Fish must swim in it... I’m a civil engineer. I design waterlines for a living. I can say with utmost confidence, if there are fish swimming in the pressurized lines that provide water to your home you should contact your local water department.
Municipal tap water also has chlorine in it in some places, meaning fish can't live in straight tap water, period. You have to add a special chemical that neutralizes the chlorine.
You simply don't understand. When the aliens brought the sea water with it's shallow mineral content the fish preferred it to the sparkling water...with the deep mineral content. C'mon. You need to put your foil hat on and escape to Puma Punku or the pyramids and commune with the aliens before the government gets you. 🤣🤣🤣 (deeeeeeeeep mineral content)
I remember taking a CPR class with the sweetest little nurse. And I remember her telling us, in the most deadpan voice, don't worry about hurting them because they're dead.
I mean it’s good advice. Too many people worry about cracking a dead person’s ribs when you could literally save their life by giving CPR. A cracked rib is a minor inconvenience.
1:07 He sadly passed away most presumably of side effects from injecting oil into his muscles Do Not Do This it could seriously hurt you. Work hard nothing cosmetic is worth your health
As someone who went to medical school I feel this on a spiritual level whenever I'm overhearing a conversation about health from random uneducated people. Especially when I overhear them telling me what I should do to help myself.
I feel you too 😭. This happens a lott and then I'm annoyed...I start giving them the actual advice and then they get jealous for no reason...they somehow still think that what they said was right 😂
Im only 17 and haven’t gotten any medical education or anything like that but even I know these things are just insane. I do a lot of research about mental health and I’ll even talk to my therapist about the research I do because I wanna be a psychologist and the things I hear people say about mental health that is just completely wrong drives me insane
@@zachocracy natural immunity? you think you survived polio and diphteria in your childhood thanks to your natural immunity and not the vaccines you were given? LOL. natural immunity only helps you if the pathogen is already known to it and is not strong enough to actually kill you. Try your natural immunity with ebola, let's see who will win.
@@EskChan19 🤣🤣🤣 that’s great! so then if you let a fish freak out for a few seconds in a pitcher of sparking water…I mean the fish swam in it, so does it then become water 🤣
@@Baalenciaga666 maybe for your teeth noncarbonated water is better, but metabolically speaking…water is water. That being said, carbonated water may often contain added sugars and things of that nature which would change this comparison, but distilled water vs distilled sparkling water, the body doesn’t care…MAYBE if we’re talking about an athlete who just finished a workout, carbonated water would be less hydrating BUT that would be the result of the carbonation making you feel more “full” and bloated thus making them drink less…but it’s not because sparkling water has a lesser capacity to provide hydration than flat water. Despite numerous studies looking into the dietary and metabolic effects of sparkling water, no evidence has ever been found that indicates that unflavored, unsweetened sparkling water is any better or worse than unflavored, unsweetened flat water…
I remember the paramedic who gave my first aid class, when asked if CPR can make things worse, saying in a deadpan voice: Well, they ain't getting any deader.
I had a near death experience in September of last year, which I survived only because of a passing nurse practitioner who administered CPR. My ribs were cracked, broken and separated and hurt like hell for over three months, but I’m still here. Because of the type and severity of my heart attack, it was apparently the case that I less than 10% chance of surviving, and less than 3% chance of surviving without brain damage. I complained of the pain during my ambulance ride to the hospital, and the very wise EMT said that it was because the person who saved my life knew what she was doing. Hopefully you’ll never need to use that information, but the guy complaining that CPR rarely works deserves a little rebuttal…
In all honesty, people’s trust in the Internet is utterly unbelievable- I remember reading an article about a teen who tried straightening her hair with oil and matchsticks and it did not end well. You should not trust anything off of the internet, unless various sources (that can be trusted) confirm it’s fine
Most of these are old wives tales that existed long before the Internet. I know some older people who can't even use the Internet who believe in many of these.
various sources is not a good idea.... many of these life hacks are repeated in other places, most of the times by channels from the same company and children may think if they see it on more than one channel it is safe.
@@Matsuduckpoiyo the issue is children usually have no idea what a trusted source is. many times adults have no idea either. They see something gets 10 thousand likes, so it must be okay.
"CPR only works 2-4% of the time and it often breaks their rib cage." My mom and I are CPR certified, and we always had this joke about CPR. "Why do you care about breaking their ribs? THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD. You can't make them MORE dead by breaking their rib cage." And besides, what's better, CPR working 4% of the time, or doing nothing and them DEFINITELY dying?
Our 'teacher' actually said almost this exact line when we were getting our First Aid certification. "They're already technically dead. A broken bone or two should be the least of your worry, when you're trying to resuscitate them."
@@groundsymphony Coming from my parents, who work in a geriatric hospital (I'm only CPR certified, but declared pre-med for college! :p) She was trained that only 30% survive, which is better, but not by much. Every minute past that drops the number in half. 2 minutes without pulse = 15%, 3 minutes = 7.5%, etc. She said she's personally been involved in ~10 cpr's, and saw 2 come out alive. It's because the brain isn't getting any oxygen when they die, the person might end up brain-dead if you don't get them back soon. CPR pushes blood (and whatever oxygen is left in it) around the body Which is why it's always important to resuscitate when they show no pulse. Though I'm not the professional, dr. Mike is haha you should probably ask him!
Fax bro with the chest compressions. I almost died after being electrocuted by an exposed wire when I was working at a bar when I was 18 (eventually quit and am now in uni to become a diplomat), and the only thing that kept me alive was one of my colleagues, the security guard that was a former combat medic, did chest compressions for nearly 25 minutes straight while waiting for the ambulance.
@@nursejuss Our whole digestive system with all enzymes depent on an acidic environment! Many enzymes aren‘t working at higher pH value. Also you can‘t destroy microorganisms or other harmful things because the stomach acid becomes to weak. If your stomaches pH rise to a dangerous point you will vommit instantly!(1 Spoon of Soap is enough to let you throw up everything)
He's not exactly right though because the body turns vitamin c and citrus acids into alkaline in the end. It does the same with lemon and lime. You can look them up on PH charts. Imo Mike is getting a bit arrogant. It comes with the territory of having to disprove so many people. But when it comes to nutrition his knowledge is lackluster
I love how the gatorade guy just puts pure red food colouring in the cup to show it's acidic :D there's not even a change of colour like there would be in an indicator :D
He’s using Taylor’s ph indicator solution, which is more yellow at acidic pH and red at basic pH so even with it being an indicator it’s contradicting what he’s saying
Yes. Though ice water on a cloth on my forehead does feel good, I'll give the tiktok that much. Not so sure just placing my hands in it would do much though.
I think Dr. Mike is slowly loosing his mind from watching these TikToks. He’s really smart and I’m glad he knows what he’s doing. Plus, he’s a funny guy! 😊
My sister actually performed CPR on our father and his ribs broke which is very common and a mild consequence especially if you're brought back to life! Unfortunately my dad passed away but that moment led my sister into school for nursing and now she's a nurse practitioner.
Had to do the same thing to my father. Too old to be a nurse (and my bedside manners are usually the kind of "shut up, take your medicine and obey the doctors" that don't fly in hospitals), but the world always needs more nurses and medical health care in general.
Im so happy to hear you say its no big deal to crack the ribs because people have actually pulled us 1st responders off of their loves ones because they think were hurting them you can not hurt a dead person.
There's this one girl who just spouts nonsense just constantly getting millions of likes on TikTok. She's started infecting RUclips too. Just researched and found her name 'onlyjayus'
I do want to highlight that that doesn't go for everything. I know someone that said; 'I believe a glass of water poured in their mouth will work. Once they choke on it, they will wake up.' I said; 'Don't do that to someone' and he said; 'I might try it out on a dying person, they're already dead, I am convinced it will work.' I mean, if the CPR-folk get him back to live, he'll have some lungdamage and god knows what to make his coming weeks a bit more extra trouble. Also, don't kick the person, like I've seen panicked friends do. And don't needlessly stab the throat with a knife, because someone in my class was convinced that a choking-victim just needed a few extra stabs in the throat with a knife for breathingpurposes. I sincerely hope she never followed her aspiration to become a childrensnurse.
The one thing I've learned over the years when it comes to cpr is: the person is dead. It can't get worse than that. You can in some cases though, bring them back to life. So breaking a few ribs really isn't a problem at all
They’re technically dead. Not necessarily clinically dead. They may have a pulse that is so faint we can’t detect it. So are they dead? Dead enough to do chest compressions on.
The fact that one guy said "Fish must swim in it" for water, just bugs me SO MUCH I had to do so many exam studies on comparisons between fish in different salt/fresh water biomes and i dont know, what to say, i'm just flabbergasted
Dr mike: "You don't need mouth to mouth, just chest compressions" Norwegian first aid courses: " Most other countries have gone over to saying that you only need to do chest compressions, but here in Norway we are better than them, so we do 30/2, chest compressions and mouth to mouth" Me: Are we really?
@@VinnesRC 30/2 is outdated and has been for at least a decade. The principle behind chest compressions is that, if the patient is found soon enough, you’re able to keep oxygen flowing throughout their system until EMS arrives. This eliminates the need for mouth to mouth. Not that you don’t already know this but for others reading who might not have taken a CPR class.
"Definition of water must be fish swim in it" Yup just sound confident and look as smart as possible with those picture frames in the background and some people will actually believe you
Yes I agree, I also see you everywhere Edit: also why don’t you show your subscribers, you are probably not gonna see this because everyone comments on nearly all your comments and you post loads of comments Edit 2: Yay you showed it
Watching someone as genuine as Mike completely lose his mind trying to grasp these "medical" approaches on TikTok is so funny and entertaining. See it's not that bad, maybe these TikTok-s may not function as ways to medically improve someone's life, but right now in this video with Dr.Mike breaking each one down, they have downright improved my evening.

