    My dad told me he once had El Tor (a variation of cholera) back in the Philippines in his hometown of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur. This was decades ago when he was younger and long before he met my mom who was also from the Philippines albeit in the neighboring northern province Ilocos Norte. He got the infection from consuming something he didn't realize was contaminated. And suffice to say, he was not having a great time. Even came close to dying. He was administered some kind of shot which completely resolved his condition. And to this day, I'm amazed he survived a deadly disease.

    8:19 I actually took a class that talked about this while I was studying in London. The crucial part of coming to this conclusion was the fact that one house in the rich neighborhood, just a block away, also suffered from the cholera outbreak. when asked, the rich family stated that they preferred the taste of the water coming from the well in the poor neighborhood as opposed to the water from their own, citing that the (infected) well had sweeter water. This led the doctor to reject his initial findings that the disease affected exclusively poor people and concluded that it was in fact a water borne illness.

    We always boiled our water anyway, but we didn't boil the water we bathed in. I think my parents were afraid we would accidentally ingest contaminated water in our bath even though my mom put chlorine bleach in it.

      It can be - if you have access to the right kind of antibiotics, but no access to clean water.
      Then if you are forced to pick one, take the plague.
      Without clean water, you WILL die of Cholera.
      You will lose so much water that your organs will fail...
      Luckily, if you have access to clean water, in both an IV and drinking, you will be able to replace it as the water leaves your body.
      Plague is treatable, it just requires some heavy doses of antibiotics and preferably a top notch healthcare facility where they can monitor you...

    I used to be a carrier of strep throat & ended up taking a ton of antibiotics to fight it bc for whatever reason my doctor refused to take out my tonsils. After one particularly bad bout of strep throat I developed an infected tooth & the dentist gave me a prescription for clindamycin. After about 3 weeks I developed c-diff which took another month of taking meds that didn’t work until I finally took vancomycin. At the end of those 3 weeks the c-diff became so bad I experienced what it probably feels like to have cholera. I didn’t sleep for 3 days & hallucinated the entire time. How I didn’t die I don’t know. If I took a sip of water it’d go right into my small intestine which would create a spasm that’d make a gurgling waterfall like sound & id have about 20 seconds to make it to a toilet. It mentally scarred me towards diarrhea so now whenever I have it I think the worst & that c-diff came back. I refuse to take anything that has any chance of giving me c-diff like clindamycin or even proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux.

    • @malinia.20
      @malinia.20 9 дней назад

      Oh yeah. This happened to me because of chronic sinus infections. I almost died of C. diff and was hallucinating, too, because of the associated liver failure. I heard the doctor having the "end of life" conversation with my parents while I was in the hospital. After a few days, I wasn't even aware of the diarrhea anymore, which is kind of horrifying to think about. Ironically, vancomycin ended up saving my life and helping me avoid a colostomy. It was horrific and I have lifelong disabilities now. Kind of a fun (or not so fun) fact is that C. diff diarrhea is different than cholera diarrhea. Because C. diff affects your large intestine, it causes diarrhea with blood, pus, and mucus, as disgusting as that is. But cholera, because it affects the small intestine instead, causes "dysentery," which is diarrhea that is more like pure water. And lots more of it.

    Minor Grammar Gestapo™ citations for 4:32 and 4:39 - you mean "lying down" / "lie down", not "laying down", "lay down". "Laying" / "lay" is used with an object; e.g. I _lay_ my sleeping bag under the overpass before I _lie_ on it (but this arrangement's only temporary, 'cause this YT grammar police gig is gonna get that money faucet a-flowin' *_any day_* now.)

I was telling them it's BS but got push-back. I guess if it's people reporting stuff like better mood or w/e there could be something to it but it would likely just be placebo effect which, granted, can still be very powerful.
      I haven't looked into raw milk but it seems dangerous and, just guessing, unlikely to be a net positive when compared to any benefits. I just learned a bit ago that there was a time in the USA where ~500,000 babies were dying a year from contaminated or adulterated milk alone.
