Don't fall for his bullshit: sleep in the car, avoid hotels. In the morning set the car on fire with your clothes inside. Go shopping, rent another car.

Given the amount of ad traffic you mentioned i'm sure you could approach the issue in a direct manner by letting the ad networks sign proper contracts:
No pop-up ads, no scripts that do this/that etc.
Whitelisting those who comply while terminating the others would make you stand out. Long term vs short term approach!

Create just 2 more and you'll have a nice couple of handles as well!

As somebody who had to design his own prosthetic piece along with a designer friend (just a bone, thank goodness)... Have you considered covering that side of custom prosthesis as well?
Bionic limbs are cool but many people could benefit from smaller custom solutions and the cash could help you stay afloat.In my case the surgeon chickened out the day before the operation but still...

While I do tend to agree with your statement given how many people literally throw their lives away by turning to "alternative" paths to cure many forms of otherwise curable diseases I think that one point should be made:
Keeping a positive attitude and taking care of the psychological devastation does indeed help in maintaining an efficient immune system and overall decently working body. Would I choose a therapy of fruits and meditation to curve cancer if I ever got diagnoesd? Fuck no. Should I succumb to despair and dig the hole even deeper if not faster as well? Hell no.

While it may sound unrelated: I suffer from severe chronic pain caused by multiple botched surgeries. It's been almost 6 years since the last operation and all the time spent looking for a solution without any possible fix in sight is what drove my life down the drain. While I still had hope (ie incoming surgeries to "fix" the problem) i bore the pain better. The next surgery has been delayed for 2 years because most doctors are shitty human beings and even I theoretically know a date my mindset is that of a defeated individual that succumbed to his injuries.
Had I kept (or had they helped me keep...) a different attitude I probably wouldn't have suffered\been suffering\will suffer much less.
So while I think that most of this new age way of tackling problems to be plain bullshit I'd still look into the medical aspects of keeping the mind as healthy as possible when dealing with severe medical conditions or traumas.
