I can not emphasize enough how valuable your videos are to me. Nobody talks about this stuff and as you know frankly most doctors are useless. You really are a lifeline to me and I'm sure many others out there. Please keep making these videos so us with MCAS and MCS can can have a fighting chance to heal and live a better life.
A doctor tells me that I can't do this myself and that I need to find a doctor. Well, not only did doctors cause this and countless others treat me as if I was crazy or eating disordered, after years of trying to get help, I gave up on them. I got rid of multiple chemical sensitivities all on my own, thank you very much. A year ago I couldn't even go through the chemist section in a supermarket without getting a headache right away that would persist, now.I don't have these issues anymore. And maybe you could tell people to stop using poisonous crap like synthetic pesticides not only when they start reacting to them. We're just the canaries in the coal mine. It will slowly poison the others or their kids as well. 1000 toxicants per day is what scientists have estimated we get in contact with daily. It's not people's bad genes that are to blame. It's our world being poisoned more and more.
It's awful how so many medical professionals push their ignorance, arrogance, and fear of being wrong --- over onto their patients --- in form of medical gaslighting. Sorry you went through it... I've been through it myeslf. May I ask what you did to heal it?
I sure would like to know what you did to get rid of MCS. I’ve been a prisoner in my home for 2yrs now. Cig Smoke and perfume is my poison and it’s everywhere!
Your explanation of MCS is the first one that makes sense to me. The most common information from the health care community is so loony and reflects the arrogance and incompetence of many so called professionals that only care about themselves. Thank you !
So refreshing to hear this complete overview and in depth too, really impressive. as a chronic sufferer going thru many many Dr s and Therapies for decades.... I've had to study and treat myself in order to keeping my bucket from overflowing, with Castor oil packing followed by enemas and infra red sauna and lots of supplementation DAO when i can afford it! trying to eliminate all manner of things keeping away from animals... id love to have you treat me..
thank you! People really thinks I am crazy but I am getting used to it unfortunately.. Off gasing is certainly of my main problem , this is geeting paranoid.. thank you for giving me this notion and to acknowledge it above all. There is a life beyond there
Would greatly appreciate if you gave this a read. I’m a 27 year old male and MCS is killing me... I was in a moldy environment when my symptoms began roughly 6 years ago but honestly I’m not super sure that’s even the cause, as I may have been having mild symptoms well before that. I have migraines, tremors, and endless neurological and GI symptoms in certain environments, that taper down QUICKLY when I go to a proper environment for me. I’ve tested and proven it to myself hundreds of times so I’m sure MCS is my issue. It’s gotten to the point where if I stay in bad places now I even begin to have myoclonus/seizures. I feel that it may soon kill or hospitalize me long term because im running out of places I’m not sensitive too. I’ve had to leave my home and job, I am sitting outside on a bench of my hotel right now because I can’t even go in there. Im sensitive to EVERYTHING. Have been drinking only 2 brands of water for years. Trying to not make this TOO long while also emphasizing the severity of my problems.. My question really is, is there one specific doctor you would recommend for me, given my situation. If you want more details I would love to talk personally but I understand you are very busy! Any specific advice you’d be willing to give on which doctor I should choose from the ones listed above, could save my life. Thank you for reading.
I hear you, too! I can’t stay in new hotels, houses, cars, office buildings, etc. When traveling, I called ahead to verify the year of the hotel or Airbnb, as well as the furniture or year of remodeling. I stay on the top floor and choose hotels with bedroom windows or patio doors that open to avoid chemicals from others. I had to work remote the first year until the VOC levels reduced at my last employment. I hire an environmental specialist to test my space (home, office, etc) so I know whether it’s safe for me. I avoid new cars and insist in a rental that is a few years old and has not been recently cleaned (the chemicals are too strong). My MCS started after toxicity exposure in 2015. Then, I got MCAS with Covid. Things worsened after multiple Covid infections and mild exposure, so now I deal with anaphylactic shock. I’m only able to drink two types of water too for the past three years. I’m currently detoxing but taking it slow as I have poor detox channels (MTHFR gene mutation, low GGT (liver) detox. I change my home filters weekly and use air purifiers. I’m on OTC antihistamines and a prescription called Cromolyn (100mg oral ampules, 3x a day). They help calm down my MCAS. Perhaps you can try them to see if it helps your MCS. Allegra, Zyrtec or Claritin don’t cross the blood brain barrier. I take all three, and sometimes twice a day if I have a bad flare up. I hope you found a good doctor who believes you!
