#Orangutan #Medicine #Plant
He had to treat himself with the price of healthcare nowadays.
We have to pay attention to re-learn from THEM everything the pharma companies took away from us! 😂 but 😭😭😭
@@JW-vd4il That's true, JW, and your emojis say it all!
@@briangabriel2458 😁❤️ 🍻 😹
Here in Indonesia medical treatment are very very very cheap
@@rassicsiddik7439 That's nice to have.
The natural world never ceases to amaze
If a wound that big disappeared in a week, shouldn't scientists be looking at that leaf mixture he made and trying to see if it works on humans? That sounds pretty miraculous to me
Apparently, those leaves work much better than what we currently have lol. I’m not sure if we have anything that would close up that size of wound in a week.
What leaves/plant is that?
@@JohnTronto akar kuning
people have something like this for thousands of years and the leaves are used in modern medicine all the time
but big pharma couldn't patent it you see $$$
That scar healed in a week shows how watered down our medicine is
You are right 👍👍
Or it displays how robust and fast healing an orangutan is.
Because its BIG money in keeping you sick...
@@nadinewhite993 Finally someone who doesn't jump on the bandwagon of confirmation bias. Your comment is the first I read which states the other possible explanation of this healing rate.
Proves that apes are much smarter than humans lol
That plant will be regulated by the fda in 2 months
I love this story. Orangutans are cool.
aren't they..the most "human" like thinkers.
It just shows animals are intelligent
Humans are animals and a lot of them are intelligent enough to perform day-to-day activities. But most couldn't tell you the process by which a toaster or a kettle works.
Nakaen ng dahon nga mga hayop kapag may nararamdaman e. Matatalino rin mga hayop
And still we won’t humble ourselves.
how do you mean?
Animals understand what we are saying and thinking more than we give them credit for. They just don't have the ability to vocalize the way we do. I think there are many animal languages we have yet to decode. In the same way we have personalities they have animalities
I talk to my Danes and my horse, cats, they all talk back. My horse saved a Danes life calling me outside at midnight to tell me she was choking.
Word!
@@punapetergoddamn! First responder!?
@@user-hk9du6px9x I was, he made the call...
They may understand that high pitched baby talk means youre talking to them, and that they might get a walk, or a treat, or affection. The smartest of dogs may understand the context of select words, but no, animals do not "understand what we're saying and could respond if only they had the vocal cords." 😂
Now let’s start treating all animals with kindness and the respect they deserve. If they could only speak…
Because sadly, we’ve failed that to do so with one another.
Let's give all of them passports and social security numbers as well..😂
... they'd be slapped with taxes.
Are you sure you're not an IRS "provocateur"? 😆😆😆
Nothing about this is surprising. We greatly underestimate primates.
orang utan in dubai can drive a vihaecle
Cat usually eat medicinal weeds during their sick days I observed it
Dogs eat grass when they feel sick and seem very choosy about what kind.
There's a video of Billy the cat who communicates with buttons that play recorded words.
She tells her owner to take catnip to medicate a headache. Funny enough the owner ignores her.
Catnip is a soothing herb used in tea. I don't know if it works for headaches but apparently cats understand the medicinal properties
@@paulworgan6599Yes. Dogs eat grass when they’re nauseated
Whoever is surprised by this is sadly far too removed from reality
I feel sad for those who lost the ability to be amazed by nature
These amazing Orangutans are smarter, more compassionate and are as honest as the day is long! I believe that I would enjoy their company more than some people I know. Please sponsor an Orangutan, they are our family and they need us now more than eve! 🫶🐵🩷
It always fascinates me how we think that as humans, we are the only animals that do certain things. Other animals are not stupid, they are not just existing.
True. Dawne .
Amazing. I hope we can get corroborating observations of this.
and we managed to make them go almost extinct
Anyone else notice they never showed the orangutan actually applying anything to the wound... sure they showed him chewing on the leaves but that was it? If they actually recorded it that was an editing fail. Come on. This is a big claim that's apparently on video and we can't show the part they are describing? Another video one lady even described him covering the whole wound with the juice followed by the "plant mash". Can't get a single still shot of that?
Do your research. It's not that hard to believe.
@@eldersun9877 You're right, it's not that hard to believe. They are quite intelligent animals. What's upsetting is that it shouldn't be that hard to show us either. Oh well. That's what I get for working in the science industry in various laboratories... I expect objective proof of claims.
I read about one lady who lived in the country. She was in great pain and was not feeling well. She had to go bring cow from a field. When she called cow to come, cow didn't move. Cow was eating some kind of wild berries and looking at the owner. The owner decided ok, I'll eat them too. After eating them, her pain disappeared and she was well again.
We only see what we want to see, and understand what we want to understand..dogs live with humans yet them eating a plant is not self medication but simply eating grass for no reason...I have a medicinal garden and one of my dogs has digestive problems. On the days he isn't feeling well and can't keep his food down, he goes to where the mint plants are and only takes from the ends of the new stems, never damaging the rest of the plant, and only from non flowering plants. In natural medicine, this is the very same treatment for humans, except that we drink it in a form of tea.
This makes me so so happy!!! Made my heart shine, beautiful Ginger Alchemist ❤❤❤
We’ve been observing animals intentionally getting drunk on rotting fruit for a while, is this different?
Obviously.
Very different
Did he win the fight is the question…
you should see the other guy
It's almost as if they're evolving into huma--- oh wait a second..
Yep
Species don't evolve into other existing species, that's not how evolution works.

