3 actual ways urine 'can' be used as medical treatments (depending on the urine's composition)
- as a disinfectant on flesh wounds because it's so toxic it kills the infection bacteria.
- as an ear injection to clear earwax because it's so toxic it dissolves the molecular chains that thicken the wax.
- added to large quantities of water and drank to boost immunity because it's so toxic it strengthens you via vaccination.
the whale therapy worked simply because
heat was applied consistently around the arthritic joint for a long time.
you can get exactly the same effect by using an electric blanket.
try it yourself.
Come to Australia they said, it'll be FUN they said.... Everything is upside-down, on fire & actively trying to kill you!
BeeTdubs ~ They're called elephant spiders, and yes, they ARE that massive!
Camel urine is highly recommended in Islam
Can you write a medical text please? I want to distribute it to antivaxxers.
I am recovering from abdominal surgery and Whistler’s many channels have helped me get through. Except his reaction to the metal rods almost killed me with laughter. 😂
Sorry about that!
@@ThatWriterKevin I welcome the laughter, thank you for all of your hard work!
@@saeveth Thanks!
Simon has helped me through lots of surgery recovery periods. Very thankful for finding him
I was gonna say it prolly hurts then I hit read mire
You know it's gonna be a good Blaze when it opens with Simon screaming at Kevin.
That was fantastic to use as the opening
@@ThatWriterKevin Sam has a very particular set of skills.
I love Sam's credits at the end, when they're a gag instead of their actual names it's always a good time.
Agreed!
"Ah, I just read the next line, Kevin." is something I've heard many a times on this channel and Simon's other channels. It is amazing Kevin's still writing for Simon, or maybe that's precisely why Kevin is still writing for Simon.
2:05- You’re right, the procedure is called a craniotomy for intracranial pressure release. I’ve actually watched one in person before. If you have damage to your brain, ie a stroke, your brain begins to swell and can damage itself from the pressure in your skull. To prevent this, they remove a section of your skull to allow it the extra space for swelling, your brain swells up, goes back down and they replace the piece of your skull. Sounds horrible, looks kinda rough but it’s a very smooth process, at least from what I’ve seen.
I hope you witnessed this with the consent of the patient/victim!?😘
@@Iris_and_or_George Certainly! I was a healthcare student at the time and just so happened to be making ends meet financially by cleaning post-op surgery rooms. Talked with the surgeon, surgeon got the okay from patient/family and the rest is history! Genuinely very informative, it gave me both a greater knowledge of the brain and treatment but also put the “big picture” of the treatment process.
@@casadilla111That is SO COOL that you got to do that!
Trepanning or in modern terms - bed side burr hole. It’s still done without a power medical implement. Emergent burr holes are typically done for SDH while cranis are done for deeper bleeds.
This was in an episode of House, so it has to be real. A doctor in Antarctica (the only doctor on the station) passed out from intracranial pressure so House had to instruct a mechanic to drill a hole in her head.
Simon: "I see myself as a fairly productive person..."
You host TWELVE UA-cam channels and still have time for your family -- "fairly productive" doesn't even begin to cover it! :D
If you think Simon hosts 12 UA-cam channels, you need to go find which two you aren't following you
@@ThatWriterKevin omg! There's MORE!?! "Fairly productive" is definitely an understatement haha! ^_^
@@olencone4005 I believe it's 14 total? Maybe Xplrd was in that tally and it's down to 13 now. I'm guessing the one you're missing is Science Unbound
@@ThatWriterKevin I think I might be missing Xplrd -- that one doesn't ring a bell. I've been following Science Unbound since it was the Science of Sci Fi tho hehe!
He wants to get that number up to 20
According to the Mutter Museum, most trepanning patients actually survived, as there's evidence on ancient skulls of healing after the procedure, and even people who survived multiple surgeries.
And because the pain of having a hole drilled into the skull wasn't/isnt an issue as the skull is without nerves, it wouldnt have automatically been that bad, especially if being knocked out by drugs or anything else...Trepanation can work wonders
Which culture? Because Europeans were filthy.
I love Kevin traumatizing Simon.
