Hey man, I’ve commented on your other videos because I am a rare medical case myself. I had PSC liver disease and frequently admitted for bacteria in blood. The only cure was transplant. 2 years of dealing with stents and strictures I finally got transplanted (April 2020) when covid hit the US. They DURING THE SURGERY found lymphoma, and that a vast majority of my liver was cancerous, but never showed up on any scans. Being a doctor you know that I would have never gotten transplanted. This is apparently, 1 out of 5 documented cases in the word that this has happened. I thought that you’d find that in intriguing since you deal with odd cases. Love your videos man, keep it up. People are fascinated with medicine and love outlets like this.
I love how she describes the mutations as superpowers, it's a very apt metaphor that makes an instant understanding-connection to anyone who has seen anything related to superheroes/villains. It's truly a great way to understand.
It's a really fitting analogy as the telomeres of cancer cells don't shorten when there is cellular mitosis. This is unlike all other cells in the body, making them essentially immortal. It also means that you can't really "wait out" a cancer.

@@akshinbarathi8914 the problem with cancer cells is, they "forgot" how to die when their genome gets partially scrambled and worse, ignore both cellular signaling for when to grow or stop reproducing and signals that tell them where to live within the body. So, cells that ignore signals that tell them that they're malfunctioning and should die are ignored, the cells reproduce out of control and cells that, as an example, should be part of one's skin end up growing wherever the bloodstream and lymphatic system carries them. And Henrietta Lacks cervical cancer cells are still growing today, despite her dying from her cancer in 1951 and are some of the cells used to test chemotherapy drugs worldwide today.

I once had a Marine tell me that the VA treats them only marginally better than they treated enemy combatants in the field. It's amazing how poorly we treat our veterans.
It's hard to say, but the US - despite the faux patriotism - basically tells veterans "fuck you for your service" to those who have sacrificed their mental and physical health for their country.
To the contrary, I’m a disabled veteran who only uses VA healthcare. I don’t have any other insurance. They have done a great job with me. I think they treat me better than going to the military doctors while I was active duty. There’s so many resources at the VA, but I think most veterans aren’t aware of them. This is just my anecdotal experience.
Rest In Peace to Kate. She recently died last week. She was exposed to and ended up having such horrific things happen to her. I hope the families affected can get closure

"In an interview with the HPR, William Hartung, the Center for International Policy’s Arms and Security Project Director, stated that there is an “excess of usable military equipment relative to any possible need.” In addition to unused aircrafts and helicopters rusting on tarmacs in Afghanistan, parts ripped from working equipment and sold at junkyards, and about 410 tons of functional equipment incinerated in burn pits daily, Hartung said that authorities and contractors have been reckless with their own products. “They’re doing things like destroying perfectly useful items,” he explained. “They also lose track of things. They destroy ammunition that is still functional, and they retire things early.”" Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School

chumbyemmu does cancer patients get diabetes, like technically wont cancer cells be using a lot of sugar do these cancer cells actually have insuolin receptors?
Symptom of diabetes is high sugar present in blood - hyperglycaemia. If the cancer cells take up all sugar in the blood to reproduce, the sugar in blood would become low. The pancreas would produce a different hormone glucagon which does the opposite of insulin increasing the sugar in blood by breaking down tissues. So cancer patients usually loss weights. Insulin actually makes cells take up sugars from blood.
@@akshinbarathi8914 basically yes. All cells need energy and glucose is one of the major sources of energy. If a mutation makes them unable to take up energy, they will die off and won't become cancerous.
@@ffilan1 👍 cancer is the most confusing tyoe of diesase i ve seen. our own cells in a unlimited division forn use all the energy to grow. we should be proud of our boies. so many trilion cells in our body each with detailed mechanism of replication and cell division. not even a single mistake is allowed to take place. the mutated cells are destryoed. nature has created a very inticate and a beautiful body. i live myself just becuase how complex our body is.
@@akshinbarathi8914 Actually, many mistakes are allowed to take place. Mostly, they make no difference, or the cell dies because of it, or is killed for it. Or the mistake is caught and corrected. Only very few and specific errors, namely those linked to cell death and division rates, can not be allowed to take place, for they create cancers, which will be deadly over time. Small nuance, I suppose.

