Doctor Reacts to BIZARRE Facebook Health Posts

I’ve taken a look at disturbing health posts showing up everywhere from YouTube to TikTok, but today I decided to take a look at the source of a lot of the internet’s medical misinformation: Facebook. What I saw drove me up the wall. Quiet a baby by pressing pressure points? Heal muscle soreness by walking barefoot? The dangers of a red tongue?! Don’t believe everything you see in a Facebook video, and definitely don’t share it unless you can verify it’s TRUE!

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

I would never vaccinate my children, that is reckless and dangerous.


I let the doctor do it.

I love that you stated that autism is mostly inherited!!! Parents don't want to know this, they want to blame something else, like vaccines or polution. But I am a functional autistic and I know my father is autistic too, but he will never acknowledge this. My grandfather died when I was in middle school and for what I remember, he could have been autistic too. We have so much similar coping mechanisms. My mother would die of embarrassment if "society knew".

I actually went to school with a guy that was born with only one kidney . He was always pretty healthy and did a lot of sports his dad was actually a athletic coach

The strangest thing is on the 1st day of class a brand new teacher looked at him and said you were born with one kidney. And the guy was so surprised like how did you know that. I still don't actually know how the teacher knew that

I don't even have to dance to increase my anxiety.

My little sister was diagnosed with autism pretty close to when she was born. She never had any Vax shots or anything and when people think that those shots causes her to be autistic, I think that any and all things that they say is now discredited due to them saying that.

There actually is a study from Germany on the effects of dance training with elderly sedentary people which showed significant improvements in cognitive measurements (and if I remember correctly, memory was one of the subscales affected).
Sport has been shown to improve some cognitive function and even lead to neurogenesis in some parts of the brain, but we still don't fully understand the mechanisms behind it.

When he said "Increases Anxiety" instead of "Increases Energy", It made me laugh.

[scoutintime]

energy: exists
doctor mike: anxiety, take it or leave it

I'm autistic, and it kind of breaks my heart seeing people risking their own children's lives just for them to not have ASD. The fact that they might have autism after all and parents like those are 100% not going to give them any kind of support also makes me feel icky...
If you have a child, there's always some risk they might be autistic. That's alright. We just percieve the world in a different way and need help sometimes.
I'm diagnosed, and even though my father is not, I am about 98% sure I got it from him. He has all the symptoms I have. That can happen as well, right? As far as I know it is more common than I believed

With chronic back, neck and joint problems, I sleep in whatever the heck way is comfortable!!

Picture: Increase Energy
Doctor Mike: Increase Anxiety

[furryavacado]

Doctor Mike: "Green is a pleasing color"
Me, gazing into his eyes: "I agree~"

[thepunisher]

Honestly it should be illegal to put such false medical claims on the internet, why its not is beyond me

[CaptainCloudyNWhiskers]

As someone with autism- my first marker was before my baby vaccines, and I was diagnosed with Asperger's at 3 years old. No one in my family has it as I know, but both of my parents have bipolar, and I do as well.

[marissahotaling]

He said for dance it “Increases Anxiety” Lol

[LottasASMR]

Doctor Mike: "Dancing increases AnXiEtY"
Me after 12 years of ballet lessons: "oh so that's why"

I’m a mattress salesperson. You hit that part so accurately!

Personally 4:08 I am never going to change my sleeping position no matter what anyone tells me because it is the only way I can sleep. No matter how hard I tried, whenever I move into supposed “healthier sleep positions” my body is physically unable to sleep.
