No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

The prize is a surgery scheduled in advance to remove necrotic tissue from your back.

This is not a problem for a healthy person, which is presumably why he didn't need surgery to remove necrotic tissue from his back.

If you lay in onr spot all day every day you WILL form bed sores. End of discussion.

While true in most cases, that doesn't apply here. They were allowed to have books, their phone, and a break every 8 hours to use the bathroom. Succesptible people can form pressure ulcers in that time frame, but a healthy person with normal circulation and skin, and absent from moisture and friction, will not get bed sores.

This is the lying down competition, not the bedridden and in a coma competition. No post performance surgery required, or else the $350 prize doesn't go very far...

Hi there, hello, it's me, professional bed layer. For a year or so now I could only leave my bed to go shitting. No bed sores.

There's a difference between laying completely still and changing your position every few hours.

Then do as Limp Biscuit told told you I guess, idk why yall feel the need to tear down a perfectly good joke.

Best I can tell this is a laying down competition, not a laying down in the same position competition. And they get bathroom breaks. So yeah, seems like you could really stretch this thing out.

Sure, but the prize money stays the same. So not stretching it out but just aa long as needed is much better here.

I once was in a hospital bed for 3 months. Being in bed for 2 and half days is nothing...

Honestly. Who has the time?