EXACTLY WHAT I SAID
11:32 If you don't attempt CPR on someone with no pulse, there's pretty much a 100% chance they'll die. So, bumping up the chance of survival from nope to well maybe is worth the effort.
Yeah, and as a Nurse who have done CPR for number of times. In my experience it has brought 70% of people I have performed it to, to life. 2% is just too BS. Hahaha
@@nursejuss the 2% and your 70% are actually very different statistics. The 2% is more likely based off of arrests that happen in the field. In hospital cpr will have a substantially higher rate of rosc. Also I find it funny how dr.mike talks about Épi bringing people back when the research is very minimal that any of the ACLS drugs really work in getting rosc. But high quality cpr and early defib is the only true ways of increasing rosc
@@thesrealsuperman Indeed that is true that is why we have PEA or Pulseless Electical Activity of the heart that is just brought about by Epi. It helps but the main tool that should be used is High quality CPR. I wouldn't still believe the 2% chance of survival through CPR even if it is done outside the hospital though. Unless may be you left the person pulseless or dead for 30mins before CPR has been performed but if it was performed as early as when it happened wherever it may be it would even increase the prognosis of the patients survival. So doing CPR on the field may even increase the patients survival than just wait for Ambulance to come. I could say this cause I had patients who had been revived by their neighbor, relative, strangers when they were given CPR at Home. So 2% still BS. Hahaha
i love how whenever there may be smth disgusting or not normal he doesn't mind it and gives a medical explanation about it, this is the type of person i need to be friends with cause he doesn't criticise people in a rude way but in a way that hes trying to help them. Keep it up dr. mike
Guy: "Gatorade makes your body acidic and causes problems" Gatorade: has to pass through the stomach with a pH of ~2 before being absorbed in the body anyways.
On top of that, the stomach secretes HCO3 (bicarbonate) into the blood to balance the acidity of the HCl in the stomach. In addition, the lungs push out CO2 (which acts as an acid, when dissolved in plasma/blood). The body has SEVERAL mechanisms at regulating pH and is a rather fool proof way of regulation as acidosis is a painful way to die.
@@pravihrvat699 isn't it the small intestine that neutralizes the acid? The stomach produces the acid which is neutralized in the duodenum and small intestine. At least that's what my memory is trying to tell me
Hmmmm, I wonder how many carbonated soft drinks that tiktoker has consumed. Drinks like Dr Pepper, CocaCola, Pepsi, etc have a much lower ph than Gatorade.
@subdiepotato I believe it does as well but parietal cells in the stomach secrete HCl into the stomach and bicarbonate into the blood stream to act as a buffer on pH. The duodenum is where bile is secreted into to neutralize chyme as well as aid in breaking down fats.
“CPR Only works 2-4% of the time” Surprised Dr. Mike didn’t mention that 2-4% chance of saving someones life (assuming that’s even right) better than 0% when nothing is done.
allow me then. that number is suppose to represent the chances that the heart will start beating again with cpr only. that's why Dr Mike went on about cpr being the best chance to buy time for advanced therapies such as drugs or electro shock therapy. cpr is great and all but its primary purpose isn't to restart the heart, but to delay brain death. I know I'm no Dr Mike but I hope you feel better that someone went down this rabbit hole with you :)
I think acknowledging whether or not that statistic has any relevance as to why you should use CPR is more dangerous than just ignoring it. For the people watching this video, maybe they would hear that statistic "confirmed" by Dr. Mike and spread misinformation. Instead, he acknowledges the flaws in the logic. You're right in saying that the 2-4% is better than 0%, but someone could form their opinion of the practice around that number and reason that it doesn't necessarily matter if they perform CPR. That's why you have to ground it in the fact that it would be saving their life, first and foremost.
I recently took a CPR class as I just had an infant child with my wife and would like to know how to resuscitate an infant. The nurse went on a huge rant saying that CPR can restart the heart but she said the exact same things as Mike said, that it’s to buy time until the ambulance arrives and/or an AED arrives. She told the entire class that if we hear anyone say that CPR is dangerous to tell them to stop spreading misinformation. She was mad lol
I think the guy in the TikTok meant that CPR only very rarely works the way movies present - restarting the heart - but didn't find the right words to explain everything. Good thing Dr. Mike stepped in. ;)
"The definition of water is fish must swim in it". And here my useless chemistry degree told me the definition of water is 2 hydrogens bonded to an oxygen
This is why you can't trust everything on social media regarding medical matters. If you are having symptoms that are concerning, speak with your doctor. Only then can you be properly examined,diagnosed and treated...
Me the ALPHA M*LE of this comment section and me command RESPECT. Right now me telling you to NOT observe any of me nice cool sweet videos. Instead just look at me awesome good powerful thumbnails. Thank you, dear so
Or look at peer reviewed studies or scientific papers and not Facebook or tic toc for medical information the internet can still be used for medical information but you have to think critically about what sources you’re believing don’t just trust whatever web md says.
The most charismatic people are often the least well informed. After all, they're so confident they never question themselves - and they will maintain this confidence by ignoring anyone who questions them from the outside. Thus, they can do no wrong... nor learn anything beyond what they already believe they know. Better to trust the person who says "I heard" or "it seems like" or "...or something", rather than "it is like this, period." Not to be perfectly correct, but to be aware they may not be correct, and open to new information.
I honestly find it so hilarious when people are like "But CPR break your ribs!". Hmm, might I ask who will be using that beautifully intact ribcage? Couldn't be the person they belong to cause they'll be a touch too dead. But you know what happens if you save someone's life with CPR? The broken ribs *gasp*... heal! Then you'll have an alive person with intact ribs rather than a dead one. Isn't that neat!
Gonna be real, even if there's only a 4% chance of survival(not sure where that stat comes from) do it anyway because a 4% chance is better than doing nothing and letting someone die!
