What about the guy who tested cocaine on himself by injecting it. He ended up discovering the lethal dosage and wrote down all the side effects as the different stages occurred as things progressed.. It's random but it seemed relevant to this topic

Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Here there are giants. We all are better due to the guile of these people. My personal favorite is Werner Forssmann. In 1929, as a surgical registrar, he performed the first fluoroscopic vascular catheterization on himself, paving the way for a mainstay of medical technology today. He did it despite being told not to and after he did, he had to fend off another registrar who tried to pull it out before he could get the xray proof.

How about the fellow who first synthesized LSD? And took what he thought would be a very tiny amount.

So, wait, the guy finds a direct method of improving anemia and the scientific community goes "Yuck!" and comes up with a brute force approach without researching further?

it's mindblowing how much progress there was within the past 500 years, also nice video. respect to people who sacrificed themselves for science, to this day there are human experiments, just nowadays those humans get paid for it, at least in western countries

how about the researcher in the 1980s who injected himself with the lipoprotein made by the Lyme bacteria, to see how inflammatory it was (answer, one of the most inflammatory substance made by a bacteria and it took 72hrs for the body to begin breaking it down)

This is the first icky video I've seen of yours, and I happened to watch it as dinner was cooking. Oh well I'm ok, although I have had symptoms for awhile of those worms in the last segment. Worms anyone?? 😄😄

Dr. Ben Miles, I have been in pursuit of my own answers due consistent medically established paradigm. I hypothesize. I have a plant parasite that's been growing in me for 26 years, I only recently discovered it in a CT scan I ran through a 3D program. Its morphology fits that of a plant, and its tendency to completely encapsulate all major veins, such my vena cava -subclavian, most likely for Co2, and after 17 omitting doctors in 2yrs, I had to figure this out myself, only as a matter of utter desperation to determine the source of extreme symptoms, some of which are gross contradictions of normal physiology. Come check me out to see my pet parasite to know more.

If a doctor is not willing to take his own advice, then how can I believe in what he is saying to do?

Here's a question that might be an idea for a video If light takes about 8 minutes to reach us from the sun, then light from the opposite side of our orbit should take about 16 minutes, how come we don't see earth as a streak of light (although feint) following us around the orbit Also, what is the possibility that another galaxy is just our galaxy from millions of years ago, what if all galaxies are ours in many stages, so just one galaxy in the universe How's that for a thought experiment ? 🤣
