00:00Take a good look at this man's arm, guys.
00:13His arm is made of rubber.
00:16It's kind of flexible.
00:20I think he's good at dancing.
00:22He's good at dancing.
00:24That video has gained more than 1.9 million views on TikTok.
00:28And it already got a lot of comments.
00:31That's dangerous.
00:33Because the blood vessels inside might get bombed.
00:36His arm was injured.
00:38Then it was left untreated, I think.
00:40I'm the one who's getting hurt.
00:43Oh no, AI videos.
00:46Huh?
00:48Is this an AI or Artificial Intelligence generated video?
00:52What do you think, guys?
00:54Let's go, let's go.
00:56We tried to find the man in the video.
00:59And we can now confirm.
01:01He's real, guys.
01:03He's not fake.
01:05He's not AI.
01:15Here in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan,
01:17we found the man in the video,
01:1932-year-old Julius.
01:21Julius is very active in his community.
01:25He's the only one who has that.
01:28Unique, rare.
01:30He's a good worker.
01:32I really idolize you now.
01:34What do you think, guys?
01:36Is Julius just flexible on purpose?
01:39As we grow older,
01:41we lose small amounts of flexibility.
01:43This is now part of the normal process of aging.
01:46What are you?
01:48What's that?
01:49I can't see what I'm reading right now.
01:52That's part of it, but it's all good.
01:55Our tissues lose water,
01:57which increases the stiffness in our joints.
02:00But the good news is,
02:02we can still do some exercises to help us maintain our flexibilities.
02:06Just like regular exercise,
02:09daily stretching,
02:11and by being properly hydrated.
02:15But Julius is not just flexible.
02:17We also learned that his flexibility
02:20is due to a tragedy.
02:28This happened in 2014.
02:31What happened?
02:35A boat.
02:37What do you do?
02:39We call it a tricycle.
02:41Julius was rushed to the hospital.
02:43Julius was hospitalized.
02:45This is a broken bone.
02:47I can still move.
02:49I can still move.
02:52Julius' arm was just cemented.
02:55But in the end,
02:57he was able to remove it due to excessive lifting.
03:00I lost all hope.
03:02It was like the end of the world.
03:04I was able to overcome the weight of the problem.
03:09But I was able to overcome it.
03:11Julius wanted to join our team to see the doctor.
03:15It's clean.
03:17I'm okay.
03:19It's just like normal.
03:22So, it's not painful?
03:24No.
03:26Even though Julius refused to join us,
03:28we still decided to show his video to an expert
03:32to better understand his condition.
03:35So, what's possible is
03:37there's a non-union.
03:40His humerus or bone in his arm.
03:43Non-union means the bone doesn't stick or move.
03:48This could have caused what's called pseudoarthrosis
03:53or the formation of a fake joint.
03:56Usually, in these cases,
03:58what we do is
04:00we remove the whole flesh
04:03in between the bone
04:04that prevents the healing of the bone.
04:08Then, we put an implant.
04:10Then, we put what we call a bone graft.
04:13It's like a bone from the other parts of the patient's bone.
04:19Then, we put it where there's a fracture
04:22to help with the healing of the bone.
04:25Let's go back to Julius' comment in the video.
04:28Some people say that it's possible that Julius has blood clots.
04:32Blood clots are one of the possible complications or fractures.
04:39But if it's been a long time,
04:41the blood vessels, the blood vessels
04:45can adapt to the injury.
04:48The question is, is Julius' condition life-threatening?
04:54No, at this point, I don't think this is a life-threatening condition.
05:00Nothing to worry about.
05:02Julius will show us
05:04that he can do both lifting and carrying.
05:07When he's carrying a basin of water,
05:11you'll notice that the muscles of Julius' neighbor are flexing.
05:17Now, Julius will carry it.
05:20Our body, for injuries, adapts
05:25whether it's a medicine or not.
05:27So, it will still have functions.
05:30There are functions that can be spared.
05:33But that won't be normal anymore.
05:36Maybe he won't be able to lift his arm like that
05:41or he won't be able to do certain activities like sports.
05:46Even though Julius has limitations in moving,
05:49his mantra is, life goes on.
05:51A proof that Julius' flexibility is not just physical.
05:55It's also a proof of the changes happening in his life.