We need to respect all animals and the environment. We need to save all these wonderful creatures. It makes me sick what we have done to them and their environment.
Could it just be that he’s just smart.
That's amazing! Seriously.
Orangutans are amazing! They are so smart. I remember seeing one in a zoo once that made me feel so stupid for staring at it. It’s like it was calling me out for being condescending with just its eyes body language. It really confirmed to me that humans aren’t the only highly intelligent species on the planet.
where in this video does it depict the orangutan applying 'medicine' (chewed up leaves) to his wound ? *please provide timestamp
That ape was so smart. He even recommend you to suscribe! Also the orangutan is lovely!
Closed up in a week? That is a fast heal.
this cool. what a great observation...
This is fascinating!
Why there’s no clip showing the applying process? I looked everywhere
Good job, thanks for your reseach
It's really pathetic this came out 2 years ago but it's just now being shared with people this year
Dr. Laumer is stunning!
THANK YOU
Closed up in a week wow that’s incredible!
I heard of elephants doing something similar
How long does it usually takes to heal without medication? Is infection usually observed?
WHAT kind of plant was that? The most important part of an important, astonishing story.
They said in the video…

How come we don’t have the actual recording when healing himself putting in the leaf on to damage area.

Mind blowing 😮
Nice follow-up story would've been, how effective natural remedies are and how food can be medicine instead of pills.... Just sayin'

and he did all that without a mirror!!!!
A horse owned by Dr. Hoxie did this. It had a cancerous tumor and began eating odd plants amd the tumor dropped off, the doctor studied into it, found it did cure many squamous cell tumors, then the good doctor tried to open a clinic to use his treatment, but the clinic was kicked out of the US. Pressure from big pharma goes way back.
What magnificent creatures
Why don't they say what leaf he use

