Hey Dr C Thank you for sharing. I'm pretty sure you know this but during your live feed today. You had close to 6k viewers, while US presidential candidates only had 1k viewers. Numbers don't lie we sincerely appreciate your videos especially when the MSM/Gov are questionable. Thank You Doc!!! ...... ,!!

Steven Gates why is your nose in other people’s business that doesn’t concern you? Did you get an erection for a man passing as a woman and now you’re very upset? What’s behind this judgement of how others choose to live their lives? What are you on about man?
Dr CAMPBELL, I don't want to be rude. But, I don't want a other caring doctor getting very ill and passing away. That happened to my dad, a primary doctor, who carred for every one else. He was working 15 hours a day (6 days a week) to save everyone else. But too busy to take care of himself. Dr CAMPBELL you have to also take care of yourself! 💛🍀💛🍀
@Aegon Aram As he said, he has only a cold. That is likely why he has time for us. Unlike, I suppose Japan, doctors in western nations do not work with patients when they are ill.
AMEN! Dr. Campbell has become my source for medical info. I never cared prior to the corona outbreak. Now I'm constantly checking this channel after the news of the day.
I am really enjoying your videos. I bought one of these a while ago. Pre-pandemic, in January 2020, I had double pneumonia with loss of taste/smell, cough, low-grade fever, and body aches. When I went to the doctor, my oxygen saturation read 91%! She put me on antibiotics, inhalers, steroids, high doses of Vit C and Vit D and had me come back in 5 days to listen to my lungs again. Five days later, my oxygen was at 92%. And continued to climb as I got better. I am 100% sure this was covid before we knew about it and my dr also agrees. Had it been the pandemic when I walked into her office, she would have had me admitted to the hospital immediately and I fear that I wouldn't have had such a positive outcome as I did with my meds and healing at home.
Correct. That scenario was me...in march 2020...after very high viral load from working the frontline. I was denied because I refused the vent (USA), and I am a longhauler with a lot of blood vessel damage and was left hypoxic for months. Horror show. I was 65%-78% for months and I was not cared for when I denied their death sentence. You are RIGHT on, my dear. If this was during the plandemic, you'd likely be in a different place. Thanks be to God! Sadly, not for many who were murdered by withholding protocols that help and heal vs...
@@jac1161 what does "refused the vent" mean? Does that mean you refused to be put on a ventilator? Its confusing to me how someone can trust the medical system enough to go there for treatment, and then refuse the treatment the entire medical community agrees is the best chance to save your life. Also not sure what alternative treatments you were hoping to receive at the time, but HCQ and other things that were being tried in those early days have been proven again and again to be ineffective. Not necessarily worse than anything else people were trying, so don't see any reason to refuse to treat people who request it, but definitely not something that would have changed the outcome for you.
Your absolutely correct 💯 That is what happened to my mother 😭 Only she was not at all sick like you. Just thought she was coming down with a cold. Taking her to immediate care the next day, her oxygen level was 68%. They advised taking her straight to the hospital. That was the last time I saw my sweet mother. I don't believe she received the care she deserved.
For some reason it doesn't bother me at all that he basically the kinda guy who prints out a sheet, underlines a sentence with a red pen and then scans it because he doesn't know how to do it in MS Word and use a screen cam software.
Great explanation, my elderly Aunt has CPOD and is in hospital now.. Yesterday her saturation level was going down to 85 and yes she was looking very ill! Today went to visit her and she was sat up eating biscuits! I couldn't believe the change and was nice to talk to her, as yesterday I thought I'd never have a conversation with her again!
My mother & brother both had it. It is difficult to watch someone strugging to breathe, Both of them smoked cigarettes the entire time while on oxygen. I hate cigarettes!!!
Thank for the Red Cell Ghosts comment! Sometimes when I get extremely relaxed I see "bacteria" float across my vision. You solved a mystery that I have been curious about for almost 45 years!
If any look like worms, they could also be “floaters” (a common issue that can be confirmed with an eye exam and considered mostly benign in most cases).
Dr.C is one of the best teacher I ever came across. Glad I subscribed to you. Please make more videos about different medical topics. Its very fascinating.
******* Here are 6 tips on How to prepare: ******* 1. Living space - use an air purifier (UV, heat, or Sharp plasma technology) that kills bacteria and viruses (HEPA filter will NOT do this). The best, I think, is the plasma technology since it produces H and O2 ions that go out into the air and attack viruses and bacteria. The UV and heat air purifiers require the air to pass through the purifier in order to kill the viruses, so they will not be able to kill any viruses that are on surfaces or in air that is not circulating in the room. - air ionizers also work but produce harmful ozone which damages your lungs (so not recommended) - use a cool air humidifier (ideal humidity is between 30 - 50%) 2. If you have children old enough to prepare simple meals (open a can of soup and heat it up), teach them now how to do this. If the adults are sick, then the children will need to help out. Prepare now for ALL family members to be able to prepare food for those who are sick and unable to. 3. Have sufficient food (one month supply) that is simple, and easy to prepare. If you are on your own and sick, you will not be able to prepare full course meals, so you want easy, quick, but nutritious food. And if children are included, they need to be able to get food by themselves as well. This virus appears to hit adults harder, prepare accordingly. 4. It doesn't make sense to try to isolate a person within one home. If medical staff, in full hazmat suits, get the virus, then I would assume if one person gets the virus in your home, everyone one is exposed. Also, by the time a person is showing symptoms, most likely everyone within the family will already have been exposed to the virus. So going to the extra work of preparing a special, plastic isolation room does not make sense to me. Put your energy into more productive activities - like preparing food ahead of time. ( 5. If you have pneumonia, sleep on your stomach. This alone reduces mortality rates by 30-40% because in the prone position, lung compression is decreased, secretions drain better, and collapsed alveoli reopen. journals.lww.com/nursingcriticalcare/Fulltext/2009/05000/Prone_positioning__Improving_oxygenation_in.10.aspx digitalcommons.ric.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1272&context=etd 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘆 "𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱". for a much better/correct explanation!! 6. IF medical facilities become overwhelmed, then knowing what to do at home to help will be useful. Here is a medical paper on CoV19, see section "6. Treatment and Control" (go through this and highlight what you CAN do yourself. It is intended for a hospital environment, but there are still things you can do at home.) mmrjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40779-020-0233-6 (save this document so you have a copy, just in case.) - have a thermometer, and pulse/O2 reader. Take your readings now, when you are well, so you have a baseline to compare with. And do this lying down (as you would be if sick), so your baseline is a true baseline. Heart rate increases just by sitting up. - knowing these numbers will be very helpful in deciding if you need to seek medical attention. Being prepared involves body, mind and soul... the above items are how to physically prepare, being mentally prepared is also important, and don't forget your soul. Preparing to meet God is something we all have to do eventually. And He is not far away. He will hear a simple prayer for help.
@anny791 Anything that boosts your immune system. There seem to be plenty to choose from. I use CO-Q10. Years ago, a friend of mine got cancer. The doctors told her they didn't care if she took vitamins, etc but she was NOT to take CO-Q10 because it would boost her immune system too much and interfere with the drugs used in fighting the cancer. The concentration of CO-Q10 in the body decreases as we age. Just google "CO-Q10 in body graph based on age" and look at the charts.
Your recommendations are very good but I would disagree with the part about isolation. I followed a couple from China who the wife (a nurse) was infected with Cov-19 and the husband wasn’t. He took care of her at home and didn’t catch the virus because she was isolated in their bedroom. You can see their videos on UA-cam and see how he cared for her and protected himself.
what would we do without you during all this. A voice of reason in a wilderness of chaos. Thank you profoundly for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I have my coffee listening to you every morning. Thank you
Thank you, John, for this very important information and also for the effort that you have obviously put into getting it all together. Very much appreciated - you have helped me.
In my city, where the U.S. government quarantined Coronavirus evacuees from the cruise ship, people are still out celebrating all kinds of things! Mardi Gras city events and parade, Rodeo and what not. I am at home like, seriously! They released 90+ evacuees on Friday that ended the 14 day quarantine. I fear people are not taking this seriously 😐
They are not. I’ve gotten very frustrated with people bc they just don’t care. They are brainwashed by the tv and lib government to care. I’m going to the store one last time I might spend a thousand food water gas , dog food mask n100 gloves and disinfectant everyday crap to last at least 6 months to not go back to the store

