‘Revolutionary’ New Treatment can Lower Bad Cholesterol by up to 62% — with Just One Dose

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Pharma giant Eli Lilly announced Monday that its gene-editing therapy can reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by up to 62% with a single infusion.

Not only was the experimental treatment successful, but the results were still apparent in some participants 18 months after they received the dose.

While most gene therapies target rare disorders, this new treatment could lower the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US.

A single dose of VERVE-102 “switches off” a gene known as PCSK9 that plays a role in the amount of LDL cholesterol the liver can detect and remove from the bloodstream. Less PCSK9 means less bad cholesterol.

An early-stage trial published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine tracked 35 patients with heart disease or genetically high levels of LDL cholesterol. (Read more from “‘Revolutionary’ New Treatment can Lower Bad Cholesterol by up to 62% — with Just One Dose” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The frontman for the rock band Beartooth came out as gay on May 23, despite having been married to a woman for 14 years.

Caleb Shomo, the band’s lead singer, wrote in a post on Instagram that he felt “embarrassed” he avoided the truth for so long and “spent a decade burying feelings with alcohol.”

“There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late and I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further,” Shomo wrote. “I am a proudly gay man. This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now.”

The rockstar’s wife, Fleur Shomo, responded to her husband’s revelation in her own post on Instagram, according to USA Today. “The past few months have been a very disorientating and hurtful time to navigate,” she reportedly posted. “For both of us. But I will always want to love, protect and support Caleb. I have cared more about his well being over the years than anything else in the world.”

Her Instagram page has been set to private. (Read more from “Band Frontman Comes Out Gay After 14 Years Of Marriage. Wife Responds” HERE)

Top Psychiatrist Reveals How Reciting a 2,000-Year-Old Biblical Prayer Rewires your Brain

/0 Comments/in , /by

A leading psychiatrist has claimed that reciting a 2,000-year-old biblical prayer may physically reshape the human brain.

Dr Daniel Amen was a recent guest on the Mature Me podcast, hosted by Florida pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr, where he detailed the science behind saying the Lord’s Prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer, also known as the Our Father, is a foundational Christian prayer that, according to the Bible, Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him how to pray.

Amen, who is a devout Christian, broke down the prayer line-by-line, starting with the verse: ‘Our Father, in heaven, hallowed be your name.’

‘Right away, it activates your prefrontal cortex,’ he said, explaining that the opening lines of the prayer may activate the brain’s attachment systems and help shift the mind out of a threat response into a calmer state associated with safety and emotional stability.

Largest Children’s Hospital in US to Open ‘Detransition Clinic’ after $10M Settlement with Trump DOJ, State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a “detransition clinic” after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas.

The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas’ Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for “unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

“Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to ‘gender-transition’ procedures,” Paxton wrote.

“This Detransition Clinic will help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of “transitioning” them,” Paxton’s statement continued.

All services provided through the detransition clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and be free of charge to patients for the first five years of the clinic, according to Paxton.

‘Porn is Warping our Lives,’ admit Gen Z Men, who Reveal Their Addictions got ‘Totally out of Control’

/35 Comments/in , /by

Men now in their 20s are the first to grow up with easy access to pornography from childhood, and they say it changed how they see women and how they form and maintain relationships, a Post investigation has found.

Six heterosexual men in the age group each admitted they had habitually used pornography to a point where it became part of their daily routine.

“Starting in like middle school, it was like, I’d come home and watch porn after school and take a nap, and it became daily pretty quickly,” one man told The Post. “By the time I was 18, it was like two or three times a day.”

The 26-year-old from DC was only in sixth grade when he first encountered porn — and it transformed the way he saw the world around him. . .

He is a member of Gen Z, the first generation to have smartphones as tweens. With unfettered access to the internet in their pocket, many boys inevitably found their way to pornography. Today, the typical child first comes across porn at age 12, according to one survey.

“In the ’70s and the ’60s, people had to go to the dingy movie theaters, the red light districts. They had to actively seek good stuff out,” a 28-year-old from Florida said. “Now it’s in your pocket.” (Read more from “‘Porn is Warping our Lives,’ admit Gen Z Men, who Reveal Their Addictions got ‘Totally out of Control’” HERE)

The Capacity of Americans to Produce Babies Crashed to a Record Low in 2025

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Just in time for Mother’s Day, the CDC has published a report showing the total US fertility rate falling below 1.6 births per woman of reproductive age.

That’s a 1% decline from 2024 and a 23% drop since 2007 — and far below the 2.1 births per woman needed just to keep our population stable.

As with so many other aspects of contemporary life, we seem to have offshored the manufacture of human beings.

There should be nothing startling or unusual about this trend. It’s in line with the expressed opinions of large swaths of the great American public.

