Dysautonomia gets written off as permanent far more often than it should be.
A nervous system stuck on high alert can often get brought back down, slowly, with the right work.
BREAKING: White House doctors are reportedly asking Natalie Harp not to do anything "intimate" with Donald Trump because, if he takes a Viagra, it will likely interfere with his weak heart, clogged arteries, two-dozen medications, and experimental weight loss pills and kill him.
BREAKING: It appears we have the SECOND HIGHEST thunderstorm wind gust ever directly recorded in the United States.
Winds to 131 mph – equivalent to an EF2 tornado – were measured around 6:15 a.m. in central South Dakota.
There were multiple corroborating measurements AND several additional gusts over 110 mph nearby.
Based on everything we can find, these are the strongest straight-line thunderstorm gusts to be directly-measured since August 1, 1983, when a microburst hit Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Just seven minutes earlier, Air Force One had landed with Ronald Reagan. A gust to 149.5 mph was clocked.
A derecho, or violent straight-line wind storm, did impact the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area with 140 mph winds on August 10, 2020; several transmission towers were felled and up to 8,000 buildings damaged or destroyed. But the strongest directly-measured gust was 126 mph in Atkins, Iowa.
"You are in a life-threatening situation," warned the Weather Service in Aberdeen on Monday morning. "Flying debris may be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Expect considerable damage to homes and businesses. Expect extensive tree damage and power outages."
Much of the impact-based verbiage was borrowed from the Weather Service's template for tornado warnings. Only on rare occasions is that phrasing used in severe thunderstorm warnings. That said, the impacts were similar.
"This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION with tornado-like wind speeds expected," wrote the Weather Service.
The storms accompanied a warm front lifting through the region. Despite the early time of day, there were between 5,000 and 6,000 units of thunderstorm fuel; 1,000-2,000 is enough to fuel severe thunderstorms.
The storms were effectively able to grow tall and tap into jet stream energy, mixing momentum to the surface.
It is unclear if Monday's storm will be classified as a derecho. While the winds were surely sufficient, a derecho must produce a damage path about 250 miles long. Moreover, historical definitions required a wind swath 60 miles wide. This bow echo may have been slightly too narrow. The Storm Prediction Center will have the final say.
Some Long COVID and ME/CFS studies suggest oxygen can reach the bloodstream but working tissues may remove and use less of it during exercise. A pulse oximeter cannot show this part of the process.
Let's break it down 🧵
My patient lost almost no weight on semaglutide. His liver healed. His blood pressure dropped. His sleep apnea lifted. His knees stopped hurting. He barely moved the scale and got better everywhere else.
I'd been measuring the wrong thing for years. 🧵
HOLY CRAP! A storm in South Dakota is producing winds up to 131 miles per hour. That is nearly the equivalent of an EF3 tornado (136mph) That is absolutely ridiculous.
This also includes lemon sized hail, which will produce devastating property and crop damage at wind speeds like this. If you know anyone in the path of this, tell them to stay weather aware. The storm is just southwest of Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade... yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.
It’s never been about protecting children... wake up.
A Kentucky church reportedly staged a fake execution during Vacation Bible School... with realistic-looking guns... while children chanted, "Take him out! Blow him up!"
I wish I were making this up.

Nobody “adapts” to this rate of climate change.
When it’s 130F in your home you just die of heat stroke.
That’s coming for millions soon, not just hundreds.
