JOHN WHITEHEAD: Raub, who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, was forcibly taken from his home on August 16, 2012, by FBI agents and police in Chesterfield County, Va. and placed in a psychiatric ward against his will

Proof of just how amateurish "real" Twitter accounts are.  Here HustleBitch posts a scene where police show up to question a woman about her stance on LBGTQ rights.  A questions isn't jail.  A question isn't assault.  A question isn't murder.  In 2011, four different police agencies showed up at the door of Brandon Raub, a decorated Marine from the Iraq wars, lured him outside of his home, took him down in his gym clothes, handcuffed him, arrested and took him away to a psychiatric unit for evaluation all because he made a comment on a gaming platform that he was engaged in with multiple players.  John Whitehead breaks down what went down.

00:45.  The mattress one of the contributing factors to dementia is bad teeth.  When you see people with dementia and Alzheimer's, a lot of times it's because the periodontal disease.  The gingivitis migrates to your brain and causes problems. So we take them to the dentist, so they got to have dental insurance.  If we do hyperbaric oxygen therapy that's outside so that's going to cost you extra but I bought red light I bought saunas things like that so those kinds of things wrong included in the price that includes all your meals, carnivore or Keto, and that includes all the medication management.  We try to do activities, take them out to the local zoo or to Lake Pleasant for boat rides, take them to movies, and things like that.  I want them to feel like there's a purpose like your life is not over.  You can still go do stuff. 

1:44.  That pricing is incredible

His theory that respiratory injury to mitochondria caused cancer became deeply unfashionable as genetic mutations claimed the spotlight. Meanwhile, the ketogenic diet emerged from a completely different direction. In 1921, Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic developed a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that mimicked fasting for treating epilepsy. It worked brilliantly for seizures, but the advent of pharmaceutical anticonvulsants in the 1950s relegated dietary therapy to medicine’s dusty archives.

The modern renaissance arrived when Linda C. Nebeling published case reports in 1995 showing two pediatric brain cancer patients on ketogenic diets experienced a 21.8% decrease in tumor glucose uptake on PET scans after just eight weeks.

Enter Thomas Seyfried, the Boston College biologist who became the metabolic theory’s most vocal champion. His 2012 book “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease” argued persuasively that cancer is fundamentally a mitochondrial metabolic disease, with genetic mutations being downstream effects rather than primary causes.