The ice migraine thing is just distraction. The cold hurts and that draws your attention away from the migraine for a few seconds. I’ve had a persistent headache since 1998 and distraction is one of the few things that gives me any relief. Loud music actually helps because it “drowns out” everything else.
@@johan.ohgren i'd say it depends the type of migraine. Like normal headache, you can have it for many reasons. I do have often migraine because of a neck problem, so music or other distraction is useful. For me, in this situation, i use ice gel pack on my forehead and eyes to lower the pressure.
Man, we need more videos like this. Exposing these advices can actually stop people from trying these things and can save them from a bad day in some cases. Love your videos and the information you share with us, doctor Mike!
I think this guy is the only person on this site whose reaction content I actually enjoy because a) he fact-checks the content he sees b) he also provides really cool and possibly useful info while doing so
i'm far from any medical knowledge but even i know that our body can do so much without us doing unnecessary things to "help" them. as a person we might feel like our body isn't doing much but if you think of every single organ/cell functions and how they work to keep us alive, that itself is really amazing and honestly we don't give ourselves enough credit.
@🌹 FAYTHE 🌹 I get that it is funny but didn't everyone that watched the video hear him say that? the guy commenting what he said is not adding anything onto it at all.
I’ve found putting an 8 ball of coke in to a bowl of steaming hot water, and then breathing in the vapors, helps clear congestion quite well. But I’m Florida Man. Don’t try this at home.
I agree with Dr. Mike on never injecting that stuff to get bigger muscles. Also other than it being harmful, it's really unattractive and ugly. There's people with a good amount of muscle, and then a guy like that who looks like he shoved bricks in "skin" sleeves.
I remember Rich Piana once giving advice about Synthol. He said that it shouldn't be injected into the muscle, because the muscle would look soft, watery and bloated. But when injected underneath the muscle, it lifts the muscle up, making it stand out even more. Still looks weird though
I didn’t know what a “colonic” was, and that contraption made no sense to me. Then I googled this in detail and yet another day on this planet has made me lose faith in the future of mankind.
@@JoyLoveStruck A colonic is pretty much like an enema, it's just inserting a tube into the rectum, then a large amount of water is pushed through the tube to flush out the colon. Of course the water is then released back out, similar to a bowl movement. It's not particularly necessary, I wouldn't get one, but to each their own. 😅
I never understood the approach "don't do CPR, it breaks ribs". What Dr. Mike said - the person is already dead but also rib fractures are probably the easiest to heal? You just leave them alone and they to grow back together. And given that the patient required CPR in the first place, they probably won't be allowed to be physically active straight away. There's virtually 0 reason not to break those babies
I literally have a memory, at 41, of being scared to death and crying b/c of something called an “aspirator”. My ma would’ve never but I’m all about the blowing in the baby’s nostril. And I hadn’t thought about the aspirator in years and years till i saw that video….
This actually a pretty helpful reality check. So many times tips and health hacks we see on social media get lodged in our minds as fact even if we don't consciously do it.
If you could stop your period in an emergency, I feel like the solution would be sold on every shelf, and be in every magazine, rather than just some random Tiktoker talking about it
Actually,believe it or not,it does work in a sort of way.I often use this trick to lessen bleeding(once or twice,I fainted from the pain).Just pure lemon juice can do the trick.Vitamin C in huge doses draws some water,and kind of stops muscle cramps.
The "it doesn't!" *smile w/ finger point* response to that woman saying a hot bath burns more fat than a 1-hour jog was great. Also, that linebacker burn was gold.
Love this series. My family is always sharing stupid TikTok junk like this and I mean I’m not a doctor or in any medical profession. I’m just not a moron. Glad to see a real professional sharing my frustration on these
One of my uncles died recently, he just dropped dead basically. Someone who was with him did chest compressions and he came back a few times, but they still couldn’t save him. So yeah, chest compressions do extend the persons time, but you definitely need other measures as well. Just to be clear: I understood that this is what you were saying, just sharing a personal experience
Same thing with my dad in August, we did our best with compressions and so did paramedics, they even did a bone punch, but he didn't make it. My condolences on the loss of your Uncle.
I still remember the first time I broke ribs while doing CPR, I was confused and I was looking at the nurse next to me that had more than 20 years of experience and she said it was normal
I know what the man meant with the "heart activity": The nerves of the upper arm are switched to the same 2nd neuron in the spinal cord, like the nerves that innervate the heart (therefore, a heart attack is sometimes perceived as pain in the arm) - shaking the arms will not help the heart yet
You mean referred pain in Angina Pectoris? I read it was through stimulation of pain receptors that innervate the heart. These pain receptors ultimately are referred to afferent pathways, which are carried in multiple nerve roots from C7 through T4. The referred/radiating pain of angina pectoris is believed to occur because these afferent pathways also carry pain fibers from other regions (eg, the arm, neck, and shoulders).
It’s worrying the amount of misinformation online, we have to be extremely careful when giving these people an audience and making their videos popular. Most of the time common sense should always be the right answer. Thanks Dr Mike for another vídeo fighting against misinformation 👊🏻
"common sense" is one phrase that really irritates me when people say it. If sense were so common, we would not have a phrase for it, let alone have one that's so common place in our lingo.
there are people who believe the moon landing was a hoax, that the covid19 vaccine is just a government plot to place a microchip in your brain, that Trump won the 2020 election. Not trying to start a political argument here, just pointing out that if there is an opinion or a thought, then someone, somewhere, will believe it and pass it on (which is the more scary thought). If that wasn't the case then misinformation on RUclips, Facebook, Intsa, TikTok, etc, would not make those companies billions.

