Around 29 million people in the US take a daily dose of aspirin as a preventative measure for cardiovascular disease. And while an age-related increased risk of bleeding has seen it fall out of favor with medical authorities, it's now shaping up as something that might be even more beneficial in triggering the immune system to help take down certain cancers. There's been a growing body of research showing that regular, long-term low-dose aspirin use was associated with better outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC). But scientists haven't been entirely sure just why the common over-the-counter medicine was having a distinctive...

NATIONAL CHERRY CHEESECAKE DAY April 23rd recognizes the food holiday National Cherry Cheesecake Day. Cookbooks and bakers offer a large variety of recipes for cherry cheesecake. Some cherry cheesecake recipes call for the cherries to be mixed into the batter and others place the cherries on top. #CherryCheesecakeDay This smooth dessert hits the spot when the end of the meal rolls around. While most cakes have a crumb, cheesecake’s texture is nothing like cake. Indeed, its creamy, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient. Depending on the recipe, either cream cheese or cottage cheese...

On Saturday, March 23, police cars were seen arriving at Planned Parenthood Chapel Hill around 10 a.m. No ambulance arrived, leading witnesses to wonder what other type of emergency was taking place. 911 records obtained by Operation Rescue revealed that a 16-year-old girl confided in Planned Parenthood staff that she was being forced to have an abortion by others waiting outside of the building and procedure room. There were multiple people with her, including her boyfriend and at least one parent. The Planned Parenthood staffer stated she thought the boyfriend was also a minor, but she never confirmed it for...

On Good Friday, March 29, 2024, I I cut my hand and had to go to the nearby Urgent Care her in Phoenix. They stitched up my hand and scheduled me to come back in a couple of weeks to get the stitches removed. When I went back, the Urgent Care center got masky in the meantime. I told them I would wait outside, and "You do know that the studies now show that the masks don't do anything useful." When I came in, I did put the mask on over my mouth, but not my nose. When I was...

(LifeSiteNews) –– Real Time host Bill Maher may be one of the strangest anomalies on late night TV. He is an environmentalist who is staunchly pro-abortion – chillingly, he openly admits that pro-lifers are right, that feticide is murder, but says he supports it anyway because he’s concerned about overpopulation. He is an atheist who has made an enormous amount of money sneering about religion, most famously in his documentary Religulous. He was a good friend of Hugh Hefner, the pornography king recently exposed as a sexual predator. But he is also beginning to openly question the LGBT agenda. His...

Crises have the power to expose tensions within ideologies, and the current pandemic has made some of those in contemporary American conservatism vividly apparent. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is not only fighting a COVID-19 infection—he’s also on the front lines of a clash within conservatism. The Republican has declared his state “the Freedom Capital of America.” He has consistently prioritized cutting regulations on business, and in a 2018 opinion column boasted, “Innovation and self-reliance are deeply rooted in the Lone Star State, and when freed from the stranglehold of over taxation and overregulation, new ideas flourish. By limiting...

Former Knicks guard Nate Robinson made a sobering admission that he doesn’t have long to live if he can’t find a new kidney. Robinson, 39, revealed in October 2022 he was undergoing treatment for renal kidney failure, which he had been dealing with for four years. “I know that I don’t have long if I can’t get a kidney,” Robinson, a Knicks fan favorite, told the Daily Mail. “I know I’m not going to have long to live. So I just want to make the best of it as much as I can. “Some people’s body reject dialysis. And thank...

I urgently prompted my Dr. for more than 1 year for prevention and treatment protocols for possibly imminent, high lethality viruses. She's a good Dr. but her training gets in the way of giving a straight answer. The following very simple elements use 1) an inexpensive Dr. Z. protocol, 2) saline and very dilute hydrogen peroxide administered via home nebulizer, and 3) low-dose lithium from Dr. Michael Nehls. The protocol of the late Dr. Zev Zelenko, with which he suffered only 1 demise among 7,000 patients, uses Vitamin D, zinc, quercetin to substitute for hydroxychloroquine (generally unavailable because prescription only)...

April 19 (UPI) -- An animal rescue group in Connecticut said a pair of drunk vultures were treated with fluids and "a big breakfast" before being released. A Place Called Hope said in a Facebook post that the "dynamic duo" had been "dumpster diving" and ended up eating something "that was fermented enough to cause severe intoxication." The rescue said the vultures were initially thought to be seriously ill, but testing confirmed they were merely "too drunk to fly." "They only needed fluids and to be tucked in overnight... and fed a BIG breakfast the next day," the post said....

