Wandering thoughts
Pain is the ultimate catalyst for change
Disease care will induce more pain
More pain will create a bigger readiness to accept responsibility
Only individuals who save in hard money will have time to take care of themselves
Fiat is bad for human health
Bitcoin is gradually lowering the time preference of every individual who adopts it
Bitcoin is literally making us healthier

If effective, Apollo can dematerialize lower extremity medical services by 95%
Bunion surgeries
Achilles surgeries
Custom orthotics
Conventional podiatry
Knee replacements
95% of it disappears because when people run natural software, their hardware doesn’t break down prematurely
In the same way that we used to buy a calculator and now it’s a free app on every smartphone, we used to pay disease care professionals lots of money to treat lower body symptoms and now we just apply free open source behaviour protocols to take care of ourselves
The health revolution happens at the individual level
[trogon_838487]
Mission:
Develop a simple and effective lower extremity health protocol that allows individuals to prevent and resolve injury without relying on disease care professionals who are trained to treat symptoms without addressing root causes.
Protocol principles:
1) Lower time preference by viewing pain as feedback and adopting hard money
2) Reduce exposure to unnatural inputs (shoes & chairs)
3) Increase exposure to natural inputs (walking & ground)
Medical intervention to treat lower extremity injury is complex
Lower extremity health is simple
Free open source health software is the future
Individuals ready accept responsibility for their health can opt out of centralized disease care by applying open source proof of work protocols in their lives
Welcome to the age of decentralized healthcare
[macaw_838467]
PSA to lower extremity disease care providers:
Navigating the transition from disease care to healthcare is simple
Step 1: Run Apollo software on your own hardware to validate it
Step 2: Help others apply the software in their lives
That’s it
Healthcare is being built on #Bitcoin & #nostr

Health is proof of work
Your state of health at any given time is proof of the work you have done to
1) understand how to care for your biology
2) run software that supports health
Run better software = develop better health
Be more human = develop better health
Finance is complex
Bitcoin is simple
Medicine is complex
Health is simple
Apollo is FOSS for human hardware
Truth by consensus
Your body is your node
[macaw_838339]
The paradigm shift:
From centralized disease care to decentralized healthcare
From trusting authorities with our health to reclaiming responsibility for taking care of ourselves
From proof of degree to proof of health
From reactive to preventative
From expensive, ineffective treatments to free open source effective health protocols
Hard money will usher in an era of low time preference, responsibility and Health 🙌🏽
[macaw_838333]
Humans are blessed with adaptive, self healing hardware and every individual is born with perfect software
Over time, we unintentionally and unknowingly upload error codes that corrupt our software
Specifically, chair sitting and wearing unnatural shoes are two huge error codes for the lower body
Those error codes cause us to run terrible software that damages our hardware (especially our joints) prematurely
Joints are designed to last 100 years if we use them in alignment with what our biology was designed for
Centralized disease care makes money from treating symptoms
It replaces hardware, introduces more error codes (drugs) to mitigate pain but it never removes any error codes to reset the software back to optimal default settings
Opt out of disease care by running your own health software that removes the error codes and restores your software back to healthy default settings
Apollo is open source health software for the lower extremity
Don’t trust us
Run the software and validate it for yourself
[trogon_838329]
We’re building an open source health protocol for the lower extremity
Simple principles that empower any human to opt out of disease care and reclaim responsibility for their lower body health
Built on #Bitcoin by healthy Bitcoiners 🤙🏽
Running Apollo means you’re running open source health software that optimizes your lower body hardware
It means you’re taking responsibility for your physical health by aligning your lifestyle with your biology
It means you’re voting against centralized disease care and opting into decentralized healthcare
It means you refuse to trust the experts with your health and reclaim health sovereignty by understanding how your biology functions at a fundamental level
Running Apollo is about more than having a healthy lower body
It’s about leading by example and shifting culture from lies and complacency to truth and responsibility
[trogon_838294]
Understanding how to keep your lower body healthy requires 6 year old level of brainpower
1) Don’t wear shoes that damage your feet
2) Don’t sit in chairs all day
That’s it
Just be a human