@@nicolewaters2581 I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with this as well, it feels like a one in a million curse sometimes.. I have had a really hard time finding places/things that don’t make me sick anymore, and my strategy at this point has literally been to go from place to place so that I’m never in the same environment for too long.. I am starting CIRS/ShoeMaker treatment to see if there is any connection or use I can get from going that route. I always have a purifier going and a window open as well or else I will have even more issues. As I mentioned a lot of my symptoms are neurological (headaches, tremors, muscle spasms) and another large chunk of them are stomach related (reflux, stomach pain, bloating, you name it).. I pretty much have it all though, and it gets severe enough to hospitalize me at times.. I am nervous for my Detox process as well because I am so sensitive to everything and the CIRS program gave me a giant tub of supplements.. I’m almost positive I won’t be able to handle half of them, but we will see I’m more than open to talk about it more and share what we have learned and some of the things we do to help ourselves, clearly I haven’t learned enough because I am struggling lol… I really do hope things get better for you.
@@nicolewaters2581 I responded to your comment a little while ago but my response is gone for some reason. I am starting CIRS treatment soon to see if there is any correlation or help I can get with my MCS going that route. I am nervous for the detox process myself because I was given a huge box of supplements and I’m sure I won’t be able to handle a good chunk of them.. My strategy of avoidance lately has literally just been to constantly go to new environments so I’m never in the same one too long, since basically every place/thing causes some sort of symptoms at this point. As I mentioned a lot of my symptoms are nuerological (headaches, tremors, spasms and seizure type activity), I also have a ton of stomach issues. I have a bit of everything it seems like.. I use an air purifier and always have a wind open as well, without those things I won’t last long in most buildings/homes.. When this started in my early 20s it was much easier to avoid and only a few things really bothered me. I’d love to talk to you more about how you are doing and share things we’ve learned along the way, clearly I need to learn a lot more lol.. I truly hope things get better for you, no one deserves this..
@ I’m sorry you’ve dealt with this for a long time. You sound like you have a bad case of long-covid which aggravates your MCS and which likely morphed to MCAS. How can I help you?
Admittedly I have a scientific background, but I can also state that living with this condition has broadened my knowledge. Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is the best explanation of MCS I've seen on UA-cam. I wish that all health providers were as open and schooled on the subject as you are. Thank you and be blessed.
I live in a home built in 1928, and a very high humidity place. Mold , musty house. I don’t have a choice. With my family. My sister n my brother in law and my parents moved in less than a year ago. And it’s tough. Like yesterday. And still itching and burning and I feel like crying. I keep on being strong. Dad says, it’s in your head. I have heard it from members of my family countless times. It hurts like crazy. 😭. My sister had sensitive skin. Now I thought a I had out of control allergies. But at least now I know I’m not alone. Fresh air is great! I pretty much live in my bedroom. It’s small and has 4 breathing beautiful windows. Thank You GOD♥️! My sister doesn’t understand, but she is compassionate to me. And Mom♥️she is trying. And this making me feel like they care, and it’s so helpful like, they love me. My Dad, always says or gets angry! And I just want to go crawl under a rock. 2 dermatologist told me 11 yrs ago. We are so sorry Rhonda, you’re sensitive to everything. And they were so sad. Now, FINALLY TODAY, I know more. Thank You So Much 😭.
I developed MCS from Being in an office where repairs and construction went on for weeks and months.Started with chemical pneumonia.I canot be near magic marker pens.There's a movie called SAFE, where someone had MCS even worse than mine.
