The Man Who Tried to Give Himself An Ulcer... For Science
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In 1984, Dr. Barry Marshall had a theory about ulcers that he couldn't convince the science community of. So, he took matters into his own hands... or stomach, and infected himself with a potentially deadly bacterium.

In other words, Dr. Barry Marshall experimented on himself because he had a... gut feeling.
Master Therion no
kin potatoes
Master Therion yes
Master Therion pls
well, he had the stomach for this kind of science

"In one gulp of meat broth, he swallowed a bunch of the bacteria." *Meat Broth.* Now that's science
60 Second Success You have to cease the opportunity
What do you think is in all those millions of Petrie dishes all over the world? Gold leaf?
60 Second Success and now i feel uncomfortable
thicc broth
Not exactly like you can get H. Pylori hard candies is it?
"It's for science" can get you away with anything
Not in Nigeria
What's wild to me is that TO THIS DAY I will STILL talk to people that say like "all this stress is giving me an ulcer" like you really cannot reason with people once they get an idea in their heads.
My sincerest heart-felt thanks to Barry Marshall and Robin Warren whose
radical thought showed that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori played a
major role in causing many peptic ulcers. This led to treatment that
saved my life.
Glad to have you still around, francis
but if someone is ready to experiment on themselves to prove their point i dont think it looks stupid. to me it looks really confident. I mean you have to have a lot of confidence in yourself to put your health in danger.
Tell that to franz reichelt.
well, there is such a thing as over confidence you know...
Tell Me This Theres a thin line between braveness and stupidity tho
Well, confidence and stupidity aren't exclusive. I'd even say that stupidity is pretty harmless without confidence.
"SACRIFICE THE BODY!!!"
now we need a electrical engineer who shocks his self to prove that a circuit works
face punch electroboom
face punch not an engineer, but am a commercial electrician... once in a while my volt meter will quit working, so sometimes I'll brush up against what ever I'm working on to test it. only had cardiac arrest once, but I'm still here. so pretty close...
i'm guessing you only do that with 120v circuits. Been shocked several times in my life from 120v, ever a problem. I take special care around 240v circuits though
face punch they do something similar sometimes
attach both ends of their arm to capacitors to see if it has charge going through it
or something similar, my high school physics teacher told me this, so not sure as to it's validity
face punch... Ummmm... ever heard of Nikola Tesla?
He did the original displays with electricity flying out of his fingertips to show "how safe it could be"... :o)
This has always been one of my favorite science stories. I can't even imagine being that salty and that sure of myself.
Where's all the people in the comments who have been diagnosed with and treated for H. pylori? I think we all owe Dr. Barry Marshall a thank you for potentially saving our lives
Brina
I have been diagnosed and treated for H Pylori but now I'm worried I might get cancer in my esophagus instead of in the stomach : /
What if the strain I previously had in my stomach was actually protecting me from getting cancer in the esophagus and/or was completely harmless to my stomach?
My doctor told me that I had inflammations down there though so maybe it was good to get rid of it?
I dunno, I think I'm just rambling at this point.
Alcazar fan from Kiruna If I had to guess, your doctor probably thought to check for H. pylori because you had a problem. Whether that was heartburn, reflux, or even a sore throat or coughing, I don't know. But if that problem went away, it was likely the H. pylori that caused it, and it's a good thing it's gone. If not, your stomach probably didn't need the H. pylori anyway. Although it may help a little bit, stomach and esophagus cancer still seem to be pretty rare as opposed to some other cancers, so there probably isn't anything to worry about :)
Other scientists refuse to believe Dr. Barry.
Dr Barry Marshal: Fine I will do it myself.
I had H Pylori. two years ago and god am I thankful for this discovery
This is crazy.
But here's my number.
So call me maybe.
XD
Gastritis is so painful like hecc man I ended up in the ER until 6:00 am (I entered at 11:00 PM) and... it was *painful*
Anna S. how is it painful? What are the symptoms?
Anna S. I second this. Absolutely awful
I have it right now and everybody refuses to treat me here in Washington
michael grossman do not consume any vinegar/ hot sauce/ processed foods/milk/ anything acidic. also take prilosec and black licorice and you will be all better. you can consume these every now and then just not on regular basis
Polishdd It basically feels like extreme bloating in your stomach and in your abdomen, where it hurts to move around too much, and it's painful to have pressure applied as well to your stomach or intestinal area.
As did Micheal Mosely. The person presenting quite a few BBC documentaries. Deserves the same credibility. I can link to a couple documentaries where he eats knowingly infected meat with embrionic cysts. He is just as insane as the subject of this video. From the title I assumed it would be Mosely, but i am fascinated to learn there are others. Brilliant video!
So someone drank his own cool-aide.
