To keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, ICE recruiters are offering bribes to seduce gullible individuals into doing harm to their neighbors.

New research shows major damage in the brain stress system of people with very severe ME/CFS.
The key finding: a near-loss of the neurons that start the cortisol stress response. This helps explain low cortisol and many symptoms.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