I have Porphyria and MCS. I was told by yet another doctor today that I'm delusional! I never get any understanding about this illness. My husband is deceased so I have no one to give me any comfort now. :(
Glutathione (GGT, liver support). It’s a binder that helps absorb the toxins. You can get it in IV’s at wellness centers, as a compounded supplement, or through veggies like broccoli. There’s a liver blood test called GGT that you can test to see your levels. Butyrate (helps create bile and relieve the toxins in the body). Available as a pill supplement or suppository at a compound pharmacy. Walnuts are also a natural source of butyrate. Don’t drink water from plastic bottles not BPA free.
im so glad i happened to stumble upon this channels when i keyed in mcs. so glad to find the best mcs explanation 🙌 😌 ❤ Doctor Anderson Sir how to consult with you, where are you located ? I'm sure mcs communities would appreciate to know this , thank you dr for your knowledge time understanding efforts kindness caring and loving and explaining this mcs conditions on your channels here its truly a blessing thst this comes from a doctor like yourself so thst others people's family coworkers now ex co workets communities other doctors friends naghbors etc..will understand this darn invisible disabilities mcs thank you greatly appreciated 👏 so greatful for you 👌🙏👍
How do we do fix it though? This has completely upended my life. I can't go to grocery stores or anywhere that has fragrances or I will have horrible headaches, body aches, weakness, high heart rate, etc. for DAYS. At this point, I literally have to leave fast if I don't want to feel like crap. I can't keep a job. I am so angry and at my wits end because nothing I do can control it. I feel like if this is going to be my life, what kind of quality does it even have? What's the point? People look at me like I'm crazy and doctors tell me it's all in my head. I am having a real reaction. Hives on my lips and neck, heart rates goes up to 150, blood pressure rises, headaches, dizziness, throat swelling, body pain. Then for days after I can barely get out of bed. And it seems like there's nothing I can do about it. I'm grateful that you are acknowledging and giving science to it but how do I fix it??? I can't stand that I'm at the mercy of simple perfumes and smells that everyone else seems to be fine with. Is there a book or video or some other resource you can recommend to help?
Yes that sounds really tough, keep up hope. You can find an integrative doctor with the links in video description to help you with your particular case. The MCAS/Histamine videos on this channel should also be of help since chemical sensitivity is closely related to mast cell activation. Best of luck to you - Team Dr. A
You sound like you have MCAS, too. I had MCS before getting MCAS. I deal with many of your symptoms. I take OTC anti-histamines (Allegra, Zyrtec, and Claritin as they don’t cross the blood brain barrier to cause brain fog), and a prescription called Cromolyn (oral, 100mg ampules, 3x a day). It’s a mast cell stabilizer. Together, I can control my histamine response most of the time.
Try to find a local integrative doctor to work with - you can use the links in description to find one. They'll be able to help you the most. -Team Dr. A
@@JetFire9 I did think it was odd that I was the only sane one in there, and homeless just half a mile away were running around the streets causing chaos. ua-cam.com/video/xFz13EVug3g/v-deo.html
Tough situation: In the medical system, I eventually found an allergist with a military background who is aware of MCS. Avoidance is key. Many alternative practitioners offer great modalities but might not address your internal factors. -removing amalgams was HUGE for me as well as leaving a sick building workplace 😢
I have Rosacea on top of this. Does anyone taste the chemicals in their mouths. Like you’re being fed whatever is setting you off. ? And when I’m going through an episode. That’s what I call it, when I’m being attacked by toxins. I brush my teeth and I have to throw it away. One time use and throw the toothbrush away. I can use euricen cream for my mascara. Lol. If I’m going thru an episode, I’d something is on my hand, and I thought I got it clean, but I end up contaminating my big jar of euricen cream and I have to throw the whole thing away and replace it. On anything if it gets exposed to a chemical, I have throw it away. It tastes Really gross. It’s very expensive having this stuff. And my pain medicine causes my mouth and around my mouth to wrinkle very, very bad. It makes me look so unglued, like I’m over 100 yrs old. Like toothpaste does it too! Anything that sets me off, it cause my mouth to disappear and super wrinkles around my mouth. I feel fatigued and eating whatever that is making me sick. Like being hooked up to an IV of toxins. Sucking the life out of me n making me feel very dehydrated. It would help me so much emotionally I’d my family would stop fighting me and support me. Especially me Dad who I love So Very Much. My Mom n Sister are trying. My brother I law kinda understands because of his sensitive skin. Now I can Actually maybe make some sort of since to them and my new Dr. I get serious headaches too. I like to take a 4 mg steroid that’s usually used for when a get rhinitis or sinus infections. And a sumatriptan along with it for the headache and that works well. Smells and even cool air sets off sinuses and a migraine. And in my ears , throat chest neck and sometimes my whole body. I’m a walking barometer. My eyes are always messed up too from chemicals and dry eye . I feel like my tongue is swollen a lot. I’m. I feel So Blessed to have found you Dr and others to talk to, because I have felt I’ve been alone for years with this infirmity. It’s like a curse. But I have a Savior and His name is JESUS. I lean on Him and His love for me and the world Everyday ❣️.
