The Worst TikTok I Have Ever Seen 

Ok ok, imma set this straight, I am a Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major and I work in a lab. There are only 20 amino acids (what she is calling peptides), it is not possible for there to be another one. The way your body makes proteins is by transcribing your DNA (that is composed of different base pairs, ATGC) into mRNA. This mRNA is then translated into protein. They way this works is that every 3 base pairs is read together and is known as a codon. These codons are what code dor different amino acids. Basically there are a finite amount of codons that exist that code for amino acids and we know what all of them code for. This is 100% a lie and completely false Also, Sodium Phenylbutyrate's chemical formula is C10H11NaO2, the formula she shows is sodium, phosphorus, and Boron and literally doesn't exist. Aaaand no, that is absolutely not an amino acid, A. They have nitrogen, B. No Hydroxide group and C. No carboxyl group, this is so sad.

As a person who is involved in treating people with cancer, I love and I hate this type of content. I love cringe, but there are too many cases where people have listened to bullshit like this, believed it and missed the moment where they could've been successfully treated. And this is enraging, to be honest.

This is why I don't use TikTok. Anyone can make up anything & 1000's of people suddenly become believers.

The way she speaks about it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world is so creepy! Like you can tell she's actually mad and thinks she's right and the smartest person in the world for "figuring this out" and something about it just gives me the creeps

Little does she know that everyone has cancer cells but it is only bad when it gets out of hand

I've lost atleast 3 family members due to cancer including my dad when I was 16(he was 35). And people spreading nonsense such as this tumor on society is doing, are truly pitiful. For anyone else who has experienced similar experiences, my condolences, and let's just try to be better than these clowns trying to do/say anything to get put into the spotlight. Great video August, much respect, keep up the good work.

When Jack and Kay are suddenly good content, you got to be on tiktok

"You don't fry your braiiiin-ah from kemoooo-ah," Sounds like she doesn't have anything to fry but okay.

Right off the bat, I was enraged by that beginning.

as a person whose grandfather died of cancer recently, i'm beyond enraged by what this tiktok just said about cancer and want to not just cancel it, but end all of tiktok to end 20% to 35% of stupidity in this world.

As someone with epilepsy, I feel like people mix the words treatment and cure up way too much Like there’s also no cure for epilepsy but there are ways to treat it (mainly daily medication) Obviously cancer is more serious than most cases of epilepsy, but it reminds me of another example of people mixing up treatments and cures

There is a cure but the guy that found it decided that instead of protecting the ones he loves and other people, instead of becoming a billionaire, instead of getting a Nobel prize, instead of getting fame, decided that a conspiracy was so much better.🙄 My mother died from cancer and these people infuriate me.

she is absolutely the type to give up red meat for not being healthy while simulatiously not going to the doctor or being vaccinated

I am a two-time cancer survivor. This crap makes me so mad but I also can't help but laugh at the stupidity. 😂

Her whole peptide talk very beginning of her video is literally something that is quoted in nutty professor followed by "oh I just had a bunch of words make myself sound important smart."

It can be very hurtful for people like me who have lost their mum or someone else to cancer. I believed it for about a year after she died and it wrecked my head. I dont allow myself to fall into conspiracies anymore

C-Theories can be fun. I had a few people believing that the Earth is getting warmer because the dragons are reawakening and hatching. Creating an exothermic reaction in order to crack out of the giant eggs buried deep in several "dormant" volcanos.

im certainly not the first one to say this but, having a mom that survived a very harsh cancer and is still suffering from lasting effects, yeah i absolutely HATE people saying that ''omg cancer doesnt exist'' or ''omg cancer is so easy to cure'' its like... shut up god

Her: The FDA has said this pill is non-toxic Also her: do you trust the FDA? You’re a fool. Educate yourself

Imagine a world without TikTok.

