SAMA HOOLE: Between seven and twelve months, the heads of the beef babies grew faster. The amount of zinc and protein a baby took in predicted how much its head grew.

In Colorado, researchers gave breastfed babies puréed beef as their very first solid food instead of the iron-fortified cereal on every weaning chart, and the beef babies grew bigger heads. Nancy Krebs took 88 babies, breastfed and four months old, and split them at random. From five months, half were spoon-fed puréed beef. Half got the iron-fortified baby cereal American paediatricians had handed out as first food for generations. The babies took to the beef just as happily as the cereal. Between seven and twelve months, the heads of the beef babies grew faster. The amount of zinc and protein a baby took in predicted how much its head grew. Her team kept going. Breastfed babies given more protein from meat grew longer, without putting on extra fat. Then they took formula-fed babies and gave half of them meat purée and half of them yoghurt, cheese and whey from five months to a year. The meat babies climbed up the growth charts for length. The dairy babies slipped down them, and got heavier for their height instead. At two years old, the difference was still there. The World Health Organization now says babies should have meat, fish or eggs every day from six months if they can. The jar on the supermarket shelf still says baby rice.

JOHN FABBRICATORE: This is what happens if the left wins. Hordes of illegals descend on the United States, looking to take what isn't theirs. The false promises made to them by Democrat policy are what drive these caravans.

EDWARD: Trump walked in on May 1st.. endorsed Andy Barr.. offered the only real rival an ambassadorship.. and the rival dropped out the same week.

As we approach the epic levels of operations this weekend before the election I am resurrecting this thread to remind everyone just what the stakes are on Tuesday. 6 months ago after the Kentucky primary cost clown shoes Thomas Massie his seat in Congress and all the pro-freedumb types lost their minds I laid out for everyone the essential parts of the op that was Thomas Massie I took a lot of heat for this, threw hands here a lot, but now with hindsight and all the other things happening right now, do you still believe the tale you were told about Trump, Epstein, Iran etc.? Read the thread and the replies and judge for yourself

from Edward, 

Do you understand what quietly happened in Kentucky tonight.. Mitch McConnell spent 41 years building the most powerful Republican machine in the Senate.. he blocked nominees.. killed legislation.. outlasted six presidents.. and bent the entire GOP caucus to his will for four decades.. and the moment he stepped back.. Trump walked in on May 1st.. endorsed Andy Barr.. offered the only real rival an ambassadorship.. and the rival dropped out the same week. Cameron — the man who was supposed to carry McConnell's network forward — entered with a polling lead.. raised money.. had the name recognition.. had the Christian conservative base.. Barr had none of that early.. until Trump made one phone call and one diplomatic offer.. > Cameron finished at 30%.. Barr won with 60%.. > the seat McConnell held since 1984 flipped to a Trump loyalist in a single primary night.. > the first open Kentucky Senate seat in 42 years.. decided by an endorsement and an ambassadorship.. every single establishment figure watching this tonight told their donors "the McConnell network is durable".. every single one assumed the old machine had enough infrastructure to survive his retirement.. it didn't survive a single election cycle.. not a scandal.. not a Democrat.. not a generational shift.. one endorsement.. one ambassadorship offer.. and 41 years of political infrastructure collapsed in an evening.. the quiet part nobody is saying out loud.. Trump didn't just win a primary tonight.. he erased the last internal friction point inside the Senate Republican caucus without a single floor vote.. it's only getting quieter from here..

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications.  

SAMA HOOLE: Doctors had noticed for centuries that fasting quieted epilepsy.

A diet that stopped children's seizures was found at the Mayo Clinic in 1921, and it took the director of Airplane! to drag it back out of the textbook seventy years later. Doctors had noticed for centuries that fasting quietened epilepsy. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic worked out why. A body without food runs on ketones, made from fat. So he built a diet that kept the body there while still feeding it. Mostly fat, some protein, almost no carbohydrate. He called it the ketogenic diet, and for years it was a standard treatment for children with epilepsy. Then the anti-seizure drugs arrived, and the diet was quietly dropped. It took work to run and nobody sold it. 1993. Jim Abrahams, who made Airplane!, has a baby son called Charlie having seizures every day. The drugs fail one after another. Abrahams finds the diet in a library book and gets Charlie to Johns Hopkins, one of the few hospitals still using it. Within days the seizures stop. Abrahams set up a foundation, made a film about it starring Meryl Streep, and spent the rest of his life asking why nobody had told him. In 2008 a trial in London finally tested it on children whose epilepsy no drug could control. Four in ten on the diet had their seizures cut by more than half. On usual care, six in a hundred. A plate of fat beat the pharmacy on the hardest cases in children's medicine. It is still offered only after at least two drugs have failed.