@@max_garcia all these are in the cardio workouts realm and they are obviously great for one's heart (the clue is in the name :D), but stuff like yoga or calisthenics is also good for getting the blood flowing, not to mention it develops strength, which will help you do more cardio.
This Doc is SOOO cool in that he debunks all these bogus claims and still maintains respect for the presenter.

I remember when my aunt was pregnant, she took advice from her friend by drinking something that included Bud Light which was a brand of beer and it was supposed to make the baby come out cleaner when they’re born according to her friend. Obviously terrible advice and I was surprised my aunt took that advice Edit: Just to clarify, the baby came out okay. I think my aunt only drank a little bit (maybe a sip but still, its not okay). Moral of the story: Don’t listen to every advice you hear
@@বাংলাদেশের_বাঙালি true, but if it's a natural vaginal birth, the baby picks up a ton of bacteria from the vagina, which is a good thing! They say that c section babies might have some health concerns since they don't pick up all those bacteria on their way out of the womb
Thank you Doctor Mike for debunking and providing evidence based information! Makes our job a lot easier when you give out accurate info to the public!! PS: OMG just got to the end, PLEASE JUST DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS IF SOMEONE HAS A CARDIAC ARREST AND CALL FOR HELP - CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS!

the sad thing is that these people will never listen to you. I had a friend into ear waxing and I burned one right in front of her sitting in a glass (so no ear wax could have been drawn up) and it still had the same exact residue she claimed was proof it was working. of course a few weeks later she was again saying how great candling was.
You’re right. Sadly it’s just impossible to convince people of certain truths even if you lay out the facts because at the end of the day they don’t want to be convinced
Thank christ I clicked on this video! I was gunna buy some next week to try it out coz me hearings been off,then I watched this! Seen something that resembles a toothbrush but it has a kinda corkscrew/spiral end, maybe that's a better choice???
I love this! Keep doing these videos because pseudomedicine is harming people. What's really interesting is why some people trust the internet with the health more than they would trust a doctor and I think it might come down to social distances, and have its roots in public distrust of their health care provision in the US. It's spread from there because too many Americans began to believe that doctors are just trying to make money out of them.
it's not just that. there are more incompetent doctors out there than competent ones. i don't know how it is in america, but in estonia, if you work or hobby any field related with bodily functions or injuries, you have to know both scientific and traditional medicine to an extent it will be helpful and not harmful. and anything related to sports if you're anywhere near to being able to help the coach, you have to know the body culture from one of the four universities and passed the exam. traditional medicine practitioners have even higher standards, including having medical knowledge and prior experience before opening their own practice,
Hypermobility is excessive motion in the joints like those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Too much flexibility in these patients can cause painful dislocations and subluxations and are much more prone to injury. It's also generally painful and can be severely debilitating. Imagine trying to walk and you knees dislocate with every step, causing repeated damage requiring surgery. Yeah, it's not fun. There's no cure for EDS either just therapy and pain management.
JUST TO CLEAR UP Im hypermobile myself and to clear up Some confusion: Hypermobility is basically having flexible joints, So you can bend your body Parts at your joints A bit further, or getting your arm out of socket and back in again on command, wich I dont suggest, it can hurt at times. Pleople Who are hypermobile tend to learn walking slower as there is A bigger chance of you just falling because your knees bend on random moments I hope this made it A bit more clear
@@Bangtanlicious-ev3sn not too much at all! Thankfully I don’t have it tooo badly. Frequent low/no pain partial dislocations happen often. I used to be super bendy, but my muscles are getting both stronger/stiffer over time. Also broke a LOT of bones from the clumsiness as a child. At 19 I had several herniated discs impinging on nerves due to spinal hypermobility, led to years with a cane and physical therapy. Dx with arthritis then too. Thankfully I have some wonderful doctors now. It still causes skin/stomach/pain issues, but it’s managed so much better since we realized what it was 😊
I took health class and I don't regret it. imp now informed enough to handle most types of common emergencies (Not treat just stuff like crp and splints). I hope one day it comes into use because that class was hell.

