Joshua McAdams and Taylor Bland-Ball had fled Florida but were forced to return. Handouts
A Florida judge has ruled that a 4-year-old boy with cancer
must remain with his grandparents because he faces "imminent risk of
neglect" with his parents, who denied him chemo treatment. Joshua
McAdams and Taylor Bland-Ball are now required to undergo psychological
evaluations to determine if they may be reunited with their son, who is
battling leukemia. If they don't, they risk losing custody, according to the judge's decision issued Monday.
"Parents
have a fundamental right to parent their child, but that is not one
without limits," Judge Thomas Palermo said as he issued his decision,
the Tampa Bay Times reported.
The
parents' legal battle began in April, when little Noah was diagnosed.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office put out an endangered child
alert after the child missed several chemo appointments. The family
couldn't be immediately located, but they were later found in Kentucky,
where his parents were treating him with natural remedies including CBD
oil, authorities said.
Ok… I’m not trying to start anything here (but I will anyway), but there are some numbers that really bother me.
A
recent General Account Office report states that some doctors
(specifically oncologists, specializing in cancer treatments) actually
get a HUGE discount on certain drugs.. up to 86%
And do they pass those savings on to cancer patients?
Nope.
They mark the drugs right back up between 30-600% in some cases and
bill the insurance companies, who then bill the patients.
That seems like highway robbery to me, and it’s a big part of what’s wrong with our healthcare system.
Believe
it or not, doctors can pocket up to $1 million a year just by
prescribing chemo, tacking on a hefty commission, and charging you to
put it in your body.
And
yet even though some oncologists have a clear conflict of interest,
chemo is still the treatment most patients choose because they don’t
know there are safer non-toxic options for treating and healing cancer.
How do I know?
Meet my friend Chris.
He
was diagnosed with advanced cancer in 2003. But he opted out of chemo.
Yet today he is alive and well (and cancer-free) nearly 14 years later.
How did he do it?

Thank you for watching and thank you for your support and help. Harold Rhett Stein - bail bondsman By: Rhett Stein Harold Rhett Stein: Bail Bondsman This
article will teach you something about the man Harold Rhett Stein. He
was the biggest independent bail bondsman both in Texas, Louisiana, and
California. This one of a kind bail bondsman for Texas, Louisiana
and California has been a powerful presence in the area of bail bonding
since 1972. What makes him the biggest and independent bail bondsman is
obvious. He is able to take care of bail bonds that have face amounts
that are written just for Texas. Stein and his associates not only have
in-house underwriting that one may require. But they also are able to
provide this underwriting in a lot of cases without having to have any
visible collateral. This in-house underwriting that Stein has not only
cuts down on outside costs in a major way. They also offer bail bond
writing for almost all jurisdictions that are in the United States in
addition. Stein and his associates have written one of the biggest bail
bonds ever written on record and that was in the sum of three million
dollars for Navarro County Texas. A bail bondsman like Harold
Rhett Stein will perform a necessary service for criminal defendant
cases. With this service, a criminal defendant, or person who is in
question, is allowed to be released and leave jail in order to continue
on with their life while waiting for their court date to come. Since the
office of Harold Rhett Stein does their underwriting in house, the time
involved in getting a criminal defendant released from jail is
dramatically cut, it can usually occur within only a few hours time. He
and his associates have a combined experience of more than thirty five
years, so with this experience they can offer high quality, discreet and
friendly services for the lowest rates available in the area. Although
Harold Rhett Stein has the lowest prices in the area of east Texas and
Louisiana, he and his associates are expanding their service area. They
are now offering bail bonds services to deep east Texas and north Texas
and now south and west Texas. With the expansion of the office area he
will be able to provide bail bonds services to more criminal defendant
clients, therefore producing more revenue for the company. Harold
Rhett Stein has been an asset to his community and the communities he
serves and he continues to have a very highly respected reputation in
most areas of Louisiana and Texas. He, as well as the associates in his
office is completely motivated to help criminal defendants get their
lives back to normal as quickly as they can. Their office is capable of
helping whenever someone needs them, regardless of what time it is, day
or night, and regardless of the day. They will always provide fast
friendly service and typically there will be no collateral necessary.
Their expansion into most areas of Texas will help them provide their
services for more clients and give them the same fast, friendly and
confidential services they have been known for as well as the lowest
prices available.

