I really struggle to read posts without basic punctuation. But based on keywords, I think I understand what they're trying to say.
And some of the things they say imply English is their native.language and they're educated, so I'm not sure why their literacy is so low, if not pure laziness.
Using vibrators to cure hysteria is news to me, as is the green paint having arsenic in it.
I am curious, did the doctors themselves dole out the hysteria treatment?
I didn't know they had vibrators in the Victorian era, what was that late 1800's right? They did have batteries, they could make a wind up sort of thing too.
1883 was the year Joseph Mortimer Granville the "father of the modern elctromechanical vibrator" wrote a book about it.
These early vibrators became popular among the medical profession and were used for treating a wide variety of ailments in women and men, including hysteria, arthritis, constipation, amenorrhea, inflammations, and tumors; some wounded World War I soldiers received vibrotherapy as treatment at English and French hospitals in Serbia.

False.
The green wallpaper contained arsenic, not lead.

I also believe mercury was a makeup ingredient too

The YouTuber was Bernadette Banner, it's a very interesting video actually. And yes, she does indeed get tipsy from the ethanol fumes.

Ancient China had vibrators at least as early as the Ming Dynasty. IIRC it was a reaction between gold and mercury that would make the ball shake.
