Model Elle Macpherson Refused Chemo Following Secret Breast Cancer Diagnosis Seven Years Ago

/0 Comments/in , /by

Supermodel Elle Macpherson is discussing a cancer diagnosis she received seven years ago and how she refused to do traditional treatments despite medical recommendations.

The 60-year-old celebrity is opening up about what happened in advance of her new book, “Elle,” which is being released in November.

“It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in so many ways,” Macpherson told The Australian Women’s Weekly of being diagnosed with breast cancer. “And it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me… I realized I was going to need my own truth, my belief system to support me through it. And that’s what I did.”

Despite the model’s doctor recommending a mastectomy with chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy, Macpherson opted for “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” instead, which earned her mixed reactions from family members. . .

“I chose a holistic approach. Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. But saying no to my own inner sense would have been even harder,” she wrote in her book.

Study: Weight Loss Drugs Lowered Coronavirus Deaths by 33 Percent

/1 Comment/in , /by

People on weight loss drugs — such as Ozempic and Wegovy — have a significantly lower chance of dying or suffering harsh effects from coronavirus, studies that the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) published found.

Subjects who were already on a 2.4 milligram (mg) dose of semaglutide, the active ingredient in drugs that help the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high and may decrease one’s appetite, had “consistently lower rates” of dying of any cause over the trial period, researchers found.

The research was led by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and financially backed by Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, according to the Harvard Gazette.

Over the mean trial duration of 3.3 years, 17,604 cardiovascular disease patients 45 years old or older with a BMI (body mass index) of 27 kg/m^2 or more — overweight — were observed by the researchers taking either semaglutide or a placebo.

Although the study started before the coronavirus pandemic, researchers said that “the most severe periods [of the outbreak] were concurrent with the ongoing trial, thus providing the opportunity to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on patients who were at high risk of COVID-19-related complications and death given their underlying comorbidities.” (Read more from “Study: Weight Loss Drugs Lowered Coronavirus Deaths by 33 Percent” HERE)

A transgender Italian Paralympics runner failed to qualify for the 400 M sprint in the women’s T-12 category after placing third in a semifinal competition.

Valentina Petrillo, a biological male, qualified for the semi-finals at the Paris Paralympics with a time of 58.35 seconds in the first round. However, during the semi-finals, Petrillo received a time of 57.58 seconds and came in third, according to Fox News.

Hagar Safrarzadeh Ghahderijani, an Iranian Paralympic athlete, finished with a time of 56.07, while Alejandra Paolo Perez Lopez, a Venezuelan Paralympic athlete, finished second with a time of 56.34.

Petrillo began running when he was younger; however, upon finding out he had Stargardt disease at 14, he stopped, and it wasn’t until Petrillo was 41 that he began competing in para-athletic competitions as a male, according to the Athletic.

Symptoms of Stargardt disease include, “slow loss of central vision in both eyes,” as well as “gray, black, or hazy spots in the center of your vision,” “sensitivity to light,” and “color blindness,” according to the National Eye Institute.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Missouri police say they arrested a 25-year-old woman for sexually molesting a 13-year-old girl she met while attending a church.

St. Louis County Police said they were alerted to the alleged abuse by the victim’s mother, who went to police after reading her daughter’s diary.

Police identified the suspect as Brandi James and held her at the county justice center on a bond of $300,000. She is charged with one count of child molestation and two counts of statutory sodomy or attempted statutory sodomy.

An investigation produced cellphone messages that allegedly support police allegations that James had engaged in sodomy with the child at least two times. The victim reportedly spoke to police about the incidents.

Police believe that James met the child while they both attended the House of Deliverance church in Bridgeton. (Read more from “Woman Allegedly Molested 13-Year-Old Girl She Met While Attending Church, Police Say” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, seems to have tripled down on her apparent Trump support in the face of haters. . .

After intense backlash, Mahomes appeared to remove the like on social media. Still, according to Fox News, the former soccer player “appeared to like several comments on her most recent Instagram post that indicated support for Trump.”

One of the comments she liked said “TRUMP-VANCE 2024.”

