I was playing solitaire on my Kindle last night & an ad played for Ionic Foot DeTox. It was the grossest thing ever, people's feet seeming to soak in sewage. The premise of this scam is that these are toxins drawn from your body by this electromagnetic pulse in the water.
Well, whatever toxins may be in my body, I doubt they will look like fecal soup, so I did a bit of googling. The tub is made of material that reacts with the electromagnetic pulse releasing "grossitude" into the water even if there is nothing in the tub.
It is, of course, a complete scam, one that succeeds by looking completely disgusting and foul. Someone how, though, I think the people who would do an ionic foot detox and use ivermectin and not get vaccinated are all the same people.
Seriously, what would make anyone want to do this with their feet?

The photos of the Border Patrol's abusive behavior reveal a problem that must be addressed immediately. The problem is not the photos, the problem is the behavior. Not only should it be condemned, but the officers should also be disciplined. I hope they're fired in spite of union
But let's not pretend the Border Patrol has ever been anything but out of control qz.com/1734240/crimin…
Anyone who thinks the media isn't racist just needs to compare the coverage of the tragic death of Gabby Petito to the many missing and murdered Black and Indigenous women in America. I mean, we could just stick to Florida
and it would still be shameful.
These are cold cases someone has collected. Just imagine if they were pursued with widespread national attention pinterest.com/coldcasemissin…
These are missing and murdered Indigenous women. How often has the media created a firestorm to search for one of them?
The media seems to think they must be inviolate from criticism from the left, yet bend to criticism from the right as though it is dictum. This is frustrating since it creates at atmosphere of false equivalency and double standards that is harmful to democracy.
For example, the evacuation of Afghanistan continues to be presented as a failure and a betrayal, but what about the Kurds? Much is made of decommissioned planes that could be repaired in Afghanistan & nothing of entire bases left to be occupied by ISIS & Russia in Syria.
That's just one thing. It's not all. Biden's small drop in polling is a "disaster" while Trump never topped 50% & is presented as some media maven.
The media has still to interview those of us who voted for the popular vote winner only to have the losing candidate foisted on us
Who is interested in tracking sexual predators in education? It's enough for me to do politicians, but really - education and law enforcement are rife and need some tracking. carsonnow.org/story/06/11/20…
I discovered I have another Anti-Vax niece. She never posts about politics, doesn't forward any shit. She talks about her kids and her horses. She rescues horses. She is not anti-mask as her pics show her and her son in masks. But she just posted she's afraid they won't waive
the requirement so she may need to find another job. The thing is, she knows COVID is real. She's had it. But this is how this shit spread. Her son's wife has always been anti-vax. Both of her siblings have Down's Syndrome. She wants a reason for it
She wants to be sure she has neurotypical kids (and she does, my great-nephew and her have three kids) but she bet on avoiding vaccines to protect her kids from cognitive disabilities long before COVID.
I cannot find the NYTimes piece. One of their folks interviewed a bunch of people, including Democrats, all expressing relief that Bush was president - because the GOP would not unite with Gore the way Dems did with Bush. Gore gave a speech saying Bush was his president..