I smell what I call the smell of exhaust, in my house, but nobody that I've had come to smell it smells it...could it be a medication I'm taking.... it's terribly strong, I can't hardly sleep from how strong g it is
Dr i never had this situation in my life after having COVID I developed all and more these symptoms, now I am allergic to everything medication, supplements, herbs, vitamins, food and including everything that smell just some aroma and have to be very light otherwise headaches how an I detox myself, please don’t ask about find a doctor to understand that I haven’t one yet wh understand how my body works and why my body rejected so many things they are clueless
It is mcas....covid triggered the mast cell controller to react to everything. I have had this for the past 7 yrs. I live like a hermit and I can smell the scents on ppl from 6 feet away. Because of all this, I think I was able to avoid getting covid. Look for the mcas videos.
Watch his MCAS videos. Explore OTC H1 antihistamines like Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin. Avoid Benadryl, it crosses the blood brain barrier and makes you tired. Cromolyn oral is a mast cell stabilizer prescription that helps me. Eat low histamine diet. Remove gluten, lectins, dairy (goat product okay), and sugar (honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, and dates are alternative natural sources. Change your HVAC filters often and have it cleaned. Use air purifiers. Blood tests: GGT, MTHFR gene mutation. Both reveal detoxification channel performance. I had MCS since 2015 due to toxic exposure. Developed MCAS with multiple Covid infections.
This video is purely speaking to the body’s holistic dysfunction with theories on why we experience these symptoms. But, it is sending an incorrect message. It is not focusing on the main cause of all of the body systems dysfunctions. For example why does CFS, MCS, toxic mold exposure, POTS, autoimmune issues, allergies, etc all overlap? Nervous system dysregulation causes all of the above. The body is stuck in fight or flight via chronic stress and usually by people with a history of trauma, abuse or significant stress. The hypersensitivity is our body trying to do its most important job, to protect us. However, it is so hyper-sensitive with new protective neural pathways created in an attempt to keep us safe. The brain needs to be trained back into a safety mode to return to state of calm. It will not detoxify when it is conserving energy to digest food or not react to the environment until a person feels a felt sense of safety. None of us are crazy, however there is a major connection between the mind and the body. How high strung are you? What do you do relax? To take care of yourself? How often do you feel joy? Feel in the moment? Pay attention to the sun on your face? Do you even feel your body besides your symptoms? Practice somatic. Practice joy. Relax. Slow down. Breathe. Meditate. Stop being afraid of your body, of everything. You are not sick!!!! Your nervous system is deregulated and you were not exposed to too many chemicals or to toxic mold. Once the body is in a relaxed state and your brain in retrained all things will normalize and function normally again.
I had a bad mold exposure ans now I feel like I'm constantly hard from everything around me I can't figure out what it is, any pets, any fragrance stuff, any mold hiding snd I cannot seem to get away from it My hair is falling out, I'm swollen, my organs ache, my skin burns and it won't stop I can't catch a break and I need help so bad. Medical doctors are not a help
Mine really kicked in after the lockdown when fragrances became a new norm. The biggest offenders besides airplugs with synthetic fragrances are: garbage bags , dryer sheets Fragrant whipes Some fragrant detergents Tide pods! FEBREZE! air fresheners JUUL! Cleaners with fragrances Glifosat And the newest treath ... Down dish soap - again, they changed the formula! Alkohol denat the first ingredient , a lot of polyethylene glycol - very, very bad! and synthetic fragrance. It's like hand sanitizer except a lot worse. All toxic! to everyone. I react to it. Many people don't have symptoms because: they already are taking some meds like proton pomp inhibitors, singular, antidepressants ... And actually, those who drink a little , because ethanol actually act as antidote in many poisonings.
@@bjornolson21 Brains are just like factory made parts. Some parts are defective when they are made, some are poorly made so they break earlier than expected, some fail from neglect or abuse by their owners. The only difference is that once a brain is broken, they can’t fix or replace it. You’re just screwed for life, literally.