For about a century, the novelty of horse diving from great heights into a tiny tank of water was all the rage in America. And was every bit crazy as it sounds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VIDEOS AT LINK............... A horse takes a practice dive at Atlantic City's Steel Pier Park in 1978. (John Margolies, Library of Congress) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Readers will inevitably take sides with this story. There will be outrage. Decidedly, animal rights activists for sure will howl with rage. The intent is not to spark debate or rekindle old controversy. What’s done is done, live and learn. In many ways, we...

As previously reported, Operation Rescue has seen an increase in medical emergencies since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, especially in leftist cities and states that have turned into abortion destinations – such as Illinois. This time, on-site pro-life eyewitnesses saw two emergencies on the same day at the University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The information was provided by Abortion Free New Mexico. First Emergency: According to eyewitnesses, a woman was taken to an ambulance on a gurney around 2:30 p.m. on April 10, 2024. Another ambulance, a police car and a fire...

The stockpiling of abortion pills “just in case” is on the rise. Could this be the “elephant in the room” that explains, at least in part, why abortion numbers are increasing? In 2023, abortions reached the highest reported number in over a decade, as abortion pill use climbed to 63% of the “estimated 1,026,690 abortions [which] occurred in the formal health care system in 2023,” according to data recently released by the Guttmacher Institute, a former research arm and “special affiliate” of Planned Parenthood. And while Guttmacher claimed its abortion pill counts don’t include those that “take place outside of...

Managing a stroke victim's blood sugar levels after they receive powerful clot-busting drugs might help them survive their health crisis, a new trial finds. People with high blood sugar levels were more likely to suffer a potentially deadly brain bleed after clot-busters reopened their blocked brain arteries, researchers found. The risk was particularly high in older patients with more severe strokes. "These data suggest that more focus and research is needed on the management of high blood sugar in the treatment of stroke patients, particularly those with higher risk, more severe strokes," said Dr. Andrew Southerland. For the study, researchers...

“Saturday Night Live” joked about abortion last weekend during its “Weekend Update” segment, focusing the ‘joke’ specifically on Arizona’s recent state Supreme Court decision to allow a longstanding pro-life law, put in place in 1864 to go into effect. “Reinstating laws from 1864 isn’t the worst thing for me, because I’m a white landowner,” co-host Colin Jost said. “And a proud Freemason.” Jost, who is white, and co-host Michael Che, who is Black, have a running racism joke between them with Che often joking that Jost is racist. “But it’s probably not great to adopt healthcare rules from a time...

The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, the former research arm of Planned Parenthood, recently said that state laws meant to protect teenage girls are “worrying.” In a new video, the organization’s Principal Policy Associate, Kimya Forouzan, spoke about why Guttmacher thinks laws preventing non-parental adults from taking teens across state lines for abortions is “dangerous.” “As of March 27th [2024], four states — Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Oklahoma — have introduced bills specifically targeting young people who travel out of state for abortion care,” said Forouzan, continuing: The bill has died in Mississippi but is still under consideration in Alabama, Tennessee, and...

A vote to stockpile abortion pills in order to reduce “greenhouse gas emissions” of “individuals traveling to specific destinations for this medication” proposed by the San Diego county Board of Supervisors has failed for now, according to the Times of San Diego. Live Action News previously documented efforts at the state level to procure the deadly drugs, but this is the first known attempt by a county to stockpile abortion pills. Attempts to justify abortion pill stockpiling as an ‘imperative’ drug to treat ‘pregnancy losses’ The San Diego Board of Supervisors consists of five members. Only three members were present...

Researchers from the University of Cologne have found a new use for cnicin, a substance produced in blessed thistle. Blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is a plant in the family Asteraceae and also grows in our climate. For centuries, it has been used as a medicinal herb as an extract or tea, e.g. to aid the digestive system. Researchers at the Center for Pharmacology of University Hospital Cologne and at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cologne have now found a completely novel use for cnicin under the direction of Dr. Philipp Gobrecht and Professor Dr. Dietmar Fischer. Animal...

A caregiver has been caught viciously beating a 93-year-old dementia patient with a soiled diaper before trying to choke her out in horrific footage released by police. Dontia Shawnra Arrington, 26, has been charged for allegedly assaulting the vulnerable patient at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4. The attack was caught on nanny cam, which was placed in the victim's room after her daughter noticed 'handprint bruises' on her mother as far back as December. 'I'm watching and all I kept saying was, 'My mom,' you know? 'Why are you doing this to my mom?' She's...