@@HemeReview I assumed that was probably what happened, I still learned more from this video than I did in the entirety of my schooling. Thank you for being an endless source of knowledge.
she's referring to social stigma associated with breast cancer, since in some cases you can see the cancer growing out of the breast. you wouldn't see the same from colorectal, lung, pancreatic, etc
@@sophierobinson2738 I watched it, but maybe I didnt catch where she says how much time she was deployed. At some point I kinda understood it was a single year, and I thought it was extreme, so I doubt and thats the reason I asked. Edit: perhaps it was for a whole year in 2005?
Thing is, cancer, in a way, is a superpower, but the problem is, so far it only mutates into uncontrollable state (cells keep reproducing because of lack of stop sign)
The military in Iraq didn't have a good way to get rid of their garbage? I think it was a cheap and careless way. How about loading it up and sending it away like everyone else has to do?

Dreading all the wildfires affecting the west coast of USA, and how it's getting worse and worse every year... we're all affected as it permeates all coastal cities.
I used to burn Plastic as a kid around 8 ..I would attempt a replicate a toxic waste dump as i was always obsessed with dumps, 😂. I would burn these chemicals and did my best not to inhale but luckily no cancer. Im 28. I'm not sure if the feds really were paying attention because I don't think they would have burned if they knew they'd get burned like this. That's just my opinion not fact.
Man, those burn pits affected men and women, kids and old folks...."Sure, let's pyrolize a bunch of PVC plastic, generate all sorts of PCBs among lots of other mystery substances!)... Yikes!
Why isn't she talking more about epigenetics and the activation and silencing of these genes through methylation? All cancers are started this way, the silencing of the cancer killing epigenetics and the activation of the cancer promotion epigenetics. We know what causes this. Livestyle, diet, stress and pollutants.
Am I the only one so frustrated by how man overly simplistic metaphores she's using, like it's actually making it harder for me to understand like why can't you briefly explain a mutation that allows a cell to escape the cellular matrix, that's way more interesting than just calling it a 'superpower,' & it would be way easier to follow than having to decipher all these euphemisms. edit: she also got the story about cancer-causing green paint wrong (I think). To my knowledge aromatic compounds in the paint weren't responsible for the cancer, it was the radioactive green radium!
Then you do a video explaining it your way. Most people are not avid in medical nomenclature. Mutation=superpower that allows the cell to escape its lane , ergo cellular matrix / plane. Very simple to follow for simple minds, this video is targeted for any audience to understand.
@@esmeesmeralda701 yeah I get that was the intention, but for me I just found it more complicating than helpful, no shade on her tho a lot of other parts of the video don't suffer from that problem nearly as much & she obviously knows what she's talking about.

The f... . Isn't it enough to waste fuel for air craft carriers, tanks and what not and then withdraw with out a solution. No they also pollute the air with improper burning of waste. Yes you will hate it but military *is* waste of time and ressources.
I told her to speak for a general audience. breast cancer is adequately different enough in oncology itself that if she were to speak like she were at ASCO not many could quickly understand
Thank you Doctor for this very informing discussion on breast cancer. A good way to kill cancer is by not ingesting sugar and by controlling the total intake of carbs on a daily basis. The best way to kill cancer is by fasting. I practice prolonged fasting at least twice a year (10 days) to eradicate the possible illnesses in my body. It is said that we “all” have cancer at one time or another and our inmune system doesn’t let it progress and it is destroyed by the body. By following the recommendations of professionals like Dr. Jason Fung, and by using intermittent fasting, I was able to work my way up to 3 days of fasting (which I try to do monthly) and eventually practice prolonged fasting. Fasting helps fight cancer, obesity, diabetes, cancer and many more illnesses! See Jason Fung on RUclips!
Yeah, cancer does take advantage of fast energy sources- but so does the entire body. It's pretty irresponsible to say that fasting can kill something very capable of adapting to take advantage of a host
she is right though! cancer lives off glucose but you can live of ketones and starve off the cancer. fasting 3 days before chemotherapy also reduces side effects and enhances the effect on cancer cells. there is some research on this! fasting helps with regeneration, autophagy, supports the immune system etc.

