I remember that a few people in the comments of the original video stated that Zach pretty much had Peripheral Edema/lymphedema. Basically, stress on his back and knees from military life and all the chemicals he was around _did_ fuck up the lymph nodes in his leg but the doctors in Germany did a shit job at explaining it to him properly.
@@CinesterCharliethe funny but also horrible thing is the treatment for that ACTUALLY IS chemotherapy and removal of the lymph nodes THEY JUST DIDNT EXPLAIN ANYTHING
This reminds me of a story of one of my cousins that joined the army. One of my cousins that is 11 years older than me joined the army as a data analyst but really it was the guy that made sure documents got to the right department. He is the only person in my family that never had a weight problem or skin problem. In his second year in the military he started to gain weight. He was always physically fit and did extra exercises to keep his six pack. By year 3 he was 20 pounds overweight and started to have skin issues. By year 4 he was 60 pounds and had constant skin issues but none that hurt him but would gross people out. By year 5 he was 85 pounds overweight and on all these antibiotics, steroids, and other drugs. The army thought it was either stress or a virus he contracted and never seemed to leave. Mind you he purposely did extra exercises and started to eat less just to combat his weight gain. In the middle of year 5 the army was going to discharge him on medical grounds. He was going to do it until he find met with a nutritionist. She basically said either take specific medication that the military doesn’t like to pay for because of how expensive or be transferred to Germany. He was transferred to Germany 2 weeks later. His first week of Germany nothing happened until he got an accommodation to eat only food from Germany and nothing made in America. He lost 50 pounds at the end of the first week eating German food. By the end of the first month he lost all the weight he gained in the military and even lost an extra 15 pounds. At the beginning of month 2 he was taken off of all the medications he was on. By week 2 of month 2 he got his six pack back and his skin cleared up completely. He became the healthiest person on base and served the rest of his service in Germany, he even learned the language. Once he got to America he started to go through similar symptoms again. He tried to move back to Germany and is currently on a long waiting list. Once he got back to America he found out I was going through similar situations. Luckily there was a delivery company that skipped food from Germany. It was expensive but worth the money. I lost 75 pounds, started to gain muscle and all my skin issues since puberty stopped. I was in perfect health for 5 years eating at least 2 meals a day from Germany every day. Than the pandemic happened, I lost muscle mass gain 60 pounds and got my skin issues back. The FDA during the pandemic also admitted food programs from outside America to be dangerous. Right now I am trying to get a trip to Germany to get back on the program with extra steps. So there is about 20 ingredients I am allergic to but in America it doesn’t have to be on the ingredients list if the ingredients are less than 100th of a gram or less. And if the ingredients are not known to have harmful affects with a hundred parts per thousand. Basically I have to eat organic to a specific extreme to not get possible diabetes and select skin issues. These 20 ingredients are outlawed in every country but America, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
@@CinesterCharlie Haven't seen Will in a while, he may have did a tour or two lol My brother served in the Army. He doesn't have major issues but he has a lot of problems with the VA. He just keeps going after then and he eventually gets what he needs, even if it takes forever Does the VA take over when it comes to the paperwork for disability? You may have slipped through the cracks with the VA. We don't need you doing the same in this community. I'm not always around but I will always reply to you as soon as I see something from you. I'll even do it...... Even though you love anime, anime boy lol
The VA is always difficult to deal with. It took me years and a trip to the ER to get what I deserved. When was the last good western cartoon to come out? That's why I watch anime lol.

Yeah, VA and military doctors are terrible. Very low effort most of the time.

That was a hell of a read lol. It does suck that you can't eat what you want though.
That guy telling the story sounded like Will Ferrell.
Hope you're doing alright out there bro
It might be Will Ferrell. When's the last time you've seen him? Thanks man. I really appreciate it.
