there's a ton of terrible medical advice online but some of the worst has been on Tik Tok and by worst I don't always mean just inaccurate I mean Flatout dangerous butter R don't go together dip that thing in there dip it dip it dip it oh not only is that really not tasty the saturated fat inside there that's terrible the arteries are screaming I feel it now this combo smack I got to try it smack what how to stop your period for an emergency what two shots of squeezed lime juice Tajin powder what is Tajin powder do for flavor guys I had to come back to give you an update because holy guacamole it works no if it doesn't have hormones in it I don't understand how it could possibly work the menstrual cycle does experience regularities naturally like if you travel if you're around other individuals you can actually see fluctuations a few days apart it's not exact each month so the fact that she had a one day difference in her metal cycle I don't think it's due to this like little tequila shot or whatever it was that she took oh syal guy okay so this is literally an oil that you inject in order to increase the size of your muscle bodybuilders sometimes use this please don't do this you don't not understand how dangerous this is for your body like vasculitis muscle rupture infection and it's also ridiculous looking I don't know if you see this haters will say it doesn't work I'm convinced that if you put a base onscreen of SPF 30 on and then SPF 90 on all the spots that you would put highlighter on the sun will Contour your face where youd put bronzer and you'll be naturally snatched all summer check this out you could put High SPF everywhere on your face and prevent it from aging prematurely keep your skin healthy nons Sunburn and then you could put makeup and make yourself as beautiful and highlighter and shaped and snatched as you wish to be five organs five exercises to help you restore those organ functions please be ically accurate please heart you're going to pound inside these are the nerves that connected to your heart these are the nerves that are connected to your heart these are the this is the skin this is the muscle and there are nerves here that are not connected to your heart what are we even talking about right now slap your arm slap it slap it slap it you know what's a good exercise for your heart jogging lungs open up the chest lungs so he's saying to breathe okay as ridiculous as that one looks I'll still give him a pass on that you're going to do the chaa for your digestive system this is for your spleen your stomach the spleen is not a digestive organ going to do the thrust for your kidneys thrust for your kidneys what just drink enough water stay well hydrated sleep well get some exercise and eat some plants and vegetables you don't eat to thrust what is this a stretch [Music] I guess she's using the dumbbells in order to keep the legs stretched out I actually have a lot of pain in that area when I stretch so maybe I need to improve my flexibility but remember too much flexibility is not always the answer and over stretching can actually be a problem drinking sparkling water isn't considered water what definitional water is fish must swiming it okay this is he's this is a Saturday Night Live skin sparkling water is not high sodium but it is has a deep mineral content deep the depth of its mineral content makes it not water so best bet is always water first definition of water is fish must swim in it water first is a fine Mantra but fish must swim in it is ridiculous because fish swim in salt waterer and if you drink salt waterer oh boy you're going to be in for some troubles so I decided to go get a colonic don't ask me the scientific definition the scientific definition is that you don't need a colonic that's like the end of it oh my gosh this hurts so bad it hurts don't do it they are dangerous there is no no benefit to them people think it cleanses them out no your body is a natural cleansing system the surface of your intestines regularly sheds and leaves you don't have like poop buildup that sits in there for years on end what I have a feeling this guy's Russian cuz he said o and that's like a Russian thing but why is he hitting him did he do something mean to his family this is insane he's hitting him with a Mallet and a piece of wood on a napkin this goes to show how BS this is so he palpates the spine and then all of a sudden he lifts his hands off and then randomly applies the little pad and the wooden thing my man you already let go and you already don't see where you palpated you're making it up you're lying that honestly this is a crime I've never gone as far as saying that on a Tik Tok or any medical reaction video this is a full-on CME there's a big difference you do not inhale cigars okay it's just a puff and never goes into your lungs okay that is just like factually untrue there's smoke all around you that you're inhaling in fact secondhand and third hand smoke is really dangerous from Cigars Cigars can even be more dangerous than cigarettes chances of getting certain types of cancers go up four to tfold so no they are not safer than cigarettes that's just like a complete myth you put Garlic up your D It's supposed to cleanse your sinuses no they don't cleanse your sinuses cuz they're garlic so far there's a little bit of snot trailing out around the nostril holes so um if you're sick you have snot and that's what's happening I feel a lot of congestion right up in here because you plugged your nose with the garlic yeah that's all the snot that would have come out had she not put those in there it's an irritant to your nasal passageways you don't need to do that if you want to clear your snot out use nasal saline this is a complete myth it just does not work hey what you doing I need PE so bad but these people have been in here for like 45 minutes 45 minutes might want to look elsewhere for a bathroom you should start thinking about sex really F no dude I'm being serious it tricks your brain and relieves some of the pressure distraction when you need to pee and you can't go in that given moment Works whether you think about that whether you think about