Dr. John's videos are badly needed. I started watching them about some medical issues I had, and discovered the covid19 informative videos. A friend of mine just came back from Italy, after being there for a couple of weeks, and was TOTALLY unaware about the covid19 outbreak. I will not be visiting him for a while!
This is an excellent video, Dr. Campbell. Short yet saturated with valuable content. Even your side thoughts you explained, Amazing! I will share this and thank you, DP.
Hello from California! I love how you explain this. I am a regular woman, I bought a finger pulse oximeter and didn't know how to interpret the numbers. Thanks to you now I. Thanks a millon

We used to live by that little gadget. Our youngest son has Cystic Fibrosis. After starting a new medication called Trikafta, his blood stats have gone from 75% on a good day (with hospitalizations for 35-50% every few weeks) to a steady 98%, and no further hospitalizations. Truly a modern miracle.

I think I've already had this virus in the US. In early Feb before I knew about this outbreak I had a two day pretty deep cough respiratory virus. I had a 101.2 F fever for two days. I sat multiple times daily in the bathroom with the shower running to steam the room and this helped a lot. I also slept on a slant with feet upward 1' and head down to drain fluid from the lungs. It would be one heck of a coincidence for me who doesn't normally get sick to get a virus at the same time this is going around. I recovered fully.
Thanks for the explanation Dr Campbell, I'll get one of those devices, quite like the yellow one. Many years ago I went to ER with my husband as he had had a bad fall. I wasn't feeling very well myself, very tired and short of bread. Lovely NHS nurses and doctors, they did their work as a breeze but still had time to check on you and talk in normal language. One of the nurses saw me taking air in gulps, like a fish, and asked if she could check my oxygen level. It was dangerously low and I hadn't even noticed. I was put on oxygen for several hours, I was having asthma episodes, each one worse than the previous. I didn't even know I was asthmatic at that time, I just thought I was tired and couldn't sleep in bed because of stress. I believe she saved my life. We all have to fight for the NHS and it's fantastic staff, they are selling it off bit by bit!
The staff at the NHS are like any other huge government organisation - filled with excellent people and also people who are absolutely awful at their job. You got quite lucky, I and other people have not been so lucky. What the NHS needs is a cull of the huge number of overpaid non job positions like diversity directors and middle managers that provide no value whatsoever as a start. And the idea that they are "selling it off bit by bit" is a myth peddled by all blinkered political commentators that refuse to understand the NHS is in desperate need of an overhual
I got the answer after 21 Years they are called "Red Cell Ghosts", I wanted to interact with them by reaching out to touch them while at school and my fellow students though I went nuts :-). Thanks for answering my un-asked question.
You may also have what are commonly called floaters. They are simply pieces of debris inside your eye. These are not red blood cells but little dots or strings that detach from your inner eye wall and float around. It’s normal and hardly noticeable for most people, but for some, they can be quite a nuisance as they are far more noticeable and can even debilitating. It’s very easy to distinguish between them. Red Cell Ghosts are fast moving, very small, numerous and can only be seen under ideal conditions like he described. They look like firework. Floaters can be numerous too or just a few, typically darker and different shapes and sizes. They usually move around slowly as you move your eye and can be seen easily depending on where they are in your eye.
@@iemjay What Matt says is correct. If you suddenly notice a dramatic increase in the number of floaters or see bright flashes at the edge of you vision see an ophthalmologist (not optometrist) immediately. Your sight is at risk. You can often "see" the blood vessels inside your eye if a strong focused light enters your eye from an angle, such as during an eye exam. the reflection of the retina is visible to you on the opposite inner surface. It's pretty cool being able to see inside yourself.
@@iemjay Do you know what physically happens in an eye when someone is "so angry they see red"? I didn't think it was a real thing until someone told me it happened to them and they had almost killed someone if it weren't for the 4-5 men pulling him off the other person. They must have burst capillaries inside the gel of the eyeball?

Thank you John for all your efforts. I'm really concerned about the attitude of some of the health organisations. I just watched an interview with Margret Haris on Channel 4 who said they wont stop comercial flights because it would hinder the flow of medical supplies. Surely they can separate these two things. She also said to prepare by stopping smoking. This was the advice of the WHO going out on channel 4 news! I feel like I'm watching a slow motion car crash unfold. No one around me seems concerned at all.
Imports have to be cleared by Customs in uk, including those the international commercial parcel carrier companies that have some of the biggest fleets of aircraft in the world. Unfortunately broadcast media just allow nonsense and lies to be broadcast as fact. My advice is assume the opposite of what the media broadcast to enjoy truth and sanity.
I bought one of these about 2 weeks ago thinking that it would help detect if I was infected with covid19 before fever since it attacks the lungs. I love your videos. My SO2 averages around 97 so while watching your video and learning how it works I started taking deep breaths and sure enough in less than a minute my SO2 got to 100%. It also made me feel great getting a oxygen high. No wonder deep breathing is so therapeutic. I'm going to do this more often to get more oxygen around the body. Thanks doc. Oh, so if someone does have covid19 would their SO2 go down enough to notice before they showed symptoms?
There is always a range, but hopefully most people will fall into the interquartile range so theoretically there should not be too many outliers... But when dealing with something like this, precision is key so personally (as an epidemiologist) id say it warrants at least a review of protocol...
@@svenmohamad8646 It varies depending on the person. Some have a resting around 90. 50 to 60 is generally quite healthy. To have that under stress implies an athlete's level of fitness.
I bought one when I had bronchitis, waiting for a list covid test. I kept doing down to 92-93% and had to get new meds. Realized they were working when I started creeping up over 95%. It really helped to be able to talk to my Dr.
Hi John , l had to get an Ambulance for myself Tuesday as l had a panic attack as l was breathing shallow, also probably Anxious as l do worry about this Virus as l have COPD and l am 64 and l have shielded myself to the outside world since March 10, my COPD not great but when the Ambulance turned up they did these 5 tests and to my amazement my Oxygen Saturation was 97. Because of stress about the world l still have a cigarette here and there and probably too many l actually asked the crew if this reading was right as l had it in my head that it should be lower than this but hey it made me feel better
Haha, a video for all the students who were actually subscribed to John before the Coronavirus took over his channel, so they aren't feeling so left out and invaded.