On a side note, don't take too much antacid. It can seriously damage your stomach lining. If you are finding yourself regularly taking antacid then go talk to your doctor, there are lots of reasons why, but you shouldn't be swigging on that bottle any more than occasionally.
Newton poked back of his eye with needles... Talk about crazy.
You can do ANYTHING as long as you say it's "for science".
Before this video there was an advert about a magic pen that mad me cry omg.
thay guy saved my life...i suffered through childhood and made it to 20 years old in 1990 before i started to go to the hospital a lot(nearly died wawa) then i gave up dairy products and the source of the bacterium that was my problem was gone...depending on your blood and tissue type the offending pathogen can be any number of different bacteria.
The stomach? 98.6 degrees of potentially rotting food. What could be in there? What kind of emulsion is created by exponential mixing of reactions? I ate leftovers without reheating them only to wake up two hours later vomiting. I think there might have been some stuff living in the food that I didn't kill with heat before I threw it in the fermentation vat of my stomach.
I had a Deja Vu with this video
*Man:drinks bleach*
*Me: how dumb are you??*
*Man: It's 4 Science*
I have a Stomach Ulcer, Sadly I do, I get pain when I get things to greasy, I have medication and I didnt have pain for now, my last pain was on the 3rd of June, Please be careful, I'm glad I'm not bleeding, or havent burst, I will get surgery if I have to..
2:00 bad breath is the worse 😷
Great video
H. Pylori is horrible. I had it for over 2 years because my doctor stopped practicing and never got back my biopsy results to see if I was still sick. About 6 months later we found out I was still sick after months of illness and pain. Then it took 2 rounds of strong antibiotics because the bacteria were resistant.
im on my second round of anti biotics. do you feel better now that its gone? how has it affected your life
A legend
now that's what I call dedicated.
Barry is one brave chap.
That dude was so sick he cured cancer
Now we just need a round of crazy thrill seeking scientists to create new forms of antibiotics.
He tested on himself because he could *stomach* the suffering of various people
I really wish we knew this much about mouth ulcers (canker sores) --___-- ......
everyone dies, at least they died doing something useful.
you should do a video on the surgeon who wanted to prove it was possible to get a catheter into the heart valve by performing the surgery on himself after his boss denied him the chance to practice it
The only mad scientist I know is Max Synaptic, and this doesn't sound like something he would do.
I blinded me for SCIENCE!
It could be said there is a thin line between Genius and insanity. That, of course, is a bold faced lie. The truth is, there is no difference, it is simply that the former's works are appreciated by mankind
Wait, he did that in 1984? Your telling me that 33 years ago, there were still debates on the source/cause of ulcers, and that in those 3 decades we went from the big mistery of gut bacteria to advancing to quantum nano cybernitization... I cant wait for the next 30 years. I predict adaptive gene therapy and DNA splicing. Bring on the mutants!
by 0.09secs in,👏😂nicely done
so what happens to normal good bacteria in probiotics such as in crud, are they all destroyed in stomach acid before reaching the intestinal track, i know some are designed to withstand the acids.
another super hero origin
But what if I have ulcers, but tested negative for Helicobacter Pylori? :(
Not all ulcers (or cases of gastritis) are caused by H. Pylori. NSAIDS are also another cause.
Stacey Alexander I'm almost positive that I have an ulcer bc of the immense burning sensation I have in my stomach and intense upper abdominal pains that I have. I'm waiting to get an endoscopy done, but I did test negative for h pylori
BLINK DANMIT!!! You're creeping me out!!
The old microbiologists in the nutshell.
The audio level on the outro music is VERY low...
For Science!!!
I guess he was a Barry good doctor
But would taking penicillin or clindomycin or zithromax for any number of reasons clear H. pylori as a side effect?
Is that the stuff bullet bary had?
Reflux is caused by too little acid, by the way.
He's an Aussie, of course
this is me i have that bacteria in my stomach any tips and tricks to not die?
I guess you could say he *Trusted his gut*
I'll leave now.
I live with ulcers. At least I think that's what it is. Approximately every 2 months I get bad stomach pains for 1-2 weeks. Its been going like that for about 4 years now. Unfortunately I can't afford to go see a doctor about it =(
licorice will help
This should be called the "Up Too Late On UA-cam Show"
he's a legend in biology lol
How can you catch helicobacter Pylori ?
next time someone tells me we need to experiment on animals, I will cite this man while saying some people will do it.
And if no one wants to that's because it's not ethical so it shouldn't be ethical to experiment on dogs or rats either.
I guess the people who didn't agree with him couldn't....digest the facts
Daniel Alcides Carrión, anyone? (I know Marshall's sacrifice saved people all over the world, but still)
So where's that bacteria come from? How do you get it? And does anti biotics make it worst by killing all the gut bacteria with it ?
