- We've covered Facebook.
We've covered Instagram.
We've covered Twitter.
Now, It's YouTube's turn.
Let's see what misinformation lies in the heart of YT.
Oh, and a huge thank you to Omaze for sponsoring this video.
- Hey Lilly, I brought some stuff for you.
(bonk)
- Oh my knee!
- What happened?
- Oh my god, she touched the luggage
and she blew up with a purple bruise.
That quickly? Did she have a hemophilia issue?
- How can I go out with this bruise?
- Wear pants! First aid hack.
Egg. Is she making a snack?
Wait until it's warm.
Repeat three times a day?
Does she want it to hatch
or does she wanna fix her bruise?
When you have a bruise, that's essentially a hematoma -
broken blood vessels.
If you bring warmth to that area,
you're increasing circulation.
Thereby, increasing the bleeding
in the broken blood vessels,
thereby increasing the bruise size.
You want to do the opposite in the beginning
in the acute stages,
and you want to shunt blood away from it
by putting ice and cold.
I beg that you do not rub an egg on your leg.
Swegg.
Sinus, migraine, tension, cluster.
Okay, so it's kind of explaining
different types of headaches.
Although the idea of a sinus headache
is not a true headache.
That's sort of been debunked.
Massage for one minute. (laughs)
Yeah, I would like for someone
to massage my head for a minute.
Yes, facts, facts no postal mail.
Is that what the kids say?
See, I'm a hip. I'm cool.
What you cool kids up to?
Oh, sinus headaches. Look at that. Look at that.
Here I was treating their sinus infections,
but all I had to do is this.
Next time a patient comes into my office
and complains of headache I'm just gonna go like this.
Let's see how fast I lose my medical license.
(bloop)
8 best acupressure points to treat body pains and aches.
Okay, let's see it.
What am I treating there?
A medial epicondylitis?
Reduces high fevers and soothes sore throat?!
No, no, no, literally, they're making stuff up.
They're not even, (exhales)
I think anatomically what's in this area?
What nerves? What muscles? What connective tissue?
What organs are... not in this area,
but like, what organs are in there?
What can go wrong with these tissues?
And then we start ruling out these diagnoses.
BRIGHT SIDE apparently is like,
elbow, throat, fever.
What's the connection?
Four fingers above the belly button, pressure point.
(laughs) This is ridiculous.
There is no scientific validity to this.
Massage clockwise, massage counter-clockwise.
If you're massaging it with one finger,
it's not gonna do anything, like it just won't.
I promise.
You might stimulate your bowels
just cause you're rubbing the area.
They should get in trouble,
like YouTube should take this down.
Eliminates gas, deflates the stomach.
No checking why the gas is problematic.
No checking to see if the patient has an infection.
To see if they have an overgrowth of bad bacteria.
No, no, no, no. They're just like,
rub clockwise, rub counterclockwise, all good.
Five unusual and useful secrets about our bodies.
If you can't sneeze, look at a source of bright light.
If you can't sneeze?
Do people walk around wanting to sneeze?
- [Sam] If like, you're on the verge of a sneeze
and you're trying to ignite the sneeze,
- Yeah.
- [Sam] you look at a bright light.
- And then what happens?
- [Sam] It would make you sneeze...?
- That's, what? There's gotta be more to it.
He's rubbing his, if you really need the toilet,
(laughs) okay, scratch the back part of your shin.
This will slow the signal from your bladder to your brain.
What? Who? I realized your strategy.
Just say the most ridiculous thing ever
and people will treat it as if it's a breakthrough thought.
Especially if they're benign like this,
no one's gonna get mad at you for saying this.
Except me, clearly.
Look at my veins.
Tell me what I should do for this BRIGHT SIDE.
If you have a ticklish feeling in your throat,
scratch your ear.
This will cause a muscle spasm.
(laughs and claps) Let's disprove this guy right here.
Oh, no muscle spasm.
Try it on yourself. No muscle spasm.
If you're feeling really nervous,
blow on your thumb, it has its own pulse.
(laughs hysterically)
I'm gonna see if it'll help, cause I'm really (laughs)
(blows and cries)
It didn't work.