Jim is a 48 year old accountant
He goes on a hike with his kids and sprains his ankle. No fracture but it’s a nasty one
Context: Jim wears dress shoes ~10 hours a day that disable and deform his feet and spends ~14 hours a day sitting in chairs which creates imbalances at his hip that make him vulnerable to injury
Option 1: disease care
Jim visits his doctor who prescribes Tylenol and Advil to deal with the pain and 6 weeks of physiotherapy to rehab the injury
Jim does 12 physiotherapy sessions (2x/wk for 6wks) which costs him $1,200 and 18 hours of his time
After the 12 weeks Jim has regained 80% of his pre-injury ankle function and goes back to life as usual
Jim continues to have a nasty ankle sprain every few years and does the same routine each time
Option 2: healthcare
Jim’s brother Andy found out about Apollo from his pickleball partner and has been running the software in his life for 3 months. His knee and ankle pain resolved and he feels stronger than ever before
Andy tells Jim about Apollo. He sends Jim a link to the whitepaper and shares how he applies the protocol by switching to better shoes, spending less time in chairs, walking more and training his balance for 5 minutes every morning while he makes his coffee
Jim reads the whitepaper, learns how shoes and chairs affect his lower body, switches to shoes that support healthy feet, reduces his chair sitting time to 4 hours a day and does a 30 minute routine every morning to work on his hip mobility, balance, squat, and to restore strength and mobility in his feet
After 6 weeks, Jim has no ankle pain, his hip and ankle function is better than it was before his injury and he continues his daily 30 minute session everyday because of how good it makes him feel
After 2 years, Jim is still walking everyday for at least 60 minutes with his kids, hasn’t had any ankle sprains, no longer has low back or knee issues and tells everyone at his office about Apollo
The end

Most people accept that lower body issues are normal
Sore feet
Tight ankles
Knee pain
Shitty balance
Those problems might have been normalized but they aren’t natural and almost all of them are preventable
The core problem: nobody teaches us how to take care of our bodies
“Experts” diagnose our issues with big fancy words and treat the symptoms but they aren’t trained to understand or resolve the root cause of the issues
This is why we’re creating Apollo
We want to open source truthful, applicable education that helps people reclaim responsibility for their lower body health
No more relying on disease treaters
No more getting lost in the noise of the internet
Simple principles grounded in fundamental laws of biology that will transform the lower body health of any human who applies them consistently
1) Lower your time preference
2) Reduce unnatural inputs (shitty shoes & chair sitting)
3) Add natural inputs (walking & time on the ground)
That’s it. That’s all you need to do
Probably seems too simple to be true so don’t trust us
Run the software and validate it yourself

Restoring healthy feet is really simple:
Lower your time preference by saving your time in hard money called #bitcoin
Reduce time in unnatural shoes
Reduce time spent sitting in chairs
Increase time spent walking
Increase time spent on the ground
The ultimate form of healthcare is taking care of yourself

Myth: bunions are genetic
Truth: bunions are caused by shoes
It’s simple really: if you wear pointed shoes, you will develop pointed feet (aka bunions) over time
Wear better shoes = have healthier feet

Feet don’t need support
They ARE the support
Feet are a complex structure loaded with muscles, sensors, ligaments and 26 bones that organize to create a dynamic and stable foundation for the body
Feet need to be free to function like feet
That means spending time barefoot and wearing shoes that are:
1) Foot shaped (widest at the toes)
2) Flat
3) Flexible
4) Have a thin sole so your sensors can feel the ground
Anyone telling you that your feet need support don’t understand how feet work and are likely trying to sell you something
Act like a human, wear human shoes and you will develop healthy, resilient, painfree feet
Don’t trust us
Run the software and validate it yourself
[macaw_837103]
We develop software that optimizes human feet for strength, stability, adaptability and resilience
The objective is natural function
Reducing and eliminating pain happens to be a great side effect of running the software

Legacy foot “experts” are wrong
Disease care degrees are mostly worthless fiat scams
Today’s medical treatments and conventional rehab of lower body injuries is useless at best, harmful at worst
Apollo is a quest to inform individuals so they can protect themselves from the dangers of disease care
A protocol that helps people focus on what matters and take care of themselves
An open source project that highlights signal, trims the noise and calls bullshit on ineffective disease care interventions that benefit providers at the expense of confusing and disempowering patients
The future of health is built on truthful, applicable, simple protocols and personal responsibility

High time preference thinking:
Pain is the enemy
It must be eliminated

Pain is the feedback
It must be learned from
