      It's more understandable to say that bad things happen and your god offers love and compassion to the people. You're just trying to justify your suffering. Suffering doesn't make anyone stronger. My PTSD and heavy dissociative symptoms don't make me stronger. They make me jumpy and make me have flashbacks and trust issues.

      The fact you're trying to threaten me with your god proves that the Christianity you people push is nothing but zealotry. Your god is not the sadist you so desperately want it to be. Why can you not accept that maybe your god doesn't have a plan for you, that your god may instead shed tears alongside you in your darkest hours--because things in life happen for the sake of chaos, without pattern or reason. That sounds much more like the compassionate god the bible supposes it to be.

    For those of you questioning why anyone would do something like this I'll give you the answer: chronic illness and pain will make you desperate for relief even if it's just temporary because it's extremely exhausting to live with constant pain, it's all you can think about. You lose enough function you may become desperate enough to try anything. For those dealing with chronic illness and pain, just know that although you feel like a failure, you are one of the strongest people on the planet. It takes great mental and physical strength to push through something so debilitating. I salute you fellow warriors 💜

      I used 3% H2O2 to clean chronic abscesses for 15 years. I used it to burn dead skin off a road rash that wouldn't heal. No way I would even touch 35%!
      PS I strongly doubt those "studies" that say H2O2 does nothing. Its oxidizing power makes it a fantastic debriding agent, and thus it's quite obviously also good for cleaning wounds and killing bacteria. It reminds me of when some itch cream company sponsored research to "prove" that calamine lotion doesn't help itching - or how Canadian doctors now won't put a drain in an opened abscess because of some study, meaning wound care nurses have to keep sending people back to get cut again and again.

You likely have a close neighbor who is bed bound or house bound, suffering in loneliness. Health care MUST be regarded as a human right, not based on having enough money...

    I had a girlfriend decades ago who was ignored by doctors and ended up with permanent joint damage from Lyme Disease that doctors said was impossible. When they finally tested for it, it was too late to do anything about, and in her 20s she was walking with a cane. I was present when the doctor finally agreed to test for Lyme and it came back positive.
    As a young woman, her complaints were routinely dismissed or downplayed by both doctors and nurses, even when other people spoke up on her behalf.

I think some doctors in that era weren't fully convinced it was a real disease affecting a non-negligible number of people. It's symptoms were non-specific enough, just like many autoimmune diseases, that her doctor thought it easier to assume she was a hypochondriac. Or whiny. Which, given women typically have a higher pain tolerance than men, is absurd and silly and offensive.

      That's true. I think her point was that listening to the patient is the best place to start, instead of making up your mind and then stubbornly dismissing them. It's probably worth mentioning, too, that she's spent a significant amount of time practicing in parts of the world where she wouldn't have had access to much sophisticated diagnostic equipment, so I think she had to learn a lot more less precise "rule of thumb" types of working, just to be able to do anything at all. In that case, carefully listening to what your patients are feeling and how they interpret those feelings might in many cases literally be the best you can do.

      Doctors are humans. We are fallible. Just like everyone else.....things slip past our minds at times for whatever reason. The responsibility and pressure to be perfect are pretty intense. Its not an excuse, but it is a reality. While the case here is presented with all the pertinent information up front, its never this way when interviewing a patient. If she never mentioned the facial rash......SLE is not an easy diagnosis to make. There can be a TON of different symptoms and varying levels of severity. Without that one key symptom not associated with anything else, people can go many years undiagnosed.
      In a perfect world, we could order hundreds of tests looking for anything and everything. Neither private nor public insurance will pay for almost all of those tests though.
      We have to operate in a for-profit healthcare system, while also trying to live the Hippocratic Oath of “Do No Harm”. These things are at odds with one another, almost constantly.

    I was diagnosed at 55 with SLE, I had it since I was 9yrs old. I went to doctors for 15 years, went through 20+ doctors only to be told IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. I was afraid that if I was told it was in my head one more time I would harm the doctor who told me that again. So, I went from 26yrs old to 55yrs old without seeing a doctor. Then I had a flare that almost killed me. I survived, but it took 8 years to recover partly enough to do much of anything and left me with damaged lungs and heart. I am a man, and I was told by doctors it was not possible to get SLE as a man, only women get it. I took upwards of 20 ibuprofen a day just to get by for 25 years, the damage that did is still there. I hope more people, especially doctors, learn about SLE. Thank you for this video, may everyone who needs it see it before it is too late.

