Strange Addictions That Landed Them In The Hospital

i'm addicted to coffee enemas for the past two years trina hasn't been able to function without her daily coffee enemas a procedure where liquid is injected into the colon to clean out the lower intestine her addiction is so intense she does up to four every day okay let's just do it right off the bat coffee enemas have not been proven to help with any medical condition in like the 60s 70s we used to say maybe for constipation but that's been dropped from medical literature we have so many better ways of handling constipation that this is largely unnecessary they're saying coffee animals are used to clean your colons no they're not it's a self-cleansing part of the body my initial reaction was my god that's disgusting pretty judgmental response i tried it and now i'm addicted to coffee oh two years ago trina turned to this unconventional ritual after a series of health issues i had a lot of stomach problems digestive problems problems with my kidney my liver i started to do research and it led me into the coffee enemas immediately i really started to feel the benefits it's understandable someone that is having symptoms who's struggling looking to find answers online finds a treatment that is within their grasp something that they can do on their own and tries it that doesn't mean it's the right treatment or it's something that most people should try my concern is that there's something else going on in these people's bodies that can be missed and potentially get worse over time because they're not seeing a doctor problems with kidneys needs to be investigated because if kidneys start failing that's a threat to your own life my name is julius i'm 62 years old and i'm addicted to balloons i love balloons they're beautiful they're soft smooth delicate i have a connection with them is this like going to be similar to what we've seen in the previous episodes of like objectophilia or even atomism where you believe that certain physical and inanimate objects have a soul or spirit or maybe you become even sexually attracted to them i'm curious now julius has filled his home with over 50 000 balloons unless he's surrounded by them my favorite is the spherical ones honestly i don't see what's wrong with this yet he likes decorating his house with balloons some people like painting their walls i don't know they put wallpaper on some people put paper on their walls teach their own but julius's obsession with balloons goes beyond shapes and colors my love for balloons it's also a sexual love when i see a beautiful balloon my heart starts to flutter and i get aroused i'll take a 12 inch and i'll inflate it 11 inch that way it can take a lot of use there's a potential connection between objectophilia atomism and autism that one study tried to explore and i'm interested in exploring that subject to see how connected those two conditions are my wife thinks it's strange but she accepted again like you have a job you have a partner you live a good life you take care of your health and you're sexually attracted to balloons not really a disorder disorders are based on ability to perform life functions get satisfaction in life reach goals in life let him sit in his room and blow up balloons and squeeze them like what's the why why is he even a thing on this show it's kind of weird more power to you sir i'm addicted to about injections [Music] i'm curious if this is butt injections through like a bbl where they do liposuction then re-inject the fat carmellos had 54 butt injections yet she's never bared her behind to a plastic surgeon she receives her shots on the black market getting pumped with an unregulated substance that's been known to include metal lubricant and cement yeah i mean that's really dangerous there's so much that can go wrong here this isn't a traditional bbl um even bbl's are dangerous like one in three thousand individuals who has a bbl has a complication of a fatty embolism the fat actually gets lodged into their blood vessels and can be lethal if it travels all the way up to the lungs i've actually had patients that have had huge huge complications as a result of bad injections like this they were done abroad in other countries but then they ended up getting a terrible cellulitis abscess formation in the buttock area where like major surgery had to take place to take out the necrotic tissue dead tissue so they ended up losing a part of their buttock what brings you in today dr yoon welcome back to the channel do you have any idea what she injected you with did she tell you i had liquid silicone okay but i'm not sure if that's really what it was did she do anything afterwards i mean did she stitch up the incisions she put superglue there are times we use glue in medical settings in the er but not for deep wounds not for big wounds not for wounds that could potentially become severely infected so like there's a time and place for all medical tools and that's not the place for super glue you can see here this is your thigh the fat in your thigh which is smooth and normal but up here it looks kind of spongy this texture and that's definitely not normal so even though you're healthy it just takes one bad injection to literally kill you oh that's good i'm glad she was able to decide not to do that again my name is casey i'm 26 years old i'm from fayetteville tennessee and i'm addicted to carrying around my husband's urn their marriage was picture perfect until sean suffered a severe asthma attack two months ago two months ago it's recent why why are they not letting this woman bereave in peace like her addiction has recently evolved i guess with the transfer of his cremains you know some got into the cardboard box as well and they spilled out on my hands and i didn't want to wipe wipe them off because that's my husband i don't want to wipe him away um so i just licked it off my fingers infectious disease wise it's her husband so very low risk there and the body's been cremated so all infectious diseases would essentially be wiped out as well it tastes like rotten eggs sand and sandpaper but i've grown to love that taste i wonder if there's a pica condition here happening i'm a little bit concerned about what's in embalming fluid and i'm a little bit concerned about how much of those chemicals are in those ashes oh i did not know that that was the case if there was embalming fluid used formaldehyde is the main ingredient in embalming fluid and that is very lethal i think one ounce of formaldehyde can be lethal to your lungs throat nervous system like there's a lot of issues with that and then the other ingredients in embalming fluid is like methanol ethanol things that can lead to blindness brain damage like that's a really serious concern if you are trying to deal with the reality of this and to help yourself i'm afraid that you're not going to be able to as long as you're eating ashes because you're eating a substance that would make you lose touch with reality i think that's probably ideal for own safety at that point it definitely took a turn from carrying her husband's ashes which i find not to be a medical issue to her consuming embalming fluid and ashes that could become a medical issue and it's something that threatens her life and now now it's become a disorder my name is margaret and i'm 53 years old i live in morningview kentucky and i'm addicted to stinging myself with bees kind of means of the bee because doesn't the bee die after it's thing soothed margaret has been addicted to bee stings for the past 10 years [Music] it could be an endorphin rush because when you do experience pain when your body tries to relieve that pain it sends endorphins to try and decrease the pain her addiction started innocently as a way to relieve her arthritis you know there is um some preliminary evidence weak evidence i'd call it of b venom helping individuals with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis however when you compare it to the treatments that we have now you can get better outcomes with less side effects and most importantly less pain first time that i stung myself it didn't hurt as bad as i thought it would and it just got easier every time and it's great that she doesn't have a b allergy i mean some individuals they get stung their whole arm blows up their mouth can even blow up they can go into anaphylaxis people carry epipens for bees and you know even though allergies are more likely to happen early in life they can develop later in life as well but every time margaret stings herself the honeybee dies something margaret is all too aware of every bee is precious i get sad when i watch them die i prefer to get an older bee the younger bees they've got their lives ahead of them and it helps me feel less guilt about killing the bees it's a sad situation to see because i would love for her to find pain relief in a way where it's not damaging to the bees to her mental health and potentially gives her it can give her longer lasting relief um depending on what the cause of her arthritis is did you hear about the japanese eyeball looking trend that's right click here for my full video talking all about it you're going to learn a lot as always stay happy and healthy
