Insanity at the white house. Lots of it. I’ll make a list.

Bleach and other household chemicals are sometimes ingested by people trying to commit suicide or are drunk by toddlers who found them under the sink. Some are scented to be attractive. Bleach destroys blood. IT'S POISON.
2. Some cleaning agents have a very high proportion of alcohol — not grain alcohol as in hard drinks, but isopropyl alcohol. Hand sanitizer uses it. When people are in the advanced stages of addiction to alcohol, they are almost unable to keep from drinking things like aftershave or worse. Absorbine Jr. or Sterno (filter through a nylon stocking) or Lysol.
When I was in Saskatchewan and wanted Lysol to scrub a bathroom, I had to get a clerk to fetch it for me. They didn’t keep it on the shelves because, they said, “Indians steal it to drink all the time.” I don’t know whether that is true, either the stealing or the drinking. It could but it's not race-related.
3. “Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that makes black-light posters glow, and is responsible for summer tans — and sunburns. However, too much exposure to UV radiation is damaging to living tissue. “ Trump imitates the results of a sun-tan booth with cosmetics, even leaving white around his eyes as though he’d been wearing sunglasses. He associates this with luxury and attractiveness and somehow knows that the tanning is from ultraviolet light which is part of sunshine, so he gets confused.
At the Valier altitude (over 3,000 feet), one of the the aspects of plants that good gardeners must consider is their resistance to ultraviolet light. People who work with viruses in labs must remember to shut off the disinfecting UV light or all their working samples will be killed.
4. What will kill a virus on a surface is simple soap and water. It’s outside “skin” is fatty and will break apart if scrubbed a bit with soap. It is not necessary to eat soap. A virus outside a body can’t last long because it is only instructions that activate a cell to do its billing. It's gotta have a cell.
5. We have come to see bodies as machine-like because we cut each other open, insert bits of plastic or metal into hearts and joints, and rearrange faces. The near-religious respect for the complexity and vulnerability of a living body has been badly eroded. We take pills and potions all the time, not necessarily derived from other living things like coffee or chocolate from plants, but molecules that were built in a lab and never existed before. We are working deep in cells with nearly undetectable functions.
5. Drug use, openly depicted in stories, has made syringes seem almost like household items and too many people know about skin popping, muscle injection and mainlining. A relative of mine who enjoys phlebotomy worked with a “doc” who withdrew blood, bubbled it with ozone, and then replaced it. The law stepped in, though they had been working in “confidential” clubs as privileged secrets, something like places that do “high” coffee enemas. Colonics.
Trump knows a LOT about drugs. He also knows that celebrities play with anything that’s meant to keep them young and beautiful, though that part doesn’t seem to work with him. The speculation is that he’s a hard core meth addict, which is more dangerous because it supports bad behavior and lousy decisions.
People go into medicine for idealistic wishes to help people, or from fascination with the intricacy of the practice, but also for bad reasons. One of the worst is greed, but I also run into control freaks, little dictators of the exam room. Often semi-qualified women, like “nurse practitioners.” They are not screened to keep out co-dependent enablers.
6. The authority for medical matters is split between academia and formally qualified doctors, but both have been eroded by pharma corporations who publicly claim great benefits but privately consider the only real benefit to be profit. Ironically, some people may be less impressed by Harvard Toxicology, whom they suspect of selling out and simply being another part of “suits” and the 1%, deliberately deceiving the yokels and the innocents.
Harvard Toxicology
@Harvard_Tox
Please don’t inject bleach or drink disinfectant. Bleach injections cause hemolysis (where your red blood cells that carry OXYGEN break apart) and cause liver damage, and many disinfectants can cause dangerous burns or bleeding in your stomach. This tweet IS medical advice.
This course is designed to update clinicians on the care of the intoxicated, overdose, exposure or substance abuse patient. There are approximately 1 million ED visits annually for drug poisoning while most acute care hospitals do not have a Medical Toxicologist on staff to guide care, often relying on phone consultation from a local Poison Control Center.”
A thin line persists between medicine and poison. Effects are not the same under different circumstances or with different genomes/epigenomes/synergistic substances. Simply following a best practices list from the insurance company is not enough.
7. A stubborn belief in “snake oil” persists among the kind of people who think that somewhere is an exotic substance or maybe an unsuspected cure hiding in plain sight that they can find and use, possibly at a very high price. While mocking peasant Chinese who take bear bile or pangolin scales, they go to Mexico for unproven cancer cures. They believe in miracles because they can’t think in a trained logical way. Our advertising does all it can to encourage this superstitious exceptionalism.
