I think nearly everyone overlooks the use of cold water to thaw frozen food. They think "if the water is also cold it won't do anything" without realizing that the cold water is still a lot warmer than the frozen food and therefore the cold water thaws it

[@HariSeldon913]

Even if you use warm water, it becomes cold water pretty fast. The big problem with cooking from frozen is most of the time you want to cut the meat before cooking.

[@Blue-100]

My dad always forbid me to use warm or hot water to thaw out food with because the food would spoil. But the cold water does help especially with seafood

[@jamesinnes3471]

Tip from a chef: if your food is sealed (ex: vacuumed or zipclok ) thaw it over night in a bowl of cold water. The water makes contact with your food and allow it to "heat" up to the 4° from your refrigerator faster than just air.

[@chrisedler6758]

Managing a restaurant for years....all frozen food was thawed in cold water in half of a big stainless sink. It's truly the best way to thaw all meats and keep it's integrity and safety. NEVER USE HOT OR WARM WATER

[@Leahm725]

I was taught by medical professionals that if you thaw meat in a cold bowl of water that it’s safe, however you need to make sure the water is as cold as it’ll go and change the water every two hours to keep it cold. That way it stays below 40 still (out of the danger zone).

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Another fun fact: A bag of granulated white sugar is fat-free.

[@eph2vv89only1way]

Yup. For those who are wondering why, it's because the chocolate chips are an ingredient themselves and you are not adding sugar to them. The manufacturer of the chocolate chips added sugar so the chips are not no sugar added, but the chips are a final product for the manufacturer. They are an ingredient to you and not a final product

I have to come in and defend lymphatic drainage massage for a bit. My horse had cellulitis. This caused her leg to swell, and double in size. Once the active infection was resolved, we got her to a specialist who gave her a lymphatic drainage massage. Before the massage her leg was still incredibly swollen. However just 30 minutes after the massage the fluid came out through her skin! Her leg looked and seemed to feel so much better and dare I say almost back to normal. We have experienced this multiple times and the results were always really noticeable. So ofcourse it's no miracle, but it can have a dramatic effect in certain situations!

[@EmilyJelassi]

Might work for a horse, but as a person who's dealt with Lymphadema, lymphatic massage did Nothing for me at l!! Perhaps it's different for a horse?

[@melissasiepman7618]

@EmilyJelassi it's a shame it didn't work for you! I honestly don't really see a reason why it wouldn't help in humans but would in horses, I'm sure there will be differences but doubt they'll make the difference between not working at all and working well. I have noticed a difference in how effective the treatment is between different specialists. And maybe it's the condition? Cellulitis and lymfoedema aren't that similar in nature. Permanent damage to the lymphatic system can't be cured, and there will always be more fluid then normal. But it is a little strange that the lymphatic drainage massage didnt do anything to give temporary relief. All I have to make my claims are anecdotes, I haven't done too much research on the subject and should for sure read some studies! It is quite an interesting topic

[@boom_911]

​@melissasiepman7618 How do you know a regular massage by a trained specialist wouldn't of done the same thing for your horse? I agree with Dr Mike and the above commenter. While Lymphatic massage might help a little bit, it's no different then a regular massage. I have had to get them regularly from diagnosed lymphadema. Eventually I stopped going to those and just started getting regular massages, as it helps the same amount plus it feels better overall.

[@melissasiepman7618]

@boom_911 she is extremely spoiled and gets both regular massages and lymphatic drainage massages. And ofcourse they are both massages, but just focused on different goals and achieved with slightly different techniques.

[@electrowave114]

@@melissasiepman7618 The reason it works in horses is because, below the knee, the circulation of the horse's leg is inferior to the circulation in the rest of the horse's body. So the massage just helps move the fluid back to where it should be, because the only thing keeping that fluid there is gravity. Humans don't have a horse's limb circulation, however, and so when something occurs to block fluid exchange from one area to another, it's severe enough that a massage likely won't do anything (because it's not just gravity that's the problem). TL;DR: Horse leg circulation responds better to massage because it is just slightly borked compared to human leg circulation.