The other comment referenced her recent social media activity that has suggested support for Trump and drawn backlash from those who do not support the former president. That comment said, “Glad to see you aren’t backing down. We are all entitled to our own opinions and shouldn’t be bullied into submission.”

Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, appeared to like the second comment.

An Oregon high school principal sent a surprising message to parents about a teacher’s gender transition.

Scott Gragg, the principal of McNary High School in Keizer, recently shared a message from Diesel Technology teacher Tristan Thiel, who announced that she transitioned over the summer and asked the public to accept her new identity.

‘I’m confident that our McNary family will do an amazing job of supporting her in this journey,’ Gragg wrote in the notice to parents and students, obtained by the popular Libs of TikTok X account. . .

Gragg, a former NFL player, went on to share Thiel’s email [he] sent to [his] own students, in which [he] says [he] is ‘happy to announce that I have decided to transition my gender identity from male to female.’

‘This letter is meant to inform students, their parents and guardians that I have decided to return to school identifying as my authentic self, the woman (she, her, miss) I truly am,’ Thiel wrote in the letter shared on social media.

Former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards at DNC: Abortion Makes Women ‘Unstoppable’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood, said during a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Wednesday night that women are “unstoppable” when they are able to have their unborn babies aborted.

“When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and follow our dreams, we are unstoppable. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, a generation of young people lost that freedom,” claimed Richards, who was president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and of Planned Parenthood Action Fund from 2006 to 2018.

Richards then mourned the existence of a baby who was born to a 12-year-old rape survivor in Mississippi — a baby whom she appeared to suggest should have been aborted — while celebrating the birth of her own grandchild.

“Like Ashley, a 12-year-old rape survivor in Mississippi. Because of her state’s abortion ban, she started seventh grade with a newborn. That’s the Republican promise of state’s rights,” Richards said.

“Last year, I became a grandmother. And during my daughter’s pregnancy, nothing mattered more to me than her health. Politics should never stand in the way of anyone’s healthcare or prevent any family from experiencing the joy my grandson Teddy has brought to my life,” she continued, before calling for the election of Kamala Harris, who has refused to cite any abortion restrictions she supports.

Major Christian Denomination Dumping ‘Church’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For Christians who have not given in to the ultra-liberal, progressive moves some organizations that call themselves churches have adopted, this will not be a surprise.

It’s that the “Church” of England apparently has decided it no longer is a church.

Some of those leftist entities, while originally established by Bible-believing individuals, have strayed. They have LGBT-promoting ceremonies, advocate for abortion and more.

The British institute, while not as far down the progressive road as some entities, still has made it clear that its future is liberal and progressive.

It is Fox News that is reporting it is dropping the word “church,” “in the hopes of drawing in more crowds.” (Read more from “Major Christian Denomination Dumping ‘Church'” HERE)

Boston Red Sox Give Suspended Player’s Salary to a Group Supporting the Surgical Mutilation of Minors

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Boston Red Sox are giving the suspension salary of one of their players to a radical LGBT group that supports the chemical and surgical mutilation of minors.

On Monday, the organization announced the suspension of Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, who was caught on a hot mic using a slur often directed at gay people to describe a heckler in the audience. The incident occurred during the Red Sox’s Sunday matchup against the Houston Astros. . .

In addition to being suspended for the team’s Monday and Tuesday games against the Texas Rangers, Duran’s salary for those two games was stripped by the Red Sox and given to the pro-LGBT organization known as PFLAG. That two-game salary amounts to $8,172, according to ESPN.

What many pearl-clutching “journalists” will not disclose, however, is that PFLAG is an extreme LGBT advocacy group that supports the “transing” of children. The organization has openly opposed legislation protecting minors from these harmful and often irreversible procedures.

Last year, for example, PFLAG National filed a lawsuit against North Carolina after the Tarheel State’s Republican-controlled general assembly passed a bill making it unlawful for medical professionals to “perform a surgical gender transition procedure on a minor or to prescribe, provide, or dispense puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones to a minor.” Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the measure but was overridden by the legislature. (Read more from “Boston Red Sox Give Suspended Player’s Salary to a Group Supporting the Surgical Mutilation of Minors” HERE)
