I just watched a video on YouTube pushing that crap and I guess it got me into a rant mode.

Speaking for myself, during my LC I have had:

• bizarre petechiae on my inner elbow area; never had that before in my life and I'm in my mid 40s
• a weird off and on rash on my lower abdomen for A YEAR that has no correlation with allergens or anything that should be causing it
• I sometimes get dizzy when I stand up too fast; never had that before in my life, ever
• heart palpitations without any caffeine or anything that would explain it
• I get short of breath when I talk too much or exert too much -- NEVER had a problem with this for 40 years before LC... I used to go on long hikes in the hills, clocking upwards of 19k steps on my step counter and at most I'd feel a little sore in the legs the next day
• My fingers sometimes tremble
• My brain fog can be so bad at times that I struggle to pronounce or remember the spelling of a common word. And I am someone who wrote for a paper at university, would write dense technical material at work, reads long books and long articles regularly for fun - words are not something I ever struggled with before covid.

And these grifter idiots want to claim you can just "change your thoughts" to cure it? Go fuck yourself! It's truly the stupidest crap you could ever buy into.

I know:

• people are desperate and willing to try anything if it could work
• and, of course, there's something to be said for calming down the nervous system, including with stuff like meditation or other mentally-focused techniques; the body is generally going to rest and heal better if you’re relaxed

But come on. This is a physical illness. You can't "think positive" your way out of it. What a load of ridiculous nonsense.