Had roommates a number of years ago and they would thaw meats in the sink/on the counter. I called them on it one Thanksgiving (they weren't changing the water every 30 mins nor was the turkey completely submerged), explaining the danger-zone and how the outside thaws quicker than the inside, etc... They didn't care, said they've been doing it this way for years and have always been fine. They never understood why I never ate anything they cooked.

[@Kristinapedia]

newsflash: people have been thawing meats on the counter for MILLENIA and everyone has been fine. Every day I came from from school in the 70's-80's and there was meat on the counter thawing away. NEVER ONCE IN 20 YEARS GOT SICK FROM THAWING MEAT ON THE COUNTER. If mom cooked meat every day for 20 years. that's over 7000 meals.. If there IS any bacteria on it... you're cooking it at HUNDREDS OF DEGREES and for a turkey: FOR 3-6 HOURS! Any bacteria is going to be DEAD and BURIED.

[@Thanatology101]

So many people also don't understand that there is no such thing as the "stomach flu." It's because they do things like this, and you'll typically only get sick days later and then it'll pass, so they don't make the association. They think that you just get sick immediately, and that is overwhelmingly NOT what happens.

[@aarondimoff5180]

Tell them again why the thing they've done successfully, thousands of time consecutively is actually wrong and stupid. That'll really make your scientific point clear.

[@Thanatology101]

​@@aarondimoff5180Because when you get sick from doing this, it typically is days later and only lasts until flushed from your system. There's no such thing as "stomach flu." You ate improperly handled/prepared food, got sick, and then got better as it passed through your system. Because foodborne illness is often so far removed from the food itself people don't connect the dots. They didn't eat that turkey and then feel sick later that day. We're talking 48 to 72 hours later. They'll associate the sickness with what they ate that day; not the bad food they ate three days before. This is all assuming that the food was properly cooked and all that happened was bacteria being allowed to grow before being killed during prep. If it was also not properly cooked, you run the risk of an active bacterial infection. That's a whole other beast and food poisoning typically results in hospitalization because it can kill you.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Back in the 1990 (I think) there was an "As Seen on TV" product that was just a Teflon-coated aluminum tray that, if you ran it under hot water every 15 minutes of use, would speed the thawing of frozen foods.

I'm trained in lymphatic massage and often work with older and geriatric clients. Because the technique focuses on very superficial pressure, I have seen marked differences in helping relieve oedema when used in conjunction with healthcare providers' advice and certain medications. No, it isn't a magic cure, but I do feel that it falls more into supportive care, even if the end result is often only seen as a placebo effect.

When I need to thaw a big chunk of meat fast (like say a thanksgiving turkey the morning of...), I throw it into my immersion circulator (AKA sous vide) with circulation but no heat. It thaws within a few hours. The water and the bird keep each other outside the danger zone through most of the process and it doesn't spend enough time in it to be a threat.

@@janejustin1788 your gonna eat food after you brush at some point (I hope 😄) the point is waiting 20-30 minutes to put anything else in your mouth so the toothpaste does its job properly. That being said, this is just the way I do it. If you want to eat first, just make sure you still seperate that from brushing by 20-30 minutes as well. Food and drink soften your enamel, which can allow brushing your teeth to damage the enamel over time, which you do not want. So effectively you want 20-30 minutes on both sides of the event with no food or drink (water before brushing is fine I should stipulate).

Now, and i say this as someone who had helped someone figure out what caused this, to the question of "broken bone fragments" there is a chance, if the bone fragment has been dislogged far enough outward from the center mass (the center where the bone usually sets) the body can sometimes form a cyst/abcest around it in some circumstances, its more of an oddity though due to the body breaking it down. Also slight detail for the Swimmers Ear, a fee drops of rubbing alcohol will help dry the ear as well.

We always defrosted our turkey/chicken in a metal tub full of water in front of a space heater. This is the hillbilly way.