we should be proud of our boies.
so many trilion cells in our body each with detailed mechanism of replication and cell division.
not even a single mistake is allowed to take place.
the mutated cells are destryoed.
nature has created a very inticate and a beautiful body.
i live myself just becuase how complex our body is.
@@akshinbarathi8914
Actually, many mistakes are allowed to take place.
Mostly, they make no difference, or the cell dies because of it, or is killed for it. Or the mistake is caught and corrected.
Only very few and specific errors, namely those linked to cell death and division rates, can not be allowed to take place, for they create cancers, which will be deadly over time.
Small nuance, I suppose.
Day 8 of asking for a video on 25i-NBOMe cases. Its a very potent experimental psychedelic and radioligand. Unlike most psychedelics its killed people. Also fantastic video btw
What do you mean "Experimental?"
@@yggdrasilburnes Experimental like it's a very new psychedelic and really it was never meant to be one. Most psychedelics have been around long enough and used long enough that we know a fair bit about them. Not so with 25i-NBOMe
RIP KT
I have the same cancer but stage 2 but still HER2+ ER+ PR+ so having Herceptin and 10 weeks weekly chemo lumpectomy 30 sessions radiation and then pills but skin needs to heal from the burns now
It's just so depressing how we keep getting these 'let's do this thing - 20 years later we realize _oop, cancer_ '
I'm glad this video addresses the environmental cause of cancer instead of just pretending it is just a matter of bad luck and misbehaving genes.
What happens to men who were exposed to the burn pits?
doesnt appear to be uniform across the board. we have reports of other cancers, including prostate and pancreatic. new rheumatisms in others. acute lung injury. and a recent article where jet fuel was found in the lungs of someone who had a double lung transplant
I think men can get breast cancer too, but I'm sure Dr Bernard can clarify on that
@@wentoneisendon6502 Yep. To give a really simple explanation, men have all the same tissue that women do, but they don't generally produce enough estrogen to turn them into boobs.
@@wentoneisendon6502 Yes they can. Also even with breasts removed cancer can develop in the chest wall
Volume seemed quite low to me for this episode
I agree. Alas, getting older sucks 😔
@@Naptosis lol its not an age thing. It's a technical issue with the recording.
it seemed alright , just increase volumes or use headphones 👍🏻
@@0h.manzzang304 is bad production practice. It's better if he makes necessary adjustments in his production than to have to force listeners to increase levels beyond normal levels.
@@0h.manzzang304 my volume was maxed on my phone and on the earphones I tried.
Great talk and very accessible
Please do a video on ethylene glycol poisoning.
I did it last year. snow globe
@@HemeReview Awesome! Thank you! 🙏🏻 I didn’t realize that was in the snow globe!
Also lava lamp
Except that's actually about polyethylene glycol.
Impressive indictment of how veterans are treated. They systematically train people from youth, and yet couldn't be bothered to teach about the dangers of producing toxic chemicals via burning. Not like it's our tax dollars being painstakingly rationed on conditions that people shouldn't even have...
Good ole American government not giving 2 shits about the young men and women fighting and dying for their country.
There is a special place reserved in hell for the leadership who knowingly allow this kind of betrayal of our brave and selfless troops. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿
I wish to be as intelligent as this doctor 😍
very informative!
I very much appreciate the explanation and awareness and I don't doubt that Dr. Lim is an extremely competent medical professional but honestly I'm really lost about that bit concerning Avengers finding new superpowers to choose Chinese food
Yea I honestly thought that metaphor was rather pandering, not at all on par with the normal terminology of this channel. That being said it was still a great video.
my fault. I told her general audience, so she spoke to my direction
@@HemeReview I assumed that was probably what happened, I still learned more from this video than I did in the entirety of my schooling. Thank you for being an endless source of knowledge.
What does she mean by image of the breast causing issues. (More specifically what is the image of the breast)
she's referring to social stigma associated with breast cancer, since in some cases you can see the cancer growing out of the breast. you wouldn't see the same from colorectal, lung, pancreatic, etc
@@HemeReview How much time was she deployed and exposed to these burning pits?
Phroden Dekia If you look at the other video about her, it explains it.