If your arm has gone numb,
move your head around in a circular motion,
this will cause the blood flow in your arm,
due to the twisting of the nerves in your neck.
If your arm has gone numb,
you could be having a stroke or heart attack.
Number one, I'll say that as a doctor.
Number two, yeah, If you move your neck around
and your neck was like this,
and you were cutting off the circulation
to your blood vessel, not your nerve,
your arm could have gone numb.
Will it solve everyone's problems?
If they're having a heart attack
and you're going like this,
and actively causing yourself to pass out.
Not a good idea BRIGHT SIDE.
Really quick,
let me tell you about my partnership with Omaze.
They're supporting an amazing nonprofit folds of honor
that provides educational scholarships
to the spouses and children
of America's fallen and disabled service members.
You could potentially win an Austin dream home.
That's right, a four bedroom, four bathroom
palace of a home with a total of 3,250 square feet
or $1.3 million.
All you have to do is visit omaze.com/doctormike,
remember, doctor is spelled out and it's linked down below.
Let's get back to the video.
Okay? There's stress happening.
Headache, light sensitivity, perhaps a migraine.
Closing the shades smart.
Very painful headache. He's gonna give her a massage.
Warm water, frozen product.
Pulls blood down from your head relieving headache.
What? I mean, there's so many headache remedies out there.
How is this the one they recommend?
Who is trying this?
If you tried this, please let me know why. Why?
I think he just wanted to make the fries,
so he was defrosting them using her neck.
How to check your health in one minute.
(alarm sound)
Imagine we waste all this time in healthcare,
struggling to check our patient's health.
But, BRIGHT SIDE knows that it one minute
you can check your health.
Pass a spoon over the whole surface of your tongue.
Tell me they're gonna send it to the lab.
Put the spoon in a clear packet.
Place it under some light.
They're gonna culture your mouth?
After one minute, check the spoon.
A clean spoon without blotches or an unpleasant smell,
no problems with your health. (laughs)
If you have like a urinary tract infection,
but your mouth is clean, then BRIGHT SIDE's like,
you're all good.
You walk into a doctor's office,
"Doctor, I sprained my ankle.
I have this like thing on my leg
and this doctor told me I have a tumor in my tibia.
What do you think I should do?"
(Slurping)
Oh no. You don't have any problems with your health.
The spoon is clear.
"Doctor. I said, it's my ankle."
I work for BRIGHT SIDE. Shh, SHH.
It's sweet, you may be diabetic.
All right that one like I can get with,
like you could have, a fruity odor on your breath
if you are severely diabetic,
but you need to be severely diabetic to have that.
They are purple color bronchitis.
What? I have never, this is not gonna work.
This will never happen.
No person with high cholesterol will lick a spoon
and it will turn purple.
Statistically, scientifically, medically, mathematically,
even in literature this is not real.
Orange colored kidney problems.
They're literally just making stuff up.
"Guys, what colors? Oh, orange, kidney.
Yeah you're right, good kidney.
Purple? Purple? Oh, cholesterol. Cool. Cool, cool."
No Logic.
Control your body.
Got a headache from eating cold food?
Press the tongue to the roof of your mouth.
Brain freeze, also known as sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia,
talk about a mouthful,
can actually be cured by touching the top of your
upper palate area, with your tongue,
because apparently your tongue has a lot of blood vessels,
so it's fine.
It's fine BRIGHT SIDE, you win on that one.
Can't stop laughing. Pinch yourself. (Laughs)
Can you imagine, can't stop laughing?
Punch yourself in the face.
Itchy mosquito bite?
Please be good advice. Apply some deodorant.
There's treatments for mosquito bites.
Put a little corticosteroid on it. My God.
Can't get to sleep?
Blink fast for 1 minute (laughs)
I mean, this is ridiculous.
They're literally just saying stuff.
"Got a headache? Lift up your arm.
Got a pancreatitis? Lift up your leg."
How emotions affect our bodies.
Anger, weakens the liver. (laughing)
You can actually say any negative emotion
can impact any organ negatively. This has truth to it.
But the fact that they're isolating a specific organ
is complete BS.
Anger, weakens your body if it's chronic,
because you're in this hyper fight or flight
sympathetic state and as a result,
your blood pressure is higher.
