true story - 
my mom went to our local ER with abdominal pain - she is  93 years old - - 
they diagnosed her to have a cirrhosis of the liver and short t time to live. 
we were confused because earlier  that day she had been doing her heavy gardening tasks.... also the woman did not drink alcohol at all...
they insisted she could not be e saved too elderly & frail...
we knew she was made of steel - - just looked like a 93 year old......
we started googling & realized she was likely poisoned by tylenol because she'd been prescribed tylenol around the clock 2 weeks before.
we told the MDs... they were perplexed & insisted  no  she was in liver failure...
we then goggled the antidote and had to  insisted they get the head of ICU because the ER MD would not listen...
head of ICU agreed with us and save my mom.......
she recovered completely...
all doctors are not smart & some are ageists..... caution to elderly folks  - have advocates who ask a lot of questions - are analytical and google...

Awesome. I once saw a case of Atrial Fibrillation improved with antibiotics. The attending doc tought it was chronic, but the patient revealed that he had been treated for Lyme's. A quick call to the neurologist that had originally diagnosed him to confirm, and he was in  a IV Rocephin followed by Amoxil. The A-Fib vanished. I wonder how many cases of infectious endocarditis get misdiagnosed regularly as other, such as the usual suspects of alcohol, genetics, HTN, sleep apnea, obesity, etc. BTW, the patient seemed obese, but he had perfect BP; upon questioning, we found out he was a wrestler and kept  a heavy training regime. Visceral fat vs peripheral DOES make a difference. We learned NOT to asume things.

Fascinating case. What I love about it is that molecular tests were needed. At some point simply reading general signs and symptoms is not enough. That means molecular diagnostics must be included in the day-by-day practice of diagnosis. Even in apparently easy cases.

This info is revolutionary for food scientists. We always consider Listeria being a problem for YOPI (Young, Old (>65 years old), Pregnant and Immune compromised). We always consider Listeria is a self limiting disease causing some gastrointestinal discomfort in general population. Whereas, it causes meningitis in YOPI and may cause abortions in pregnant women. The guy in the story is only 55. I am totally worried about this incidence. Should we worry more about Listeria?

I ate cheese 5 minutes before my cardiac arrest and that one minute saved me

@stevelanghorn1407

Apart from unpasteurised dairy / cheese, it should be recognised that one of the commonest sources of Listeria these days are factory-packed sandwiches and the cold meats and salads within. Salad leaves are often implicatedā€¦and E.Coli can be another risk.

@margaretglaser6227

very very interesting    we live in France and thankfully these days they do not serve much fresh cheese   but there still is some around     so good to know this can happen    merci DR> Mike

Hello from San Antonio, Texas!! It HOT over here weather wise. Thanks for your videos, they are so helpful..

@emiriroussell7714

The ad I got before the video was for Borden cheese slices. Way too soon YT šŸ˜¢

@rileychadwell5635

And thus disdain for fermented foods continues, often missing the point that pasteurization is key.  Without fermented foods, vitamin K2 remains limited.

@barbaraschultz1442

Listeria is in the news with deli meat right now.  How would anybody know they are affected?  Tired, headache, they go to bed.  Not the hospital.  What do you check for?

As a young man in the 80's, in Thailand me and a friend went to a by Lonely Planet recommended restaurant in Chang Mai the night before he left to go elsewhere in Asia. My plan was to stay a few days and go home. For some reason we chose a vegetarian dish, maybe we didn't trust the meat? I can't recall. Anyway, what happened was that I got a fever that lasted for about 48 hours, where during that time I locked myself into a shower room at our hostel. A rather big room ment for several people/men, but this was out of season so there where hardly any other people there. I Lying on the floor there for around 12 hour with some water from the shower cooling me of and with a small spider as the only company. I slept most of the time and whenever I woke up The spider had moved, but one of the times when the room was spinning the spider looked huge as a cat. Maybe this was a dream or fever hallucination?

I havn't watched any of your videos since the Corona, but thanks for what you did then, I think you are a great guy.

I once had the bright idea to eat 24hr old rice with veggies, that had been left out in the hot kitchen (summertime). I was very hungry, tasted it, bit sour... dumped some pepper and spices on it and ate.... that was a bad afternoon!! I crawled outside, puking my guts out for hours, wishing i was dead to be done with it. Maybe i should have gone to the hospital, didn't even cross my mind... hours later i was better.

@pearlinecrews6826

Thanks for the warning.

@db5837

In a study involving over 40 countries, cheese was found to be one of the foods most associated with longevity.

@gurrrrlish

thank you for the education

@geoffreygriffiths1487

I live in Vancouver BC, salmon is a common BBQ meat. For a while it was popular to BBQ it on cedar planks. I had some at a BBQ and thought it was great until I started to get sick. I could not stop vomiting even after I had nothing to bring up, dry heaves are the worst. After that any cedar plank BBQed salmon caused me to gag. Thankfully it was not the salmon but the cedar that affected me. I know it was the cedar, because if I get a sliver from cedar while working with it, I get swelling and fluids from the location with in minutes of getting the sliver.

@5tr41ghtGuy

Fascinating case - thanks for making this video!  I'm glad the patient is OK. Listeria seems to be really, really bad for humans.

@aliceinwonderland7594

yes, been there with 'other people's' meals. I cook my own meals as  a well trained chef and rather eat simple Mediterranean style cuisine that my ancestors grew up on. No doubt much of the current issues are directly related to 'what one eats', nourishment is my primary focus. Brilliant video, very well presented.

@terryroberts7647

Hi Dr. Hansen good see you pal been while since see you hope all is ok great video