Bart Huges trepanned himself in the old school way with a dentists drill in the 60s. He wrote a book and did a whole series of interviews/lectures in the 1970s. Also soldiers in the Pacific Island campaign would stretch out their blood supplies by thinning it out with coconut water. It turned out to be an excellent match for intracellular water and can still be used in a pinch.
The coconut water is interesting! Thanks for letting us know!
I'd heard that about the coconut water before, it was even shown in a Jackie Chan movie at one stage, I think it was Who Am I? From what I remember reading about it, so long as the coconut is fresh and still green it works, but apparently not good if it's properly ripe and brown skinned.
@@Pucknuckle This is probably much more widely known, but coconut water is also one of the best natural cures for nausea (other than ginger) that I've used.
I did a month of volunteer work in Costa Rica with a group right before entering High School, and the third week of the trip we got to live with a local family. When I told them I was losing my appetite because I was starting to get home sick (they were relatively poor, so I felt bad wasting the breakfasts they'd make), the father would just go outside the kitchen, hack a fresh, green coconut off the tree, cut the top off, and pour the water into a glass. I've never had nausea clear up so quickly and effectively in my life. This knowledge came in handy years later when I started regularly tripping on psychedelics, which often cause nausea and vomiting.
I had minor back pain for a while. Was mostly caused by my sedentary life style, and it sucked. I have started eating a bit better and doing stretches and a light workout and it's mostly gone. But that wasn't even truly chronic back pain. And I'd still take ed over it if I had to choose. Back pain is no joke.
I've lived with it for a long time, if I got to choose ed or continuing to live with chronic pain, I'll take all the ed. Just give it all to me.
I've been dealing with severe chronic pain for over a decade. I would take a lot of other things over this any day. Chronic pain is the worst!
@sindrek8 especially since the back pain could make the lack of ED moot. Ain't gonna be much going on if your back isn't up to it.
@QBCPerdition Yepp, there has been times where my back just isn't up to it. Like I said, I'd take the ed every day of the week over chronic back pain.
Chronic back pain has been a part of my life since 1974. I reached the point where I had a neurostimulator installed. I've had to have the open back part done twice due to...lets say it is unpleasant.
Speaking of a neurostimulator, somebody needs to explain electros€x to Simon. I'm sure he would throw a spectacular fit over some of the weird stuff I've done. It could be delightfully entertaining.
Simon's reaction to the metal rods in the urethra had me laughing and wheezing so much, my asthma triggered and I needed my inhaler!😂😂😂😂
It was the "rohhhhhzz" sound that got me! 😂😂😂😂😂
"I just READ THE NEXT LINE, KEVIN!!!" ;o)
Sorry for almost killing you
@@ThatWriterKevin that's okay. Still the best laugh I've had in ages!🤣💖
I work in a Hospital cleaning surgical equipment.
Still some nasty metal stuff that goes up there (men and women) to this day!
@@MCTicTac If you're not careful about how (exactly and PRECISELY) you set the search terms when shopping for a TENS device, you might find yourself in a state similar to Simon's... just seeing what they sell AS TOYS FOR ADULTS!!!
I'm not sure if it's the availability, or that someone actually thinks it A GOOD TIME... that should be more shocking... ;o)
Gotta love that centuries after some of these entries, we still deal with willful medical misinformation. Well done humanity 👏
I love more that anyone argues against regulation. Let anyone sell anything and don't even have one national education system. Almost like the rich want the poor to stay stupid.
@@Loralanthalasfunny that eh
I heard the ED thing on the radio just yesterday in an ad, by some place that just says laser treatment
@@KNR90 ah laser treatments: they cure hair, fat, and peepee issue thar viagra won't fix. Odd that those places have never been shut down.
AB- is not the universal recipient blood type, that is AB+
Yeah, you can receive blood from anyone if you’re AB+ like me. One small way to give back as an AB+ is to donate plasma. We are the universal plasma donors since our plasma has to handle all the antigens. Donating plasma is easy and doesn’t make you tired because you keep your platelets. If you’re AB, it’s a great thing to do.
Nice job Kevin! This is the 2nd video that you've managed to freaked out Fact Boi!
Thanks!
Simon looks so relaxed in his comfy looking shirt.
