Also, if shooting UV light into your blood (??? however they think this works)

I'm so glad you asked because I actually looked into it when a fuckin' idiot wouldn't shut up about it in the GBS thread

"Intravenous light therapy" was a fad in the 1940s that fell out of favour (much like a lot of fake medical treatments of the time) but recently made a comeback because gullible idiots will pay money for any old poo poo.

The growing interest in UBI caught the attention of Dr. Mark Crislip, an infectious-disease specialist in Portland, Ore., and president of the Society for Science-Based Medicine. He says he could find no valid research to support it, only anecdotes from many decades ago.

“The reason blood irradiation faded away is that it is fundamentally stupid, and it doesn’t work,” Crislip says.

There's two different ways they do it! They either pump the blood out of the body through a little UV machine and then back in, or they stick a one-way catheter into a vein and shine a UV light into it:


It's dumb as poo poo!!


There's also a whole heap of fake-rear end "UV therapy" devices you can buy online

I bet they're all really really effective at unraveling your DNA/RNA and giving you cancer

NYC right now I'm seeing like 50/50 masks or no masks. Weather was nice yesterday so just a shitload of people were out. Lots of car and foot traffic relative to the last few days.

Overall though it's been quiet. People are holing up. It's wild to me to think that all these apartments and buildings are occupied because people are basically hiding.

Brooklyn has probably been the worst both in terms of people staying in and in terms of cardiac arrest call volume but I haven't gotten a Manhattan post and I've heard it's even worse still.

Cardiac arrest calls are on sale right now though. Lots of people waking up dead.

So is this poo poo more of a heart/clotting disease with respiratory issues on the side or are we still seeing mostly "Grandma drowns in lungs" and the other poo poo is just reported more bc it's scarier

Lol, that is great, thank you for the effort post. I was trying to think of a way to somehow get pulses of light into the body that is as simple as possible, like through a lumen or something, and clearly I was putting way more thought into it than any of these people. Even then, I was way off, as that Aytu ad about the light therapy Cedars developed involves an endotracheal tube!

OK, so I've done extensive analysis of all the data and I've come up with a way of dramatically reducing fatalities - let's make every day a weekend! With just this simple change in place, I think we'll all be ready to open back up (unless you're closed on weekends..)!

It’s just insane since I see NO people with masks anywhere. Makes me feel and look insane like the guy from Gideon Falls.

Everyone in my town seemed to collectively decide to wear masks for 1 week and 1 week only. Cases are skyrocketing here but I guess a lot of people find the masks kinda annoying to wear so why even try?


Is this because lobsters are catching the roni?

I feel real loving bad for people with horror stories about benzos but people itt acting like there’s not a legitimate use and the only result is inescapable addiction could use a little perspective. My doctor prescribed them on an as needed basis for my PTSD last year. My alternative was a daily anxiety medication and all the side effects that come with that, like never being horny and feeling like a robot. Taking 1 or 2 Clonazepam a month instead of 30 Zoloft is a godsend. Being able to take something the moment I wake up in full PTSD freak out and have it work 15 minutes later is amazing. And if I don’t have a panic attack that month I don’t have to take anything, which is not how a daily med works. Again, I do feel bad for people hosed up on benzos but not 100% of people on benzos get hosed up on them and acting like nobody should ever take them and you get instantly addicted is some scaremongering silliness.

gonna quote this, because this is my exact story to. this whole covid thing broke my brain bad enough that I had a total meltdown and had to use a crisis hotline a month ago. the following day my dr gave me a script for clonazepam, and in the last month Ive maybe had to take 4 doses on really bad days. all the other days in the last month though, ive been pretty ok just knowing that I got a safety net if i lose it again.

poo poo probably saved my life, and i feel very comfortable knowing that I can safely decide when i need a pill and when i dont.