      I have a question for you. Have you had a lot of stress in your life, or any trauma, or traumatic events? I ask because I was covered with Eczema for the first five years of my life. It’s also an autoimmune disorder. I learned many years later in a college class on Child Growth and Development that Eczema is a psychosomatic (mind to body) reaction to stress. It made perfect sense to me, not in that my early childhood years were stressful, but that my father died test piloting a new jet while still in the Naval Reserves in 1952, and my mother was just 3 months pregnant with me. And with two little boys in tow, I was to be her third Caesarian Section, unheard of in those days, thus quite risky. Suffice it to say, her stress became my stress. So that’s why I’m asking you about stress and trauma. I have heard that stress and trauma cause autoimmune disorders. Austrian (?) Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk and Canadian Gabor Mate, MD, have both written books on this issue. And both are here on YT. Your thoughts?

      Thing with doctors is they can't dismiss what parents say aswell since the parents should know more about the patient and the parent pretty much made the case that her daughter is a Hypochondriac "a person who is abnormally anxious about their health." and evidently came to that conclusion coz when you can't explain the plethora of symptoms the patient described what else can you say? and yes that means the doctors she visited weren't skilled enough to make a diagnosis and the parent made it even harder since it's an Autoimmune disease and that's really hard to diagnose to begin with. Alot of things come in play when it comes to diagnosis and it's nothing to scoff at and imagine going to a police station and getting mixed information you wouldn't know what to do with the contradicting information and forced to a diagnosis considering this mixed information so even if the Doctors made the patient talk the parents observations can't be ruled out just coz they are what they are. It's a rough thing and a sad sight to see and it's the parents fault for being too dismissive portraying her daughter as a Hypochondriac. It's nice when i heard she did make a full recovery, always glad to hear that. This is what happens when loved ones play doctor in the house, like everybody has an opinion regardless of lack of medical training and doctors need DATA and not IDEAS coz they are the one to turn the DATA to IDEAS and not the other way around and they don't need that help coz it just makes things more complicated than what they really are.

Most likely, the medical journals discourage regular households from buying and using that strength of peroxide probably due to the stronger fumes during use, and the problems when inexperienced household members spill it onto their skin. so, as a result of the search I did, I settled for both a gallon of isopropyl alcohol and a gallon of 3% peroxide to order. I had to resort to alcohol and peroxide as surface disinfectant in the house because bleach is too cumbersome to prepare, plus the bleach fumes and the leftover diluted bleach only lasts 24-48 hrs in the spray container. :)

    God this makes me think so much, when i was around 13 my mom started going to this alternative "doctor" after being basically tired and dismissed by the health system for all her life and seeing the same happen to me, i knew my mom was desperate so i keep my concerns inside and just let her have this and to be fair, after being treated by him for a couple of months she looked actually happy, more healthy, seeing her like this was just, such a relief and i couldn't help but to keep my mouth shut.
    He was also seeing me too, did some treatments, is also funny bc he was the first one to notice that i had anxiety and tried to actually medicate me for it.
    Everything seemed fine, even though I always doubted him what he did was not dangerous and seemed, well, reasonable to a point.
    Until one day he told me to gulp some peroxide, when i tell you i had to fight my own mother to not drink it, i don't blame her, until that point since the start he had given reasonable and seemly good advice, the only "doctor" to treat her like a person, like her problems are real and it didn't only have treatment but cure. I knew damn well what peroxide was not for drinking and thank god, at the end of the day, my mom would believe the word of her own daughter over a man.
    After that little incident we never went to that "doctor" again, but what i find funnier is the fact that i still use his advice that relates to peroxide, use it for nosebleed, the only thing that stops me from bleeding out.

Like for plastics, it means that it can come into contact with food and *some* heat and not leave toxic chemicals behind or react with the foods.

