I'm a "crystal person" and also very scientifically minded, and this is pretty much what I say haha. Each one makes me feel a different mood so I carry the one that makes me feel what I need to feel that day. 😊
I hang crystal prisms in my windows so that rainbows appear on the walls when sunlight comes at the angle to make that happen. I suppose it illustrates a scientific effect regarding the light spectrum, and I don't believe crystals have any inherent power. Nonetheless, it is undeniable the joy I feel when surrounded by rainbows.
You kind of failed to point out the possible "what is the cause and what is the effect?" problem with knuckle cracking. I played flute for decades, and the REASON I used to crack my knuckles was because they were a bit swollen and damaged so cracking them alleviated some of the pain... they would get stiff and even if purely a placebo effect, that pop had a very real effect on pain perception. It forced my brain to stop fixating on the stiff swollen almost pulsing sort of pain and get 'zapped' in a sense by the sudden jolt of sound and physical motion of the cracking. Even if purely through distraction, my pain lessens when I pop them because they're swollen. I don't think I'm the only one who does it to improve how loose/flexible my fingers feel (toes, too-I can't splay them as far apart or stretch them as high and low before popping them as after). Just a thought. Surprised it wasn't mentioned. Still a great video!
When I had a Texas lawn I was the only one in my neighborhood adhering to the drought imposed watering scheduled. I let my lawn go tan and crispy and loved a summer off from mowing. I would have xeriscaped eventually had I not fled the state
I’ve done cleanses that really helped my sinus problems(dairy related) and digestive system issues. I’m pretty sure just illuminating selective foods would have done the trick but the cleanse really drove it home to me the effects of a poor quality diet.
Yeah. but just some of the more than five hundred individual functions of the liver including making bile, processing nutrients, storing glycogen as well as some vitamins and minerals, maintaining blood sugar, making plasma proteins and clotting and immune factors, and removing bacteria and old red blood cells. And it's not always working at its best…
I worked for a Urologist/ Surgeon. WATER 💦 IS water, and there is no ‘substitute’. Not coffee, not colas, not juice. And, as for ‘where’ he quoted his research; well we all know what the CDC AND WHO credibility has been ‘ lately’.
Your pronunciation of the names of Hungary's best scientists needs some serious work - it's like you weren't even trying. Which in itself is fine, they are hard, but within the context of a video that is meant to be educational...pretty poor effort.
The amount of water you need per day varies greatly with climate. For example, in Death Valley in the summer (Temp. 130F humidity 0.25%) you need to drink a *LOT* more than normal. More than a gallon, but I can't remember the exact number. In fact, you need to carry 1 gallon of water per passenger incase you break down. It might take a few hours to be rescued and people have died waiting for help.
Yep. If they were giving them away, I'd say there was no harm. But just like all other health scams and MLMs and such, people are doing this instead of things that will help them - opportunity costs due to actual costs. Then you get these same leeches telling people actual medicine is a scam and blaming "big pharma" anti-vaxxers who, ironically, originate from one British doctor doing exactly what these people are afraid of "big pharma" doing - lying for profit (Andrew Wakefield's bogus study about MMR vaccines to increase the value of individual vaccines he had the patent on, which caused him to be disbarred, and who should be in prison for the rest of his life if there were any true justice). You want crystals, buy them from someone selling them to rock collectors.
It's not like I'd be able to stop cracking my knuckles even if I knew it was bad. And about grip strength... I went to physical therapy after getting surgery to fix my broken distal radius. The therapist would measure my grip strength each time. I only ever got back to about 80% of the strength compared to my uninjured hand. But that was still 300% of the therapist's grip strength and she didn't have any hand injury. So it's all relative. Unless your grip is too weak to hold on to the things you need to hold, it probably doesn't matter if you have slightly weakened hands from knuckle cracking.
"I just read it for the peer-reviewed articles covering chest diseases and related issues, including pulmonology, cardiology, thoracic surgery, transplantation, breathing, airway diseases, and emergency medicine."
i wonder which of these new age "remedies" actually produce the best placebo effects... honestly tho, sometimes people simply need to take a good solid break and indulge in some me time. which is what meditation achieves wonderfully. or watching some chill youtube vids with no judgement, maybe?
