She Taught Me What Most Americans Will Never Learn

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]So, let's get started. She's about to show me the weirdest plant medicines that she has right here in the Amazon jungle. Look at this view. Okay, what's the first medicine?

[00:00:26]>> Is this homemade shampoo or like homemade body wash? So, I have to translate what she said exactly, but I think I understood about 90%. And I guess no I don't really want to, but just for you guys, at the very end of the video, she's about to hit me with a type of stinging nettle down here that apparently is really good for your body, but I don't know if I believe that. It's about to be so painful, dude. Okay, right now she's leading me to the next spot. I'm not really sure where we're going here. Let me show you kind of This is their Amazonian backyard, dude. This is in their village. Their house is way over there and they have a bunch of crops over there. So, uh yeah, this is pretty cool. I won't lie. This is just normal for them, right? It's just normal to be in that crazy beautiful view and the Amazon with a machete in your hand.

[00:01:34]You know, it's like people here are born practically with a machete in their hand. I've seen kids who are like four, five years old have machetes.

[00:01:52]I guess we're going a little bit deeper in. Dude, look how crazy difference this is. Right. So, in here it's very, very dark versus compared to outside.

[00:02:00]Outside, inside very, very dark. I don't know if you guys can really tell. Yeah. Look, look how dark this is. It's almost like it's getting to be nighttime versus out there it's, you know, pure daylight. is because the Amazon jungle canopies are super super super thick.

[00:02:21]>> Okay.

[00:02:23]Is this um what is this called? Before I keep talking, I'm just going to let her chop away at this. I don't even know what she's doing here.

[00:02:37]>> I guess this is tua. It's a big spiky little nut here.

[00:02:55]that means.

[00:02:57]>> Oh, see.

[00:02:59]>> Oh, there. Oh, it's like slime.

[00:03:02]>> It is like gelatin.

[00:03:07]Oh, yes. There. It's like a nut that has water in it, but not like a It's not like normal water.

[00:03:20]Imagine drinking mucus or imagine drinking slime. If you guys have cooked hair, you can use Amazonian jungle secret.

[00:03:30]Slimy snot mucus.

[00:03:35]Tastes like coconut water.

[00:03:39]This is identical to a coconut, but it's a different type of nut. Here I have the perfect shot to get graing in my pocket. Wait, hold on. Hello.

[00:03:56]Hello. Wait. It's my first ever YouTube sponsor, Zach Do, which is going to help me pay for a bunch of my diapers. So, this part of the video is sponsored by Zukdock. One thing that I've realized traveling between Ecuador and the United States is how easy it is to put off doctor appointments, which sometimes is not even the appointment itself. It's mainly just having to deal with the doctors who transfer you around, like the hospitals you call. They put you on wait for a few hours. I mean, who wants that? That's why you should use Zach Do.

[00:04:25]It's basically a super super easy way to find and locate doctors in your local area that will book you almost instantly. Before even booking the appointment, you can see all the reviews of the actual patients who've used those doctors. And you're actually able to see the appointment bookings beforehand of what times they're available.

[00:04:40]Appointments can even happen in the same day. They have 150,000 providers across 200 plus specialties. And the best part, it's free to use. My friends actually told me they use ZDO. So I'm like, "Okay, let's do this sponsor." They told me that they've been using it for like five plus years. I'm not even joking. So if you've been putting off appointments or just need to find one, this is your sign. Even just clicking the link below is taking a step towards your health. So taking care of your health just got easier. So, go to my link in my description, check that appointment off of your to-do list. Let's get back to the video.

[00:05:25]Most of the schwar tribe is actually being more modernized. I'm in the part of the, you know, eastern Amazon where they're not as modernized. They still have cell phones. Granted, the older people don't. The younger people barely do. Like whenever I first met her, she had like a $20 cell phone. And I'm not even exaggerating. She used it literally just to call people. Like I can call people from across the town, across, you know, I can call my family that made it to the city or something like that, you know. So that must be magic, dude. All right, so here's their little peanut field. And I guess let's eat some wild peanuts as a little snack. Also, I'm about to catch this dude off guard. He always copy and paste my videos to Tik Tok. If you see the account Justin Alvo FC and has like a blurry profile picture of me, he has like 50,000 followers, something like that. He's kind of popping. But um unfollow that guy and report him. dude is like asking people for money and like scamming. So I'm like, dude, I did I reported on Tik Tok or I did literally everything. Copyright infringement. Can't do anything. My the only real account I have is Justin Albo on YouTube or Justin Alvo or the Justin Albo on Tik Tok. One of my followers told me they donated $200 for the indigenous tribe. But to that dude and that dude scammed them, the karma's coming for you, bro. I promise you.

[00:06:40]Let's get back to talking about the medicines.

[00:06:47]I think that never eat the street food here in the Amazon. It's pretty sketchy.