So he has a reason to want to make people a lot more careful. And yes, that may seem like mocking to you as you are apparently a user of alternate health forums (and propably for a reason).
      But he's trying to get through to you that even if a bunch of doctors misdiagnose you for whatever reason that doesn't mean you should give up and grasp for straws from people who never studied organic chemistry!
      Or worse: take an alternate medicine too far because you're desperate.
      The main problem with this and especially internet forums is that it is a whole lot easier to misunderstand or misuse those therapies. A doctor will only prescribe you so much and expect you to report how it goes so he can reevaluate. There will be specific information on how to dose, what kind of side effects there may be (they even list side effects that where never actually reported but could *in theory* arise) and when to be worried or not take the meds. Additionally, someone else will be aware you have a specific prescription. So doctors will have clues if anything does go wrong and "VC is admitted to the ER". You don't have that for "alternate meds" as you call them. No studies exist or if they exist they point out serious problems or lacking effects which is why the med is *not used* in modern medicine. Trust me, the pharma industry is the first to make money if something *is* proven useful.
      You're free to use yourself as a test bunny for your own illness if you feel the need but always make sure to ask someone with inside knowledge of medicine (attested, so you can be sure they are relativly prone with organic chemistry) before taking alternate medications of any kind or dosage. Or at least go to a professionial "alternate" doctor rather than a forum where you can never be sure "Dr. Sunshine" is really who he claims to be.

    My mom was like this. Had sciatica and numbness in my legs starting at 16, and she downplayed it to doctors or wouldn’t even take me to see them about it. 6 years later and I found out I have DDD and was born with thin disks. Because I didn’t get any treatment or even a diagnosis until a few years ago, I now have bulging disks, herniated disks, arthritis and stenosis in my spine, and very recently one of the bulges broke off of the disk and is pressing into 2 nerves (one being my sciatic nerve) 24/7, non stop. I’m only 26 and my only option is surgery, and that won’t even fix the underlying issue. I live in unrelenting chronic pain that makes it nearly impossible to sleep or eat (lost 15lbs in a month and get an average 2-3 hours a sleep a night).
    Parents, please believe your kids when they say something isn’t right.
    Update: long story short, my mom has also never told me who my father really is, I had an idea of who he was but she constantly denied it. Well, the reason I wanted to know is because they have a rare genetic disease in their family that I just recently found I have all the symptoms of. A decade of begging who my father is just so I could get tested for my undiagnosed worsening neurological issues only to find out I may have Friedrich’s Ataxia.
    With this discovery I’ve cut all contact with my mother. Never have I been more angry with anyone I’ve ever met than with her. My life is ruined, I could’ve gotten treatments years ago only if she put her pride aside and made sure her child was alright, but I guess that’s too much for some people. Hopefully getting tested before the year is out, but please parents, don’t EVER do anything my mother has done.
    I’m very quickly having to face the horrifying reality that I’ll probably be wheelchair bound in a hand full of tears, not be able to take care of my son alone, and even having to scale back or close my dream business. Fucking terrible news but please take this as a learning lesson from my disaster of a life.

    There is a process to taking 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. This was an accident. The way 35% fghd is taken is suppose to be minimum. A few drops in water not a whole glass. I take this product and I dilute it to put on my plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is an over growth of skin cells which builds up and causes thickening. 35% FGHD causes skin cells to slow down. Hence my plaque psoriasis is going away. Now taking it ingested it's suppose to be done without food in your stomach. You start with 2 drops 3 times a day, you can eat an hour after taking it or 3 hours after you've eaten. Each day you add another drop to it until you've reached 25 drops, then you start working your way down. Removing a drop each day. The reason this works is oxygen kills many diseases in your body with the oxygen. Now doctors like this guy would tell you it's bad because he's not getting patients if this is working.
    This poor girl had an accident and made a mistake. She harmed herself by placing something in a different container. It is serious to drink this stuff straight without dilution. 25 drops is the max you can ingest. She drank more then her body can take. Research things before just doing what you do without knowledge about it. If people had listened to her in her youth she worksheets have seeked treating herself. This is on her parents. A friend had an infected toe and diluted this stuff and his fungus is gone. We put hydrogen peroxide on wounds, this is food grade but still very toxic if ingested in its full strength.