According to a 2024 poll, the share of American adults under 50 who have sworn off the messy business of reproduction increased from 37% in 2018 to 47% in 2023.

In an even more remarkable finding, only 48% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 think raising a family is a particularly important life goal. (Read more from “The Capacity of Americans to Produce Babies Crashed to a Record Low in 2025” HERE)

Michael Jackson’s ‘Secret Family’ Reveals Disturbing Child Sex Abuse Claims Against Late Pop Star: ‘He was a monster’; Elton John, Liz Taylor Homes Implicated

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Four siblings who were part of Michael Jackson’s “secret family” revealed in an interview Sunday the vile ways the late pop star allegedly groomed and sexually abused them as children.

The Cascio family sat down with “60 Minutes Australia” on Sunday night to describe how Jackson allegedly sexually abused all of them as children and supplied them copious drugs and alcohol after wooing their family with lavish gifts and fame.

The four siblings filed a lawsuit in February, alleging Jackson was a serial child sex predator who sexually abused victims at the homes of Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John.

“He’s a monster, he’s evil, what he did was evil. And he’s tricked the whole world to think he’s this innocent, perfect human being, and he’s not,” Dominic Cascio told “60 Minutes.”

The Cascios’ father, Dominic Sr., met Jackson in the 1980s while working at the Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York City. He quickly became part of the singer’s inner circle and his family would often spend holidays at Neverland Ranch and travel the world with the King of Pop.

One of the siblings, Eddie, 43, recalled on the broadcast that he met the “Thriller” singer when he was only 2 — when Jackson began visiting the family’s New York home on late nights unannounced.

Britain’s First Homosexual ‘Parent’ via Baby Purchase Charged with Rape, Sexual Exploitation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, the 57-year-old multimillionaire owner of Isthmian League football club Maldon and Tiptree, has long been an advocate for homosexuals acquiring children, specifically through surrogacy.

In 1999, Drewitt-Barlow and Tony Barlow became Britain’s first homosexual couple registered as “parents” through surrogacy, having purchased twins for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Altogether, the couple ended up buying five children from four surrogate mothers in the United States before Drewitt-Barlow left his “husband” for the young ex-boyfriend of one of the girls in his care.

With his new squeeze, Scott Drewitt-Barlow — and his ex temporarily living with them in a Florida mansion — the homosexual activist quickly obtained another child through in vitro fertilization, and then another two.

While Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has drawn ample criticism over his manner of acquiring babies, he is now in hot water for his alleged dealings with an older demographic.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow — who claimed on British television last year that he paid a super model over $68,000 for her eggs to reduce the risk of having an “ugly” child — and his 32-year-old “husband,” Scott, were arrested in Essex, U.K., on Wednesday and slapped with numerous sexual assault and sexual exploitation charges.

2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maryland Democrat Gov. Wes Moore said he would not stop his 14-year-old son from identifying as the opposite sex if that is “a journey that he wants to go down,” although he later said he would not support the use of puberty blockers.

Moore, who is running for reelection this year and has also been pitched as a 2028 Democrat presidential candidate, made the remark during an interview on The Patrick Bet-David podcast that was released on Tuesday. The conversation lasted two hours and covered a variety of topics besides transgenderism, including the California homelessness crisis, the Iran war, and gerrymandering.

When Moore was specifically asked if he would allow his young son to identify as transgender, he said, “You know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless.”

“And he’s always going to have my undying love. That’s me, right? I want to make sure that I’m involved in understanding where he is, how he’s feeling, the way he’s feeling, why he thinks it’s important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin, and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey,” he continued.

When asked if he would tell his son to wait until he is 18 years old to identify as a woman, he replied: “If this is how he is feeling, and I feel like I’m closely tied to him, I’m not going to advise him on something that he feels is right.” (Read more from “2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex” HERE)

Newborn Babies are Internally Bleeding to Death — a Troubling Parenting Trend is to Blame

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Doctors across the country are seeing an alarming rise in newborns bleeding to death — and a concerning trend by parents is the culprit.

While all initially healthy at birth, a 7-week-old boy from Maryland experienced sudden seizures, a Kentucky newborn threw up before becoming lethargic and a girl in Alabama stopped breathing for several seconds at a time before they died, as reported this week by ProPublica.

Their conditions could have easily been prevented with one standard recommendation at birth, which parents are refusing in droves.

The babies developed vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB), a rare but potentially fatal condition that can be averted with a single vitamin K shot.

Vitamin K plays an essential role in our bodies, and it’s especially important for newborns.

“Babies are born with a limited amount of clotting factors that get used up pretty quickly,” Dr. Candice Foy, a pediatrician and medical director of the newborn nursery at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, previously told The Post.