Story time! My cousin's ex was from Jamaica, born and lived there until he was about 10. His mother and family were all born and raised there. When they started dating, she already had 3 kids from a previous relationship. When the youngest (a little girl) was about a year old, she got really sick. She had asthma and had gotten bronchitis or pneumonia or something like that (this was a lot of years ago now). She couldn't breathe out of her nose at all and would just constantly scream and cry. I raised her kids for almost a decade and I had taken her to the emergency room. They gave her meds, but her crying kept her nose clogged. I didn't know what to do. I mentioned that to her then-boyfriend, and he said "can I try a home remedy my momma used to do when we were kids?" I said sure. At this point, I was out of options. He went to the bathroom (which was tiny), started running just the hot water in the shower and sink. He let the room steam up for 10-15 minutes, then asked me to bring her in. I did and he held her, bounced her and rubbed and tapped her back for 5-10 minutes. Then he did the weirdest thing I've ever seen. He put his whole mouth over her nose, sucked the snot out and spit it in the sink. He did this a few times. I put baby vicks on her feet with socks and put her to bed. I'll be damned if it didn't work. She slept all night for the 1st time in weeks. Though, I stayed up all night watching her. She breathed very comfortably through her nose. She started getting better faster and within days was back to normal. I mentioned that he's from Jamaica because he said it was a common home remedy there.
So did l,and the idea of using steam is both very old,and still regularly used both for chest infections and upper respiratory infections such as colds and sinusitis You can buy a machine called a nebuliser now to create the steam more easily Sucking the mucus out is new on me though

Fish must swim in it... I’m a civil engineer. I design waterlines for a living. I can say with utmost confidence, if there are fish swimming in the pressurized lines that provide water to your home you should contact your local water department.
Yeah, if they're swimming in it, they're also pooping in it. Do you really want to drink fish poop? -_-
Yes!!!!!
The human body is 70% water.
Fish: "It's free real estate."
Municipal tap water also has chlorine in it in some places, meaning fish can't live in straight tap water, period. You have to add a special chemical that neutralizes the chlorine.
You simply don't understand. When the aliens brought the sea water with it's shallow mineral content the fish preferred it to the sparkling water...with the deep mineral content. C'mon. You need to put your foil hat on and escape to Puma Punku or the pyramids and commune with the aliens before the government gets you. 🤣🤣🤣 (deeeeeeeeep mineral content)
I remember taking a CPR class with the sweetest little nurse. And I remember her telling us, in the most deadpan voice, don't worry about hurting them because they're dead.
I mean it’s good advice. Too many people worry about cracking a dead person’s ribs when you could literally save their life by giving CPR. A cracked rib is a minor inconvenience.

so then if you let a fish freak out for a few seconds in a pitcher of sparking water…I mean the fish swam in it, so does it then become water 🤣
Because he’s right? I mean he has a horrible explanation but non carbonated is better for you.
@@Baalenciaga666 maybe for your teeth noncarbonated water is better, but metabolically speaking…water is water. That being said, carbonated water may often contain added sugars and things of that nature which would change this comparison, but distilled water vs distilled sparkling water, the body doesn’t care…MAYBE if we’re talking about an athlete who just finished a workout, carbonated water would be less hydrating BUT that would be the result of the carbonation making you feel more “full” and bloated thus making them drink less…but it’s not because sparkling water has a lesser capacity to provide hydration than flat water. Despite numerous studies looking into the dietary and metabolic effects of sparkling water, no evidence has ever been found that indicates that unflavored, unsweetened sparkling water is any better or worse than unflavored, unsweetened flat water…
He said that and my first thought was Moana, "Fish pee in you, ALL DAY!" lol