Change the Image
Kenneth Copeland
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is
not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope
for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans 8:24-25
According
to Romans, hope is actually looking at something you can’t see. How do
you do that? You do it by looking at the promises of God in the Word
until with your inner eyes—the eyes of your spirit—a picture is formed. For
example, one of the hardest things I ever had to do was face the fact
that the inner image I had of myself physically was fat. It didn’t
matter how hard I tried to change, it wouldn’t go away. I was always on a
diet. I must have lost (and regained) hundreds of pounds over the
years. I finally had to admit that as long as my inner image of
myself was fat, my outer self was going to match it. Remember, it’s
faith that changes things, and without the inner image of hope, faith
cannot work. So I decided to fast for seven days. I searched my Bible for every scripture I could find on food and eating and I found many. I
meditated on every one of those scriptures and prayed in the spirit for
seven full days. What was I doing? I was laying hold on a different
inner image. This is not something you can do overnight. It takes
time. Especially if the inner image you’re changing has been there for
years. But you can do it. Go to the Word of God today and
begin to change the images inside you. Change them from images of
despair to images of hope. Get a blueprint in your heart and your faith
will build on it!

St. Joe’s Prep downs nationally ranked No. 4 St. John’s College (D.C.) 34-30
PISCATAWAY,
NJ —Tim Roken tucked the ball nonchalantly under his arm and politely
shook the hands of all the well-wishers that were coming at him from
every direction Friday night at Rutgers’ SHI Stadium.
Not too far away stood Hawks’ junior
receiver Malik Cooper, who was smiling and posing for shots with
teammates and coaches, basking in this new feeling of being a Friday
night hero.
Both Roken and Cooper are in new roles
this season, with Roken being the new head coach at St. Joe’s Prep and
Cooper playing receiver for the first time.
The guys in their new roles got the Hawks back to an old role, winning.
Thanks to a career-high five catches for
157 yards and two TDs from Cooper and some bold moves from Roken,
pulled off an upset in beating St. John’s College. St. John’s is ranked
No. 4 nationally by USA Today and MaxPreps, 34-30.
It marked Roken’s first victory as a head coach and introduced Cooper to a host of national scouts that were watching the game.
The Hawks are now 1-1 with another national powerhouse on the slate next week in visiting IMG.
“It was a great team win,” Roken said.
“Our coaches and our players obviously had a tough defeat last week in
Georgia. But they came back and drew a line in the sand on Monday
morning at 6 a.m. They didn’t want to feel that away again.
“You learn by those things. We had our
backs against the wall a few tines tonight and we came back and won.
This team fights. They fight. These are great programs and to play in
this atmosphere is awesome. Our guys buckled down when we needed to.
These guys fight.”
Junior defensive back Dave Watson
stripped and recovered a fumble by LSU-bound St. John’s receiver Rakim
Jarrett, with just over three minutes to play at the Prep 33. From
there, the Hawks ran out the clock to preserve the win.
For Cooper, it was a combination of elation, mixed with a little reprieve.
Cooper’s 38-yard TD reception with 1:51
left in the third quarter proved to be the winning points. He also
caught a 74-yard TD pass at the start of the game. But what gnawed at
him, and what almost backfired on the Hawks, was an option pass Cooper
made down field that was intercepted early in the third quarter and Prep
up, 24-7.
The Cadets took control and reeled off
20 unanswered points in three minutes, six seconds. The Prep offense
struggled to get across midfield.
Cooper, needless to say, was kicking himself after the interception.
“I was kicking myself, but I had to take
that off my mind, because that pass was definitely on my mind,” Cooper
said. “We beat ourselves against Marietta last week, so we had to
retaliate and come back to get that ‘W.’”
Kyle McCord completed 17 of 35 passes
for 283 yards and three touchdowns, two to Cooper and one to Marvin
Harrison Jr. McCord, like the rest of the Hawks, dealt with a certain
level of frustration from the 21-17 season-opening loss to Marietta.
“We learned from it,” McCord said. “This
was an emotional win against a great team. That means a lot for us, and
it’s the brand of football we like to play. Last week we didn’t live up
to the standard, and this week we got back on track.
“Overall, it was the little things,
alignment, staying on sides, finishing your job. I’ll admit, I messed up
last week. We paid attention to detail and it showed. This showed we’re
resilient to come back from behind.”
This looked like a blowout early.
The Hawks bolted out to a surprising 21-0 first-quarter lead and held a 24-7 advantage at halftime.
By then, McCord had thrown for 195
yards, completing 12 of 25, with two touchdowns and one interception,
which led to the Cadets’ lone halftime score.
