    I AM a doctor. I watch such videos from time to time, because I don't know everything. If at all possible, I download the videos instead of watching them streamed so that I can skip past the puffery and emotion-laden garbage and get to the good things. Usually, when I do, I encounter products for sale that are poorly supported by impartial scientific evidence. I type in the search bar of a trustworthy search engine (not Google) the name of the product then the word "scam" then see what shows up. Usually the products that are marketed with long puffery videos are scams.

      I'm not a doc, but I'm with you, brightwriter. I can't think of a single time I clicked on something interesting regarding "relief", "pain relief", "symptom relief", or anything else short of using the word "cures" (the same goes for political expose' click bait) that didn't lead into excruciatingly boring monologues of various duration (usually very long) that end with something like, "send a payment and all your questions will be answered - including the one you clicked for". I actually clicked on one - don't ask I don't remember which - that was taking quite some time (oh wow!! complete with testimonials!) so I got up and went to the kitchen to make a sandwich and when I got back the fool was still droning! No more!

      I agree that we have long been under-utilizing the power of search engines. Of course, finding a good one is nice, and after the disaster with DuckDuckGo, I'll always be pretty suspicious. The other problem is knowing what to believe from any of them.

      It can sure be scary out there!

      Listen, when you have a Podiatrist, Opthamologist, Urologist, Endocrinologist, Cardiologist, Plastic Surgeon, Dernatologist, and Gastroenterologist all on your 'Contacts' wouldn't you just say 'What the hell' and watch TV? And believe me if I don't check in with them they get jumpy. One thought I'd died and his staff was worried about him and when I finally showed up at his office he had tears in his eyes. I assured him he'd be the first person notified if I died. My daughter has instructions about that. Betcha none of your patients love you that much. I just call my urologist because we both sit on the Board of the International Women's Foundation and I see him quarterly (I don't need to go to his office). He refers me for tests and lab work. My Cardio who's been in my heart 3 times in the past 20 years sees me every 6 months. I have a busy schedule (no time for socializing). I am a writer and when I leave the house it's to see a doctor or go to the store. Well actually I like to eat out and visit my children. I hit t he Jack Pot on Son in Law and Daughter in Law. Both very special to me. Fun Huh? I will be 85 on April 7 and no one believes my age. Got a statement at the year end that my medical bills totalled $165,000 and I could care less. That is what we pay for, isn't it?

    In case any of you had Covid like me and are now experiencing dizziness, I will keep you all posted. I still say COVID was a Bioweapon released on us.

      Me dino says the same but my own conspiracy includes bad actors in the Deep State as participants.
      The timing was no accident either.
      The world was poisoned to fix an election because Orange Man bad for Obamanable bu$ine$$ as usual to line treasonous fat cat pockets and to achieve the globalist dream.
      That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

      Recovered from Covid early last month but I not only haven't had any lingering effects, neither has my husband, who has a few complications that could have done him in. He's 70; I'm 72, so there's that....but honest to goodness, I can't really say....but I really think IVM/Zinc did the trick for us. We started taking it the FIRST sign of his fever. And we had long term already been taking D and K2 and Zinc, etc. And although I never actually ran a fever, all the other signs were there, plus I did NOT sequester my husband. I knew I was going to get it, so I figured just as well get it from him....and so I did.

      I did have to laugh at the home test. No joke, the Covid line showed up before the Control line even got started. So, I don't think I was sick with something else. It was Covid for sure.

      Hope your dizziness symptoms get better! And I 100% believe it was a bioweapon. Plus, what allosaur says below. The Dems were just TOOO TOOOOOOO happy to push the scare and blame....

    In 30 minutes he never explained anything about unexpected dizziness. I cut him off. My doctor feels my low blood pressure is because I lost too much weight, too quickly and he failed to adjust my blood pressure meds. I believe him!

      Yeah, dizziness. I complained to my cardiologist about that, especially during anything physical, and he surmised my medication was too much, so he cut me down to half dose and things got a lot better. Not perfect, but better.

        I'm glad you aren't having any after effects. Stay healthy. It was five months before I started having problems.80% blockage in artery, continuing weight loss, hair thinning, now dizziness. It's been slow and sneaky.

    25n56i14, you have been through the wringer! I sure hope things improve this year. My hubby was in the hospital for five days with covid, then transferred to a rehab facility where he has been for over two months. For an 85 year old, he's doing really well and may be home in two weeks or so. Neither of us have vaxx, I didn't catch it from him don't know where he picked it up. He is having what the doc is calling covid brain fog. It comes and goes..
    Keep that attitude and life will continue to be interesting and challenging. It keeps us old farts moving! May you have as many years ahead as you want. :)