Thank you for explaining this .I have been in hospital with severe Asthma, and pneumonia, i was on oxygen .Also had this on finger during ops or Endoscopy's
so we can measure O2 at home, but is there going to be any safe/easy way to administer any supplementary O2 ?? (not that it would be usually wise, but if hospitals are not able to provide enough.....)
I ordered one of these units www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HC1020000/everflo-home-oxygen-system quite pricey though. In EU (240v) there is one store that sells them at better price than I've seen elsewhere seach eBay for kohlen-medizin-technik. In the US (110v) I found another company that sells them new as well as refurbished/inspected ones (several brands) o2crs.com/ I don't like to be negative, but quite honestly I do not expect the public healthcare to cope at all with a pandemic, it will be chaos in many, if not all, countries I'm afraid, so I see this as something that at least might provide some alternative in a situation where a hospital might not be an option.
Drink water its good for helping oxygen levels. and buy houseplants, house plants create oxygen in the home and eat certain pollutants. Buy plants that are good at this like the Peace Lilly and Fig plant google the top ten.
Will Darling , I have to agree that 02 concentrators are a very good back up to have. As a retired anesthesiologist, look for a machine that can provide the highest flow, (8-10 LPM) you can afford (highest flow with durability and consistency). Also a good mask with this machine is a must. If you become ill and cannot get help, these devices with a good mask could achieve 40-50% FIO2 (inspired 02 concentration). This may be enough to get you through a rough period of an illness until your body’s antibodies have a chance to work.
Dear Dr. John Campbell. Here is a bit of missing information from the SpO2 instruction manual. In the second half of 2016 I found that any healthy person (like me) that has a reading of 95% SpO2 reading is in fact dehydrated, *it works on the theory, when you are dehydrated the red blood cells clog together making it harder to carry oxygen.* I walked in to Auckland New Zealand hospital at 95% SpO2 and walked out the next day from a operation and ever since then the SpO2 has always been 97 to 99%. Prior to that date, I only got two reading 95% while resting and 99% while out walking. Even the nurse thought the oxymeter had gone faulty when my SpO2 jump from 95% to 98% in half a hour and went away to get another one, and sounded very surprised when she said “Oh look it is 98%” I was drinking a glass of water every 20 minutes apart from around lunch or dinner time. It took 3 liters of water to get it to jump from 95% to 98%. Now I get between 97% & 99% I can see a close relationship between *the amount of walking I do on a warm (hot) day, the amount of water I drink and the SpO2 reading on the oxymeter.* It took a lot of effort to get my story into a NZ walking magazine early 2017
I love that you explained the alveoli in the lungs and the difference between asthma (which I have) and pneumonia (which I have had and my dad died from back on Dec 27th). I wondered what actually goes on in the lungs. I'm going to obtain a pulse oximeter for myself. It would be good to have. Thanks so much. Also, in case CoVid 19 reaches where I am.
I self isolated due to a lung condition( Bronchiectasis) which is managed with Yoga and medication. I purchased an Oximeter so I could check my levels. Self help is what we all need. Thanks for your interesting videos. I paid £6. last October for mine.
Andrew , actually not exactly. In carbon monoxide poisoning, the carbon monoxide binds very tightly to the hemaglobin in your red blood cells. In carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse odometer falsely reads 90-92% when in fact, there is no oxygen carried by the red blood cells at all. That is why this situation is very dangerous.
Nathan Frick , that is correct. Oxygenated hemoglobin and carbon monoxide bound hemoglobin absorb nearly, but not the same wavelength of light emitted by the pulse oximeter. Hence the false reading.
Dr. Campbell, you've got a clear, easy to follow, engaging style of teaching and strive for accuracy. I'm sure your diagram toward the end of your video was an oversight when you indicated CO2 leaves the alveoli and enters the blood. Actually, the blood loses CO2 to the alveolar air , which is expelled during exhalation. Other than this oversight the video is quite useful. A fellow teacher.
Great video Doctor . I had oxy sat of 86 % . It was not of too much concern . I was in the rather mountainous region of Argentina. We summited at 7960 m . Gosh how out of breath one could get doing basic things. I noticed that when one returned to sea level going on the run machine it was hard to get out of breath . Is it true we produce more red blood cells as part of high altitude acclimated training
@ Nitrogen is not absorbed into the capillaries it's just inhaled and exhaled with each breath.

@@williamharlan1714 . it's pretty interesting, then, that divers are subject to nitrogen narcosis, and also to the bends when they ascend too quickly. The latter is when nitrogen comes out of solution in the blood and bubbles out as a gas. NOW HOW DID THAT NITROGEN GET IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, William?
@ Good question 'Hyper'... Thanks for making me think. It was over my head but I could still reach it with my hands and pull it back down. Gas under pressure can be forced into a liquid. As you inhale a breath of compressed air at sea level it equates to a normal volume of lung capacity this is due to the surrounding air pressure(1 atmosphere). At 33 feet down the same inhaled breath is twice the sea level volume(2 atmospheres). At 66 feet the air in the lungs is 3 times the volume(3 atmospheres) compared to sea level. The water around you compresses your body and as liquids are dense and do not compress the lungs inhale more compressed air to compensate for the increasing pressures. Nitrogen at 78% volume in air under pressure has more molecules being forced into the blood plasma than other gases. As you rise to the surface the increasing lung pressure can easily be exhaled as you ascend but the Nitrogen in the plasma needs time to move to the lungs to disperse the gas into the air(in the lungs) to be exhaled. Time is necessary as the pressure on the body decreases to prevent the nitrogen from coming out of solution in the blood as bubbles. Does this clarify?
Dear Dr. John Campbell, Great lesson, thank you! Please pay a bit of attention to this therapy. Absolutely new in North America! Normobaric World offers therapies in oxygen cabins. The cabin is a medium-size room where oxygen concentration reaches approx. 40% (a double amount that in ambient air). Moreover, the pressure inside the cabin is 1.5 ATA, allowing complete tissue oxygenation. The increase in pressure allows for better oxygenation of all tissues, and more efficient oxygen intake and usage. To achieve the tissue oxygenation effect, the concentration of oxygen must be higher than in ambient air. This atmosphere you can experience in Normobaric World. The important beneficial effect of staying in the Normobaric cabin is the increased stem cell creation and circulation in the blood. These stem cells can transform into any other body cell. Therefore, there is a chance for the body to receive complete, natural, deep regeneration and recovery.
Can someone please discuss the fact that we still have flights coming in from all around China daily? What is happening with these people? Are they going straight to quarantine? We already know the disease can be caught from people who are asymptomatic. We knew that weeks ago and yet they are still using only temperature checks to confirm infection for people crossing borders. Clearly there has to be many people with this virus in the UK already?

Unfortunately I had to learn what oxygen saturation was when I was diagnosed with multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms in July 2017. I had saturation level of 75% when I was first accepted and within 15 minutes it was at 65%. I hope no one ever have to experience what it feels like to live through pulmonary recovery. I keep a pulse oximeter and oxygen generator near me at all times.
Hi John thanks for a superb channel. I was speaking with my wife's Endochronolgist today. We both have a dry cough but no fever. We have been very worried and self isolating. (and doing TPRBP & O2 tests every 6 hours) He informed us that several patients have presented at his hospital with a viral cough which has similar symptoms to CV but less severe. Is this true ? If so, we should be told because we would not have been so frightened!
Thank you, Dr John. Please also get some rest to boost your own self-immunity. I also watched the live streaming earlier today 2020-2-22 while it was in progress. I noticed that I didn't have the option to post comment and ask questions at time. I am curious as to whether any other viewers had the same issue (please simply ’Like’ this comment if you had the same problem, or just reply to this comment).
You could see (at least I saw mine) by selecting "top comments" instead of "live comments". Might be chat and not comments. Either way, top showed a smaller segment, live showed all and since so many comment concurrently it was very difficult to see my own comments. The top comments were for a small segment of time, maybe a minute.
16:26. The arrow on the CO2 needs to be the other way, since it's going from the blood out into the alveoli, then we breathe it out and it annoys Greta.
Very good. Thank you. Interesting to note your O2 saturation fell as did your pluse rate at the end of the presentation as you relaxed knowing it was the end ! Hyperbaric chamber ...? Get your people up to 95%+ ...decent one costs about 15,000$ US new or Russian second hand much less depending on age and spec.