After one quarter, the Hawks were
totally dominant. They had outgained St. John’s College 161 to 16 in
total yards, and held the Cadets without a first down throughout the
quarter. St. John’s College didn’t get its initial first down of the
game until there was 8:22 left in the half.
Jarrett was held to two receptions for a total of 16 yards.
St. Joe’s opened the scoring on its
first possession when McCord hit Cooper in stride for a 74-yard
touchdown. It was a perfect connection and further proof why numerous
major programs liked Ohio State-commit McCord. The ball seemed to wait
in the air for Cooper to run under it and take off.
Cooper, meanwhile, had a career-best
game by halftime, catching three passes for 113 yards, the bulk of which
came on the 74-yard TD.
Prep’s defense, which held the Cadets to
129 yards of offense and four first downs in the half, put the Hawks up
14-0 when a botched handoff was fumbled in the end zone and recovered
by Prep’s Blake Romano in the end zone.
The Hawks closed the quarter when McCord
hit an open Marvin Harrison Jr. alone in the corner of the end zone
with a five-yard TD with 1:06 left in the quarter.
The only mistake the Hawks made in the
half when Jamell Overton picked off a McCord pass at the Prep 36. Seven
plays later, Cadets’ senior quarterback Sol-Jay Maiava fooled everyone
and ran in for a seven-yard score with 8:22 left in the half.
The Hawks replied with a 14-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in an Antonio Chadha 29-yard field goal.
What can’t get lost here is the amazing
job St. Joe’s Prep sophomore Keenan Nelson Jr. did on Jarrett, a major
talent, throughout the game. The 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back has
received college offers. After Friday night’s victory, more will
certainly be pouring in.

Is Not Exercising Really Worse for Your Health than Smoking?
Smoking
has been the antithesis of healthy living for a long-time now, but
recent media coverage suggests that it may have to share the stage of
shame with an even more dangerous killer: inactivity. That’s right: sitting on your ass has
been widely touted as being more harmful to our health than puffing
away on the ol’ cancer stick. But it is really? Impartial research
suggests not. While a sedentary lifestyle is certainly not good for
you, and carries with it many of the same risks as smoking, smoking
still reigns supreme as the biggest danger between the two. This said, it’s important that you do
understand that being chronically sedentary poses very real, very
life-threatening risks. Risks that cannot only shorten your life, but
make your years living less vital. Let’s take a look at the dangers of being sedentary. (Nothing like a little fear-based motivation!)
Fitness Leads to Longer Life
Unsurprisingly, being fit helps you
live longer. But the surprising part is how being unfit can actually
impact your longevity. In fact, extremely high intensity interval
training, specifically, is linked to the greatest survival rate,
meaning that each jump squat could be helping you gain more years on
your life. One of the best things about HIIT is you don’t need a ton of
time or equipment to reap the rewards. In fact, you don’t even need a
lot of money. (In fact, you can get a free one month trial of Sweatflix now, which gives you risk-free access to thousands of HIIT workouts for all fitness levels. Check it out.)
Sedentary Lifestyle and Health Risks
A sedentary lifestyle can be as
simple as sitting for ten hours a day, and many of us achieve that all
in a workday. Sitting too much can lead to a build-up of proteins in the
body called troponins, which are released by the heart muscles when
they’re damaged (doctors look for a surge of these proteins in the blood
to diagnose a heart attack). Over time, this build-up of troponins could explain
why sedentary lifestyles are more at risk for cardiovascular disease
and other conditions. Not moving enough can also impact the part of your
brain responsible for memory formation, leading to anearly cognitive decline.
The Fitter You Are, The More Benefits
The upside of this? These studies
also show that there’s no limit to the benefit you get from being fit.
There was a concern that being incredibly fit could actually detract
from your health (think the world’s most extreme athletes), but research
has shown that the opposite is true: there’s no level of activity and
exercise that causes you risk, as the ultra-fit are at a lower risk of
mortality. So, keep pushing those boundaries and chasing your fitness
goals! At the end of the day, cardiovascular
diseases are some of the most expensive to treat and manage, and
sedentary lifestyles can vastly increase your risk of developing them.
Proactively fighting them by exercising and moving more can not only
help you add years to your life and lead to a better quality of life,
but it can also help reverse the damage of a sedentary life. Treat
exercise like a prescription from the doctor if you have to, but make
sure you’re moving every single day, and engaging in effective, intense
workouts regularly to fight the good fight for your health. Sign up for a free trial of Sweatflix now. This isn’t a fad: this is your life. Take it seriously.