Until then he got to the penis electrocution bit! 😂
it really does look like a great shirt
Upped his game from the sweater/blazer look
Weird compliment.
@@MrMuz99 it's a weird channel
Simon, if you give someone with AB negative A or B positive, you will kill them. AB positive is the universal receiver, lol.
I'm Rhesus A Negative, and can't have any other blood except my type.
The first time I needed a transfusion, they gave me O Neg because "universal donor". I had a horrendous reaction. Hives, vomiting, itching, my blood pressure plummeted, and I couldn't breathe. I think that was my first experience of anaphylaxis.
Now, whenever I need a procedure, I have to remind them that I'm incompatible with O Neg, in the off-chance I need a transfusion. (Which ended up happening during spinal surgery a couple of years ago).
@@Emerald.She-RaSure try telling the doctors you know more than them. That's sarcasm.
That must have been horrible having surgery and then dealing with anaphylaxis.
As a child I couldn't believe that Trephination would work, I thought I had headaches before. Then I turned about 20 and had my first migraine. Now i understand why they thought it was such a good idea
Wtf! Siri actually answered with a correct response? Amazing!
Trepanation is still practiced. Typically called a "burr hole" now. I actually watched it done last month for an epidural hemmorhage
Early european transfusions were also poorly understood because often a relative was the donor for a human to human tranfusion, and often these patients survived, but then they didn´t know that it was because they shared a type. They thought it was because a young or strong relative was sharing their vitality with the sick relative. So then doctors started grabbing the strongest dude off the street instead of sticking to relatives. Then the patients would die again. So it really WAS confusing even if they were to try to use a scientific method, as thy couldn´t see WHY it was working in some cases, and not in others.
When my little brother was a baby my little 5 yr old sister went Into his room. Tried pulling him out of his crib and dropped him. Doctors put a shunt in his head to drain the fluid leaking into his brain. He survived and is a fully functional hell of a guy.
i just rubbed $#!t in my eyes and it cured my covid ..... thank you Simon
You should do a second installment and include when medicine dropped radioactive beads in the holes they drilled through the skull. It was a treatment for brain tumors.
To be fair on the milk thing, this was the time in American medicine when 2 surviving patients ever was a pretty good record
Starts 'thanks Kevin ' then proceeds to yell at Kevin 😂
Yeah, the idea of urethral-sounding does that to you
I mean, if I hadn't written this Simon never would've known people electrocuted their dicks and he'd have been happier
Twenty foot crocodiles may be scary, but drop bears are the real threat.
As someone who’s had fairly severe spinal arthritis since their mid 20s, ED a lot of times has links to issues with blood pressure…I mean zapping yourself is gonna send that BP through the roof..at least blood pressure is treatable without surgery 🤦🏼♀️😂
There is something totally pleasing to have Simon in as much pain reading as we are hearing these wacko crazed shenanigans of the distant and not so distant pasts 😜
I literally had somone last week try and float the idea of urine therapy to me. They suggested drinking and inhaling it in steam form. No joke!
I left pretty quickly....
To be fair I had leukemia in 2012 and one of my treatments was arsenic, twice the lethal dose to be exact! I’m still kicking and my only side effect is some joint pain😂
I work in a blood bank at a hospital. We always have universal type O negative blood in stock for emergencies in both the ER and the blood bank. Type AB positive blood is the universal recipient :)
The metal rod section was truly hilarious. It’s even more funny when you know people buy special machines to do exactly that for s3>
Note to self: Don’t ever tell Simon you have a headache 🤕
If Simon thinks he’s under productive I’m fucked
Fun fact: most mild dental work is actually painless and feels the same with or without anesthesia they are just worried about you freaking out if they touch a gum or nerve. They can even give you a pretty good estimate of the pain you might feel if you ask. Post root canal I prefer no needle to my cheek but I also brush my gums everyday and enjoy captain crunch so…
Indeed, I have had minor work done without anesthesia and felt nothing.
Dental work has improved tremendously even since the 1960s. The air-driven turbine drills are a huge improvement over the old electric pulley-driven ones. The electric ones would vibrate your whole head. And suction is so much better than trying to spit with novacained lips.