You are the best! Thanks!
Something to consider is oxygen saturation may be normal, but you may still be having breathing problems. I have been having asthma attacks and I was told my o2 was normal, but my lungs were working twice as hard to do it.
Dear Dr Campbell, I think you are doing a great job informing us about Coronavirus and blood oxygen. Nevertheless, I found a little mistake in your video: you were right that oxygen goes from the alveoli into the blood vessels. BUT carbon dioxide does not got into the blood vessels from the alveoli - the other way round: CO2 goes from the blood (blood vessels) into the alveoli. We breathe in oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide. Please correct this in your video. Thank you. Dr Reinhold Kittelberger, New Zealand
Couple years ago, I was admitted into hospital with an oxygen saturation of 78 - 82, if I remember correctly. Still don't know how bad that was. I do remember a standard oxygen mask almost choked me, I simply couldn't breath. Very scary situation. One of my lungs had collapsed. Then they immediatly rushed me into emergengy care. Yes I fear what this virus will do to me.
@@FrensTimmerpens what he meant was probably, that since one of the lungs collapsed there might be a higher risk since the lungs are maybe not 100% functional anymore, cause of that he may fear getting Corona even more
I considered the 2nd shot in the arm, I had a reaction that made me feel like I was poisoned and pretty much figured that I had myocarditis and I felt it was severe for a month, and that I was slowly getting better. At that time my oxygen was 92 - 94 and pulse was 95+. I sort of considered the fact that I am a smoker was the cause. But then I purchased a S-load NAC, pretty much as a middle finger to the CDC as they were trying to remove it from the market. I took a look at it and felt it might help me out a little, but I took a dose at work, went to bed and woke up feeling like I was alive again. I couldn't believe it, but felt that the heart issues went away. But I figured if this miracle cure was in my head, I wouldn't be able to quantify it and was amazed when the blood oxygen was at 98=99 percent, and my pulse was between 60-65 on average. I now feel, this little bugger of a device is a very important medical asset to have. I do feel that the NAC has also seriously held me out with a few other problems that I was suffering from as well.
I listen to you daily John. A calm and correct(insofar as it can be) reporting to inform and update us all. I also appreciate your concern for various people in other parts of the world and their various problems. It's the measure of a good person to care deeply about others far away in a time of crises that scares us all. Well done, Barbara
Not correct. CO2 arrow in wrong direction. He's dyslexic, I think, and doesn't proofread before uploading. How many people have watched this, trusted it, and concluded they must be stupid ?
Very informative presentation. I learned some. You are GREAT. Thanks for ALL your hard work. You should take it easy and have 66bpm or even lower. If I understand correctly you have an error: Co2 goes OUT of the Blood back into the lungs while O2 goes from the lungs into the blood. Am I right? Simple fix: Change the direction of your blue Co2 arrow and add O2 in red with an arrow going into the blood.
get them to a holistic doctor. they will put them on a parasite cleanse made up of bitters. There lungs is where I showed symptoms of very severe copd. I have had copd for 20 years but over the past year I could not breath at night because of mucus in my lungs. I could not release the co2 although I was using oxygen at night. I was actually poisoning myself because I was taking in oxygen but my body was not getting rid of CO2. The parasite cleanse helped me in days. I also bought a PEMF system and it helped my body release the CO2. No doctor told me any of this. No pulmonary doctor I saw helped one bit. I have wiped my hands from those type of doctors because they never mention natural ways to heal the body. Take your brother and yourself to a holistic doctor who understands herbs, vitamins and minerals along with natural supplements.
treat the hypertension with natural methods. Try to research it. Could be smoking, drinking, stress, diet. I don't know your brother. Colud be genetic.
John your channel is a wonderful repository of commentary since the beginning of the pandemic and I wonder if ZOE or another institution would be interested in using text mining techniques to draw out the various concerns of your listeners at different time points to help gain a better understanding of how people experience a situation like this for the future. Just a thought. Might be an interesting project.
I have been trying to tell friends and family about covid-19 and they say its just another flu or they have better things to worry about. This is the way America is, they don't listen or believe til its too late. Being reactive instead of proactive. I just don't understand that thinking, does anybody watching the Doc understand this thinking?
I so know what you mean. Friends/family/roommates have normalcy bias (cant happen here, not that bad, cant happen to me) mentality. Ive been stocking up for the past month and still being called crazy and or paranoid. But I dont care. My health and life matters to me. I know the govs are not being upfront. MSM wont post relevant info online or in the newspapers. Have to dig deep to get the truth (minus fake news and propaganda). I think when this blows up (and people are forced to acknowledge this global disaster) in the US that many people will then panic. Sadly, it will be too late. I dont doubt the good Drs words at all. We are in the opening stages of a global pandemic.
It's too big a problem for the individual to solve. They paid their taxes so the government will come through for them when the time comes. They have essential oils to rely on. God's in charge. Life is depressing already so it's ok if it is shorter, too. I'll know when to worry, thank you. I already have [fill in name of disease] and never get the flu, so I'll be ok. Look at how many die from the flu each year, why aren't you prepping when flu season starts each year? -- Just a few of the responses I have gotten. And, no, they don't want to hear how this differs from the flu or that a flu vaccine or tamiflu will not help those who catch it.
Used this device and noticed mums pulse rate was 32! So the doctor got her in for a pace maker. The doc was amazed that I had spotted the slow pulse rate. She never saw this before! Thanks for oxy meters

Dr CAMPBELL, I don't want to be rude. But, I don't want a other caring doctor getting very ill and passing away. That happened to my dad, a primary doctor, who carred for every one else. He was working 15 hours a day (6 days a week) to save everyone else. But too busy to take care of himself.
Dr CAMPBELL you have to also take care of yourself! 💛🍀💛🍀
Aegon Aram why?
@Aegon Aram As he said, he has only a cold. That is likely why he has time for us. Unlike, I suppose Japan, doctors in western nations do not work with patients when they are ill.

Young Hwan Choi me too! I love this guy. Look at me learning stuff again! 🤔🤗🥰
That was interesting. I really enjoyed this video. You have an amazing ability to explain things in a simple way.
I am really enjoying your videos. I bought one of these a while ago. Pre-pandemic, in January 2020, I had double pneumonia with loss of taste/smell, cough, low-grade fever, and body aches. When I went to the doctor, my oxygen saturation read 91%! She put me on antibiotics, inhalers, steroids, high doses of Vit C and Vit D and had me come back in 5 days to listen to my lungs again. Five days later, my oxygen was at 92%. And continued to climb as I got better. I am 100% sure this was covid before we knew about it and my dr also agrees. Had it been the pandemic when I walked into her office, she would have had me admitted to the hospital immediately and I fear that I wouldn't have had such a positive outcome as I did with my meds and healing at home.
Correct. That scenario was me...in march 2020...after very high viral load from working the frontline. I was denied because I refused the vent (USA), and I am a longhauler with a lot of blood vessel damage and was left hypoxic for months. Horror show. I was 65%-78% for months and I was not cared for when I denied their death sentence. You are RIGHT on, my dear. If this was during the plandemic, you'd likely be in a different place. Thanks be to God! Sadly, not for many who were murdered by withholding protocols that help and heal vs...
@@jac1161 what does "refused the vent" mean? Does that mean you refused to be put on a ventilator? Its confusing to me how someone can trust the medical system enough to go there for treatment, and then refuse the treatment the entire medical community agrees is the best chance to save your life.
Also not sure what alternative treatments you were hoping to receive at the time, but HCQ and other things that were being tried in those early days have been proven again and again to be ineffective. Not necessarily worse than anything else people were trying, so don't see any reason to refuse to treat people who request it, but definitely not something that would have changed the outcome for you.
Your absolutely correct 💯
That is what happened to my mother 😭
Only she was not at all sick like you.
Just thought she was coming down with a cold.
Taking her to immediate care the next day, her oxygen level was 68%.
They advised taking her straight to the hospital.
That was the last time I saw my sweet mother.
I don't believe she received the care she deserved.

