition reminds me of something... Romans 1:20 " For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: "

[@KitchenKnife0]

Hmm but if the Japanese people can attain CAG A-... wouldn't the opposite be true to the foreigners too? Would it be possible to affect the foreigners with A+?

[@77picklehead]

Oh Rachel! I am soooo very proud of you! My anatomy professor in medical school, who was a general surgeon and excised numerous stomach cancers and fixed perforated ulcers his entire career, DIED of stomach cancer himself! And yesterday in the OR I saw someone go for gastrectomy for cancer too. You did a wonderful, amazing job, and I can't wait to share it with my readers. (I am a blogger 'Reiki Doc') Aloha and mahalos to both you and Jun!! Namaste.

[@enigmaticvertorso1239]

YES MA'AM! 4 SCIENCE!..

[@Palatidd]

One of my favorite videos yet!! You should add more "little history lessons to your videos" :)

[@elKarlo]

Thank you, that was really insightful. I always thought it was due to the high sodium content of the food. Quick question, as I have been lived in japan for several years, and my wife is Japanese. Why do older Japanese guy smell like old men? Not being rude, but I hear young people calling older, and by older I mean 45+ men that they are stinky. Why is this? Is it from diet, or from genetics, of both?

[@gummydorky]

Gurrrlll, where were you during my last year of physiology in uni. So much more informative and fun to watch.

[@LeoEnlightened]

has the fukushima nuclear power plant affected Japan by the way ?

[@FearlessP4P1]

Theres a giant lizard now

[@oromis995]

FearlessP4P1 Nah, that giant lizard has been there every sunday at least since the sixties, my grandpa always tells me about it. The locals are used to it by now ^^

[@VirtualDogCompanion]

You should be a teacher! You explained that so well!

[@gamla65]

You ommit one small tidbit. A Japanese with a wrong strain of the bacterium, can give it to You just as easy as you give Them the good strain. Safer would be to dope yoghurt's with it

[@donniee146]

Where you good at giving speeches in school? This is amazingly done!

[@TWQEmmaFrost]

I'd so love to kiss a Japanese man. *_*

[@MickyMo6]

Rachel! You would be a great teacher!

[@annmcneal7804]

Great video! Great idea Rachel!

[@aiai-j7i]

You're amazing! I love how you are quirky and playful but also cerebral. You and your husband are very inspiring.