@@phrodendekia All Day, Everyday For Her Deployment and Oncologists Researching Said It Was True
@@sophierobinson2738 I watched it, but maybe I didnt catch where she says how much time she was deployed. At some point I kinda understood it was a single year, and I thought it was extreme, so I doubt and thats the reason I asked.
Edit: perhaps it was for a whole year in 2005?
Great video!
My god! How men change when breast disappears 😓 or any illness hits! It's very sad
The cells in the breast are PACKED
Do a video on kids taking sarms
Cool stuff.
Thing is, cancer, in a way, is a superpower, but the problem is, so far it only mutates into uncontrollable state (cells keep reproducing because of lack of stop sign)
Never been so early
You guys could’ve touched on male breast cancer men are so unaware it still can happen
Very interesting information
imagine breathing black smoke and thinking everything is fine.
@Kate Hendricks Thomas even if it clearly meant a rapidly shortening life span?
@Kate Hendricks Thomas and they took advantage of that...I'm so sorry
Any chance you could do a COVID-19 update, since more information is available.
Nah. I think people are sick of hearing about covid now, myself included.
The military in Iraq didn't have a good way to get rid of their garbage? I think it was a cheap and careless way. How about loading it up and sending it away like everyone else has to do?
I honestly thought that superhero metaphor was rather pandering, not at all on par with the normal terminology of this channel. That being said it was still a great video, very sad, but also very interesting.
I don’t think pandering is the word you meant. It is a little out of place, but it’s probably how she explained to patients
@@savegalkissy if she explained it as a megalodonblastomatypetyingy your brain stops working. Its a skill to explain nuclear physics to a lumberjack which she has. Its not pandering. When people are in fight or fight response which they probably are visiting a cancer physician talking to them like children must be applauded
@@Jabarri74 pandering is absolutely the word I meant, we're not going in there for a diagnosis they don't need to step on eggshells when recording a video for an audience that's already very medically inclined.
@@TWBIAP there is no guarantee this audience is medically inclined. RUclips recommendations give these out to whoever lol.
Also pandering is still not the right word. It means to indulge or humor, specially with connotations of doing so only to please people or gain points with them. Might you mean unsophisticated or simple?
@@Jabarri74 someone make megalodonblaatomatypethingy into an official medical term please
But yeah I agree
Dreading all the wildfires affecting the west coast of USA, and how it's getting worse and worse every year... we're all affected as it permeates all coastal cities.
I used to burn
Plastic as a kid around 8 ..I would attempt a replicate a toxic waste dump as i was always obsessed with dumps, 😂. I would burn these chemicals and did my best not to inhale but luckily no cancer. Im 28. I'm not sure if the feds really were paying attention because I don't think they would have burned if they knew they'd get burned like this. That's just my opinion not fact.
And I'm not known to trust them to begin with.😮
Man, those burn pits affected men and women, kids and old folks...."Sure, let's pyrolize a bunch of PVC plastic, generate all sorts of PCBs among lots of other mystery substances!)...
Yikes!
This was lacking in discussion on male breast cancer
Why isn't she talking more about epigenetics and the activation and silencing of these genes through methylation? All cancers are started this way, the silencing of the cancer killing epigenetics and the activation of the cancer promotion epigenetics. We know what causes this. Livestyle, diet, stress and pollutants.
Am I the only one so frustrated by how man overly simplistic metaphores she's using, like it's actually making it harder for me to understand like why can't you briefly explain a mutation that allows a cell to escape the cellular matrix, that's way more interesting than just calling it a 'superpower,' & it would be way easier to follow than having to decipher all these euphemisms.
edit: she also got the story about cancer-causing green paint wrong (I think). To my knowledge aromatic compounds in the paint weren't responsible for the cancer, it was the radioactive green radium!
Then you do a video explaining it your way. Most people are not avid in medical nomenclature. Mutation=superpower that allows the cell to escape its lane , ergo cellular matrix / plane. Very simple to follow for simple minds, this video is targeted for any audience to understand.
