It irks me that more effective natural medicine isn't taught to doctors or used here in the US. Valerian and Skullcap are commonly used in other countries like Japan and Germany to treat things like insomnia and anxiety instead of Rx drugs with a million possible side effects. Valerian harmful side effects? None unless you're allergic. Natural substances like that can't be patented, so nobody gets rich. So they suppress it in favor or prescription lab-made drugs.

Just felt the need to mention, that thing where the old guy is slapping and kicking the younger guy is something from goju-ryu. The younger man is performing a Kata called Sanchin, while the older is doing Shime on him. Sanchin is an exercise performed while tensing every muscle as much as possible and going through the forms, Shime is done by the instructor to make sure the student is performing the kata correctly. Please note that both of those men are blackbelts (pretty sure I know who the older man is, but can't remember his name, if he's who I think, he's a grandmaster of Goju-Ryu) normally for less experienced students shime is only light pushes done to test and correct, at their level this sort of shime is to be expected. What you don't see when the old master goes for those nut shots is that the younger man has his legs planted very specially so that his tenders don't get tenderized. His thighs are stopping the kicks entirely. In summary, those two are very skilled practitioners of Goju-Ryu and generally just very strong men. Do *not* imitate then without *years* of training and practice with Sanchin.

I'm a garment technician and textile engineer, and it's crazy what I see online... like people literally have no clue about the most basic things of what they are wearing and textiles in general... e.g. a lot of people don't know that polyester and polyamide are actual plastic, or that you should urgently wash clothes before you wear them the first time, because those are not getting washed after the sewing process, so the shirt you bought was literally touch by approx. 100-200 people before you got it... And there is SO SO MUCH more... I mean, when nobody teaches you, how should you know... Sometimes I read comments under textile production videos / reels / shorts... and it's so crazy, that I don't know if I should laugh or cry. 😅 Personally, I would love to do educational content in this field, but this is a full time job and more... and of course money...

@platinum pepe the chemical aspect is another reason of cause, but the hygenic standards are totally different in the production countries so a lot of "invisible" dirt get on the clothes, and than it gets loaded in shipping containers and transported for over 6 weeks in a warm and humidity climate which is great for things like bacteria growth and mold...

Side note on the allergies: As a bartender, please please tell your server any allergies you have, even if it doesn't seem to be in the item you're ordering. For example, one day they sent us peanut oil for our fryer. If you ordered fries you would think you would be fine. Always always tell us so we can take the necessary precautions.

Another fun fact: you're using the "as a bartender" part in a completely wrong way, you can't simply change the subject after that.

[@sarahmiller4980]

@@soothingwisdom273 Have you ever heard about the descriptive approach to grammar? Basically, you could focus on what some authority puts forward as "correct" grammar (prescriptive approach) OR you could look at how most people actually write and speak and use that as the standard of what is correct (descriptive approach.) I knew exactly what Illyssa was trying to say, and so did everybody else. I used to correct people like this, but I stopped doing it after I learned that most linguists use the descriptive approach as the gold standard. It may seem fun and harmless to correct people's grammar, but it can come off as condescending or pedantic. The prescriptive approach often fails to take into account the distinct features of different dialects as well as natural changes in a language over time. I would prefer it if fewer people corrected others' grammar in cases like this. Respectfully, Sarah M. (B.A. in Languages, Linguistics, and Comparative Literature)

And if you're needing to do heavy metal stuff regularly, you may need to check your OSHA compliance. Like, there's a KZbin backyard chemist who does all sorts of refining of metals, including regularly cleaning/purifying/re-refining his large stash of mercury (which includes dissolving it in such a way that it would be bioavailable), and I don't think even he's had to receive chelation yet (though he did discuss it in one of his refining videos because it is part of one of the processes he used for refining his mercury). Oh, and he also plays with the mercury sometimes because he just has so much. If if you've got less effective safety protocols than him, there's something *very* wrong with your protocols.

Aspirin is a natural derivative. Digitalis is a natural derivative (foxglove). Penicillin is a natural derivative (penicillium mold-white stuff on rotting oranges). Opium is a natural derivative (opium poppy). My doctor put a honey-infused dressing on a deep scrape on my knee and it caused the skin to renew without scarring on a goodly half of the wound. It was a deep scrape, so I think it could only help so much. However! I accidently smashed my toe with the foot of a chair I was trying to scoot (I'm almost 200 lbs🥺), and when I cleaned the area, I smeared a bit of honey on the wound before the bandage. I am proud to say that in 2 days the wound was quite healed with little bruising and a diminished mark where the chair landed on my toe and tore skin. The scraped skin was healed, too. And honey is great in tea!