Your stress hormones are higher.
Therefore you're not recovering.
You're not getting nutrients out of food as well.
And as a result, your organs kind of suffer chronically.
Not just your liver.
What do you think your brain is like chilling
and your liver is like, (bellowed roar)?
Anxiety. Okay anxiety in the stomach actually do have
an important connection.
Cause the gut-mind-brain connection is real.
And also the stomach is oftentimes the first place
where you feel anxiety,
the term butterflies in your stomach,
because of the hyper sympathetic state.
So basically you have two types of nervous systems
in your body:
parasympathetic and sympathetic.
Sympathetic fight or flight. You see bear, you run away.
Parasympathetic is rest and digest,
which is good for your stomach.
You get circulation going there.
So if you see a lion or a bear,
all the blood flow would leave your stomach,
well, not all of it, but most of it will leave your stomach,
go to your legs, to help you escape,
go to your lungs, all that stuff.
So anxiety does affect the stomach, I vibe with this one.
Love brings inner peace and harmony
and strengthens our mind and body.
Who's a savage that's gonna disagree with this?
Who is gonna look at this and be like,
"Love, horrible for your organs"? (laughs)
Honestly, love is horrible for your organs
if it's not reciprocated,
and your partner leaves you,
and they ghost you.
Like you text them--
but okay, I'm talking about my problems.
Hold on, I got to sneeze.
What was the hack to stop the sneeze?
Oh, it is to make yourself sneeze.
Like, (sneezes) oh my God, it worked!
- [Sam] Take back every single negative...
- Everything negative thing I said about BRIGHT SIDE
I take back, I'm sorry.
Okay. Brush, brush, brush.
You don't want to brush that hard.
That looks a little aggressive. Oh my goodness.
Now wait a second, wait a second.
She's doing aloe Vera from the plant.
She's brushing with Aloe Vera.
See, I could have helped this individual
without the aloe vera.
Don't brush your teeth so aggressively, step one.
Step two, perhaps you have gingivitis
and you need a visit to the dentist.
You need to figure out why your gums are bleeding.
There's also mouthwashes that have Aloe Vera in them
as part of the ingredients to help with bleeding gums.
Unless you cure or attack the source of the inflammation,
it's gonna keep happening.
A heart attack in women does not happen the same way
as with men.
The first really good piece of advice from BRIGHT SIDE
that I've seen, my GodB
Because classically, when we look at research articles,
they've been described by white men
who say that they have an elephant sitting on their chest,
and we call that classical heart attack symptoms.
But that is not the way most humans experience them.
We have to think about diversity
when we're looking at research.
Pain in the chest, shoulders, arm, and neck, and left arm.
Pain in the chest, back or the jaw. True.
And you gotta throw in some other symptoms in there
like shortness of breath, diaphoresis AKA sweating,
cold heavy sweating, there you go,
anxiety, weakness or tightness.
Totally.
Sometimes it can even feel like heart burn or stomach pain.
(laughs) Stomach upset, nausea, digestive upset,
heart burn, vomiting, labored breathing, coughing,
we talked about that.
Flu like symptoms, breathlessness, facts,
facts no post office.
Before a heart attack, there was physical exertion.
There were strong physiological stress.
That could actually happen for anybody.
Because if you have stress,
whether it's physical or emotional,
that raises your heart rate,
which increases work on the heart.
And if you have blockages in the heart,
you're gonna exacerbate how much damage
is happening in the heart.
At the slightest sign of a heart attack,
see a doctor and perform an ECG.
If you're having these symptoms,
you should absolutely call 911.
Especially if you have like risks for heart disease,
family history, age,
cholesterol issues, diabetes, et cetera,
but you should also have a good rapport with your doctor,
for them to be able to perform certain things,
to make sure that you are at low risk
for developing heart disease.
In fact, we do a calculated test
where we look at your cholesterol,
your blood pressure, other variables,
and we do a calculation on
what is your risk to have vascular disease,
either a stroke or a heart attack, in the next 10 years.
And based off that we can give some recommendations
on some medications.
Literally the worst medical games I've played of all time.
They're right here.