@@esmeesmeralda701 yeah I get that was the intention, but for me I just found it more complicating than helpful, no shade on her tho a lot of other parts of the video don't suffer from that problem nearly as much & she obviously knows what she's talking about. I just found that particular thing oddly annoying lol
@@esmeesmeralda701 mutations are taught around grade 8/year 9, wouldn't be much of a stretch at all.
@@da14a49 most people don’t remember that, especially if they have already graduated and it’s been 10+yrs. I know for a fact we learned chemistry in year 9 but have 0 recollection about it. Also simple algebra idk what it is but all my math knowledge from year 6-8 is gone but I have retained my post graduate math. Also for some reason I cannot describe the dang erosion and deposits rock life cycle HAHAHA but can totally talk about coral structures all day and microorganisms and their biology but that’s just me ranting in short the same thing could be said about cell anatomy and life cycle for others it’s just not retained information.
@@littlewickedone it’s chill dude I understand, my partner legit said something really condescending the other day like “you dream when you sleep…. If that makes any sense” and I was so offended and annoyed . Like of course that makes sense freaking asshole but they’re just silly .
I wish we could control the cancer cells somehow, we could become immortal if we do 🙂
The doctor is so pretty
so. she still farts..
You misspelled "smart" there
@@MrNicoJac she's pretty and smart
Gotta say, I found it weird that Dr. Lim chose to use the word "superpower," and was annoyed enough that she kept hammering that over and over that it eventually was too much for me to see the rest.
Because that IS the term used for this. Not a term she made up.
Gib discussion on 23 bananas 🥺
The f... . Isn't it enough to waste fuel for air craft carriers, tanks and what not and then withdraw with out a solution. No they also pollute the air with improper burning of waste. Yes you will hate it but military *is* waste of time and ressources.
hi
I've waited three hours. Can we please have actual English subtitle.
The super power analogy gets kinda condescending really quickly.
I told her to speak for a general audience. breast cancer is adequately different enough in oncology itself that if she were to speak like she were at ASCO not many could quickly understand
I think it's fine. Most of us are lay men here
@Heme Review I think it's fine. Don't worry
Thank you Doctor for this very informing discussion on breast cancer.
A good way to kill cancer is by not ingesting sugar and by controlling the total intake of carbs on a daily basis. The best way to kill cancer is by fasting. I practice prolonged fasting at least twice a year (10 days) to eradicate the possible illnesses in my body. It is said that we “all” have cancer at one time or another and our inmune system doesn’t let it progress and it is destroyed by the body. By following the recommendations of professionals like Dr. Jason Fung, and by using intermittent fasting, I was able to work my way up to 3 days of fasting (which I try to do monthly) and eventually practice prolonged fasting. Fasting helps fight cancer, obesity, diabetes, cancer and many more illnesses! See Jason Fung on RUclips!
What nonsense
Yeah, cancer does take advantage of fast energy sources- but so does the entire body. It's pretty irresponsible to say that fasting can kill something very capable of adapting to take advantage of a host
she is right though! cancer lives off glucose but you can live of ketones and starve off the cancer. fasting 3 days before chemotherapy also reduces side effects and enhances the effect on cancer cells. there is some research on this! fasting helps with regeneration, autophagy, supports the immune system etc.

Lets all thank KT for sacrificing her health for the great cause of Israel's prosperity
Interesting video but I'm gonna forget all of this in like 2 hours so..
Why do you make every video twice?
this is the full interview. I said it at the beginning.
It should be standard practice to have natural breasts removed and replaced with fakes. This would eliminate the cancer and still keep the men happy.
13:50 what does this have to do with the cancer? please stay professional, noone cares about their private life
stay mad
@@Konataizumi122435 yeah man, I don't want these damn lemons! what am I supposed to do with these?
because mental health and stress have no impact on the body whatsoever, naturally
@@JuliusUnique make lemonade duh?
@@koganusan satire? I mean if you are depressed you can become self destructive so mental disorders can influence your health just not directly. Actually depression is an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain so that is basically a part of your physicsl health sorta so it can also influence your health directly?
