Little disappointed in the anesthetic question response. She described what it is, not how it works. Was hoping far a mention of the “lipid raft hypothesis”. Safe to say the answer to that question is not entirely understood, and would take way more than 1 minute to explain. Very much enjoyed the video.

Clinical trials on acupunctures have shown that there are very little difference between “real” acupuncture and sham acupuncture. It’s only more efficient than no treatment, but it’s simply the act of stabbing your with needles.
The whole “acupuncture principles” are pseudo science,

When I hold in a pee and am about to finally let go, I get a weird feeling in my teeth. That makes no sense to me that those parts would be connected. It isn’t painful, it seems like the only thing that activates all of my nerves in my teeth.

A medicine doctor talking about teeth!? Careful, Dr. Cheng, the dental mafia won’t like this! To them, it is a slippery slope between a medicine doctor mentioning teeth and the medical industry recognizing teeth as crucial to overall health!

7:09 updated research has shown that pain is not only influenced by the biological mechanism but may also be affected by the psychosocial factors (PMID: 29408484) of course the video doesnt go into detail to keep it succinct but thought it might be important to point it out here

I have a bit of a tangent on the Reflex Hammer…. Why do I not have a reflex after having severe lymphedema in both legs¿? Would that cause damage to the nerves and if not what would cause me to not have a pain sensation in my legs anymore¿?

Great stuff. A side note: Isn’t it the case that, in addition to “fight or flight,” there is the “freeze” response (Jaak Panksepp). If it is more common among non-human animals, it is among the human responses to threat.

Uhh, I’m going to need a citation on that acupuncture info. Wikipedia mentions that it’s on par with placebo, or that sham acupuncture sometimes does better. So save yourself the money and get a friend to randomly pin cushion you.

After a simple cold my face on the right side started to burn and tingle all over. When i spoke to me GP she diagnosed it as Trigeminal Neuralgia. She has given medication, its controlling the pain but it made certain parts of my face numb. I have been told to improve my immune system, will this ever go away?

That was a really BAD explanation of how your brain operates the various nerves and muscles to move your body!!
It wasn’t WRONG, it was just very BADLY explained.
That poor question-asker probably has even MORE confusion about the process now…
He should ask a neurologist/ psychologist/ psychiatrist. They all have to study neurology and neuropathy. They can all give better answers.

More importantly, Wonder what doctors would absolutely not talk about it because they were approached by the powers that be (that I am quite sure don’t like the people) (if that ever happened)
