Trapped In His Body For 12 Years, A Man Breaks Free : Shots - Health News : NPR
What would you do if you were locked in your body, your brain
intact but with no way to communicate? How do you survive emotionally
when you are invisible to everyone you know and love?
That's the first question asked by NPR's new program on human behavior, Invisibilia.
The first show tells the story of Martin Pistorius, who fell
into a mysterious coma as a young boy. He had only one thing left as his
mind began to function again — his own thoughts. Here's a glimpse into
his story.
Is there pus in milk?
Dairy farmers are paid more money for milk that has a low SCC, if our
cell count raises above normal levels they will dock the amount we get
paid for our milk, if it raises even higher they stop taking our milk
and we can’t sell it. So not only do we not want our cows to be sick, it
would cost us a lot of money and could cost us our farms if we were to
ignore a high SCC. Recently the dairy industry lowered the acceptable
SCC level from 750 to 400. Most dairy farms aim for a SCC
under 200. So does this mean that we are allowing some pus into your
milk? No. All milk is going to have some white blood cells in it, that’s
the nature of a product that comes from an animal, cells happen. It
does’t matter if it’s organic milk or regular milk. The presence of some
white blood cells in milk certainly doesn’t mean that the animal is
sick or the milk is of poor quality. Again, white blood cells are
normal. Additionally when you buy milk from the store it has been
pasteurized which kills off any white blood cells or bacteria that are
present in the raw milk.
So
the anti milk folks want to you to be grossed out by milk, but think
about this… A steak has white blood cells in it, because it has blood
and white blood cells are a part of that. The anti milk people aren’t
going around saying that your steak has pus in it because we can see
with our own eyes that it doesn’t. However, since we can’t see into our
milk like we can see a steak, anti milk activists use bad science to
scare you into believing their view point and that’s just not right!
Instead of using facts to persuade people to not drink milk they are
literally trying to make you terrified to eat or drink anything beyond
what they feel you should be eating and drinking. It’s time to take back
our food from the activists and let them know that it is not ok to use
false information to slander a food they don’t agree with. My cows are
mad and so am I!
‘Have you repented?’: Christian leaders criticize Trump’s endorsement by Jerry Falwell Jr
“The late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. would be rolling over in his grave if he
knew the son who bore his name had endorsed the most immoral and
ungodly man to ever run for President of the United States,” Stemberger
said in a statement to Politico. “It is one thing to allow the free
exchange of ideas, even bad ideas, among college students on a Christian
campus. It is quite another to give a glowing endorsement-like
introduction calling Donald Trump … This in no way represents the legacy
of Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr.”
The Flint disaster is Rick Snyder’s fault
Bush was attempting to muddy the proverbial water by portraying the
Flint debacle as a failure of government at all levels. Snyder attempted
the same diffusion of responsibility last week, saying that “government
failed you — federal, state and local leaders — by breaking the trust
you placed in us.”
But the Flint disaster, three years in the
making, is not a failure of government generally. It’s the failure of a
specific governing philosophy: Snyder’s belief that government works better if run more like a business.
No doubt, the federal Environmental Protection Agency deserves blame
for failing to sound warnings more loudly and publicly, and for being
too deferential to state authorities, once it learned last year that
high lead levels in Flint were poisoning children.
But EPA had no
role in the decisions that caused the problem, nor was it supposed to.
That was entirely the responsibility of Snyder’s administration and his
appointees.
Ted Cruz: God Is Helping Me 'Bring America Back From The Abyss
"I fear for America," he said. "If we keep on this path there comes a
point of no return and my prayer is that this awakening continues, that
the body of Christ rise up to pull us back from the abyss."