Thank you Dr Campbell for the awesome videos that you produce. You truly are a great educator🌴
Great explanation, my elderly Aunt has CPOD and is in hospital now.. Yesterday her saturation level was going down to 85 and yes she was looking very ill! Today went to visit her and she was sat up eating biscuits! I couldn't believe the change and was nice to talk to her, as yesterday I thought I'd never have a conversation with her again!
My mother & brother both had it. It is difficult to watch someone strugging to breathe, Both of them smoked cigarettes the entire time while on oxygen. I hate cigarettes!!!
Iwan Thomas my dad has copd to
From smoking I just recently quit smoking
My Mom has copd too, what a difference oxygen makes!
@@Brooks0511 well done👏👏👏👏👏
Thank for the Red Cell Ghosts comment! Sometimes when I get extremely relaxed I see "bacteria" float across my vision. You solved a mystery that I have been curious about for almost 45 years!
If any look like worms, they could also be “floaters” (a common issue that can be confirmed with an eye exam and considered mostly benign in most cases).
Dr.C is one of the best teacher I ever came across. Glad I subscribed to you. Please make more videos about different medical topics. Its very fascinating.
This guy is so entertaining and informative

Elizabeth Lucy yepp agreed :)
******* Here are 6 tips on How to prepare: *******
1. Living space
- use an air purifier (UV, heat, or Sharp plasma technology) that kills bacteria and viruses (HEPA filter will NOT do this). The best, I think, is the plasma technology since it produces H and O2 ions that go out into the air and attack viruses and bacteria. The UV and heat air purifiers require the air to pass through the purifier in order to kill the viruses, so they will not be able to kill any viruses that are on surfaces or in air that is not circulating in the room.
- air ionizers also work but produce harmful ozone which damages your lungs (so not recommended)
- use a cool air humidifier (ideal humidity is between 30 - 50%)
2. If you have children old enough to prepare simple meals (open a can of soup and heat it up), teach them now how to do this. If the adults are sick, then the children will need to help out. Prepare now for ALL family members to be able to prepare food for those who are sick and unable to.
3. Have sufficient food (one month supply) that is simple, and easy to prepare. If you are on your own and sick, you will not be able to prepare full course meals, so you want easy, quick, but nutritious food. And if children are included, they need to be able to get food by themselves as well. This virus appears to hit adults harder, prepare accordingly.
4. It doesn't make sense to try to isolate a person within one home. If medical staff, in full hazmat suits, get the virus, then I would assume if one person gets the virus in your home, everyone one is exposed. Also, by the time a person is showing symptoms, most likely everyone within the family will already have been exposed to the virus. So going to the extra work of preparing a special, plastic isolation room does not make sense to me. Put your energy into more productive activities - like preparing food ahead of time. (
5. If you have pneumonia, sleep on your stomach. This alone reduces mortality rates by 30-40% because in the prone position, lung compression is decreased, secretions drain better, and collapsed alveoli reopen.

𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘆 "𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱". for a much better/correct explanation!!
6. IF medical facilities become overwhelmed, then knowing what to do at home to help will be useful.
Here is a medical paper on CoV19, see section "6. Treatment and Control"
(go through this and highlight what you CAN do yourself. It is intended for a hospital environment, but there are still things you can do at home.)
mmrjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40779-020-0233-6
(save this document so you have a copy, just in case.)
- have a thermometer, and pulse/O2 reader. Take your readings now, when you are well, so you have a baseline to compare with. And do this lying down (as you would be if sick), so your baseline is a true baseline. Heart rate increases just by sitting up.
- knowing these numbers will be very helpful in deciding if you need to seek medical attention.
Being prepared involves body, mind and soul... the above items are how to physically prepare, being mentally prepared is also important, and don't forget your soul. Preparing to meet God is something we all have to do eventually. And He is not far away. He will hear a simple prayer for help.
Amen!! Your last paragraph is the MOST important .... that’s for eternity
JustThinking OutLoud Thank you for that excellent information. Being prepared is half the battle won.
@anny791 Anything that boosts your immune system. There seem to be plenty to choose from. I use CO-Q10. Years ago, a friend of mine got cancer. The doctors told her they didn't care if she took vitamins, etc but she was NOT to take CO-Q10 because it would boost her immune system too much and interfere with the drugs used in fighting the cancer.
The concentration of CO-Q10 in the body decreases as we age. Just google "CO-Q10 in body graph based on age" and look at the charts.
Your recommendations are very good but I would disagree with the part about isolation. I followed a couple from China who the wife (a nurse) was infected with Cov-19 and the husband wasn’t. He took care of her at home and didn’t catch the virus because she was isolated in their bedroom. You can see their videos on UA-cam and see how he cared for her and protected himself.
Yes

We used to live by that little gadget. Our youngest son has Cystic Fibrosis. After starting a new medication called Trikafta, his blood stats have gone from 75% on a good day (with hospitalizations for 35-50% every few weeks) to a steady 98%, and no further hospitalizations. Truly a modern miracle.

I think I've already had this virus in the US. In early Feb before I knew about this outbreak I had a two day pretty deep cough respiratory virus. I had a 101.2 F fever for two days. I sat multiple times daily in the bathroom with the shower running to steam the room and this helped a lot. I also slept on a slant with feet upward 1' and head down to drain fluid from the lungs. It would be one heck of a coincidence for me who doesn't normally get sick to get a virus at the same time this is going around. I recovered fully.
thats a great news!

Thank you Dr. Campbell. Wonderful discussion which was extremely helpful in understanding this topic.
Thanks for the explanation Dr Campbell, I'll get one of those devices, quite like the yellow one. Many years ago I went to ER with my husband as he had had a bad fall. I wasn't feeling very well myself, very tired and short of bread. Lovely NHS nurses and doctors, they did their work as a breeze but still had time to check on you and talk in normal language. One of the nurses saw me taking air in gulps, like a fish, and asked if she could check my oxygen level. It was dangerously low and I hadn't even noticed. I was put on oxygen for several hours, I was having asthma episodes, each one worse than the previous. I didn't even know I was asthmatic at that time, I just thought I was tired and couldn't sleep in bed because of stress. I believe she saved my life. We all have to fight for the NHS and it's fantastic staff, they are selling it off bit by bit!
The staff at the NHS are like any other huge government organisation - filled with excellent people and also people who are absolutely awful at their job. You got quite lucky, I and other people have not been so lucky. What the NHS needs is a cull of the huge number of overpaid non job positions like diversity directors and middle managers that provide no value whatsoever as a start. And the idea that they are "selling it off bit by bit" is a myth peddled by all blinkered political commentators that refuse to understand the NHS is in desperate need of an overhual

