Celebs being salesmen/shills

[Torn Mind]

So I’m in the hospital right now and the extended infomercial is basically repeating ad nauseum the benefits of Meaningful Beauty, and Cindy Crawford is shilling for this product. Really my brain is about to spazz out from the word spam...

Cindy Crawford is shilling for this product.

It's easy money for them. I would even say free money. Some people enjoy this life just because of their name / genetic goodness etc.

Hope nothing too serious.

I was more annoyed the last time seeing nurses on the hospital TV doing the stupid COVID dances

Cellulitis, not to be taken lightly

Don't know exactly how I got it, whether from dirt outside or a slab of ground bison or ground beef coming into contact with some raw skin. Swelling, a "numb tingling" in the area. It's been a week and the swelling has gone down, but the tingling remains. I did go to urgent care, got...

It's the skin infection from earlier this month. Symptoms gradually lessened but the "numb tingling" never fully went away. Then on Feb 16, though it wasn't swelling like it was at the month's start, the tingling sensation's area expanded again so that it radiates down towards the chubby muscle area below the numb. I can feel the "electrical" tingling when flexing.

Since the infection's start, I basically left my left thumb alone. Maybe there was a re-exposure to ground meat liquid that aggravated the infection. If so, then Whole Foods ground bison needs to be handled with gloves. Or it could have been from high stress lack of sleep giving the opening.

This time, instead of doxycycline, it's cephalexain since it was the ER and not urgent care.

Haven't had an abscess since 2021 after changing diet and the way refined carbs are eaten--I use a knife to cut things like pizzas or bananas on the occasions I do eat chewable sweets, I limit the chewing of the carb, or if it's pasta, the pasta gets seasoned with only olive oil and salt, then swallowed more whole than chewed.

Shouldn't aloe vera application to skin help with the healing?

There's this too: https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Miracles-Colloidal-Cream-4oz/dp/B007IAM4YU

She personally showed up in the ad, so thus she's personally aware and involved, along with Ellen Pompeo.

Few months back, after forgetting to turn off the TV after football or something else, Newt Gingrich was trying to sell something, can't remember exactly, some sort of security thing, which was a bit more practical than this early morning's informercial.

Other than sweets, you can prevent carb related teeth damage by eating cucumber at the end of the meal. Or pomegranate. Or sip green tea, making sure you swish it a bit around your mouth before ingesting it. All these are anti-bacterial and wreak havoc on the oral bacteria's ability to grow.

I eat sometimes eat fermented sauerkraut at the beginning and there's always a good Waterpiking at end of the meal.

I haven't drank green tea since 2021. It might be okay to try now since the long COVID is not as noticeable.

I'm glad that when I was in the hospital, I was provided with a remote control that allowed me to operate the TV.
Celebrities have only been doing ads like this for, oh, probably a few decades?
