A Free Press article published last Saturday is titled, “My Mom Was Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s. Then She Got Better.” The sub-head reads, “My family experienced a miracle last year. It began with a tragedy.”
No, the piece is not about some bullshit “natural” cure for Alzheimer’s. The author’s mother was diagnosed with the disease. From the article:
“In January 2023, my mom went into the hospital to have a small surgical procedure, meant to patch a leak of spinal fluid. Instead, it cured her of all her symptoms. In just a few weeks, she became the person she had been 20 years prior: a healthy mother of three, who makes my dad howl with laughter. It turns out she never had Alzheimer’s. It was a misdiagnosis.
As a family, we are still trying to make sense of how this happened. My mom had been treated in New York City’s best hospitals, by world-leading authorities on Alzheimer’s. But somehow she had fallen through the cracks of a fragmented medical-research system, which failed my mom—then saved her.”
An old saying goes, “If you have a hammer then everything looks like a nail.” ALL OF US have biases, even doctors and scientists. I am NOT saying to stop using traditional medical avenues. I AM saying it’s OK to question, it’s OK to get multiple opinions.
Science, which includes medicine, is supposed to be an open-ended, open-minded exploration of the natural world. It is NOT supposed to be, “We know better than you so we have the right to make you behave according to our beliefs and to “cancel” you if you don’t agree.”
Yes, I have written much of the previous paragraph before. However, I think it’s a message worth repeating.

Hail Israel! This piece reports on a daring raid by IDF commandos in which they breached an underground facility in Syria in September–this was before the Assad regime had been toppled and before Israel decapitated Hezbollah–used by the Iranians to build missiles and completely destroyed it.
The Iranian government is one of the main sources of evil in the world. The day the mullahs are overthrown will be a great day.

This Newsweek piece is about the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and its implication for the “Modern Progressive Movement.” As I have written, I firmly believe that modern “progressives” are nothing of the sort, but a group who want to go back to a type of feudalism/serfdom where government is the master and the rest of us are serfs.