I got the answer after 21 Years they are called "Red Cell Ghosts", I wanted to interact with them by reaching out to touch them while at school and my fellow students though I went nuts :-). Thanks for answering my un-asked question.
You may also have what are commonly called floaters. They are simply pieces of debris inside your eye. These are not red blood cells but little dots or strings that detach from your inner eye wall and float around. It’s normal and hardly noticeable for most people, but for some, they can be quite a nuisance as they are far more noticeable and can even debilitating.
It’s very easy to distinguish between them. Red Cell Ghosts are fast moving, very small, numerous and can only be seen under ideal conditions like he described. They look like firework. Floaters can be numerous too or just a few, typically darker and different shapes and sizes. They usually move around slowly as you move your eye and can be seen easily depending on where they are in your eye.
@@iemjay What Matt says is correct. If you suddenly notice a dramatic increase in the number of floaters or see bright flashes at the edge of you vision see an ophthalmologist (not optometrist) immediately. Your sight is at risk.
You can often "see" the blood vessels inside your eye if a strong focused light enters your eye from an angle, such as during an eye exam. the reflection of the retina is visible to you on the opposite inner surface. It's pretty cool being able to see inside yourself.
Me too 😉👍
@@iemjay Do you know what physically happens in an eye when someone is "so angry they see red"? I didn't think it was a real thing until someone told me it happened to them and they had almost killed someone if it weren't for the 4-5 men pulling him off the other person. They must have burst capillaries inside the gel of the eyeball?

Thank you John for all your efforts. I'm really concerned about the attitude of some of the health organisations. I just watched an interview with Margret Haris on Channel 4 who said they wont stop comercial flights because it would hinder the flow of medical supplies. Surely they can separate these two things. She also said to prepare by stopping smoking. This was the advice of the WHO going out on channel 4 news! I feel like I'm watching a slow motion car crash unfold. No one around me seems concerned at all.
Imports have to be cleared by Customs in uk, including those the international commercial parcel carrier companies that have some of the biggest fleets of aircraft in the world.
Unfortunately broadcast media just allow nonsense and lies to be broadcast as fact. My advice is assume the opposite of what the media broadcast to enjoy truth and sanity.
"So my current pulse rate....." literally stares it down
I must say i nearly had a heart attack myself, when i looked at that number.
I bought one of these about 2 weeks ago thinking that it would help detect if I was infected with covid19 before fever since it attacks the lungs. I love your videos. My SO2 averages around 97 so while watching your video and learning how it works I started taking deep breaths and sure enough in less than a minute my SO2 got to 100%. It also made me feel great getting a oxygen high. No wonder deep breathing is so therapeutic. I'm going to do this more often to get more oxygen around the body. Thanks doc. Oh, so if someone does have covid19 would their SO2 go down enough to notice before they showed symptoms?
Yes-it’s called “happy hypoxia.” Many people were “feeling fine” but low saturation.
xm, my saturation is about 90, I feel good, the husband has 97, he is fine ❓❓❓😜