I remember the paramedic who gave my first aid class, when asked if CPR can make things worse, saying in a deadpan voice: Well, they ain't getting any deader.
I had a near death experience in September of last year, which I survived only because of a passing nurse practitioner who administered CPR. My ribs were cracked, broken and separated and hurt like hell for over three months, but I’m still here.
Because of the type and severity of my heart attack, it was apparently the case that I less than 10% chance of surviving, and less than 3% chance of surviving without brain damage. I complained of the pain during my ambulance ride to the hospital, and the very wise EMT said that it was because the person who saved my life knew what she was doing.
Hopefully you’ll never need to use that information, but the guy complaining that CPR rarely works deserves a little rebuttal…
Interesting
Glad ur ok now
Thank God ur ok. God bless u!
Glad your ok
Wow hell of an experience. If I ever get to a person with a heart attack I will make sure to press as hard as possible
In all honesty, people’s trust in the Internet is utterly unbelievable- I remember reading an article about a teen who tried straightening her hair with oil and matchsticks and it did not end well. You should not trust anything off of the internet, unless various sources (that can be trusted) confirm it’s fine
Most of these are old wives tales that existed long before the Internet. I know some older people who can't even use the Internet who believe in many of these.
various sources is not a good idea.... many of these life hacks are repeated in other places, most of the times by channels from the same company and children may think if they see it on more than one channel it is safe.
@@Xia-hu They did say sources *that can be trusted* so I'd think more to official sites and scientific papers than channels
Let me guess her hair caught fire
@@Matsuduckpoiyo the issue is children usually have no idea what a trusted source is. many times adults have no idea either. They see something gets 10 thousand likes, so it must be okay.
"CPR only works 2-4% of the time and it often breaks their rib cage."
My mom and I are CPR certified, and we always had this joke about CPR. "Why do you care about breaking their ribs? THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD. You can't make them MORE dead by breaking their rib cage."
And besides, what's better, CPR working 4% of the time, or doing nothing and them DEFINITELY dying?
Our 'teacher' actually said almost this exact line when we were getting our First Aid certification.
"They're already technically dead. A broken bone or two should be the least of your worry, when you're trying to resuscitate them."
For some reason, I'd never thought about that before he said it. That's an INCREDIBLY good point 😮
Okay just wondering, so it is true that it only works 4% of the time?
@@groundsymphony Coming from my parents, who work in a geriatric hospital (I'm only CPR certified, but declared pre-med for college! :p) She was trained that only 30% survive, which is better, but not by much. Every minute past that drops the number in half. 2 minutes without pulse = 15%, 3 minutes = 7.5%, etc. She said she's personally been involved in ~10 cpr's, and saw 2 come out alive.
It's because the brain isn't getting any oxygen when they die, the person might end up brain-dead if you don't get them back soon. CPR pushes blood (and whatever oxygen is left in it) around the body Which is why it's always important to resuscitate when they show no pulse. Though I'm not the professional, dr. Mike is haha you should probably ask him!
Yea my dad and 3 other cpr teachers said this same line
Fax bro with the chest compressions. I almost died after being electrocuted by an exposed wire when I was working at a bar when I was 18 (eventually quit and am now in uni to become a diplomat), and the only thing that kept me alive was one of my colleagues, the security guard that was a former combat medic, did chest compressions for nearly 25 minutes straight while waiting for the ambulance.
I loved when Dr. Mike points out that Vitamin C is an acid and how health gurus love to promote healthy living by making everything alkaline.
@@nursejuss Our whole digestive system with all enzymes depent on an acidic environment! Many enzymes aren‘t working at higher pH value. Also you can‘t destroy microorganisms or other harmful things because the stomach acid becomes to weak. If your stomaches pH rise to a dangerous point you will vommit instantly!(1 Spoon of Soap is enough to let you throw up everything)
Same with apple cider vinegar. Literally acid
@@gaming4ever418
Don't eat soap
He's not exactly right though because the body turns vitamin c and citrus acids into alkaline in the end. It does the same with lemon and lime. You can look them up on PH charts.
Imo Mike is getting a bit arrogant. It comes with the territory of having to disprove so many people. But when it comes to nutrition his knowledge is lackluster
he lost all credit when he pronounced tajin wrong and he didn't know what it meant.

My sister actually performed CPR on our father and his ribs broke which is very common and a mild consequence especially if you're brought back to life! Unfortunately my dad passed away but that moment led my sister into school for nursing and now she's a nurse practitioner.
Had to do the same thing to my father. Too old to be a nurse (and my bedside manners are usually the kind of "shut up, take your medicine and obey the doctors" that don't fly in hospitals), but the world always needs more nurses and medical health care in general.

@@mikethegoo can't hurt someone if they are already dead
@@3clisp315 until they get revived… that’s gonna hurt
I do want to highlight that that doesn't go for everything.
I know someone that said; 'I believe a glass of water poured in their mouth will work. Once they choke on it, they will wake up.'
I said; 'Don't do that to someone' and he said; 'I might try it out on a dying person, they're already dead, I am convinced it will work.'
I mean, if the CPR-folk get him back to live, he'll have some lungdamage and god knows what to make his coming weeks a bit more extra trouble.
Also, don't kick the person, like I've seen panicked friends do.
And don't needlessly stab the throat with a knife, because someone in my class was convinced that a choking-victim just needed a few extra stabs in the throat with a knife for breathingpurposes.
I sincerely hope she never followed her aspiration to become a childrensnurse.
@@mikethegoo so true cuz it’s DEAD anyway :)
The one thing I've learned over the years when it comes to cpr is: the person is dead. It can't get worse than that. You can in some cases though, bring them back to life. So breaking a few ribs really isn't a problem at all
Gotta break a few ribs to make an omelette.... Wait
yeah, like they'd rather be dead
They’re technically dead. Not necessarily clinically dead. They may have a pulse that is so faint we can’t detect it.
So are they dead? Dead enough to do chest compressions on.
I’m learning about cpr this year at school and hella true I prefer some broken ribs if it means I have a higher chance to be brought back
If you don't feel like you're gonna break their rib, you're doing it wrong
The fact that one guy said "Fish must swim in it" for water, just bugs me SO MUCH
I had to do so many exam studies on comparisons between fish in different salt/fresh water biomes and i dont know, what to say, i'm just flabbergasted
dr mike: “don’t punch people in the chest”
boxer mike: *literally punching ppl in the chest*
Dr mike: "You don't need mouth to mouth, just chest compressions"
Norwegian first aid courses: " Most other countries have gone over to saying that you only need to do chest compressions, but here in Norway we are better than them, so we do 30/2, chest compressions and mouth to mouth"
Me: Are we really?
But he does it the right way. 😹🥊🥊
@@VinnesRC 30/2 is outdated and has been for at least a decade.
The principle behind chest compressions is that, if the patient is found soon enough, you’re able to keep oxygen flowing throughout their system until EMS arrives. This eliminates the need for mouth to mouth.
Not that you don’t already know this but for others reading who might not have taken a CPR class.

11:32 If you don't attempt CPR on someone with no pulse, there's pretty much a 100% chance they'll die. So, bumping up the chance of survival from nope to well maybe is worth the effort.
Yeah, and as a Nurse who have done CPR for number of times. In my experience it has brought 70% of people I have performed it to, to life. 2% is just too BS. Hahaha
@@nursejuss the 2% and your 70% are actually very different statistics. The 2% is more likely based off of arrests that happen in the field. In hospital cpr will have a substantially higher rate of rosc. Also I find it funny how dr.mike talks about Épi bringing people back when the research is very minimal that any of the ACLS drugs really work in getting rosc. But high quality cpr and early defib is the only true ways of increasing rosc
I think in some countries if you perform CPR without being licensed you can get sued.
@@thesrealsuperman Indeed that is true that is why we have PEA or Pulseless Electical Activity of the heart that is just brought about by Epi. It helps but the main tool that should be used is High quality CPR. I wouldn't still believe the 2% chance of survival through CPR even if it is done outside the hospital though. Unless may be you left the person pulseless or dead for 30mins before CPR has been performed but if it was performed as early as when it happened wherever it may be it would even increase the prognosis of the patients survival. So doing CPR on the field may even increase the patients survival than just wait for Ambulance to come. I could say this cause I had patients who had been revived by their neighbor, relative, strangers when they were given CPR at Home. So 2% still BS. Hahaha