I just lost my mom to cancer in january and this was just unbearable to watch. Some people really think this is la la land and speak from ignorance as if they've achieved some kind of enlightenment when they haven't even seen how brutal and miserable cancer really is...I'm just devastated, really, I hope she comes to her senses one day and stops spreading her bullshit to desperate and suffering people...thank you for telling things as they are, August.

I work in cancer research at a top cancer hospital in the US. Thank you for making this video; everything this woman said just left me completely lost for words. I genuinely had this face irl 😨

The world is getting worse 💀

I feel your anger I lost my beloved dog to lung cancer and I can't stand the people for doing crap like that

My wife had breast cancer..... sigh....it was heart breaking to not get help from the pink ribbon foundations, instead they emailed up three time a day asking for donations

Watching these kind of videos make me lose the very few brain cells that I have. I don’t know how you’re able to watch these practically daily

“You need to be educated” Says the woman who talks like a Valley Girl and her hair doesn’t even look good like that.

My mother passed from cancer last August. A guy my husband worked with was given only months. He went to duke and did stem cells but did something with them first and he survived. Wanted my mom to try after she couldn't do chemo but she was too sick by then and couldn't make the trip. The pharmacy said she was refilling her inhaler too soon and had to wait until the next day. She couldn't breathe without it and collapsed. She was rushed to the hospital and they blamed the chemo affecting her breathing. But it wasn't that it was the pharmacy not wanting to fill her inhaler one day early. We told the doctor but he refused and blamed the chemo and wouldn't do it anymore. She was on chemo for months and doing fine. The breathing didn't happen until the pharmacy refused to fill her inhaler one day too soon and made her wait until the next day. Ridiculous.

Imagine if this girl's zodiac was cancer💀

I think this lady is delusional. However, for the sake of discussion, I think it would be interesting to point out one case where "hiding the cure for cancer" would be more profitable than the cure itself, but this is the only one I can think of: This Industry of Cancer Charity predominantly the commercialization of the search for the cure (especially the pink support merch) These organizations campaign for the cure for cancer, but if the cure for cancer was discovered their business model would suffer. An interesting conundrum that I find fascinating, though unsure of the wider implications. Thoughts? I am legitimately curious to hear people's take on this angle.

My grandma died in march from cancer behind her thyroid. What she is doing is disgusting. If there was a cure, don't you think that we'd pay extra money for? Seeing how the cancer affected my grandma was heartbreaking. In one year she lost more than 50kg, couldn't walk, couldn't eat nor drink water. She could barely speak. My grandpa is undernourished because he felt bad eating while his wife is struggling to breathe. Her mom and dad died from cancer. My aunt also has cancer.

This is why you scrutinize everything that's on the internet... Even I'm not dumb enough to believe everything I read, see, or hear without cross-referencing the information received.

As someone who lost a parent to cancer i feel purest hatred for people like this.

Honestly, I hope August gets over 3 million subs by 2024.

The whole time she's talking like "I know exactly what I'm talking about" I have this scene in my head where Johnny Depp says "were you there?"

“There always has been a cure for cancer” 💀

It's a shame there's no cure for stupidity. I totally get your point and channel. You're absolutely right these people are dangerous and need to be shut down or held accountable. Big respect and love from a fan in Northern England. 🇬🇧

It's been said. Many, many times. But we NEED to delete TikTok. We just need to end it.

My dads friend recently had a mental breakdown and started talking about how aliens have been filleting her and was just taken to a mental institution….I think we have to pull her out. This nut case needs the room more

I lost my father to cancer about 8 years ago, and I HATE people like this. My father got treatment that gave him an extra 15 years of life because he decided to seek help from QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS who specialize in Cancer treatment at one of the foremost cancer treatment centers in America. PLEASE don't listen to people like her.