The anaphylaxis one is crazy! As someone who grew up with allergies and has gone into anaphylaxis at least twice as a CHILD, I get anxious even just eating out and being around peanut products! And the first major one that was almost certainly just food (and not exercise after food) that happened after I got diagnosed and got EpiPens I was so freaked out that despite knowing how in theory to administer the EpiPen, my sister ended up having to help me do it. We were at an airport and because I wasn't a citizen of that country, the paramedics refused to do it. I seriously hope he had someone else with him, because when you're mid-anaphylaxis you're terrified and busy itching from head to toe, you're likely tearing up like crazy, your face swells. Also, I really wish that people would stop touting pseudoscience on the internet. My mum's fallen prey to them and she's all about oRgAnIc and nAtUrAl stuff. Not to say that there may not be long term effects from GMOs, but we've literally been doing the slow and unpredictable version of that probably since the beginning of civilisation. Heck, bananas, watermelons, tomatoes used to look very different and things like oranges didn't even used to exist.

11:09 this take of yours about pharma really struck me. I was diagnosed with MS three months ago and was very quickly assigned natalizumab as my long-term treatment. And while it's arguably the best one out there, I still did a lot of research to find out what other options are or might be available someday. And all I found was more monoclonal antibodies and other types of immunomodulatory treatments, but nothing aiming to cure the disease... On the other hand, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to be far more effective against MS than any of those long-term treatments, sometimes leading to very long-term NEDA. It's only being done on very rare occasions, even though it could probably be improved and made viable for more patients if further investigated, which sounds like the right call to me given the fact that it's the only treatment currently available which has shown some curative potential.

[@TheJensPeeters]

I mean yes pharma is very much a field where you want interests to be aligned with societal interests and viability in mind. That being said I think an issue there is also the lack of transparency how resources are located and decisions are made inside these companies. I believe that there are often valid points preventing certain developments even though I think we could be more aggressive about what we as a society think the pharma sector should be and design incentive structures or control measures around that.

0:26 I can confirm that squeezing your tonsils like this does alleviate pain and swelling in the tonsils. I do *not* know why, but it *does* work. If you are going to do this, obviously wash your hands first. Then use a thumb or index finger and press firmly, pushing from the front to the back of your tonsil. If you are quick (or have reasonable control of your gag reflex), you shouldn't have any issues, particularly if you avoid touching the back of your tongue (which is more likely to trigger the gag response). Depending on how sore your tonsils already are, this may be moderately to extremely painful, but once you do it, you will experience a large amount of relief almost immediately. When you are done, wash your hands again. Please note that this doesn't treat the underlying cause of what is wrong, like an infection or whatever. I have been doing this most of my life due to chronic tonsil problems (I should have had them removed as a child, but my doctor was hesitant and my parents didn't advocate for me).

For those of you who are confused as to what Simlish is, it's the gibberish language from the game "The Sims", which also had several musicians recreate their songs with gibberish lyrics. Luke Bryan's "Country Girl," Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night," and even "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves all have Simlish Covers.

2:30 - "When the EpiPen expires you need to get a new one right away." Just FYI, if all you have is an expired EpiPen, using that is better than nothing.

I think one thing that needs to change is Big Pharma being able to advertise to the masses, like on TV and social media. A friend of mine who came to visit from England was blown away that it's legal for those companies to advertise like that.

[@danastrickland8811]

💯 agree

[@rdizzy1]

Eh, I don't see it as an issue, because a doctor has to prescribe you these medications anyways, you can't just see a medication commercial, then go to the grocery store and buy it. If you ask a doctor about it, they won't prescribe it to you, if you don't need it.

[@faithlifenotfries]

Very few countries allow this advertising.

[@Firsona]

And sometimes they don't even tell you what they're for. It's just a bunch of people at a picnic and the name of the drug plastered everywhere. 'Get this drug and have a happy family!' There should be no reason for them to advertise to us.

[@Wolfspaule]

1:16 I think these are Aikido blackbelts. They have a tradition to harden yourself, by getting hit by your fellow trainers students. You decide how hard and where it is allowed. And this was probably to show how focus and training can reduce pain.