There's no doubt that antibiotics are necessary and can be life-saving.
But there's also not much of an argument that they have and in some
cases, continue to be over-used and over-prescribed. Dr. Marvin Singh
discusses the impact antibiotics have on our overall gut health.
Frederic Gaspoz on Penicillin
By: Frederic Gaspoz
Though the term of microbiology
includes the study of all micro-organisms, Frederic Gaspoz explains that
this term was rarely used at the beginning of the 20th century to
indicate the activity of laboratories which practiced this discipline
and which were more generally called laboratories of bacteriology,
because this branch was dominant at that the time as well by its
importance as by the possibilities of diagnostic applications that it
offered already. According to Frederic Gaspoz, virology was slowly
leaving the field of research and did not have yet its place in the
routine diagnosis. The rare analyses of mycology and parasitology,
rather marginal at the time, were assumed by laboratories of
bacteriology. For Frederic Gaspoz, more astonishing was the fact that
bacteriology had under its dependence all applications of immunology: if
infectious serology found there its logical place, it appears quite
strange to us today that hematologic immunology, in particular the
determination of the blood groups was carried out in a laboratory which
bore the name of laboratory of bacteriology.
In 1928, a
researcher of a London hospital, Alexander Fleming, identifies the
bactericidal capacity of a mould. It is however only after the beginning
of the Second World War (WW2) that penicillin, isolated by a laboratory
from the university from Oxford, becomes a drug.
Very early,
the question of the paternity of the discovery is largely discussed.
Prestige associated with the drug gives obviously force to the debate,
explains Frederic Gaspoz. More interesting, the interrogation on the
identity of the "father" of penicillin is accompanied by a reflexion on
the way in which the product was discovered. For Frederic Gaspoz, the
questions were: does science have to be a simple aspect of
pharmaceutical industry? Does it have to be carried out by important and
specialized teams? Penicillin is undoubtedly an exceptional drug,
mentions Frederic Gaspoz. Before the years 1930, medicine is still
unable to look after the bacterial infections. Frederic Gaspoz notes
that for one century, the infectious diseases have been declining in the
richest countries of the western civilization, thanks to progress in
the food and hygiene, thanks to the vaccination and to a better
comprehension of the process of the infection. Diseases like, for
example, pneumonia or typhus are rarer, mentions Frederic Gaspoz.
However, if one contracts one of them, the doctor has few means of
action and the forecast is difficult. There is Salversan to look after
syphilis, and the sulphamides, which will be developed at the end of the
years 1930, but these drugs have both unpleasant side effects and are
not total effective. Frederic Gaspoz notes that in the decades of
post-war period, the availability of abundant penicillin stocks will
give an unsuspected dimension to the therapeutic capacity. The figures
speak for themselves: mortality of young people due to a bacterial
pneumonia falls, for example, of 66% in 1929-1935 to 6% at the beginning
of the years 1960. How was this revolution achieved? asks Frederic
Gaspoz. Modern history begins as for it in year 1920 within a
laboratory of the St-Mary Hospital in London, explains Frederic Gaspoz.
Alexander Fleming works on the development of vaccines likely to fight
the bacterial infections. During the First World War, he noted that
chemical disinfectants did not prevent the wounds from being infected.