Guy: "Gatorade makes your body acidic and causes problems"
Gatorade: has to pass through the stomach with a pH of ~2 before being absorbed in the body anyways.
BIG BRAIN
On top of that, the stomach secretes HCO3 (bicarbonate) into the blood to balance the acidity of the HCl in the stomach. In addition, the lungs push out CO2 (which acts as an acid, when dissolved in plasma/blood). The body has SEVERAL mechanisms at regulating pH and is a rather fool proof way of regulation as acidosis is a painful way to die.
@@pravihrvat699 isn't it the small intestine that neutralizes the acid? The stomach produces the acid which is neutralized in the duodenum and small intestine. At least that's what my memory is trying to tell me
Hmmmm, I wonder how many carbonated soft drinks that tiktoker has consumed. Drinks like Dr Pepper, CocaCola, Pepsi, etc have a much lower ph than Gatorade.
@subdiepotato I believe it does as well but parietal cells in the stomach secrete HCl into the stomach and bicarbonate into the blood stream to act as a buffer on pH. The duodenum is where bile is secreted into to neutralize chyme as well as aid in breaking down fats.
“CPR Only works 2-4% of the time” Surprised Dr. Mike didn’t mention that 2-4% chance of saving someones life (assuming that’s even right) better than 0% when nothing is done.
allow me then. that number is suppose to represent the chances that the heart will start beating again with cpr only. that's why Dr Mike went on about cpr being the best chance to buy time for advanced therapies such as drugs or electro shock therapy. cpr is great and all but its primary purpose isn't to restart the heart, but to delay brain death.
I know I'm no Dr Mike but I hope you feel better that someone went down this rabbit hole with you :)
I think acknowledging whether or not that statistic has any relevance as to why you should use CPR is more dangerous than just ignoring it. For the people watching this video, maybe they would hear that statistic "confirmed" by Dr. Mike and spread misinformation. Instead, he acknowledges the flaws in the logic. You're right in saying that the 2-4% is better than 0%, but someone could form their opinion of the practice around that number and reason that it doesn't necessarily matter if they perform CPR. That's why you have to ground it in the fact that it would be saving their life, first and foremost.
I recently took a CPR class as I just had an infant child with my wife and would like to know how to resuscitate an infant. The nurse went on a huge rant saying that CPR can restart the heart but she said the exact same things as Mike said, that it’s to buy time until the ambulance arrives and/or an AED arrives. She told the entire class that if we hear anyone say that CPR is dangerous to tell them to stop spreading misinformation. She was mad lol
I think the guy in the TikTok meant that CPR only very rarely works the way movies present - restarting the heart - but didn't find the right words to explain everything. Good thing Dr. Mike stepped in. ;)
Props to Dr. Mike for losing his braincells every video just to point out medical misinformation

Preach
WHY DID TIKTOK GET CREATED?
Doctor robot is in the sonic movie says confidence is a fools substitute for intelligence
The most charismatic people are often the least well informed. After all, they're so confident they never question themselves - and they will maintain this confidence by ignoring anyone who questions them from the outside. Thus, they can do no wrong... nor learn anything beyond what they already believe they know. Better to trust the person who says "I heard" or "it seems like" or "...or something", rather than "it is like this, period." Not to be perfectly correct, but to be aware they may not be correct, and open to new information.
I honestly find it so hilarious when people are like "But CPR break your ribs!". Hmm, might I ask who will be using that beautifully intact ribcage? Couldn't be the person they belong to cause they'll be a touch too dead. But you know what happens if you save someone's life with CPR? The broken ribs *gasp*... heal! Then you'll have an alive person with intact ribs rather than a dead one. Isn't that neat!
Gonna be real, even if there's only a 4% chance of survival(not sure where that stat comes from) do it anyway because a 4% chance is better than doing nothing and letting someone die!

I didn’t know what a “colonic” was, and that contraption made no sense to me. Then I googled this in detail and yet another day on this planet has made me lose faith in the future of mankind.
What is it? I'm scared to Google 😂😫
@@JoyLoveStruck A colonic is pretty much like an enema, it's just inserting a tube into the rectum, then a large amount of water is pushed through the tube to flush out the colon. Of course the water is then released back out, similar to a bowl movement. It's not particularly necessary, I wouldn't get one, but to each their own. 😅

I never understood the approach "don't do CPR, it breaks ribs". What Dr. Mike said - the person is already dead but also rib fractures are probably the easiest to heal? You just leave them alone and they to grow back together. And given that the patient required CPR in the first place, they probably won't be allowed to be physically active straight away.
There's virtually 0 reason not to break those babies
I think they say that because some young kids want to do it but obviously u shouldn’t break ribs 😂
Chest compressions.

I literally have a memory, at 41, of being scared to death and crying b/c of something called an “aspirator”. My ma would’ve never but I’m all about the blowing in the baby’s nostril. And I hadn’t thought about the aspirator in years and years till i saw that video….

Once someone dies from something posted and the poster prosecuted, then that will end the bullshit. Well, in theory.

The "it doesn't!" *smile w/ finger point* response to that woman saying a hot bath burns more fat than a 1-hour jog was great.
Also, that linebacker burn was gold.

