John Oliver on Coronavirus

Silver actually IS useful as an anti-bacterial. Apparently Alex is banking on the fact that his audience is too dumb to know the difference between a bacteria & a virus.

My friend manages a supplement shop. She says anything with silver is sold out across the entire company.

Unless you have a specific health problem, supplements are a waste of time. Anything approaching even a vaguely reasonable diet will give your body everything it needs.

It's a massive pointless industry worth billions of dollars built on human anxiety rather than medical evidence. Probably best not to mention that to your friend...

[Seshmeister]

Didn't he used to side with the corporatists who wanted to privatize it??


I'll say this for Boris though... he might look like British Trump, and his politics might not be much better, but at least his own brush with death has helped him learn a lesson. I doubt Cheeto would have had that perspective.

Yes he would have broke it up if he could, we have had conservatives in power for 10 years so any spare capacity in our healthcare system was seen as being wasteful.

BJ's a populist buffoon who is a compulsive liar with sociopathic tendencies but he isn't as extreme a case as Trump and actually has read some books in his time.

Still a terrible leader to have at a time like this and like Trump his instinct to react slowly and to protect corporations first has led to countless needless deaths. I doubt he will ever be held to account on that though...

The silver thing is complete nonsense...

Semi-nonsense. I do take supplements daily, but vitamins every other day, as you can get a build up of some vitamins that can be toxic, such as E. There are some that have been shown in peer reviewed studies to help. I take Vitamin D because I am shown to have a minor deficiency and it definitely boosts the immune system. Also, things like milk thistle and turmeric would be good for your liver. And turmeric has been shown to be an antiviral in some studies, and is a passive anti-inflammatory...

But I do agree the "colloidal/salt mines/organic absorption based/silver" bullshit is nonsense and you're just better off buying the cheapest multivitamin confirmed in studies to contain what it says -as long as taken in the correct amount and with food...

Oh, I know. She used to try to get me on certain things. I did try the blood pressure capsules but they didn't work, got back on the meds and it's okay. I buy energy drinks from her store, and that's it. Maybe some protein snacks, I like the Optimum Nutrition wafers and Quest protein chips. Could get 'em on Amazon but since I'm still working I'll shop in person. They wouldn't be here in two days with Amazon now anyway.

They sell a lot of the protein and creatine junk that the bodybuilders use. I'm not interested in that shit.

She's usually big on elderberry but I guess it makes kung flu worse. I just stick with vodka.

Only supplement I'm currently on is beet root powder capsules. Sure I could get the same benefits by eating beets... I just fucking hate the taste of the damn things.

[Seshmeister]

Hey I'm saying that but I get my anxious moments too so I have some multi vitamins and some vitamin D in my drawer here. 95% of the time I forget to take them.

Funny thing is that the thing I think that has helped me with bugs and shit after spending the 90s eating vitamin C pills and so on was about 10 years ago when I got into hand washing, hand sanitizers and using my knuckles to press buttons on ATMs and so on. My cold and flu bugs reduced hugely although I would get the piss taken out of me sometimes by friends for being a bit anal about it. I wasn't Howard Hughs but just aware of it. Like if you let yourself eat cakes but try and avoid it day to day.

Of course everyone is with the program now. I wonder if shaking hands may actually go permanently. I've never been a big fan of it myself, I didn't really see the point and then every so often you run into that sad cunt who thinks you will think he has a big dick if he crushes your hand,

I know a kidney specialist who has seen good results from his patients eating beets or taking a good beet supplement. Beets help your blood circulation.

I used to body build and you can either eat a ton of meat or take a good protein supplement. You got to have the protein to build the muscles. So there is a place for supplements. Most people would be fine if they ate a good balanced diet, got some exercise and kept the weight off. I find it funny when fat people obsess over supplements when they really should be on a serious diet and getting some exercise. Their obesity is going to kick their ass before what they are worrying about will.

I love beet soup!