Now we know what Doctors do when we wait in the waiting rooms - fiddle around testing their O2 levels!! Ha! J/K :)
or using peak flow meters to test who has the best lungs lol
Hi John , l had to get an Ambulance for myself Tuesday as l had a panic attack as l was breathing shallow, also probably Anxious as l do worry about this Virus as l have COPD and l am 64 and l have shielded myself to the outside world since March 10, my COPD not great but when the Ambulance turned up they did these 5 tests and to my amazement my Oxygen Saturation was 97. Because of stress about the world l still have a cigarette here and there and probably too many l actually asked the crew if this reading was right as l had it in my head that it should be lower than this but hey it made me feel better
Haha, a video for all the students who were actually subscribed to John before the Coronavirus took over his channel, so they aren't feeling so left out and invaded.
Thank you Dr.Campbell for another interesting and informative video.
I have already got one of these, but now I know what it's for.
Very much appreciated.
I would have loved having you as a professor when l was in university!
I think everyone here wishes Dr Campbell to be their personal Doktor 😁
His teaching skills are evident. This can be invaluable to us.
You are SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much for your clear explanations!
Thank you for answering a question that has been bothering me for some time. I was always told it was dust or pollen. Perhaps so, but I was seeing a constant doughnut shape. I needed a good laugh today. Thank you for that one
Yes, but it is sure of course, you can see your own red cells
@@Campbellteaching
I'm loving it. You put a big smile on my face. It's those little things that nobody has an answer for that keeps people laughing at me as if I was foolish to question what they think normal. Perhaps so but I want answers. Hahaha
I've got one you might be able to answer that professors laughed at and said impossible. If I sit a certain wat too long my ribs on one side or the other will flip. It will concave outward. Painful. I must stretch to put it back in place. I thought everyone's ribs did this at one time. If you can't give an answer, thank you anyhow. I always thought it was because I pickled myself. I drink pickle juice. Love vinegar. Like an eggs that soaks in a cup of it for sometime, it will become a rubber ball.
Hope I returned the laugh or smile you gave me.
I have one of these. I have just measured SpO2 99%, pulse 49 bpm. I am 75. How about that!
One tiny mistake: CO2 passes FROM the bloodstream into the alveoli and is removed with next exhalation. Otherwise very instructive. Thanks.
At 16:20 into the video.
Thank you for explaining this .I have been in hospital with severe Asthma, and pneumonia, i was on oxygen .Also had this on finger during ops or Endoscopy's
so we can measure O2 at home, but is there going to be any safe/easy way to administer any supplementary O2 ??
(not that it would be usually wise, but if hospitals are not able to provide enough.....)
You can buy an oxygen concentrator for around £200 its what people with breathing problems use.
Google them
I ordered one of these units www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/product/HC1020000/everflo-home-oxygen-system quite pricey though. In EU (240v) there is one store that sells them at better price than I've seen elsewhere seach eBay for kohlen-medizin-technik. In the US (110v) I found another company that sells them new as well as refurbished/inspected ones (several brands) o2crs.com/ I don't like to be negative, but quite honestly I do not expect the public healthcare to cope at all with a pandemic, it will be chaos in many, if not all, countries I'm afraid, so I see this as something that at least might provide some alternative in a situation where a hospital might not be an option.
Drink water its good for helping oxygen levels. and buy houseplants, house plants create oxygen in the home and eat certain pollutants.
Buy plants that are good at this like the Peace Lilly and Fig plant google the top ten.
Will Darling , I have to agree that 02 concentrators are a very good back up to have. As a retired anesthesiologist, look for a machine that can provide the highest flow, (8-10 LPM) you can afford (highest flow with durability and consistency). Also a good mask with this machine is a must. If you become ill and cannot get help, these devices with a good mask could achieve 40-50% FIO2 (inspired 02 concentration). This may be enough to get you through a rough period of an illness until your body’s antibodies have a chance to work.
@@jameskikuoka4863 how if at all does a CPAP machine fit into this mix?
I want to thank you for explaining everything. Your doing such a great service here! Stay well, Cheers 🕊🙏🎯
Dear Dr. John Campbell.
Here is a bit of missing information from the SpO2 instruction manual.
In the second half of 2016 I found that any healthy person (like me) that has a reading of 95% SpO2 reading is in fact dehydrated, *it works on the theory, when you are dehydrated the red blood cells clog together making it harder to carry oxygen.* I walked in to Auckland New Zealand hospital at 95% SpO2 and walked out the next day from a operation and ever since then the SpO2 has always been 97 to 99%.
Prior to that date, I only got two reading 95% while resting and 99% while out walking. Even the nurse thought the oxymeter had gone faulty when my SpO2 jump from 95% to 98% in half a hour and went away to get another one, and sounded very surprised when she said “Oh look it is 98%” I was drinking a glass of water every 20 minutes apart from around lunch or dinner time. It took 3 liters of water to get it to jump from 95% to 98%.
Now I get between 97% & 99% I can see a close relationship between *the amount of walking I do on a warm (hot) day, the amount of water I drink and the SpO2 reading on the oxymeter.*
It took a lot of effort to get my story into a NZ walking magazine early 2017
How much water did you drink in the half hour to caused the increase from 95 to 98%, thus amazing the nurse.
@@oldbutstillcurious3615 " a glass of water every twenty minutes"
@@oldbutstillcurious3615 he told you. 3 litres
Very interesting story! Thank you for sharing. I am dehydrated as well & will know keep an eye on that. Cheers…
This is very useful information. I am also used to seeing 95% so will up my water intake.
Thanks for highlighting this issue.
I love that you explained the alveoli in the lungs and the difference between asthma (which I have) and pneumonia (which I have had and my dad died from back on Dec 27th). I wondered what actually goes on in the lungs. I'm going to obtain a pulse oximeter for myself. It would be good to have. Thanks so much. Also, in case CoVid 19 reaches where I am.
I self isolated due to a lung condition( Bronchiectasis) which is managed with Yoga and medication. I purchased an Oximeter so I could check my levels. Self help is what we all need. Thanks for your interesting videos. I paid £6. last October for mine.
You are so funny. I absolutely love your videos. I am monitoring my blood saturation as you talk. I'm at 98. So all is well.
Pulse oximetry. Also used to detect Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning (carboxyhaemoglobin) I think.
Andrew , actually not exactly. In carbon monoxide poisoning, the carbon monoxide binds very tightly to the hemaglobin in your red blood cells. In carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse odometer falsely reads 90-92% when in fact, there is no oxygen carried by the red blood cells at all. That is why this situation is very dangerous.
CO content in the blood will give a false high reading as CO bonds preferentially to the hemoglobin.
Nathan Frick , that is correct. Oxygenated hemoglobin and carbon monoxide bound hemoglobin absorb nearly, but not the same wavelength of light emitted by the pulse oximeter. Hence the false reading.
Dr. Campbell, you've got a clear, easy to follow, engaging style of teaching and strive for accuracy. I'm sure your diagram toward the end of your video was an oversight when you indicated CO2 leaves the alveoli and enters the blood. Actually, the blood loses CO2 to the alveolar air , which is expelled during exhalation. Other than this oversight the video is quite useful. A fellow teacher.
Great video Doctor . I had oxy sat of 86 % . It was not of too much concern . I was in the rather mountainous region of Argentina. We summited at 7960 m . Gosh how out of breath one could get doing basic things. I noticed that when one returned to sea level going on the run machine it was hard to get out of breath . Is it true we produce more red blood cells as part of high altitude acclimated training
Actually this is very important as CO2 can kill viruses.
16:14 Whoopsie: You meant, of course, CO2 OUT of the returning blood INTO the Lungs for expiration.
4lst4ir Thanks Captain Obvious
Just thinking the same hahaha
@ Nitrogen is not absorbed into the capillaries it's just inhaled and exhaled with each breath.
@@williamharlan1714 . it's pretty interesting, then, that divers are subject to nitrogen narcosis, and also to the bends when they ascend too quickly. The latter is when nitrogen comes out of solution in the blood and bubbles out as a gas. NOW HOW DID THAT NITROGEN GET IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, William?
@ Good question 'Hyper'... Thanks for making me think. It was over my head but I could still reach it with my hands and pull it back down. Gas under pressure can be forced into a liquid.
As you inhale a breath of compressed air at sea level it equates to a normal volume of lung capacity this is due to the surrounding air pressure(1 atmosphere). At 33 feet down the same inhaled breath is twice the sea level volume(2 atmospheres). At 66 feet the air in the lungs is 3 times the volume(3 atmospheres) compared to sea level. The water around you compresses your body and as liquids are dense and do not compress the lungs inhale more compressed air to compensate for the increasing pressures.
Nitrogen at 78% volume in air under pressure has more molecules being forced into the blood plasma than other gases. As you rise to the surface the increasing lung pressure can easily be exhaled as you ascend but the Nitrogen in the plasma needs time to move to the lungs to disperse the gas into the air(in the lungs) to be exhaled. Time is necessary as the pressure on the body decreases to prevent the nitrogen from coming out of solution in the blood as bubbles.
Does this clarify?
I wish that were true Old School though Dr. John is brilliant.
Dear Dr.
Could you please do a video on the Testing Kit? I'd like to know more, especially as it appears they don't work very well.
Inc. North Korea!
Dear Dr. John Campbell, Great lesson, thank you! Please pay a bit of attention to this therapy. Absolutely new in North America! Normobaric World offers therapies in oxygen cabins. The cabin is a medium-size room where oxygen concentration reaches approx. 40% (a double amount that in ambient air). Moreover, the pressure inside the cabin is 1.5 ATA, allowing complete tissue oxygenation. The increase in pressure allows for better oxygenation of all tissues, and more efficient oxygen intake and usage. To achieve the tissue oxygenation effect, the concentration of oxygen must be higher than in ambient air. This atmosphere you can experience in Normobaric World. The important beneficial effect of staying in the Normobaric cabin is the increased stem cell creation and circulation in the blood. These stem cells can transform into any other body cell. Therefore, there is a chance for the body to receive complete, natural, deep regeneration and recovery.
I thought i had something bad with my eyes, thanks to Dr John it's red cells ghosts)))
Dr Campbell thank you so much for you very informative posts.
Sincerely,
From So. California!
Good morning Doctor, from West coast USA, We haven't heard from you today... Hoping you are ok. I've come to really value your daily updates! 💗
You are brilliant Dr Campbell. Thank you
Can someone please discuss the fact that we still have flights coming in from all around China daily? What is happening with these people? Are they going straight to quarantine? We already know the disease can be caught from people who are asymptomatic. We knew that weeks ago and yet they are still using only temperature checks to confirm infection for people crossing borders. Clearly there has to be many people with this virus in the UK already?
Brilliant, I never knew about the ghost blood cells in your eyes! Always wondered what they were. 👍🏻🇬🇧😆

