World Records Even Doctors Can't Explain

  • I loved reading the Guinness World Records books as a kid, and now I'm taking a look at them through a medical lens. I couldn't believe some of the things I saw in this video. We talked about the world's tallest man, the largest mouth gape, the shortest woman, the most joints cracked consecutively, the thinnest waist, highest and lowest notes ever sang, the oldest woman, the longest plank, longest nose, and most cups stuck to a head, among other things! Which did you find the most incredible?

    I don't think many people know this, but the man that planked for 9 and a half hours has a condition that causes him to feel pain from even the tiniest of actions. Yet he still went on to break the record. He is a living testament to the idea of willpower.

    My grandpa (who sadly I never got to meet as he died way too young) always said he could smell when people had certain types of cancer, and he was never wrong according to my family. I was always sceptical, but after seeing this episode and learning dogs can smell it as well, i might think he could. He saved some peoples lives with it by telling they should go see their doctor. I wonder if there are studies going on about people who can smell these kinds of things, they can really be the person to save someone

    • @goblinrat6119
      @goblinrat6119 Před 8 měsíci +20

      Dogs can actually smell a whole range of different diseases on a person. This is because their sense of smell is tens of thousands of times stronger than a human's (going by the sheer number of receptors and their functionality). If a person was able to actually smell the internal changes of these diseases, they'd also basically be able to track others by scent like a dog, tell who was in a house possibly days earlier, and other similar feats. So it's likely not that his sense of smell was actually like a dog's. However, it is possible that he might have had a particularly keen sense of smell for a human, which could be enough to detect symptoms caused by certain forms of cancer, like for example infections in the body.
      Anecdotally, people have reported various (but often particular to their own case) smells coinciding with their cancer, but it's very hard to say anything definitive about these situations, since modern science has not really found anything that would explain a human being able to smell these things, and there is very little consistency in such cases. So while it's never good to just say that something is categorically impossible, at the moment it's also very hard to find anything to research. Presumably, if there are people who can consistently smell cancer, they are incredibly rare or potentially totally unique.
      (Cancer treatments do often cause a notable and distinct smell on a person, so it is much more feasible for someone to be able to detect when a person is undergoing chemo etc, but that is of course quite a different thing.)
      On that note, there is ongoing research into using dogs for this purpose. Being that they are highly trainable and have shown to be able to consistently indicate people with cancer with training (similar to how you'd train a drug detection dog for example), it does seem that that, at least, could be highly usable.

From a hang position, you pull your chin to the bar then pull your body under the bar while lifting your legs over the bar, performing a backward circle. I once had a 7 year old little girl do 70 without getting down or getting off the bar. She did rest on top of the bar for a few seconds in between. I then timed her to see how many she could do in 30 seconds. She did 9, which was more than anyone else. She can also climb a 20 foot rope with no legs/ feet (just her arms) in under 20 seconds.

      1. As you mentioned: 9 montgs vs. many years

      3. And the organs are moving in a different direction when she uses corsets

      @@SaheeliRai Also, I'm not sure there is less to or similar organ movement compared to pregnancy. Standard corsetry (shaping, not reducing) and moderate waist training have light-to moderate effects that can still let your physiology function and return to normal, especially if doing it for about half your waking hours.
      With a waist that small I'm genuinely concerned, though.
      In any ways, she has the support of a medical professional and is (apparently) currently healthy, so all the power to her.
      Also, let's remember that pregnancy does a number on a woman's body, it's not "fine and nothing special happening", even without taking account of the hormonal aspect. It's a 9-month long hassle leading to profound changes afterwards.
      Corsetry isn't the mother of all sins, but it's still something you should be educated about before introducing it in your life, and I HOPE no one saw this woman and jumped into waist training afterwards without learning or care about what they were about to put their body through.

    6:05 did you know that in the old times, they used to torture people by fulling their limbs apart and all the muscles and skin just rip off?
    If not then now you know.

      Some regions called it "quartering", where their limbs were tied up to horses, and pulled apart. Legend has it, that one guy in Medieval China had a p@n*s so big, they needed a 5th horse to do the quartering work.

    The world's tallest man was Robert Wadlow who stood at a mind-blowing height of 8ft 11 inches (2.72 metres). This was due to a hypertrophic pituitary gland which led to abnormal levels of HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Unfortunately, he died at the young age of 22 in 1940. At the time of death he weighed 199 kg.