Now I know Orangutans are smarter than some Doctors 😢????
Could you imagine if they could speak?
I'm surprised they didn't make them say that he's not a doctor and then the D.E. A might lock him up for using alternative treatments.
You droppex this Rakus. 👑
What are the properties in the leaves in the sap?🤔
'Antibiotic', 'Antifungal', 'Stiptic', 'Regenerative'... at least those are the properties of most herbs that are chewed or mashed into a paste and used to treat wounds. They didn't name the plant, but Plantago is found everywhere.
If you read the research (which I highly encourage you to do) , they actually name the plant: Akar Kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria), a type of liana vine
@@yishnir 🤯
I'm pretty sure aliens look us the same way.
Great story !
people still believe they these were our ancestors….🤦♂️
Closes up within a week? 😮
Of course it's impressive for all that haven't seen it before - but how no one is mentioning that dogs while having stomach issues are also helping/healing themselves with the certain kind of grass?!
In European countries where pesticides aren't used on the grass in park areas - you might see dogs chewing and sucking a grass. My little dog does that every time if he had a bit more of the human food. He has some gallbladder problem but after he finds his grass - everything is good.
Cows, horses, sheep - they all know how to help themselves providing they have freedom to go into the fields.
It’s called intelligent design.
Wow that’s amazing ❤
Hence why nature needs to be preserved
They never show in the video that the apes have s using that leaf to put into his scar
Is that tree among Salicaceae or Fabaceae families? Among known phytochemistry with pharmacologic properties & medicinal use.
the plant is akar kuning
Akat Kuning is genus Fibraurea family Memispemaceae
Akat Kuning is genus Fibraurea family Memispemaceae
I thought we already knew this! I saw Shack do the same thing in the 90's!
And he has a PhD!
I love the way the orangutan kisses the tree ❤
He's probably eaten that plant before and gotten a numbing feeling and referenced back to it
He smart wow 😯
We didn’t pick that up maybe like 10,000 years ago give or take a few years 🤔🙄
If it can heal, can it do it to cancer?
It’s amazing but I’m not shocked. I mean they are known to be one of the smartest species and I think many animals are more intelligent than humans give them credit for, surely you can’t think that we are the only ones who feel pain, who communicate and who past down knowledge. Just because we don’t understand animals doesn’t make them unintelligent. ❤
No insurance either huh?
Wow!
With the price of healthcare. Of course he’s going to self medicate like the rest of us 😂😂😂😂
I believe he got his scar fighting Godzilla and Kong.
This reporter really said "non-human primates" lol
Yeah, that is the correct way to say it, humans are primates, specifically Hominoidea, Hominidae and Homininae

That's how indigenous learn about plants 🤔
Dr Zaius. They’re not movies anymore.
The locals use that plant, he probably observed the local applying it on their skin and does the same
I think it's unlikely. Orangutans aren't keen on being around humans for obvious reasons. There are other examples of culture unique to certain groups of orangutans. An example I remember learning about, specific to a group of orangutans, is a greeting ritual where an orangutan would pluck leaves from a branch and sprinkle them while squeaking.
Orangutans spend the first 5 or so years clinging to their mother watching everything she does, and that's how they learn to interface with their environment. I am willing to believe something similar happened with the orangutan in this video. This self medicating phenomena was only observed once, but I think given the fact humans were able to observe it at all means its been happening for quite some time.
That's nothing compared to my chickens, they stitch their wounds..
Who cousin???
What is the name of the leaves 🍃 I need to buy it!?!
akar kuning
What's the plants he used again?
akar kuning
@@arandomguy46 Thanks, I hope Indonesian scientists could patent this before big pharma steals it.
They also make edibles to eat
Someone needs to keep an extra eye on this one. This is how planet of the apes started. Lol
Some body know exactly what leafs is was? / Sweden!
They also self medicate with alcohol . Especially by eating fermented fruit thaf fell on the ground.
And he kisses the tree to say thank you for healing me 🥹😍
How did he know which leaf to use and to make a paste 1st ?
The same way people do, probably. Someone taught him. Usually a parent.
So they have a body of knowledge that is passed down, including medical ?
@mrdman094081 Yes. Many animals do. Check out the different family skills of killer whales for a really clear example, or birds with their complex tool manufacturing and use skills, or most animals that hunt.
Name this tree
Birds will ruffle their feathers on anthills to help drive off parasites as the ants spray formic acid at them. The reason this seems remarkable is because oragutans have fingers. It seems more human like.
Its sad we keep making the most beautiful animals on the planet extinct. Shame on us. As a species. I am just a witness to the atrocity. If i was a billionare i would spend money trying to make the world better. Not worse
So well said. Thank you.❤
Sadly, the prime attribute that leads to billionaire status is 'insatiable greed'... though 'luck' is also necessary, and 'sociopathic cruelty' probably helps.
@@yishnirBillionaires create jobs that are able to hire people like you.
@@elijahrodgers416 And billionaires keep getting richer while those people they and their companies employee frequently battle to survive.
@elijahrodgers416 LOL. And yet, as billionaires increase, so too does homelessness and hunger. Strange. It's almost like, 'the more resources are dragged to one side of an equation, the less there are on the other side'. And look! We have more than a century of data on wealth distribution, taxation, and employment... all showing EXACTLY the same thing! ;-)
Now Man Will Go Out and Take What He Can And Leave Them with Nothing
Amazing 😍
i heard there's an orangutan messiah
Really ??? 😂
