@puert50160 @RobertW96576248 I have had one attack and now have two stents. I changed my diet to a keto one and started walking every day. I walked 1400miles last year and lost a lot of weight . I am now fitter than I was decades ago.

@A1an_M A nice thread Alan.

Just North of Hitchin in Hertfordshire there’s a railway junction. Trains for Cambridge leave the East Coast Mainline and pass over it via a recently built flyover.
But 60 years ago, there was another junction here, and another main line. Let's do a little exploring... 🙂 🧵1/14

@Battsby Plenty of room for a few more.

[Aero Crew News @AeroCrewNews]

AEROMED: While the aviation industry has long maintained that cabin air quality meets safety standards, there is mounting evidence to suggest that toxic fumes from aircraft engine oil, hydraulic fluids, and cleaners are causing a constellation of serious health problems in pilots, flight attendants, ground crew and frequent fliers—a condition known as Aerotoxic Syndrome.

Please sign this petition to end the addition of the synthetic drug folic acid to our flour.

It's being added with the claim it might prevent ~200 neural tube defects.

The trial that claim is based on resulted in 9 dead babies per 'saved' child.

Thanks @IATA for highlighting this critical safety message! In an emergency, EVERY. SECOND. COUNTS.
👂Listen carefully to your flight crew when they are giving instructions.
🏃Move quickly down the aisle to the nearest exit.
❌🧳And most importantly, leave your luggage.

Safety is a shared responsibility - any delay risks the safety of everyone on board!

We pasteurise milk to kill the bacteria, then sell people probiotic capsules to put the bacteria back, then sell them lactase tablets to digest the milk that used to digest itself.

Three products where the cow already provided one.

Genius, if you happen to own all three companies.

Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé ?

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.

I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.

One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”

I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”

She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”

“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”

She asked again, “Then why?”

I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.

Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.

🛫 Coventry Airport Closes after 90 Years

✈️ Coventry Airport is set to close permanently on June 11, 2026, ending a history that began in 1936 as Baginton Aerodrome. Flight operations already stopped in May, and the site is planned to become Greenpower Park, a major electric vehicle battery project.

🌍 The airport once served passenger routes to places such as the Channel Islands, Spain, France, Italy and Poland. Passenger flights ended in 2008, and the airport later continued mainly with training and charter operations.

Informed Consent...Cholesterol Lowering Statins Are One Of The Most Dangerous Drugs In Today's Modern World.

46% increase in 'new onset' Type 2 Diabetes.

For every 30 mg drop in Cholesterol, all cause mortality goes up 22%.

Lowering LDL below <70 mg/dL raises stroke risk 2X.

Lowering Cholesterol Is Dangerous & Harmful...
The Minnesota Coronary Experiment (MCE, 1968-73) showed that for every 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) decrease in serum cholesterol, resulted in a 22% higher risk of death from any cause.

Lowering LDL Can Be Deadly...
The 2019 study in Neurology Journal entitled, 'Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage' stated "when LDL levels are chemically lowered with a statin to <70 mg/dL (brain bleeds) hemorrhagic stroke increases by 2.1 times."

Statins Cause New Onset Type 2 Diabetes...
In the 2015, 6 year follow-up study of the METSIM cohort, "Participants on statin treatment had a 46% increased risk of type 2 diabetes."

Statins Do Not Benefit Any Meaningful Longevity...
In the BMJ Open, "The effect of statins on average survival in randomised trials" reports the median postponement of death for primary prevention trials was 3.2 days."

Common Statins & LDL Lowering Medications...
Rosuvastatin: (Crestor)
Atorvastatin: (Lipitor)
Simvastatin: (Zocor)
Fluvastatin: (Lescol)
Lovastatin: (Mevacor/Altoprev)
Pitavastatin: (Livalo)
Pravastatin: (Pravachol)

Non-Statin Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Causing Similar Side Effects...
Repatha (Evolocumab)
Zetia (Ezetimibe)
Nexletol (Bempodoic Acid)

Serious Adverse Events From Cholesterol Lowering Statins:
Widespread Muscle Pain
Muscle Tearing (Rhabdomyolysis)
Autoimmune Disease (Necrotizing Myopathy)
Aphasia
Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease
Cancer
Pancreatitis
Liver Inflammation & Damage
Type 2 Diabetes
Depression
Drug Induced Lupus
Parkinson's Disease
Hemorrhagic Stroke
Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)
Hormone Deficiency
Neurological Damage
Multiple Sclerosis Autoimmune
Fatigue & Weakness
Neuropathy
Heart Failure
Vertigo
Cognitive Impairment
Drug Induced Fibromyalgia

Saturated fat & cholesterol have no effect on CVD outcomes, including heart attacks, strokes, CVD mortality & total mortality.

Heart health is achieved by keeping triglycerides low & HDL high. Both of these are diet controlled. The ratio between the 2 levels should be less than 1.5 which indicates cardiovascular health.

Triglycerides lower quickly when sugar, seed oils, ultra processed foods, artificial ingredients & processed carbs are eliminated from the diet.

HDL can be raised by strength training & consuming animal sourced foods & saturated fats such as beef, bison, venison, eggs, butter, tallow & ghee.

When I was little, my mother pointed to a policeman wearing the old-fashioned helmet and said I must always find a PC if I was frightened or in trouble.
How many parents today would recommend their kid trust a police officer?
What a tragic decline thanks to a mad DEI cult.

David Miliband, who oversaw the previous Labour government's Climate Change Bill, can take responsibility for a policy that has cost us much more than £30 bn a year.

By some estimates, it's as much as £3 trillion lost already.

We pay approx. £12 bn just in green power subsidies.

Environmental taxes (including subsidies) cost us more than £50 billion a year, according to the ONS.

And then there are all the consequences of those high costs, including our deindustrialisation.

Europe's deindustrialisation -- especially Germany's -- makes closer relationship with them even more daft.

@DMiliband was not concerned with the economic consequences of the Climate Change Act in 2006/7/8. He said that "living within our means, environmentally" was the priority.

Meanwhile, cereal yields have tripled since the 1960's. Turns out a bit of extra warmth and more CO2 helps plants grow better.