The past was the best, especially lobotomies, really scratches that itch inside your mind
When it comes to bad medicine, don't forget about... love. 😛
Yep oxycodone, it’s still prescribed in the uk. I’m on it for chronic pain from ruined discs and nerve damage
It works as a painkiller but there are a lot of side effects
Looking at the list of Brain Blaze scripts that Kevins written..... That durn Kevin Jennings ! * cue mentos smile* 🤭🤭
Simon: “it’s hot in Australia.”
Me: in Australia, currently freezing my ass off coz it’s -10°C outside. 😅
They still put in burr holes to relieve brain pressure. Also many people survived having their brain drilled into. Many of the skulls that archaeologist have dug up, have shown many survived, healed, & even had multiple surgeries!
Now waiting for the release of the new "Whale Entrail" scent on the Rotting Turtle line.
I love the old treatment for women with THE VAPORS!! (BZZZZ BZZZZZZ ZAP ZAP) 😳😵💫🤣
Even I, a female, felt that "Bruh"
Isn't this just the same video from about a year ago called weirdest medical treatments from history we have the electric junk treatment the whale stuff and the piss drinking
Yeah trepanation is still very much a thing for releasing cranial pressure
Trepidation over trepanation! 😱
It's current use is very different than how it was used in the past though. I could have worded that better for sure
Urine therapy? R. Kelly has entered the chat......
"I drink it cause it's sterile, and I like the taste!"
@@RHColeCalm down, Patches!
"It's R. Kelly! I've been pissed on by dudes that didn't have record contracts!"
I’m O neg lol so yup.
Yay new business blaze
20:00 - Fact boy.exe has stopped responding
Before they knew about blood types, it must have seemed totally random whether the procedure was life saving or deadly
Def safer just to go with saline... tho I'm a little surprised they didn't spit in the saline for extra "strength" or something >.>
Woo new blaze!!!
The ending credits 😂
Everyone's quoted Blackadder 2: A leech on my bottom for constipation 😅😅
What the hell Simon you can’t do this to us 0:09 literally starts the video with the most relaxed shirt, looking completely like every man wants to look😂
I'd take erectile disfunction over back pain any day.
That's coming from a guy with chronic back pain.
Here's the thing. I'm sure people with ED can still have sex sometimes. It's really fucking hard to enjoy sex when it hurts every time you move.
You’re right that a modern version of trepanation exists, I had it! It’s called a Craniectomy it permanent and craniotomy when it’s temporary. It’s usually done to prevent damage from swelling. Mine is permanent and called a posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty to relieve the pressure from acquired chiari malformation (essentially herniated brain crushing brain stem/brain tonsils/spinal column). The procedure predates trepanation with evidence that decompression skull surgeries were fairly common in pre Colombian Americas
Could have been WORST they could have injected them with beer or good old Canadian Maple syrup LoL now that is what they should have used LoL
Fun fact: meso American people use trepenation successfully. We have a bunch of skulls with healed trepanning holes in them. They used to cover the hole with worked metal.
I'm unreasonably impressed at how you guessed how much 12 ounces is
Anyone my or Simon's age should know that off hand tbh. Growing up all we had was cans. Then there were 16 ounce bottles, then 20 ounce. Cans didn't have 12 ounces in their name, but when the bottles were introduced it became clear to anyone who hadn't bothered to read yet.
@@ThatWriterKevin ounces aren't a thing in Europe
@@josephrutkin5017 right...cause he looked it up in ml...and I definitely remembered that when I made my original comment
It's almost like he's actually read the writing on a Coke can.
If you had severe swelling of the brain, they would take a portion of your skull out. It was usually a 4-5 inch circle, and they would just leave it off till your welling went down
Been a crap 2 days and just got home.. saw this and thought... yep!! A good Simon rant will make it all better😂hope everyone is well! Now time to dive in✌
A WKUK reference in a business blaze script!!!! Well that’s it I can die happy now.
The cure by whale sitting... We needed something to sell and the yanks would believe anything...