I’m on several medicines that tend to make one thirsty - I average more like 4 liters of water (7 fills of my 20oz Contigo) just in water alone every day.
Of course caffeine isn't dehydrating, how could all the extreme sports activities be sponsored by RedBull, Rockstar and Monster if they weren't truly helpful and contributing factors for the great performances of these athletes who drink nothing else, ever? ;)
I'm a fan of SOME alternative medicine, such as herbal remedies. A lot of modern western medicine was derived from plants, such as aspirin and some antiseptics. The chemical compounds in medicinal plants are fascinating!
Humans beings come in a lot of sizes. The average adult is one hundred and ninety five pounds. The amounts of water needed depends on what size you are. What i go by is an half ounce of water for every pound of weight.
I just want the small little clip about crystals and I want to show it to every annoying girl on Facebook who is praying with a stone instead of going to a doctor.
In studies I have read I have found that the placebo effect is pretty awesome. It works even if you know it is a placebo. It works better if the placebo is an injection rather than a sugar pill. It also works better if the person administering the placebo is dressed like a medical professional.
Linus Pauling and Henry Heimlich are two of the best examples of respected scientists who ended up going just a _bit_ off the rails later in their careers.
I always figured the chicken soup thing was just because it was easy to digest and has a pretty good variety of nutrients to keep you going even if you're feeling to lousy to eat much of anything.
@@cherylcampbell9369 there WAS a world before soda too you know. We just drank when we were thirsty, had an extra glass of water in hot weather ant that was it.
I love your channel, even your particular performances, but I found a wrong fact claim: they called English sailors limeys because they took lemons.. which most Brits still call "Limes" today. So you were sort of right, but still very wrong. Limeys were actually Lemonheads
@@tjwash2 I have problems digesting things so it happens with coffee too... I need to drink a lot of water because coffee probably irritates my liver or my intestines
@@FNHot naah m8. alternative medicine, like conspiracists, cults, and communes, includes all kinds of people supporting them. Most of them seem to do it for existential comfort/distraction/purpose. ...Many clever people invest enough in these, wanting an initially arbitrary/foolish pursuit to be legit/honest, then find connections with science and stuff to make it logical/benevolent, etc. A redemption for those susceptible to the sunk cost fallacy, amen
I'm a big fan of Dr. Pauling. Interesting side anecdote: in 1963-4, when i was a kid, our Mom would megadose us with Vitamin C to help clear up poison oak, which was rampant in the woods around our house. Our faithful daily dose was 250mg, but those times with poison oak, it was 1,500-2,000. I really do think it helped. I have a vague memory that she did this because of Dr. Pauling's work. We lived in the Portland area, which is where Dr. Pauling was based, so it could've been a local news item. He was a cool guy, definitely.
At least you can't overdose on vitamin C. Some vitamins and minerals should not go over the recommended dose because the body cannot handle overdoses of them. With vitamin C if you take more than your body needs, then it flushes the extra out in urine.
I found these videos more interesting when John was presenting them. That said, this video is still interesting and informative, thanks for the video and all the great information.
Do you know the difference between alternative medicine and medicine? Science. I’ll take the one that has been *tested*, please, like turmeric for inflammation and antibiotics for bacterial infection.
Oh me there goes plummeting sales in every supplement now hehe :D, I do however drink more water now, oh I have to say this Pliny the elder gave someone several spoons of diamond dust and they died it was supposed to make them immortal well in a way it did but not the way it was supposed to ew
John Green always spoke so fast you had to really pay attention and kept his info concise. This guy is talking so slow that my mind wandered and 3.5 minutes in when he was still rambling about water I just gave up and stopped watching. Nothing against him personally, just the format and the script.
A relative of mine is suffering from pressure from a tumor near their brain instead of opioids to deal with the pain before surgery the family has opted with acupuncture/pressure it is working so much they have to wait to reach a certain weight they're a teen, I know, no one is complaining about the alternative treatment now just waiting on the surgery now.