I can not emphasize enough how valuable your videos are to me. Nobody talks about this stuff and as you know frankly most doctors are useless. You really are a lifeline to me and I'm sure many others out there. Please keep making these videos so us with MCAS and MCS can can have a fighting chance to heal and live a better life.

You sound like you have MCAS, too. I had MCS before getting MCAS. I deal with many of your symptoms. I take OTC anti-histamines (Allegra, Zyrtec, and Claritin as they don’t cross the blood brain barrier to cause brain fog), and a prescription called Cromolyn (oral, 100mg ampules, 3x a day). It’s a mast cell stabilizer. Together, I can control my histamine response most of the time.
Me either my neighbors and the city uses toxic chemicals it's horrible
Can some one explain me what i should do , i can't understand what the doctor says about the treatment.
Try to find a local integrative doctor to work with - you can use the links in description to find one. They'll be able to help you the most.

@@DrA-Online thanks doctor for your answer .
I can't go to grocery stores or any stores except Walgreens 😢
I got sent to the psych ward for a week for 'suffering delusions' ha
If you proved you are crazy, they will just release you to live on the streets. That’s the dem solution.
@@JetFire9 I did think it was odd that I was the only sane one in there, and homeless just half a mile away were running around the streets causing chaos.

How to you know which integrative type of physician network to start with, if you don’t know which factor is causing the sensitivities?
Tough situation:
In the medical system, I eventually found an allergist with a military background who is aware of MCS. Avoidance is key.
Many alternative practitioners offer great modalities but might not address your internal factors.
-removing amalgams was HUGE for me as well as leaving a sick building workplace 😢
It's a minefield, navigating is challenging to put it mildly!
How does one get an appointment with you please? I’m contacting you from South Africa and desperately looking for answers.
I have Rosacea on top of this. Does anyone taste the chemicals in their mouths. Like you’re being fed whatever is setting you off. ? And when I’m going through an episode. That’s what I call it, when I’m being attacked by toxins. I brush my teeth and I have to throw it away. One time use and throw the toothbrush away.
I can use euricen cream for my mascara. Lol. If I’m going thru an episode, I’d something is on my hand, and I thought I got it clean, but I end up contaminating my big jar of euricen cream and I have to throw the whole thing away and replace it. On anything if it gets exposed to a chemical, I have throw it away. It tastes Really gross. It’s very expensive having this stuff. And my
pain medicine causes my mouth and around my mouth to wrinkle very, very bad. It makes me look so unglued, like I’m over 100 yrs old. Like toothpaste does it too! Anything that sets me off, it cause my mouth to disappear and super wrinkles around my mouth. I feel fatigued and eating whatever that is making me sick. Like being hooked up to an IV of toxins.
Sucking the life out of me n making me feel very dehydrated. It would help me so much emotionally I’d my family would stop fighting me and support me. Especially me Dad who I love So Very Much. My Mom n Sister are trying. My brother I law kinda understands because of his sensitive skin. Now I can Actually maybe make some sort of since to them and my new Dr. I get serious headaches too.
I like to take a 4 mg steroid that’s usually used for when a get rhinitis or sinus infections. And a sumatriptan along with it for the headache and that works well. Smells and even cool air sets off sinuses and a migraine. And in my ears , throat chest neck and sometimes my whole body. I’m a walking barometer. My eyes are always messed up too from chemicals and dry eye . I feel like my tongue is swollen a lot. I’m. I feel So Blessed to have found you Dr and others to talk to, because I have felt I’ve been alone for years with this infirmity. It’s like a curse. But I have a Savior and His name is JESUS. I lean on Him and His love for me and the world Everyday ❣️.
I made dna- tests and here it showed up what's really up..nope I never was crazy...😁🤣🤩🤭😏
What?
What showed up on your DNA profile? Can you explain more please
I smell what I call the smell of exhaust, in my house, but nobody that I've had come to smell it smells it...could it be a medication I'm taking.... it's terribly strong, I can't hardly sleep from how strong g it is
Dr i never had this situation in my life after having COVID I developed all and more these symptoms, now I am allergic to everything medication, supplements, herbs, vitamins, food and including everything that smell just some aroma and have to be very light otherwise headaches how an I detox myself, please don’t ask about find a doctor to understand that I haven’t one yet wh understand how my body works and why my body rejected so many things they are clueless
It is mcas....covid triggered the mast cell controller to react to everything. I have had this for the past 7 yrs. I live like a hermit and I can smell the scents on ppl from 6 feet away. Because of all this, I think I was able to avoid getting covid. Look for the mcas videos.