[00:06:51]They don't wash your hands.

[00:06:55]>> Okay. Yeah.

[00:07:01]I don't want to do it.

[00:07:07]Just speechless. Just speechless.

[00:07:25]plant.

[00:07:26]>> And every single thing that's shown here, I'm going to put it up in like the corner always.

[00:07:34]>> Oh gosh. All right.

[00:07:39]Okay.

[00:07:57]It's like stuck in my mouth. It is. That tastes like very bad. The more bitter the medicine, the more alkaloids it is.

[00:08:04]I guess I'm not a scientist guy, but let me know down in the comments how that works.

[00:08:19]Mhm.

[00:09:04]medicine.

[00:09:20]Oh, I think she showed me that in one of my videos.

[00:09:26]>> It's as spicy as ginger, but doesn't have like that ginger smell, which I like ginger, but that smells like like a jalapeno almost like a pepper. Got to wade through all of this. We're at the neighbor's house right now.

[00:09:49]So that right there. Oh, that is kumbia right there. It's like a like a spiderweb squash looking thing.

[00:10:09]Albaka.

[00:10:10]>> Albaka.

[00:10:11]>> Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

[00:10:13]So, we're at the neighbor's house. Can't show much here, but ginger. This is ginger. I knew it. So, the other one was not ginger, but this is ginger for sure. This is going to be like one of those like ginger power shots have like, you know, 20 different like medicines in there like you buy at the store or like the, you know, like the gas station. So, that's going to be a little It's going to taste pretty iffy. I'm probably going to need it for all the Ortiga that's going to be slapped against my back.

[00:10:49]>> Oh yeah, this is going to be an interesting one. I won't lie. Now, time to put that bad boy in the campfire for what everyone's been waiting for. The thing that I do not want to do. Let's go get some Mortiga. Dude, you know it's Ortiga when it has these little spiky bumps on them.

[00:11:03]No one wants to touch them here. that that's how you know it hurts really bad is if they don't want to touch it and if they're carrying it by the machete and by their fingertips, that's how you know it's really bad. All right, so that is why this hurts so bad is there's thousands and thousands of these little spines on this leaf. Each of those little spines has chemicals and those chemicals get into your skin and they're an irritant and they HURT REALLY BAD.

[00:11:24]AH, SHE JUST HIT me on the back through my clothes and that hurt, dude. Ouch.

[00:11:28]And it itches really bad. I'm going to show you guys the aftermath.

[00:11:32]>> Want me to take off my shirt? So, let's take Itches, dude.

[00:11:58]>> It's like thousands of little tiny needles. Watch. It's not going to look bad. Ow. I mean, it's not. I can't even think right now.

[00:12:06]I'm not like crying and pain on the ground, but you're about to see what this looks like here in like 10 minutes, DUDE.

[00:12:18]>> All right, let's go check on that other thing. Let's just see and wait what this looks like. Of course, I bet you've seen the intro. My back is going to be completely destroyed if you've seen the intro and stayed around this long to watch the entire video. Let's go check on our remedy over there.

[00:12:39]Ginger makes it like sweetness and like one other plant that's like kind of bitter.

[00:12:46]Let's try.

[00:12:52]>> That's delicious, dude. Why is that actually good? You know, like those like ginger shots that you drink, you like have to power through it because they're so gross. That is delicious.

[00:13:01]>> Italian drink. No sugar either. No sugar.

[00:13:04]>> It's just the allnatural plants.

[00:13:12]>> That is fantastic. That's good. That's like a nine out of 10.

[00:13:18]>> I'm going to get rid of the camera to record, but let's check this out.

[00:13:28]See?

[00:13:30]>> So, this is what the final product looks like. See, it doesn't look bad, but it it's a really really strong irritant to your skin. And apparently what they tell you is that it I don't know. It has some health benefits. I don't know. I'm not sure what health benefits. Arthritis, whatever, right? But apparently, it's supposed to help you. I think really it's just the adrenaline and the pain causes you to have like a temporary like you know >> Yeah. It's like a cup of coffee, dude.

[00:13:58]It's like a cup of coffee. Get all hyped up or sick.

[00:14:04]>> See, that's not bad. Everyone should at least try that once just for like, you know, why not, right? So, let me know guys, if you came to the Amazon, would you try this? Would you try the steaming nettle? Would you try this? I won't lie, I can't do tours here because this village is not like a tour village. I never came here to the Amazon to like the tourist places because that's super unauthentic. They genuinely just put on their face paint and go out and do the little like ritual or whatever for the tourists and then go back home and put on their normal regular clothes. It's different here because this is an actual like real tribe in the middle of Bucktooth nowhere. Like look amazing, beautiful here. But if you guys ever have the possibility to experience something authentic, even touristy, why not come down to the Amazon, you will not regret it. This is the best in the entire world.
