I LOVED your reaction to the cayenne pepper lady. I'm right there with you it makes my blood boil to no end to see people spread their stupidity like wildfire.

[@nxcrorat]

Exactly! And another thing that pisses me off is that there's no balance in these kinds of opinion Like, if you have a mild migraine and apply peppermint oil, since it's a really pungent herb, that will stimulate blood flow and help a little Does it make it a blood thinner that can save you from life-threatening conditions? Absolutely not, take your meds Like arnica gel for sore muscles, it's natural and it works but if you're experiencing calcification then you're gonna need much more than that😭 I wish there were more balance simply to avoid becoming collectively immune to most antibiotics and such, my mother's a nurse and she raised me like that Edit: Mike is also suggesting natural things at 6:01 so that makes me feel happier about my comment XD

[@LeviAckerman096]

What makes it even worse, is that some people might genuinely believe that "information" and people could die a very preventable death because of it. It makes me sick, these people don't even think about what kind of harm they're causing.

That first segment reminded me of something I was told once, when I was feeling disheartened by the low success rate of CPR outside of the hospital.

Glad that you mentioned the hypoglycemic possibility. I had a scare when i was 14 or 15 where my parents rushed me to the hospital because they thought I was having a stroke. The hospital, oddly enough, ever checked my blood sugar. It took four people, thirty minutes, and six poke for two IVs, and the never checked my blood sugar. When I was discharged, they said it was a migraine and dehydration. The real issue? My blood sugar was way too low. My dad's side of the family has a history of hypoglycemia and I have Tourette Syndrome (people with TS tend to also have issues with low blood sugar).

Urgent care said it was a muscle related issue and gave me muscle relaxers. A couple of hours later the pain was so intense that I went to the emergency room because I knew something else was wrong.

I caught dysentery in South America once & totally see how people die from it. After 2 days I thought it was a definite possibility I could die. When I went to the hospital and they started me on a drip I could feel the life force coming back into me (despite still feeling like death). After a day the dehydration has a huge impact on you and there is nothing you can do to fix it bc when you drink it either triggers your body to throw it back up or you immediately run to the toilet because of diarrhea. You have about 10 seconds to get to a toilet when you feel diarrhea coming on. It’s that bad. Your guts gurgle like a waterfall and it’s so watery you can’t hold it in. Even thinking about it now is making me shudder. Edit: I caught c-diff from having to take antibiotics for a long stretch bc I was a carrier for strep. As bad as c-diff is I still had about a minute to make it to the toilet when I felt diarrhea coming on. The dysentery diarrhea was worse. The difference was dysentery weakens & your body fights it off (hopefully before dehydration kills you) while c-diff only gets worse and will kill you. I had to take 2 courses of phlagyl twice and it came back within a day then took vancomycin which thankfully cured it bc this was before they had the fecal transplant treatment. If it hadn’t worked I would’ve been in big trouble and probably died.

That point about false extrapolation of statistics is SO important. That error isn't just made intentionally by hucksters, but unintentionally ALL the time by well-meaning media outlets.

[@corvidaesystem]

I know I'm extremely late, but I've gone bungee jumping twice (once with a harness around my torso and one with the cord wrapped around my ankles) and both of those times when i reached the bottom, there wasn't any sort of jolt. It was always so smooth how it lifted me back up, almost as if you're on a very big swing but you don't actually have to do anything. It's terrifying when you're standing at the edge of a bridge and for the first few seconds of falling, but after you see your whole life flash before your eyes and make peace with death (the first time you go bungee jumping) it's actually really nice and pleasant, especially if you have a good view. Would definitely recommend

[@asterismW]

Yes, exactly! What Dr. Mike doesn't understand is that you come to a stop at the end of the cord; there's zero acceleration. Thus you're not being whipped back up in the other direction while still plummeting. The changes in acceleration happen so quickly that it _looks_ like you're snapping up while still falling, but you're not. It's very smooth, not jarring at all. Skydiving is actually way worse, because there you _are_ changing direction at speed once your parachute opens. It doesn't cause whiplash because the direction of motion is in line with your neck, but that harness sure hurts!

[@burnkingssn7659]

I like Dr. Mike's medical takes and I think his nutritional takes should be more informative like how there are good transfats and bad transfats. Good transfats are full of healthy cholesterol, buterate, fat soluble vitamins D, A, K, E, and other beneficial compounds. Comparing coconut oil, MCTs, grass fed red meat fat, butters, and milk fats to corn fed animal transfats, especially chicken and pork, is like comparing the health benefits of the carbs or sugars in common sugar vs carrots.

