I thought so too. We as users are already marketing data goldmines. Observed (tracked) user behavior is one thing. Manipulation via retail catfishing? I can see dollar signs replacing their eyeballs while they float toward a pile of cash!

I think about this all the time! The benefits of accessibility aren’t even limited to just disabled people. But indeed, people would much rather be ash holes.

I can’t make myself go there but a Facebook group for HOCl fans does exist if you’re so inclined: www.facebook.com/groups/18340...

So what I did was get a small hydrolysis thingie that’s for travel, so I could test it out. I haven’t needed to get anything bigger. I got this one: Ecoloxtech Micro, Portable... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CK8P6XK... pH strips, and some opaque spray bottles.

Just one note about it: there are a few companies that sell proprietary machines and “pods” to make at home, they are generally overpriced and a little cult-y, and the pods are just vinegar and salt. Reddit has tons of good info.

I just started making and using this. I am 💯 a convert. It works so well! It is quite the rabbit hole. I found this piece was a good explainer: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

It was one month, my friends. ONE MONTH and we are in the “my body your choice” era.

Hey you’ll never guess what… it’s a month later, another cardiologist appointment and still no improvement from last month. I just want to leave my house without having a babysitter in case I fall (again and again).

Will get “lost” and then denied, and then lost again. So this is how we torture people who need to use the benefits they pay for. As usual the cruelty is the point, but damn it, we all gotta do a gfm to get our basic care needs now? For truly we are already in hell. /9 end

So what-what-what does a person need to have happen, what preventable disaster must befall me, before I can beg my insurance for the privilege of being repeatedly denied? Ofc no doc wants to write a scrip for something that is a sentence to months of writing and rewriting authorizations that 8/

I’m the only one who will acknowledge that there’s been either a decline in function or efficacy of treatment.

Don’t ask if it’s time for something to help me get out of bed and out of my house though. Why would anyone “enable” that? 7/

And they act like I’m the one who’s given up here, as if I want to spend my days waiting for one of them to do their damn job and not just keep cashing my checks.

Meanwhile I can’t reliably drive myself to appointments. I can’t feed myself. I can’t bathe without supervision. And somehow… 6/

But—dare to ask for something as simple as renewing an already permanent disabled placard, which I’ve had again, for a decade, and it’s like I’ve activated some sleep agent.

All the sudden zombie doctor is forcefully arguing against something that is so unnecessary as a mobility device?? 5/

And when I ask for thoughts, treatment plans, anything at all to ease this ridiculous increase in symptoms… it’s like there’s a glitch in the matrix. It’s just blank, or a recitation of the same old advice that isn’t working, hasn’t worked, and is why I dragged myself in to darken their doors 4/

On the regular since June and dutifully record my vitals, cluck at how unstable they are, and send me on my way. Even specialists who I’ve seen for a decade or more look like they are moving through pudding.

They open their little computers and record how not-normal and very-not-good I am 3/

I do and have done for years, well before the pandemic. #postviral #autoimmune lifestyle, babes. Now I’ve added on 1-2x weekly IV fluids, and upped dosage on the beta blockers and midodrine on repeat.

I’m followed by cardiology, and a bakers dozen other specialists, all who have seen me 2/

When I get a flare up it’s what goes through my head anyway 🤣 “Oh my god it’s back again.”

Do I sing this to the Backstreet Boys? If so, rock your body right, my friend. Rock your body right.