Reminds me of my former roommate. Besides being a burned out, alcoholic midlifer with no future, he was BIG into conspiracy theories of the...shall we say... Yiddish variety and among them he swore there was a cure for cancer (something about stones) and that it was the Yiddish doctors and big pharma just holding it back. None of it made a lick of sense but trying to argue with a blackout drunk boomer with nothing to lose was just not worth the stress.

Imagine walking around your house videoing yourself after you wiki something.

Tik tok is slowly making our society dumber

Cancer is 600 hundred separate diseases with complex pathologies, some of which we do have cures for, many have effective treatments, and at least one has a vaccine. The reason we haven't "cured" cancer as a whole yet as a whole is because cancer is an inevitable consequence of our biology if you live long enough and don't die of something else first cancer will be something you have to deal with eventually. We will probably get there one day though, there are breakthroughs all the time and people don't usually like dying.

My brain has a stroke every time I see these people

"Tiktok won't do anything to your child" The child:

I wish there was a cure for cancer. My great uncle (paramedic) knew for a fact he had cancer but the doctors said he was cancer free. Well guess what happened a week later, I was going to his funeral in Levy county

This is why questioning is necessary. We were gifted with the ability to ask questions. And she didn't do any of that. The reason science exists is to ask questions and cancer has always been a difficult one to reach. But thats why we trial and error things in the hopes we can one day correct this unfortunate illness and others. And to you, Mr. Duck, i specifically say I'm so sorry you lost loved ones to it. Bless you and anyone who has gone through that pain.

I wish I could see duck’s facial expressions while he watches these for the first time

If the whole conspiracy theory only works because of America's messed up health care system, just take a damn look at countries with universal health care! Like, I live in Denmark, and if this pill really worked, don't you think this government would rather just give patients that and get them back to tax paying status, as quickly as possible in stead of paying for the chemo, the hospital stays, the everything!? I lost my grandmother to breast cancer in 2005 and my dad to lung cancer in 2004. This shit frustrates me so much. Just LOOK at other countries!! The US is not the damn world.

TikTok is why I weep for the future.

To be fair, we shouldn’t call some cancer treatments as “cures.” We should refer to surgeries, transplants, chemotherapy as things to alleviate cancer symptoms, or simply “cancer alleviation.”

I was DEFINITELY one of those ppl at one point believing that the government was, in fact, distributing cancer for money. Upon hearing someone spew the same sentiment… I now know I was right in keeping those thoughts to myself 😭😂😂😂

3:37 SHE BUILT LIKE A TITAN

When her eyes get big and she makes extra crazy face is nightmare fuel

her whole thing also relies on her assumption that no one outside of the usa is researching cancer treatments. like if it were that easy and known about it would have slipped through somewhere surely

6:20 to be fair, she said they dont want a cure for cancer, which you then changed to "treatment", then you stated the exact reason WHY they dont want a cure... The money is in the treatment, not the cure. Cure a patient and they pay once. Treat a patient and they pay for life. Its all about the money, as you, yourself, stated.

I was mad at the first few words that came out of her mouth.. I had 3 family members that died of cancer its nothing to joke or spread misinformation about. So I checked the cost of this doctor's treatment. 28k for the first month then 16k every month after that for a year. You don't just take one pill and your done. Also insurance won't cover a dime. I know out of pocket expenses after ins for chemo is outrageous but at least insurance will pick up the bulk of the treatment.

I think the worst tiktok trend is the *KIA challenge" where people video themselves stealing cars. Donut Operator, a RU-vidr and former policeman has a friend who arrived at an accident in which a couple Kia thieves who went on a joyride crashed, got ejected from the car and were literally turned into red stains on the asphalt. *Don't steal cars m'kay.*

Tiktok is the worst for giving everyone confidence they shouldn't have

I was getting migraines from this, fortunately I kept my cool listening to this tiktok nonsense after losing an uncle and my own mother to cancer.

alr so i finished cooking school, im a chef, ik my stuff, you should deffinitely eat protein, 1g of protein has 17 kilojoul (kj), fat has 37kj, 1g of carbohydrates have 17kj...yall can see that protein is still good right? if anyone wants to get into way more detail im very much down to help and explain (btw 1calorie (kcal) = 4.2 (kj),we use kj to do math more persice.