Lest we forget the time radium was said improve literally everything including male virility, going so far as to add the stuff to condoms
LOL the drop bears reference 😂
Glad you noticed it
I've watched more than a lot of the Blaze, and the whale bit has *definitely* been in a previous video 😂
can someone let me know the movie/series that the clips at 13:35 & 17:30 are from? I know sam uses bits from it a lot and I'd love to watch it😂
Correction: O- can donate to anyone and can only receive from O- is correct. However, it is AB+ that can receive from anyone but can only donate to AB+. As far as AB-, they can donate to either AB- or AB+.
And AB - cannot get Rh positive blood
@WildSuppositions CORRECT any blood type that is negative can only receive negative blood types, which they are compatible with. So with AB- they can receive O-, A-, B- & AB-. But positive blood types are about to receive either positive or negative blood types, which they are compatible with. So with O+ they can receive O+ or O-.
Urine therapy?? You have to be taking the piss! That can't be real.
The truly shocking part of this video was Siri not being completely useless for once...
They do sometimes remove sections of skull in cases of severe head trauma. Usually to prevent brain damage from swelling
The past truly was the worst 😅
Simon knew I was just finishing rolling a joint and released this video for me to blaze along!
I wait all day until I'm home from work to watch, then when I get home I get my Blaze on whilst I get my blaze on
@@SegwayBossk Indeed, this channel is perfect to get my brain blazed!
I have mild back pain due to poor posture and being 40, and I will happily suffer through it as long as my dick doesn't stop working. I guess Simon and I have different priorities, or I'm just a massive pervert. I'm also sad the drop bears comment didn't get a reaction.
Also, don't forget you can get access to the full script for this episode and many more (including all those intros that got cut out) by clicking on my name
An old guy once told me he puts grease on his knees to lubricate them and ease any pain. He would literally take grease from old machines and rub it on his joints. He truly believed it helped.
I am an Australian and I can testify that there are definitely spiders here as big as a head. 😏
trepanning has been done for thousands of years and is still done. It is actually a very useful procedure when done right.
Yes, just not for random headaches >.>
ED, or constant pain for the rest of your life... Sorry wife..
Yes way Simon Australia is one Fkd up place lol trust a Aussie lol
I too would like to be revived with morphine and whiskey.
Urea, one ingredient in piss is fantastic for healing angry rashes.
Yaaaaaaay! 🎉
Universal recipient is AB+ fact boy 😂
Simon's got that medieval brit vibe right now.
Simon out here hoping giant spiders aren't real 😂
When the very start of the video is Simon screaming "OH I JUST READ THE NEXT LINE, KEVIN!", you know it's going to be a good one.
Hope you enjoyed!
Has Danny escaped from the cellar 🤔🤔
oh dear😂 pikachu made me literally laugh out loud
Holy shit medical science is disturbing
Curious to know if a 100 plus year old man could get a boner since it goes by age30/ 30%,40-40%,50-50% so by this theory someone over 100 wouldn't be able to? Or could they? But let's say this 100 year old man can handle the meds no other health conditions just age.
Yeah, I really wondered what happens when you get to 100. Probably not a big enough sample size
The past was the worst ... except for cocaine.
Technically the first painless surgery under general anesthesia was in 1846 and the cocaine alkaloid wasn't isolated until 1855. While opium (not just the poppy but tinctures and powders as well as drinks) were available, morphine was only commercially available in 1827.
Regardless, if cocaine was available at the same time then so was anesthesia for surgery.
I have read that before the arrival of Europeans, all Native Americans (both continents) had type O negative blood. A blood transfusion would absolutely work under those conditions. Unfortunately for the Europeans they had type A, B, and + blood antigens to make infusions quite lethal for each other.
“Erythrocytes from 120 full blooded American Indians and 155 Indians of mixed ancestry were tested for the Rh agglutinogen. Only a single blood among the full blooded Indians appeared to lack this factor, and in the Indians known not to be full blooded, the distribution of this (and other) blood properties was found to be intermediate between that for whites and pure Indians according to expectation. A variant of Rh demonstrable by a special human serum was more than twice as frequent in full blooded Indians as in white individuals.” - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2135301
This will confirm the past was the worst
Thanks to this show I know that drop bears are not real.
"... As far as I'm aware."
.... well, science time?