You might like to explore Limbic system impairment
Watch his MCAS videos. Explore OTC H1 antihistamines like Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin. Avoid Benadryl, it crosses the blood brain barrier and makes you tired. Cromolyn oral is a mast cell stabilizer prescription that helps me.
Eat low histamine diet. Remove gluten, lectins, dairy (goat product okay), and sugar (honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, and dates are alternative natural sources.
Change your HVAC filters often and have it cleaned. Use air purifiers.
Blood tests: GGT, MTHFR gene mutation. Both reveal detoxification channel performance.
I had MCS since 2015 due to toxic exposure. Developed MCAS with multiple Covid infections.
thank you
My MCS was caused by benzodiazepines
I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck in your recovery - Team Dr. A
This video is purely speaking to the body’s holistic dysfunction with theories on why we experience these symptoms. But, it is sending an incorrect message. It is not focusing on the main cause of all of the body systems dysfunctions. For example why does CFS, MCS, toxic mold exposure, POTS, autoimmune issues, allergies, etc all overlap? Nervous system dysregulation causes all of the above. The body is stuck in fight or flight via chronic stress and usually by people with a history of trauma, abuse or significant stress. The hypersensitivity is our body trying to do its most important job, to protect us. However, it is so hyper-sensitive with new protective neural pathways created in an attempt to keep us safe. The brain needs to be trained back into a safety mode to return to state of calm. It will not detoxify when it is conserving energy to digest food or not react to the environment until a person feels a felt sense of safety. None of us are crazy, however there is a major connection between the mind and the body. How high strung are you? What do you do relax? To take care of yourself? How often do you feel joy? Feel in the moment? Pay attention to the sun on your face? Do you even feel your body besides your symptoms? Practice somatic. Practice joy. Relax. Slow down. Breathe. Meditate. Stop being afraid of your body, of everything. You are not sick!!!! Your nervous system is deregulated and you were not exposed to too many chemicals or to toxic mold. Once the body is in a relaxed state and your brain in retrained all things will normalize and function normally again.
This comment was really helpful to me, thank you.
Pls explain steps supplements or programs to engage in.
So well explained, thank you! :)
I had a bad mold exposure ans now I feel like I'm constantly hard from everything around me I can't figure out what it is, any pets, any fragrance stuff, any mold hiding snd I cannot seem to get away from it My hair is falling out, I'm swollen, my organs ache, my skin burns and it won't stop I can't catch a break and I need help so bad. Medical doctors are not a help
How are you now?
Soft cheese can tend to have micro toxins too.
These chemicals have not existed for all of human history. They simply do not belong in contact with a human body.
Could this condition be caused by vakkz1nes?
Yes, I now have MCAS from 1 Pf00zer, confirmed by Professor in Germany w/o Covid.
Yes, got it from the yellow fever one. It caused lots of issues.
Mine started after a tdap shot
mine started after a tetanus shot.
Mine really kicked in after the lockdown when fragrances became a new norm.
The biggest offenders besides airplugs with synthetic fragrances are:
garbage bags ,
dryer sheets
Fragrant whipes
Some fragrant detergents
Tide pods!
FEBREZE! air fresheners
JUUL!
Cleaners with fragrances
Glifosat
And the newest treath ...
Down dish soap - again, they changed the formula!
Alkohol denat the first ingredient ,
a lot of polyethylene glycol - very, very bad!
and synthetic fragrance.
It's like hand sanitizer except a lot worse.
All toxic! to everyone.
I react to it.
Many people don't have symptoms because:
they already are taking some meds like proton pomp inhibitors,
singular, antidepressants ...
And actually, those who drink a little , because ethanol actually act as antidote in many poisonings.

Do u see patients
No. Duh.
If you have MCS, that is real, but you also have mental illness, and that is real too.
But what’s triggering the mental illness?
@@bjornolson21 Brains are just like factory made parts. Some parts are defective when they are made, some are poorly made so they break earlier than expected, some fail from neglect or abuse by their owners. The only difference is that once a brain is broken, they can’t fix or replace it. You’re just screwed for life, literally.