Finally got unlucky enough to contract Covid-19 this week.
Feeling very out of breath, so have ordered an Spo2 monitor from amazon. (arrives tomorrow)
Thanks for the informative video.
Unfortunately I had to learn what oxygen saturation was when I was diagnosed with multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms in July 2017. I had saturation level of 75% when I was first accepted and within 15 minutes it was at 65%. I hope no one ever have to experience what it feels like to live through pulmonary recovery. I keep a pulse oximeter and oxygen generator near me at all times.
Kenneth Evans Can you say more about an oxygen generator? I think I need something like this for a family member who is compromised like this.
Hi John thanks for a superb channel.
I was speaking with my wife's Endochronolgist today. We both have a dry cough but no fever. We have been very worried and self isolating.
(and doing TPRBP & O2 tests every 6 hours)
He informed us that several patients have presented at his hospital with a viral cough which has similar symptoms to CV but less severe.
Is this true ? If so, we should be told because we would not have been so frightened!
Thank you, Dr John. Please also get some rest to boost your own self-immunity.
I also watched the live streaming earlier today 2020-2-22 while it was in progress. I noticed that I didn't have the option to post comment and ask questions at time. I am curious as to whether any other viewers had the same issue (please simply ’Like’ this comment if you had the same problem, or just reply to this comment).
You could see (at least I saw mine) by selecting "top comments" instead of "live comments". Might be chat and not comments. Either way, top showed a smaller segment, live showed all and since so many comment concurrently it was very difficult to see my own comments. The top comments were for a small segment of time, maybe a minute.
@Wishful Thinking Thanks, I will look for it next time.
16:26. The arrow on the CO2 needs to be the other way, since it's going from the blood out into the alveoli, then we breathe it out and it annoys Greta.
Dave Bellamy annoying Greta is the best part!
Dave Bellamy how dare you?
Haven't heard about Greta lately.
True, Dave, I also reacted to that, but it was an honest mistake from the Good Dr :)
@@savednorwegian He is a good doctor indeed! I think it was just a "typo" because he was bit distracted by his collection of spO2 gadgets😀
I bet the first thing you did when your toy arrived was to hyperventilate to get your O2 levels to 100% to test that it worked properly😂.
Very good. Thank you. Interesting to note your O2 saturation fell as did your pluse rate at the end of the presentation as you relaxed knowing it was the end ! Hyperbaric chamber ...? Get your people up to 95%+ ...decent one costs about 15,000$ US new or Russian second hand much less depending on age and spec.
I just want to thank you so very very much for your informative sessions. Really liked the live Q&A today. Please please do more. It's like having your doctor's undivided attention for an hour or two and you get to learn so much. I especially appreciate that you take the time to explain things in terms we can understand. You are the best! Thanks!
Something to consider is oxygen saturation may be normal, but you may still be having breathing problems. I have been having asthma attacks and I was told my o2 was normal, but my lungs were working twice as hard to do it.
Dear Dr Campbell,
I think you are doing a great job informing us about Coronavirus and blood oxygen. Nevertheless, I found a little mistake in your video: you were right that oxygen goes from the alveoli into the blood vessels. BUT carbon dioxide does not got into the blood vessels from the alveoli - the other way round: CO2 goes from the blood (blood vessels) into the alveoli. We breathe in oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide. Please correct this in your video. Thank you.
Dr Reinhold Kittelberger, New Zealand
Thank you for your services Dr. Campbell!
Good luck buying those oxygen devices after this video :)

He is alive! I recommend one for all asthmatics or people who gets pneumonia like illnesses often or have COPD.
Couple years ago, I was admitted into hospital with an oxygen saturation of 78 - 82, if I remember correctly. Still don't know how bad that was. I do remember a standard oxygen mask almost choked me, I simply couldn't breath. Very scary situation. One of my lungs had collapsed. Then they immediatly rushed me into emergengy care. Yes I fear what this virus will do to me.
Couple of yrs?what virus was it?
@@FrensTimmerpens what he meant was probably, that since one of the lungs collapsed there might be a higher risk since the lungs are maybe not 100% functional anymore, cause of that he may fear getting Corona even more
Damn and I thought I had floaters! I can definitely see the dots looking in the bright sky, especially more so when I'm taking pictures
I considered the 2nd shot in the arm, I had a reaction that made me feel like I was poisoned and pretty much figured that I had myocarditis and I felt it was severe for a month, and that I was slowly getting better. At that time my oxygen was 92 - 94 and pulse was 95+. I sort of considered the fact that I am a smoker was the cause.
But then I purchased a S-load NAC, pretty much as a middle finger to the CDC as they were trying to remove it from the market. I took a look at it and felt it might help me out a little, but I took a dose at work, went to bed and woke up feeling like I was alive again. I couldn't believe it, but felt that the heart issues went away. But I figured if this miracle cure was in my head, I wouldn't be able to quantify it and was amazed when the blood oxygen was at 98=99 percent, and my pulse was between 60-65 on average.
I now feel, this little bugger of a device is a very important medical asset to have. I do feel that the NAC has also seriously held me out with a few other problems that I was suffering from as well.
Still feeling better? Do you still take it?
@@sparrowt4082 Yes I do, as it also helps with other things and sense things coming back if I stop. Feel much better and know it helps me out.
This was awesome. I definitely was in class today 😊

Not correct. CO2 arrow in wrong direction. He's dyslexic, I think, and doesn't proofread before uploading. How many people have watched this, trusted it, and concluded they must be stupid ?
Very informative presentation. I learned some. You are GREAT. Thanks for ALL your hard work. You should take it easy and have 66bpm or even lower.
If I understand correctly you have an error: Co2 goes OUT of the Blood back into the lungs while O2 goes from the lungs into the blood.
Am I right?
Simple fix: Change the direction of your blue Co2 arrow and add O2 in red with an arrow going into the blood.
55 new cases in Italy, bringing the total to 134 now. Army send in to enforce quarantine zones. Doesn't sound good at all..

My brother has lung hypertension and his O2 goes really low when he walks a couple of blocks. I am really scared for virus for him.
Tell him to stay home.

get them to a holistic doctor. they will put them on a parasite cleanse made up of bitters. There lungs is where I showed symptoms of very severe copd. I have had copd for 20 years but over the past year I could not breath at night because of mucus in my lungs. I could not release the co2 although I was using oxygen at night. I was actually poisoning myself because I was taking in oxygen but my body was not getting rid of CO2. The parasite cleanse helped me in days. I also bought a PEMF system and it helped my body release the CO2. No doctor told me any of this. No pulmonary doctor I saw helped one bit. I have wiped my hands from those type of doctors because they never mention natural ways to heal the body. Take your brother and yourself to a holistic doctor who understands herbs, vitamins and minerals along with natural supplements.
@@amyalewine Both my parents had COPD from decades of smoking, and still they would not quit till the very end
treat the hypertension with natural methods. Try to research it. Could be smoking, drinking, stress, diet. I don't know your brother. Colud be genetic.
John your channel is a wonderful repository of commentary since the beginning of the pandemic and I wonder if ZOE or another institution would be interested in using text mining techniques to draw out the various concerns of your listeners at different time points to help gain a better understanding of how people experience a situation like this for the future. Just a thought. Might be an interesting project.
I have been trying to tell friends and family about covid-19 and they say its just another flu or they have better things to worry about. This is the way America is, they don't listen or believe til its too late. Being reactive instead of proactive. I just don't understand that thinking, does anybody watching the Doc understand this thinking?
I so know what you mean. Friends/family/roommates have normalcy bias (cant happen here, not that bad, cant happen to me) mentality. Ive been stocking up for the past month and still being called crazy and or paranoid. But I dont care. My health and life matters to me. I know the govs are not being upfront. MSM wont post relevant info online or in the newspapers. Have to dig deep to get the truth (minus fake news and propaganda). I think when this blows up (and people are forced to acknowledge this global disaster) in the US that many people will then panic. Sadly, it will be too late. I dont doubt the good Drs words at all. We are in the opening stages of a global pandemic.
It's too big a problem for the individual to solve.
They paid their taxes so the government will come through for them when the time comes.
They have essential oils to rely on.
God's in charge.
Life is depressing already so it's ok if it is shorter, too.
I'll know when to worry, thank you.
I already have [fill in name of disease] and never get the flu, so I'll be ok.
Look at how many die from the flu each year, why aren't you prepping when flu season starts each year?
-- Just a few of the responses I have gotten. And, no, they don't want to hear how this differs from the flu or that a flu vaccine or tamiflu will not help those who catch it.
They are in denial and don't understand how deadly this virus is because our bodies have no immunity to it!
Used this device and noticed mums pulse rate was 32! So the doctor got her in for a pace maker. The doc was amazed that I had spotted the slow pulse rate. She never saw this before! Thanks for oxy meters