We appreciate Dr Mike's consistency and dedication. God bless him.

I sincerely thank you for explaining Brownian Motion!! I knew that smaller particles got caught more easily, but didn't quite understand WHY, and nobody was ever able to explain that to me before, not even acquaintances in the medical field - they just threw me the perennial, "Uh, it's hard to explain, you wouldn't understand" 🙄...

3:29 - ask them what they’re detoxing FROM. Have you, in fact, ingested something poisonous and you can’t get to an ER to have your stomach pumped? That’s the ONLY REASON to need a “detox smoothie”.

[@jocelynwright9093]

Keep up the good work on making everyone in the world laugh and informing everyone when a popular tv show isn’t acurate❤

Dr. Mike uses these videos to fuel his anger at the gym. He doesn't need a power bar, he just watches one of those health tik toks and he is good to go.

[@Roguefem76]

I feel like he might actually hurt himself doing that. 😆

[@Squeegeeeeeeeeeeee]

“Health” TikToks 😂

[@HangryVelociraptor]

I have a bee venom allergy so I'm careful in the summer and fall. I'm also allergic to bananas but luckily it's just uncomfortable instead of potentially lethal. I love seeing Bear make appearances. He's so chill.

[@Joshgilly94]

“Why cure someone when you can treat them for a lifetime and bill them every step of the way” Dr. Mike just proved that Family Guy right.

[@oceaneo4603]

Some disease aren't curable, that's why get a lifetime bill. At least they could get some release, some aren't that fortunate.

[@tjalemonyepao7269]

9:31 That was dope..🤯🤯🤯

[@Socavgp]

i got stuck on a Dr. Mike loop and the only thing that stopped it was him not suggesting another video to check out right at the end of this one. thanks, doc! 'preciate it

[@Atay03]

I love Dr. Mike for the simple fact that a lot of his advice and input are things that ANYONE can benefit from hearing.

[@Karnet0]

13:20 Hey Dr. Mike, can you tell me what exactly my body does to eliminate all of the dangers of smog?

[@score1015]

Hey Doctor Mike! I'm a kinesiology student and in one of my sport medicine courses I learned that the nursemaid's elbow you talked about is often reportable to children's aid as it is a common sign of child abuse. However, from your example in the video I see accidents like that happen so that got me wondering, how would you approach the situation for a radial head dislocation or nursemaid's elbow?

[@zohabaig6426]

A good history and physical and x rays can be really helpful here! If you see bruising in many different areas or evidence of other fractures that didn't heal properly, that's an indication that might push you more towards abuse. Also, pay attention to the way the kid acts. Are they shy? Do they move away from their parents? Are they tense? Body language and a few pointed questions can be really useful! It's not as simple as one sign being a "gotcha" for abuse

[@LeeYeosin143]

Dude as a student in medical school,you're video's actually let me understand things better. And not you having a whole mental breakdown over misinformation😭 That just shows you take you're job seriously! I hope one day i can be like you❤ Love from Lee Yeosin~~ 🇰🇷 living in Belgium

[@SilveerStarr]

8:48 in my time spent with therapists, skills trainers, & other such supports, there have been some great patient statements from me, so much so that it was an inside joke w a skills trainer to say “you can quote me on that”

[@TheNellz1991]

I’ve developed a habit of yelling at wacky health claims. Thanks to Dr. Mike!

[@fa_rook_ak94]

10:52 the fact that this guy is talking about big company greed but he is also the same guy that tried to sell nfts because he wants to make money is just hilarious to me 😂😂 Oh the irony

[@OrdinaryEXP]

There was a TV show in a local TV channel which tested the headphone mask (probably not the same brand but similar design). The host worn it for a few days and reported that the noise-cancelling function was so good, all you hear is the _very_ noticeable constant buzz from the running fan motor.

[@rickabrams3422]

5:19 any chance if there is no such thing as a "leaky gut" would you mind doing a video on that? i see other doctor content creators suggesting how to "fix" this leaky gut problem.

14:10 that is just spot on, also the Virus is stuck to the bigger particles, so if they get stuck the virus get stuck. but if you think about it, it is pretty cool that the atoms are bombarding the virus and actually make the change direction constantly.

[@algebrainz5989]

Medical bs has been circulating forever, I am fortunate I live in an age where a doctor can directly confront it in a free and public forum

3:41 Because the assistants who buy the food are overworked and underpaid, so obviously they miss some things.