    A good friend of mine had a terminal lung condition related to pulmonary pneumonitis. She was on oxygen 24/7, antibiotics stopped working and her doctors told her that her only chance for survival would be a double lung transplant. She started drinking 35% Food Grade H202 diluted in distilled water (25 drops of 35% diluted in 8oz. of distilled water) 3 times a day and slept with the same solution in a humidifier next to her pillow at night. In 2-3 weeks, she was off of her oxygen 95% of the time and her stress test and oxygen levels were in normal range. Her doc told her that whatever she was doing to keep doing it. Drinking or inhaling 35% Food Grade peroxide straight/undiluted will cause problems. But when it is diluted properly it can cure terminal health conditions with zero side effects.

My mother had begged him to go and see a doctor because I was 'old enough to understand Christmas and she wanted him to be well enough for it and his birthday'. This was early 1980s.

      The thing is, the symptoms of autoimmune diseases are usually non-specific, and there are a lot of people with symptoms that could theoretically be caused by autoimmune disease, but actual autoimmune diseases like SLE are extremely rare. So the doctor has to try and find the one person with a serious autoimmune disease out of dozens or hundreds of patients who have symptoms that could potentially be associated with such disease but don't actually have it.
      Usually the sign that the non-specific symptoms are in reality something serious are a. they last longer that you'd expect, or b. they evolve into something more serious. In both of these cases the disease will be diagnosed "late", and in hindsight it can be pointed out that those early symptoms that were ignored were the first signs of the disease. This can be very frustrating to the patient, but usually the doctor didn't do it out of malice or neglect (there are asshole doctors as well who genuinely don't care but they are a minority), but because he's met a hundred patients with the same exact symptoms and none of them had any serious illness, and that made him biased

      @@exantiuse497 SLE is on the uncommon side, but it does not qualify as a rare disease. UCTD is a catch-all diagnosis for those who are showing some signs in their blood and body that could eventually grow into a full blown autoimmune disease, and it’s a lot more common. If you start someone like that on something benign like plaquenil if it’s looking vaguely like SLE, it can prevent evolution into a full blown disorder. I didn’t meet all the SLE criteria when i rolled up to my first and my current rheumatologist (lol to my misfortune, we got there eventually 😂), but at that point id been ignored to where my shoulder was destroyed, i had awful rashes, was sleeping 18 hours a day, and with that i had a family history of multiple autoimmune diagnoses. Plaquenil took the intensity down a bit and gave him time to keep watching me and it’s an extremely good thing he did. I could have easily been dismissed at that time and I wasn’t. I would’ve had to drop out of school, and based on my bloods that have been course-corrected he saved me from liver and thyroid damage, in addition to more joints that have flared over time. There is no reason to turn a patient away who exists in a grey area. especially if they’ve got something specific to a disease like a malar rash. I understand doctors have a lot moving through their heads and it sucks to have patients that exist outside of a neat box, but writing someone off as anxious or lazy is unacceptable. It may be the case in some, but do some due diligence first.

    Honestly a large amount of the blame falls on the mother here. That's an almost abusive reaction to her daughter's constant pain and symptoms, and she definitely was a major reason things went this badly.
    Edit: So I said "almost" abusive to play it safe because of my own complicated family situation making me a poor judge of what is or isn't abusive parenting. Seeing how many people agree that it's abuse though, I will affirm that yes I think it's abusive and extremely fucked up.

They are sold for sanitation purposes, semiconductor manufacturing, rocket fuels, etc, but not for drinking. I realize that you simply used the SDS to show the dangers associated and that it is a HAZMAT, but being that it came up while you were talking about "the kinds of people who sell peroxides as medicine" I just wanted to note that we are emphatically *not* those people. The use of "Food grade" on the label should not be taken to mean that the chemical should be consumed, only that it can be used in food sanitation and production environments (Food grade sodium hydroxide is also sold and used for making pretzels, among other things, but consuming it in a concentrated form is highly dangerous and possibly deadly).

I get my peroxide at Walmart for less than a buck verses a 5- or 6-dollar bottle of Listerine. Sometimes If I eat spicey foods I get acid reflux it caused me to have mouth ulcers. Hydrogen Peroxide is a good antiseptic my ulcers are gone in a couple of days. I definitely would never drink Hydrogen peroxide.