what's going on next week will distract you and allow you to think about something else I want this migraine to kill me come on stick your hands in this ice water it'll help no just let me die ice water water okay fine fine ice for migraines has been tested and has found some relief and success in some patients to me it's like a low-risk thing as long as you're not doing any harm to your body and it could take some of that pressure off and the headache pain down by all means it's like a really lowrisk way to try and do that did you know that all the top athletes are not drinking this stuff what because I found out that Gatorade is actually very very acidic you have lemon flavor G this right here actually promotes inflammation promotes aging and it promotes injury because once the body goes acidic it cannot heal the body keeps a very tight range of its pH very tight 7.35 to 7.45 if it starts gently coming out of that range and becoming more acidic even slightly it could be lethal so drinking Gatorade does not make your body go acidic because if it drops your pH to below seven every time you have a Gatorade you would be dead that's why Health gurus really frustrate me and confuse the life out of me because on one hand they tell you to take antioxidants like vitamin C cuz they say they're so good for you on the other hand they tell you to avoid acid of any kind because it's so dangerous do you know what vitamin C is it's a sorbic [Music] acid do you have a stuffy congested toddler I'm going to show you how to clear them out blow out of one side of their nostril make sure their mouth is shut hold her mouth M blow moms are so creative cute video not the method I would recommend use uh a suction tool like a bulb pushing it out sometimes carries risk you're moving bacteria around the airway the child can choke on the snot plus remember your mouth has a bunch of bacteria in it that you're putting into your child's mouth so suction is always better in this scenario than blowing air in this technique does work sometimes breathing in a child's mouth if your child has something stuck in their nostril closing the other nostril breathing into the child's mouth for me if something stuck your child's nose go to the ER like that's the safest way to get it [Music] out that looks like a keloid scar basically choid is after you get any kind of damage to your skin Cuts punctures Etc you could actually form excess collagen in the form of a choid like this uh it does happen in younger people more often like ages 10 to 30 darker skinn individuals have 10 to 20% higher rates of this as well why does a hot bath burn more belly fat than jogging for an hour it doesn't imbalanced hormones what what hey my name is Dr Jade TAA and you're probably thinking to yourself what is a big Burly linebacker looking guy like me my man have you seen a linebacker women looking to lose weight especially in their midsection may want to pay more attention to foods and activities that balance hormones based on their unique hormone type and he's going to sell you exactly what their unique hormone type can benefit from take my unique hormone type quiz because a hormone type 2 needs a different approach a hormone type two that I just made up than a hormone type [Music] 6 my man said type six what happened to 1 three 4 and five and seven I I I want to be smart enough as a doctor to come up with my own hormone [Applause] [Music] types you definitely want to sanitize the area before you do any kind of micron I me that's smart if you're going to be making abrasions in your skin so much can go wrong especially on the face I just wouldn't trust a random device bought off the internet kind of felt like getting a tattoo had only a couple spots that bled just a teeny tiny bit people really trust these things being a family medicine doctor not a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist when a patient comes in with even a small laceration that requires sutures on the face I'm always hesitant to do it because I want to make sure that it's as less scarring as possible happening so I let someone with a lot more experience do it these people are just like doing micro needling on themselves with no fear oh not ear candling there's a warning from the FDA to not do [Music] this so This is BS because this has been tested and we actually see no suction happening as a result of the flame we also see that that is residue of the actual paraffin wax or beeswax that is inside this candle thing because we see the same residue on these candles that have not been put into ears on top of that do you know how many of my colleagues have treated burns from this ear wax nonsense oh my God life-saving advice from movies that can actually kill you according to Hollywood if someone is passed out with no pulse you should straddle them give them mouth to mouth and beat on their chest yeah don't beat on people's chest don't give them mouth to mouth if someone's passed out all you have to do is chest compression chest compression chest compression not saying CPR doesn't work but it only works like 2 to 4% of the time and when properly performed you usually end up cracking the person's rib cage my man is confused here because he's saying pounding on their chest versus performing chest compressions is both CPR factually untrue the purpose of Performing CPR is not to bring someone back it's to buy time so other interventions can be done like giving them medications like epinephrine or perhaps bringing a defibrillator along because the reason you're pumping on someone's chest is to circulate the blood that's already in their body that that has some oxygen still left in it and the breaking of the ribs no big deal why because the person is already dead so if you can extend their possibility of being brought back to life by breaking a rib Fair trade-off wouldn't you say beating up misinformation or beating up other boxers click here announcing my boxing career right there click it I'm a serious boxer getting better with each day who's going to be my first fight leave a link down below leave a comment down below don't know what I'm saying stay happy and both [Music]
