Extreme Cheapskates is another one of these TLC shows that highlights extreme lifestyles for views... and it works. Clips from this show documenting the lives of people who save money any way they can have gone mega viral on KZread, and it turns out a lot of them are pretty medical. Today I look at women who dumpster dive for medicine and food, a man who risks his life enrolling in countless medical studies to stop his heart and harvest his testicles, a man who sleeps on packing peanuts, and a woman who cooks her lasagna in the dish washer. Let me know down below if there are more scenes I should react to in the future.

    I went into anaphylaxis at 19 and ended up unconscious on the floor of my bathroom. My boyfriend at the time gave me my EPI pen, which was 2 years expired because they were $600 for a box of 2 and I couldn't afford new ones. It brought be back, but barely and I ended up getting another from the paramedics who were able to get there in about 2 minutes.

    I doubt any of that was actually real. If she was actually a cheapskate she’d be washing her dishes in the sink and not using a dishwasher at all. If this is what she does every time then why would they be surprised by the food? There’s also nothing about the rest of her lifestyle shown that indicates she’s particularly concerned about money.

    I’m Native American. We eat and have eaten clover and dandelions for many years. They are safe to eat in their natural form. The danger of getting them in the wild is that someone could have sprayed a pesticide or herbicide on them that you don’t know about. For our traditional foods we usually grow these in our own gardens. There are many plants that are safe and have good nutritional value that are not typically eaten in a European diet. The important thing is that they’re grown safely and not with unsafe chemicals sprayed on them.

It was actually imported here by Europeans because every part was useful (except maybe the stems, I have no idea about those). The flowers for tea, wine, and jelly; the leaves for salad greens; and the roots can be cooked like parsnips or ground up and used as a coffee replacement (if you squint really hard and plug your nose.

    I think it really depends on what you take. I've never been dumpster diving myself but I wouldn't have any issues diving for fruit and veg. When I worked in a supermarket we would throw away so much fruit that was perfectly edible. I often threw away 2 kg nets of oranges and boxes of kiwis where only one fruit had gone bad. I think anything that doesn't need refrigeration and can be properly cleaned (or in sealed packaging) is probably fine.

    Our store used to have boxes of old produce people could take "for animal use" but they stopped doing it due to lawsuit concerns that people could eat it(of course they were) and sue if there was an issue. At least they will mark down meat when it gets old and near exiprey to have less meat be wasted. Sometimes you can make a deal for old produce or meat for animal use with a store. You'd sign a contract that it's for animals only and not to be given away BUT this is usually just for larger sanctuaries and such because they want you to take a lot rather than them just saving you some of the waste.

But also, even at the Amish butcher where I live, everything is pre sliced and everything but it can sit in the display case for a few days before being sold... but that's rare. And they never fill the display trays they pull from. When they do "refill" them, it's never more than half. If someone wants an item they're out of, they'll slice on demand and then add some to the display tray.

The main problem I see with the roadkill family, besides the obvious gross factor of eating roadkill, is that they're gathering their plants right there on the roadside.

    FYI Every part of a dandelion is completely edible, and it's not at all weird to eat them. When the leaves are newly grown they're quite nice in salads or sandwiches (they become more bitter as they age), and they have a similar nutritional profile to spinach or other dark leafy greens. The flowers are a bit sweet and their nectar contains proteins. The roots may have some medicinal value, though more study is needed. Clovers are also completely edible, I used to eat the flowers as a kid because they're full of nectar which is sweet. That being said, I would NEVER get them off the side of the road like that family did. You have no idea what kinds of pesticides they could be coated with, if they're pulling up contaminates from the soil, not to mention the heavy load of pollutants coming from vehicle exhaust. It's insanely irresponsible, especially when you can easily grow these plants in containers or in your yard. It's also a bit scary to think they're butchering road kill. Rabies and prion diseases could be huge risks depending on where they live and what they're butchering/eating. I hope they're being safe about it, but something tells me they're not...

    Dandelion root and chicory root have a fiber called inulin, which is really good for the intestines (health-wise). Also there have been some positive animal studies in helping fight colon cancer. However... kale (and I think dandelion too) is a chelator. If grown in good soil low in heavy metals, then it can assist in heavy metal removal from the body, but if grown in an area with heavy metals, lead, and other pollutants, well, it has an affinity to soak those things up so probably a bad idea.

    I work at a high end grocery store in a major city in the US and we regularly have to pull products off of the shelf because they tested positive for possible contaminants and they’ve been recalled. It happens WAY more often than you’d think. We’re usually ordered to “destroy” the product which means we throw it in the dumpster. So…eating food from a dumpster can actually be really unsafe. Also, you don’t even want to know what else is thrown into a dumpster at a grocery store. Especially in a big city where people don’t actually go to the bathroom in the bathroom. True story, happened last week. Trust me…dumpster diving at a grocery store is ill advised.

    That's wonderful to hear! But just two cents from a stranger: use Dr. Mike as a benchmark for what a good doctor is like, and if the doctor you are seeing is too far off, run the other way! It's still best to be careful and not completely trust a doctor right away. I only say this because I think it's easy for bad doctors to steamroller over people who are intimidated by medical visits (for any given reason), when the patient might actually have alarms going off, or questions they would normally ask but feel too uncomfortable to ask when actually at their appointment. This might even apply to good doctors who might just be people who communicate in a way that doesn't click with you. Things just get sensitive when it's something as personal as your health, so I think it's important to "shop around" for a doctor IF POSSIBLE.

I went a bit "off the wall" when he said he "couldn't begin to guess the nutritional content of a dandelion" BECAUSE... just because it contains natural green chlorophyll, that should AUTOMATICALLY tell ANYONE who remembers "basic biology" that means it CONTAINS MAGNESIUM. Because, (this is something even in many biology textbooks) ... if you look up "chlorophyll molecule images", in EVERY legitimate schematic of that green chlorophyll molecule, you'll see an "Mg" right in the middle of it (which represents magnesium). That is why they say "magnesium is found in dark green leafy veggies". And dandelions are one of those which we can see with our own eyes because it's a naturally green plant. On top of that, any plant is going to ALSO contain FIBER because that is a component of ALL plant cell walls.

But my thing is you go on these shows and they tell you to do things you wouldn't usually do but you still go through with it so I'd say I feel sorry and it's their fault uh I'd say like 70/30

    what's really sad is how much is faked in that show and it severely harms the people who agree to come on the show. The second woman shown was severely bullied online after the show. People came after not only her lifestyle (WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DRAMATIZED FOR THE SHOW) but also her appearance and she came to genuinely believe the comments about her looks which is crazy cause she's beautiful.

    So true. I often take allergy meds and I thought to buy the one on sale because it expires the same month. Turns out, I end up needing more to battle the allergies. I just ended up buying regular ones.

    I recently heard from the ny lady said the producers made her follow a script that made here seem way more out there then she’s actually is. And that the show was quite damaging to her.

    The dishwasher lasagna one is just nasty! The dishwasher uses high pressure jets that will definitely find their way into the food and bring detergent with them, and it doesn’t get hot enough for long enough. I don’t think that woman has ever cooked a lasagna in her life. In fact, she may have just made up that recipe on the fly to get on a sensationalist TV show.

    3:59 cutting corners can be very good for a healthy diet when it comes go processed food. Example: I buy plain pea protein powder and rice protein powder without any additives. No thickeners, sweeteners,…. It‘s healthier, costs 2/3 less, mixed together 50/50 it‘s as good as egg protein and is way more flexible in use than flavored shakes. You can cook/ bake with it better an can add every flavor you want to the shakes.
