People often ask me how a “brain dead” person could possibly recover. Dr. Cicero Coimbra, a Brazilian neurologist, describes how this happens in the post below.
Basically, after an injury, the brain’s blood flow is decreased due to swelling. When brain blood flow decreases below 50% of normal, the brain (like any other organ) shuts down its functions to save energy. The EEG becomes flatline and the person stops responding to testing.
But brain tissue destruction doesn’t occur until brain blood flow drops below 20% of normal for several hours.
So, between 20-50% of normal brain blood flow the person will appear “brain dead,” but with continued efforts to restore blood flow, recovery is still possible.
This is like a power outage in your home: nothing works, but the wiring isn’t destroyed. Get the current flowing again, and the lights will come back on.
Similarly, with continued efforts to restore cerebral blood flow, the “lights” can potentially come back on for some of these neurologically injured people as well.
A man ended his unborn son this week because the boy had Down syndrome. Thousands of strangers called him brave.
There is nothing new under the sun. Rome left its weak infants on the hill to die while rich women carried pampered lapdogs through the streets. We did not get kinder. We just moved the hill onto a screen and added applause.
I wrote about it today. About that, and about my grandson Blake. Sixteen pounds, just off oxygen, and the reason three generations of my family are stronger than they have ever been.
The weak are not the curse. The heart that refuses them is.
Read it. Then send it to a father who needs to hear it.

This is INSANE.
AIPAC controls 76% of the members of Congress, regardless of which party they belong to.
There’s def a uniparty, but it looks much different than I could have ever imagined.
I NEVER looked or paid attention to any of this until they took out Thomas Massie.
This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.
At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.
Children are a gift from God.
@strawberrylilss@eboifrend@blorp117@FearedBuck My dad died 32 years ago. Besides that, he was the ultimate womanizer. But that has nothing to do with the problem that you have - thinking that sperm are living human beings 🤦🏻♀️
@eboifrend@KurrKurr76@blorp117@FearedBuck So you’re supposed to be some kind of hero for “supporting” the slaughter of the innocent & most vulnerable party in the conflict? I’ve gone a step further and imagined what it would take for all to prosper & benefit - not just the wage slaves.
@clavowner@Yu41221775@ImMrNoPass@N_ticx@FearedBuck Do you not understand what a conversation is? No, I’m not repeating what you said per se. I’m exposing the slippery slope of ungrounded moral principles. I was an atheist for 40 years. I assure you - there is only one arbiter of truth & morality. Everything else is corruption.
Abortion is murder. Full stop. It never should have been legalized or normalized in any civilized society.
It just brought out all the irresponsible people who can't handle responsibility and think baby m*rder is ok.
All baby lives matter.
A scientist was hired by a chemical company to study its weedkiller. He found it was castrating and feminizing frogs. So the company stopped studying the chemical and started studying him. This is the documented story of atrazine. 🧵
If this was 1776, John Thune and the rest of the Washington grifters would be chased out of the halls of Congress straight into the Potomac River by patriotic men with bayonets and pitchforks. This level of treason would never have been tolerated.
California is going to take 37 days to count 9 million mail in ballots with 0 of the voters showing ID.
This is totally fine with John Thune.
Think about that.
Rep. Ro Khanna says it was Benjamin Netanyahu who ordered Congress to insert Section 224 into the 2027 NDAA, which would coordinate and expand U.S.-Israel military cooperation.
He says Nethanyahu needs to be kicked to the curb.
"The American people are tired of the arrogance of Benjamin Netanyahu telling America what we should do."
RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”
Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.