One of my uncles died recently, he just dropped dead basically. Someone who was with him did chest compressions and he came back a few times, but they still couldn’t save him. So yeah, chest compressions do extend the persons time, but you definitely need other measures as well. Just to be clear: I understood that this is what you were saying, just sharing a personal experience
rip your uncle
Same thing with my dad in August, we did our best with compressions and so did paramedics, they even did a bone punch, but he didn't make it.
My condolences on the loss of your Uncle.
You explain things so well and just the way you react to these folks is amazing lol
I love how angry he gets about this. You know he’s passionate.
Hi Michelle
I still remember the first time I broke ribs while doing CPR, I was confused and I was looking at the nurse next to me that had more than 20 years of experience and she said it was normal
I know what the man meant with the "heart activity": The nerves of the upper arm are switched to the same 2nd neuron in the spinal cord, like the nerves that innervate the heart (therefore, a heart attack is sometimes perceived as pain in the arm) - shaking the arms will not help the heart yet
You mean referred pain in Angina Pectoris? I read it was through stimulation of pain receptors that innervate the heart. These pain receptors ultimately are referred to afferent pathways, which are carried in multiple nerve roots from C7 through T4. The referred/radiating pain of angina pectoris is believed to occur because these afferent pathways also carry pain fibers from other regions (eg, the arm, neck, and shoulders).
Lol
You are hilarious and I love the fact that you explain things properly.
It’s worrying the amount of misinformation online, we have to be extremely careful when giving these people an audience and making their videos popular. Most of the time common sense should always be the right answer. Thanks Dr Mike for another vídeo fighting against misinformation 👊🏻
"common sense" is one phrase that really irritates me when people say it. If sense were so common, we would not have a phrase for it, let alone have one that's so common place in our lingo.
i can't tell my girlfriend that her best friend came and kissed me when i was drunk.
I can’t believe that there is people who believe medical tiktoks, it’s crazy
there are people who believe the moon landing was a hoax, that the covid19 vaccine is just a government plot to place a microchip in your brain, that Trump won the 2020 election. Not trying to start a political argument here, just pointing out that if there is an opinion or a thought, then someone, somewhere, will believe it and pass it on (which is the more scary thought). If that wasn't the case then misinformation on RUclips, Facebook, Intsa, TikTok, etc, would not make those companies billions.

I remember when my aunt was pregnant, she took advice from her friend by drinking something that included Bud Light which was a brand of beer and it was supposed to make the baby come out cleaner when they’re born according to her friend.
Obviously terrible advice and I was surprised my aunt took that advice
Edit: Just to clarify, the baby came out okay. I think my aunt only drank a little bit (maybe a sip but still, its not okay).
Moral of the story: Don’t listen to every advice you hear
Poor cousin
Fun fact: Babies have NO bacteria when coming out,infact they're the cleanest when they come out.
WTF
@@বাংলাদেশের_বাঙালি true, but if it's a natural vaginal birth, the baby picks up a ton of bacteria from the vagina, which is a good thing! They say that c section babies might have some health concerns since they don't pick up all those bacteria on their way out of the womb

What's really interesting is why some people trust the internet with the health more than they would trust a doctor and I think it might come down to social distances, and have its roots in public distrust of their health care provision in the US. It's spread from there because too many Americans began to believe that doctors are just trying to make money out of them.
it's not just that. there are more incompetent doctors out there than competent ones.
i don't know how it is in america, but in estonia, if you work or hobby any field related with bodily functions or injuries, you have to know both scientific and traditional medicine to an extent it will be helpful and not harmful. and anything related to sports if you're anywhere near to being able to help the coach, you have to know the body culture from one of the four universities and passed the exam. traditional medicine practitioners have even higher standards, including having medical knowledge and prior experience before opening their own practice,
“Too much flexibility isn’t always a good thing” *laughs in painfully hypermobile*
@@Bangtanlicious-ev3sn I think it means they don’t have bones and they move like water
Hypermobility is excessive motion in the joints like those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Too much flexibility in these patients can cause painful dislocations and subluxations and are much more prone to injury. It's also generally painful and can be severely debilitating. Imagine trying to walk and you knees dislocate with every step, causing repeated damage requiring surgery. Yeah, it's not fun. There's no cure for EDS either just therapy and pain management.
@@radicalraggers8385 You're joking, right?
JUST TO CLEAR UP
Im hypermobile myself and to clear up Some confusion:
Hypermobility is basically having flexible joints, So you can bend your body Parts at your joints A bit further, or getting your arm out of socket and back in again on command, wich I dont suggest, it can hurt at times.
Pleople Who are hypermobile tend to learn walking slower as there is A bigger chance of you just falling because your knees bend on random moments
I hope this made it A bit more clear
@@Bangtanlicious-ev3sn not too much at all! Thankfully I don’t have it tooo badly. Frequent low/no pain partial dislocations happen often. I used to be super bendy, but my muscles are getting both stronger/stiffer over time. Also broke a LOT of bones from the clumsiness as a child.
At 19 I had several herniated discs impinging on nerves due to spinal hypermobility, led to years with a cane and physical therapy. Dx with arthritis then too.
Thankfully I have some wonderful doctors now. It still causes skin/stomach/pain issues, but it’s managed so much better since we realized what it was 😊
I took health class and I don't regret it. imp now informed enough to handle most types of common emergencies (Not treat just stuff like crp and splints). I hope one day it comes into use because that class was hell.

“It’s not malpractice if I’m not a doctor”

Story time! My cousin's ex was from Jamaica, born and lived there until he was about 10. His mother and family were all born and raised there. When they started dating, she already had 3 kids from a previous relationship. When the youngest (a little girl) was about a year old, she got really sick. She had asthma and had gotten bronchitis or pneumonia or something like that (this was a lot of years ago now). She couldn't breathe out of her nose at all and would just constantly scream and cry. I raised her kids for almost a decade and I had taken her to the emergency room. They gave her meds, but her crying kept her nose clogged. I didn't know what to do. I mentioned that to her then-boyfriend, and he said "can I try a home remedy my momma used to do when we were kids?" I said sure. At this point, I was out of options. He went to the bathroom (which was tiny), started running just the hot water in the shower and sink. He let the room steam up for 10-15 minutes, then asked me to bring her in. I did and he held her, bounced her and rubbed and tapped her back for 5-10 minutes. Then he did the weirdest thing I've ever seen. He put his whole mouth over her nose, sucked the snot out and spit it in the sink. He did this a few times. I put baby vicks on her feet with socks and put her to bed. I'll be damned if it didn't work. She slept all night for the 1st time in weeks. Though, I stayed up all night watching her. She breathed very comfortably through her nose. She started getting better faster and within days was back to normal. I mentioned that he's from Jamaica because he said it was a common home remedy there.