[@wherearetheblanketshans8501]

what I didn't understand about that, is that the man said "there's ketones in coconut oil". But you can find ketones in the blood of someone with diabetes, so that point was crappy

Concerning precordial catch syndrome, I used to get this ALL THE TIME! Even now nearing middle age I still get it at least a few times a year. I'd get about a third of a breath and get hit by a stabbing pain and be unable to breathe in further. For me I found the best way to deal with it was to force the issue and breath in hard. I'd hit the 1/3rd mark and then as I passed it I would feel this intense pain(9-9.5 out of 10) and then a pop or snap and suddenly the pain would be gone. It was that or shallow breath for hours. I used to have to do this every other week in my 20's and even monthly in my 30's.

[@VictoriaRoseIsNotDeadYet]

I never knew there was a name for it until now! I’m glad I’m not dying haha

[@KonekoNaru]

I couldn’t do that, my go-to method has always been shallow breaths and trying to slowly but surely increase the depth. But being real careful and if the pain gets too strong I’d start over basically, how do you force yourself? My body wouldn’t even let me.. 😩

Wow. Mike is legit intense at certain points in this video. You can tell he's legitimately angry, and not just mugging/overreacting for the camera.

[@lillybarnett4027]

Uhh he has a very beautiful and very much existent beard thank you very much. It's just trimmed nicely:)

[@MegCazalet]

3:30 This is SORTA related to how Houdini died. He’d built up his ab muscles and was supposedly able to easily take bare-fisted punches right to the stomach. A young man asked if he could punch him, and Houdini agreed, but the young man punched him multiple times before Houdini had a chance to flex and brace himself. The punches then allegedly damaged his appendix and stomach, and Houdini died several days later. It’s not certain the the punches to the stomach and the peritonitis are directly related, but it’s the generally accepted story of why he died so young, just 52 years old. He began having symptoms almost immediately after the incident, but it may have been a coincidence. And he may have gotten medical attention sooner had he not been punched right in the gut and chalked up his discomfort to that and that alone. Moral: don’t let someone throw a tire, medicine ball, or fist into your abs unless you’re fully prepared.

[@dr.drishti]

Dr. Mike is just so entertaining and educational. I'm laughing and learning so much. Today is the first day I ever heard of precordial catch syndrome talked about. I suffered from it for all of my childhood and my doctors shamed me by saying I was faking it to get off school since all my tests were normal. Obviously all my tests would be normal. The problem was with my pleura. Anyway, I only learned about it while prepping for my USMLE exams and I was so shocked and heartbroken at the same time. Dr. Mike is really an amazing person and the best doctor. He is smart, intelligent and charming too. I would trust him with everything.

[@lavieestunsonge4541]

I loved Dr.Mike calling bs on these, glaringly, erroneous claims by those without any expertise in the medical field. And, he’s so cute when he gets angry! It’s adorable! ❤

I once looked up the ingredients of my favourite flavoured water here in Italy. It's a lemon flavoured water just like a standard lemonade. And one of the ingredients was asorbic acid. Dumb me thought it was some kind of preservatives or weird chemical. And when I looked it up it came up with vitamin C. Which made me laugh uncontrollably at my stupidity. Sometimes things sound worse than they are.

[@Anopano3000]

I remember my mum told me all e-numbers are bad. Turns out, baking soda is e-500, so what she said doesn't hold water!

[@bobd2659]

"Dumb" you was also right! In addition to being Vitamin C, it's also used a food preservative! Though citric acid, also natural, is usually used more since it does the same thing, is generally cheaper to produce/extract, and has a more tart/sour taste - what you want for lemon water!

I thought I got a stroke, or something. Especially, that, at first, I have lost the sensation of my right side only... 🤷 I hope the girl had something similar and is ok now :)

[@MyHedHertz]

Just from a physics standpoint, the idea behind bungee jumping is that the cable is elastic enough that you don't get substantially jerked. You're in freefall when the rope is slack, but when you reach the end of the rope, much like a rubber band, it stretches - a LOT - and you get gradually slowed down (or at least, significantly more gradually than gravitational acceleration). If there's equipment failure of course the outcome is rather different, but that's pretty rare and mostly avoidable with proper maintenance. I, for one, would love to go bungee jumping at some point.

In 11:58 he said gallbladder because in some martial arts, like Kyusho Jitsu, they use the organs to name some strains of nerves on other parts of the body. By counting they named these vital points. For that reason there is as an example "Liver 9" around the knee. The movement of the leg or arm during the TLoc can be a myoclonus, which weren't very unusual during a syncope. So this hasn't to be acting.

None of them went completely through but there was one that, if it hadn't gotten caught by the back door hinge, it would've gone through the driver's side headrest. The person who actually committed the hit and run, to my knowledge, was never actually caught even though the suspected car (we found out it was the actual car that did it) was reported several times. But they did try to arrest my ex on a hit and run even though he wasn't even on the same portion of the road it was committed on. He was going the complete opposite direction.