On the other hand, since Pasteur, he knew the great effectiveness of
vaccines in the construction of proper defenses of the body against
disease. There was a way of promising research… In 1928, Fleming notices
that a box of Petri, where he has cultivated some bacteria, presents
one mould around which these bacteria are missing. Frederic Gaspoz
mentions that this mould, identified as being a "Penicillium notatum",
is indeed a bactericide. However, Fleming and its colleagues of the
hospital St Mary do not manage to separate the active ingredient from
the mould. Absorbed by his motivation of developing vaccines, Fleming
cannot either "see" in its box the future wonder product. At the
end of WW2, the majority of the agents of the great infectious
bacterial diseases were known. According to Frederic Gaspoz, the
analyses practiced in laboratories were primarily centered on the
diagnosis of diseases such as diphtheria, typhoid fever, syphilis,
tuberculosis, streptococcus, meningitis, etc. The opportunistic and
nosocomial infections had not yet reached the alarming level that we
currently know and thus did not mobilize great effort. On the other
hand, Frederic Gaspoz notes that the discovery and the use of
antibiotics was a considerable progress in medicine that completely
modified the forecast of certain infectious diseases. After sulfamide
discovered in 1935, penicillin and streptomycin became available after
WW2, followed by tetracycline, chloramphenicol, the erythromycin and the
first semi-synthetic penicillin. The variable spectrum of these
antibiotics and the early appearance of resistance of the bacteria
forced laboratories to test the sensitivity of the germs in vitro,
analyzes which very early received the name of "antibiogramme". For
Frederic Gaspoz, the spectacular antibiotic results in the treatment of
many infectious diseases had given the impression that the problem of
these diseases was solved. Clinicians seemed to be interested only in
the sensitivity of the germ by neglecting sound identification, and the
role of commensal flora was not correctly appraised. Frederic Gaspoz
notes that it was only several years later that this view changed, when
the epidemiology of the nosocomial infections required to identify germs
and that the protective role of the commensal flora was included and
understood. Frederic Gaspoz. Frederic Gaspoz

Tulsa Police released bodycam video of a K-9 team arresting a man after a
standoff in July. Tyvon Eugene Mumphrey was wanted on suspicion of
forcing two people from a van at gunpoint and throwing a 2-year-old
child from the vehicle onto the ground. Officers surrounded a home in
the 1800 block of North Madison July 11. After a brief standoff, they
made entry to the home. On the video Kahn, a Tulsa Police K9 officer can
be heard panting. K9 Training Officer, Sgt. Ryan Woods said, He was
breathing in and out of his mouth which means he wasn't using his sense
of smell." A little further into the video the backup officer sees
Mumphrey in the bathroom. But, Kahn's panting may have kept the dog from
alerting that the suspect was hiding behind the shower curtain, not
once, but twice.
Several seconds go by before the K-9 handler brings the dog back to the
bathroom. Again, Kahn fails to alert. The handler even appears to guide
the dog back towards the bathtub, where Kahn then finds and bites the
suspect's arm to hold him as the officers make the arrest. Tulsa police
often use dogs in searches and arrests to avoid deadly force situations.
Woods says what you see in these videos changed two things for the TPD
K9 unit. Kahn is getting training to find suspects behind a shower
curtain. Additionally, the K9 unit may not always use dogs when it is
too hot outside. Mumphrey was taken to the hospital to be treated for
the bite. He is charged with child abuse, robbery with a dangerous
weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

A healthy dose of forgiveness is something we all
need at one time or another. We feel life’s painful edges when we make a
mistake and hurt someone, or when we’re on the receiving end and they
hurt us. It can be tempting to hold a grudge, but that traps us in a
cycle of emotional pain we don’t need. It’s easier to forgive others
when we know that we’ve been forgiven. God made promises of love and forgiveness to us before we were even
born because He knew that was exactly what we would need. When we accept
Jesus, we receive those promises for ourselves. Forgiving someone for
something they’ve done wrong is one way to demonstrate love. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:12, NIV). God loves us so much that He’s extending open arms to us, despite our past wrongdoings. We’ve all heard the sermons that tell us to love one another, but
some churches neglect to tell us the whole story. It’s impossible to go
through life without sometimes feeling like we’re under attack by
negative emotions; at times like this, it’s pretty tough to show love
for others through our own efforts. However, God has taken care of that.
“We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). When we think about this long enough to let it sink down into us, we find strength to love others.
A misconception about love is that it involves emotions. Feelings are
a by-product of love, but they’re not love, itself. Love the way God
describes it is a conscious decision. “Love never gives up. Love
cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t
have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force
itself on others, Isn’t always ‘me first,’ Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others
grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But
keeps going to the end” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, MSG). Feelings can
fluctuate like the ocean tides; a deliberate choice to love enables us
to be consistent. God deliberately chose to make His love for us evident by sending His Son. “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16, 17). Forgiveness
is the opposite of condemnation. Choosing to hang on to past hurts traps
us in a painful past and prevents us from moving on; that’s not God’s
will for us. Believing in what Jesus did frees us to receive the
forgiveness and undeserved favor He offers us with no strings attached. Feeling unloved and unforgiven makes life seem harsh and cruel. It
can open us up to worry, anxiety, and other negative emotions that God
never wanted us to feel. However, we don’t have to struggle when we
remember God’s love and forgiveness. “Casting the whole of your care
[all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for
all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you
watchfully” (1 Peter 5:7, AMPC). Knowing how He loves us gives life a whole new perspective.