Ah, the genre of video where people say baseless things that they googled moments ago while irritatingly smirking

The red Meat thing.... I’m a blod doner and one of the times that I’ve donated I heard a man said to a nurse that he, the same night was gonna go out and have a steak and red Wine for dinner and he did that every time after a donation.. the nurse said that It’s good cause the steak is High on iron and that is what we need in our body when we give blod.

Not going to lie I love how hyperbolic August the Duck is 😂

I'm literally losing my mind over the flaws/gaps in her argument that have no basis or logic. First all of, you don't study to get your phD in medical school, it is MD or DO and if you tag a phD onto that, it is STILL called an MD-phD degree. Which says to me she doesn't know the difference between Doctor of Medicine vs Doctor of Philosophy. Yes, there's roughly 20 essential Amino Acids that make up the human body, but there's hundreds of Amino Acids in general. Also, there's thousands of 'peptides' and they are simply 'what makes up a protein' which is almost entirely unrelated to cancer in itself. There are numerous ways cancer is caused and it's so extensive that we have cancer specialists. Our own cells can cause cancerous cells and tissues that our body naturally destroys. CERTAIN peptides can target cancer cell membranes and induce cell death, but these are NOT the same peptides that are the building blocks of protein DNA... As in, the only part she isn't totally wrong about is that 'peptides' have been somewhat successful as a form of cancer treatment, but it by no means cures cancer nor is 100% successful/effective at it. Most of the articles I found over it are outdated. I think it is both insensitive and counterproductive to misinform people the way she is. She doesn't even have a strong, well researched, completed argument, she's just spitting out info she is fuming over. Spreading information about cancer treatment through peptides would have been more beneficial to herself and the general public... yet here we are. 🤦🤷

They used frequency vibration to shatter liukemia cells like you would shatter a wine glass with sound. Forgot the university but it was about 4 years ago.

Playing devil's advocate: I say "planned obsolescence". If you have the cure, then you get 1 customer. If you have the silver medal where it's 50% likely to return, then you have potential repeat customers. It's business.

Teacher: today we are gonna beat pencil Kid named ben: ambatakam🙀😫

7:32 omg perfect paused face 😂😂

Me and my sister always sit down at night and watch your new videos. We don’t watch them without one another

Damn man, I’m sorry but I didn’t watch your channel in a while since I was from a long time but you were literally at 12k subs literally an year ago and looking at you now is amazing

it's not scary that she has this theory , it's scary that she believes in it so confidently

As someone who has cancer on both sides of her family, it would be wonderful if we found a cure. Unfortunately, this isn't it

I lost my mom and dad and step mom and grandma and I don't remember a cure for cancer other wise my family would have been alive Cancer sucks I agree with you brother thanks for the video

I have never and will never regret my decision to not download TikTok.

As somebody who lost his mother to cancer it's very fun when spicy duck is on the menu on this channel.

August talking about Oklahomas speeding tickets is the realest thing ever. They will give you tickets for going 57 in a 54. It's something you gotta come to terms with living in Oklahoma

6:40 you ain't lying August about the cost. I've been going through chemo for almost 3 years now, have another year to go, and if I had to pay for the treatment myself, I'd be sitting at $1.7 million in costs in NWA. The VA and Medicaid is paying for it all, but if there was a one and done cure like she claims, the government would jump on it in a heartbeat to save themselves from paying.

A cure for cancer? A whole year after my uncle died from it? So many of my family members died from it and just found out my grandma might have it? Yo can I get the death cure as well? Some people need to be slapped

As long as there are stupid people on the internet, August's channel will flourish.