If everyone thought acid would kill the bacteria, why couldn't he demonstrate it survives the acid in vitro?
H.pylori is one of the most common bacteries deadly my ass lol
I thought this was a today I found out video
Never had one I thought it was just spitting up stomach acid I melted metal with it
He wants to be John Green so bad
Hey, would you talk about human spontaneous combustion?
The Man that gave himself an Ulcer got alot of respect from me ^_^
Iam from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 yet understanding your words
Thanks🙏🙇🙏🙇🙏🙇🙏🙇
"Disco-era"??
Is drinking distilled water good or bad for you?
I emulate Dr. Marshall's resolve every time I notice someone wrong on the internet.
*#15 on trending!!!!*
Is this guy incapable of turning right or something? Why does he always have to be facing left?
i have h pylori im on antibiotic treatment . has anyone here gotten rid of it?
Talk about Carrión!, another great example of self testing saving lives
lol I had gastritis
Please do a video on "Sleep Paralysis"
Video ends at 0:30.
Will a fecal transplant help someone loss weight?
WHAT!?
No
UWA Represent.
What!?
Sweet
So... about 4 years ago, my daughter and mother went to a sandwich chain and after eating, both began vomiting within 2 hours. It was a nightmare. My mom was convinced it wasn't her favorite sandwich chain, but being a skeptic, I asked if she had eaten all her sandwich. She said the other half was in our refrigerator. After they had both stopped vomiting and managed to go to sleep, I took my moms sandwich and ate it with gusto. I sat a 5 gallon bucket near my bed and went to bed. About an hour later, I began vomiting violently. It was definitely the sandwich. When the sandwich chain opened, I went and explained the situation to the manager, as I was, an older gentleman came in and started yelling about food poisoning. My mom was issued a refund and it turns out the mayonnaise had been tainted and made about 2 dozen people sick. So... that's why I believe in human testing.
Senpai Noodles That's a much better alternative.
I'm not going to sue...
Mollie Sueing can open up unneeded complications,but sending the sample to the lab for testing is better than getting yourself ill.
Lego Ang it was 4 years ago.
Mollie I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my comment,i meant i would advice against sueing but i'm just saying sending it to the lab is better.
My sincerest heart-felt thanks to Barry Marshall and Robin Warren whose

major role in causing many peptic ulcers. This led to treatment that
saved my life.
Thought the thumbnail was a watermelon lmao
Gabriel Larsen wut , xD
Hes from my Uni!!! We have a Library Named after him... the B.J (Marahal) library... not the best acronym 😅😅
This is one of my favorite stories in the history of Medicine. Dr Marshall contributed a great lot for the treatment of ulcers and helped heal and prevent more pain in an uncountable ammount of people.
I liked my own comment.... FOR SCIENCE!!!!!
Nice Guy the profile pic got you mine
Kachoo... *FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!*
Ulcer is my city.
STOMACH IS MY COUNTRY
Body is my state
My anus is my continent.
Hairline is my village
Is this a reference to something or is this comment actually supposed to make no sense
Why hadn't anyone thought of it before?? Because they refused to think of it!!! True science always asks, what if!!!!
Finally! I'm early!
Thanks for all of these videos. I enjoy them a bunch. I never liked science in school, but now I realize that I had very little understanding of any of the sciences. Could anyone recommend books about biology or chemistry or physics? I appreciate any thoughts! Thanks.
Checkout "One Two Three... Infinity" by George Gamow. It's more conversational that a traditional textbook, and perhaps focuses more on math than science but it is a fascinating and enjoyable read. See if they have in your local library. In not, you can get it cheap on amazon.
Thanks! I've ordered it.
I got diagnosed with H Pylori about 2 weeks ago and I just got antibiotics included in the triple therapy (Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, and Omeprazole) after complaining about frequent heartburn and nausea. Has this happened to anyone and has anyone taken this treatment yet? Are the side effects really bad? How long did it take for you to feel better? Thanks
Nada Omar im on my second round of treatment. i didnt follow through on my antibiotics the first time so i still had h pylori. the antibiotics gave me diareah like every day and stomach pains but i think thats normal.
Wait... did he down the bacteria BEFORE he knew there was a cure??
Laura Simmons sounds like it.
"What's this supposed to do, Mr. Mad Scientist?"
"I don't know, and that's what makes me so *_mad!"_*
One day doctors will do more good than harm.
Similar to the skin; "If it ain't causing an infection, leave it alone. Because those bacteria are making sure no other strains catch a ride because there is no room for them". But if they go crazy and start giving you a rash or skin ulcers, well, some relations have to end, or at least restart by getting rid of the violent ones.