A lot of dentists are DMD's (Doctor of Medical Dentistry) or DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and so would check your mouth and tongue. If your dentist ever had you stick your tongue out on a gauze strip and capture it, moving it this way or that, they are checking your mouth for lesions. They can also do that with UV light.

As a left handed person, I can confirm that not having certain tools and products configured for left handed people, has led to some close calls. I’ve been forced to learn how to use these things with my right hand.

For the razor bump thing, I also apply a hot water compress on my face. It also helps me get a closer shave more easily.

I refuse to take melatonin because when I do take it, I feel really weird when I wake up. I still have no idea why this happens.

[@NitrogenVM]

Take melanin instead, it’ll make you less sunburn

[@robo7643]

I get so groggy the morning after a melatonin sleep!

[@Weezlenut]

I have a co-worker that doesn't use it because she says it's almost hallucinogenic when she does. Even at the lightest recommended dosage.

I thawed some meat last night, I threw it in water, which wasn't actually cold (because it's the middle of summer) but I just let it partially thaw, enough to be able to split the pieces apart. The outside was thawed enough I could season it and toss it in the overn. Yeah it takes longer to cook, but it's fine.

Hi Doctor Mike, could you please explain whether or not matcha is good for tweens/teens? I know you will probably not see this, but if you have read this thank you!!!😊

[@TheOfficialLeaf]

its a good day when doctor mike uploads

[@PopCultureFan_]

Oh thank god... i was alittle worried. My mom never thaws meat out on the counter. She always thaws it out in hot water, also keeping it wrapped. Now that i think about that, why would anyone just leave raw meat out there on the counter without anything. It does sound like a good way to get bacteria growing just like you said.

[@duanefouche378]

On the subject of shoulderblades, I've had pain in my right shoulderblade for years now, and no doctor or physician I have ever been to can find the problem. Had scans etc done and they can't find anything, yet here I am with a noticeable throb in my blade all day. Using a massage ball temporarily relieves the strain but it comes back pretty quickly. Because if this I struggle to get to sleep at night - it feels like I have a rock under my shoulder if I sleep on my back, and I have a throb when sleeping on my side. I've given up on ever getting pain free to be honest.

[@cborsje]

Did you ever get a physiotherapist take a look at how you move your shoulder?

[@ericsmith6394]

I have a muscle in my neck that likes to recruit all its buddies for a pain party. There's nothing wrong with them, but they happily join in when the little one gets cranky. They also stay happy if I address the cranky one early. I had a real hard time figuring that out because the real pain starts much later than the mild discomfort that triggers it. I can easily avoid it now. Don't give up on solving your pain. Good luck!

I want to offer a counter to that bone thing. When I was 16 I injured my knee and there were several small fragments of bone left free floating in the area. A surgeon did an arthroscope and sucked them out, but missed a fragment. Over the course of the next year or so that fragment grew until it was about the size of a knuckle bone, thought it was different shaped. It was quiet smooth and sort of like a polished rock people use to decorate their gardens. It was still free floating around my knee. I could push it around and even flip it over. Occasionally it would slip under my kneecap and end up wedged against my ligaments making it impossible to straighten my leg. Had to have another operation to have it removed.

Dear Dr.Mike Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴 I hope one day you have the chance to translate your videos to Spanish. I try to understand the most of your explanations but there are many things that are out of my English level. You are amazing! Love 💓

I travel once a year internationally between countries that hve a 12hr time difference. In my experience, easiest way to come out of jet lag is when you land and its day time, DONOT sleep till the night. It will be hard and you will need to force your body to do it but once you do this and sleep at night, the next day your body will automatically reset its clock.

When we traveled from the US to Australia, we used melatonin and it helped a lot. Took it on the trans-Pacific flight after they served dinner and then right before bed for the first 2-3 days. But I think it also helped that we were outside doing a lot of walking during the day. It was a lot harder to readjust when we came home because I immediately went back to my indoor desk job.

[@McSmurfy]

Thanks so much for the shaving tips because I did not know pressing a bit harder than normal can cause issues (thought it gives a closer shave).