This girl Should be locked up. For everybody’s safety including hers.🤦

this is why i'm 🏳‍🌈

Cancer rates are 1 in 2 in the US. It is important that misinformation not be believed.

My mother had ovarian cancer when I was 15, thankfully she was able to have it surgically removed but not everyone is fortunate

Does she think the FDA and USDA are the same thing??? 💀💀

Source: trust me bro

My Father has blood cancer. He went through chemo therapy and and a stem cell treatment. Seeing things like this hurts me as it makes my mother hopeful.

I have turned this into a "regret becoming sober" challenge.

How do people always think the government is responsible for things like this? If anything, it's pharmaceutical corporations who would be the ones milking desperate people for a profit.

I lost my aunt to cancer it's not something to be joked about. Clout ruins humanity.

I feel like the problem with this is that those people don’t understand that cancer is not a disease you catch like a cold or the flu for example, but an inability to correctly form or duplicate a cell, usually formed by damage in your DNA (which can also have multiple reasons as to why it happened [and yes, this is very broken down for simplification reasons]), which cannot be treated with medicine but with more innovative methods: e.x. mRNA vaccination for people with NHL, still researched antibody treatment methods, and so on. This is basically your own body trying to hurt itself, so it is much more difficult to preserve your functioning cells and your body and fight cancer. People are just not educated enough to understand this and come up with wiiild theories since that’s what their brains can comprehend (they have access to research, they could educate themselves better), chemo also doesn’t fight cancer but slows down your cell division so a) doctors gain more time with treating the patient, and b) radiation therapy can work more effectively as cancer won’t spread so quickly due to the chemo and you can focus on where the cancer sits (again, this is very broken down but hopefully it helps just one person a little better to understand how difficult and how many aspects come into treating cancer, and why it is so difficult)

My mom said that Astrolgoy is just Quantom Physics. She tells me that it's a proven fact and the "readings" she does are very accurate. I asked her to tell me anything about what Quantum Phsyics is, and she had no idea what anything was (neither do I, but if she claims it is, she should know why it is.) She also says that she can feel energy and tell how anyone is, based on her "Physic Abillty." I don't think I can take it anymore lmao Edit: Also, she thinks that the readings she does are a very accurate way to tell how people act, and she can know how to act around them to get what she wants.

I’m not even surprised anymore another girl another brain cell

She is utterly despicable

I love the part where he alleges that the FDA won’t manufacture this guy’s drug and I’m like “yeah, duh” 😂 does she think that’s what the FDA does?

Sodium phenylbutyrate isn't even a peptide like she claims it is. 🤦 "Phenyl-" means there's a benzene group in the molecule. "Butyrate" means it is the salt form of butyric acid, which is a 4-carbon carboxylic acid. A peptide is a special molecule that is made up of 2 or more amino acids that are bound to each other via amide bonds. Amino acids have an amine group (nitrogen) and a carboxylic acid group in the same molecule. Sodium phenylbutyrate has a carboxylic acid group but no amine group; it is not an amino acid. So no, it isn't a peptide. She can't even get that right. So her whole argument of its a peptide exists in some people but not in others falls apart.

Yeah when i got diagnosed my father told me not to take the chemo because nobody ever got better from it. The only reason i am still alive today is because i took the chemo and radio therapy. Don't listen to idiots. See a real doctor if something seems wrong. Even then, don't just trust any doctor. It took me 8 months of trying to convince 4 different doctors to please open up the giant lump in my neck. One of them guaranteed me it could not be cancer, but i was right in the end. Fun fact: Some idiot nurse put in the iv wrong and the chemo poured into my arm. It swole up and turned purple. I told her to take it out and she said there was nothing wrong. Had to get real angry before they took it out. Never expect someone knows what they are doing. I think god wants me dead lmao

August the duck might be the best RU-vidr ever because he always posts a wide variety of content and he should have another million subs by 2024

Haha 😂 she knows way to much. If that tiktok goes down the government got her. 😂
