Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help people being treated for opioid addiction reduce their methadone dose and better manage pain and withdrawal symptoms. The research team recruited participants enrolled in a local opioid treatment program to test the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. The first paper showed that those who had received hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of a planned methadone taper were able to maintain a significantly larger dose reduction of 4.3 mg three months after the study, as compared to 0.25 mg in participants who did not receive...

Washington: India's total purchase of oil from Russia in a month is probably less than what Europe does in an afternoon, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. "I noticed you refer to oil purchases. If you are looking at energy purchases from Russia, I would suggest that your attention should be focused on Europe. We do buy some energy, which is necessary for our energy security. But I suspect looking at the figures, probably our total purchases for the month would be less than what Europe does in an afternoon," Jaishankar told a reporter when asked about India's oil...

NEW YORK (AP) — The hiring of non-journalists as contributors to television news organizations isn’t new. Far less common is seeing pushback to such decisions from journalists working there, as has happened recently at CBS and NBC News. Discontent emerged over CBS’ hiring of former Trump administration official Mick Mulvaney as a commentator and discussions about current White House press secretary Jen Psaki working at MSNBC when her time in the Biden administration is through. In both cases, journalists have been quiet publicly about their concerns over the decisions. Because of concern about Psaki — which has raised ethical issues...

Guest post by Duane Armstrong, a former Pharma executive The pandemic has revealed corruption in every institution at many levels. Media, Government, Big Tech and Big Pharma have all earned considerable negative publicity and trust in each of them has been eroded. There is another corrupt institution that deserves to be labeled as negatively as these others, and it also has lost the trust of the public. That institution is the whole of the medical industry. This includes physicians, hospitals, retail pharmacies and anyone else in the industry who has lied, covered up and misled. The CDC, FDA, NIH, WHO...

A Tennessee interracial bride and groom are facing backlash on social media after a controversial clip from their wedding shows the seemingly white bride escorting the groom, an apparent black man, into their reception on a dog leash.

Ukraine 5 (vanity) The onslaught of Biden/media war propaganda, for a war America is not fighting, is setting the table for continued Russian sanctions, additional Ukraine funding and further widening of the rift between Russia and America. In order to help counter the Biden/media propaganda, I signed up for the Russian social media app called Telegram. It is a cross between Twitter and WhatsApp, IMO. The main account to follow is “Intel Slava Z” and also “ASB Military News” is good too. These accounts have first hand images and videos from the front lines and they say and show the...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) called for a “national response” to rising violence following a subway shooting that wounded over a dozen people on Tuesday. Adams told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview that increased violence is an issue affecting the entire country and said that while officials have recovered more than 1,800 guns in the last three and a half months, the city needed some assistance. “We’re going to continue to do our job, but there is some assistance that’s going to be needed in our city, such as an empowering ATF,” the mayor said, referring to...

Mark Forton, ousted Monday night as the Macomb County Republican Party chairman, vows vowed to go after opponents aggressively. "I don't have to protect any RINO Republicans," he tells The Detroit News. GOP delegates voted 158-123 to unseat Forton because of a "lack of confidence." He tells The News he plans to launch a recall campaign against Republican Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini if he doesn't allow Mellissa Carone on the ballot as a state House candidate. Carone gained notoriety in 2020 when she testified with Rudy Giuliani at a Lansing hearing on the election. Forlini recently disqualified Carone from...

President Biden makes an announcement on his Administration’s actions to lower costs for working families, reduce the impact of Putin’s Price Hike, and Build a Better America with Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments in rural communities.

Mark Wahlberg’s new film Father Stu is one of the most theologically interesting films to come out in a long time. It considers some of the thorniest and most puzzling themes in the sacred science, including the nature of vocation, the purpose of suffering in the divine plan, the role of supernatural agency, the dynamics of redemption, and perhaps most thoroughly, the mystery of God’s providence. In the course of this article, I would like to say just a few simple things about the first and last of those motifs. Let’s take providence first. I have argued for years that...

I am flabbergasted by how big of a disaster the US economy is under Biden’s leadership. I am talking about the middle class and lower-income households that are suffering due to 40-year high inflation rates reducing their REAL wages. US real average weekly earnings growth YoY is down to -3.60%. That is the lowest since 2007 and is worse than The Great Recession and financial crisis of 2008. And look at this chart of mortgage payments under Biden. The US was actually experiencing DECLINING mortgage payments YoY in 2019 and 2020. But under Biden’s leadership, mortgage payments have increased by...

More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city's wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to police. In many cases, they're making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars — if not more — and then peddling them to black-market buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence, police said. In some cases, suspects have been arrested but then released from...

The gun used by the monster who opened fire on a crowded Brooklyn subway Tuesday jammed in the midst of the bloodshed — preventing him from causing more carnage, law enforcement sources told The Post. Investigators recovered the jammed Glock and two extended magazines at the scene of the shooting, which happened aboard a Manhattan-bound N train just as it was pulling into the 36th Street station in Sunset Park just after 8:20 a.m. “It was lucky that it jammed because we could be talking about a lot more people in hospitals or worse,” a law enforcement source said. “Dozens...

No Conspiracy TheoryParents are right to worry about sexual abuse of students by school officials.In the wake of the controversy surrounding Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation, which prohibits public schools from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade, the national media has sought to paint conservative opposition as hysterical, anti-LGBTQ, and conspiracy-minded. The New York Times, for example, accused conservatives of having a “freakout” about imaginary “grooming” in public schools, and the Washington Post dismissed concerns about sexual abuse by teachers as a “QAnon conspiracy.”But whatever the editorialists at the Times and the Post might...

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin declared her love for mask mandates Tuesday as she denounced the scheduled lifting of the federal requirement for travelers to wear masks on airplanes, trains and in transit hubs later this month. "I want the masks!" Hostin exclaimed during a segment focused on the state of the coronavirus pandemic, complaining that she didn't want the mandate to end because she didn't want to be on an airplane with other people breathing on her "with their COVID breath." Co-host Joy Behar began the segment by noting that the city of Philadelphia had reinstated its indoor mask...

WHOSE FRANNIVERSARY IS IT??

West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin is blasting the Biden administration for responding to record-high inflation with 'half-measures and rhetorical failures' after the Labor Department revealed Tuesday that the average price of consumer goods hit a 41-year high. He said Americans deserved to know 'the truth' of what fueled a staggering 8.5 percent inflation rate in March from the year prior -- a price hike he likened to a new 'tax.' 'Let me be clear, inflation is a tax and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control,' 'Hard...

Roy P. Disney, grandnephew of Walt Disney, revealed that his child is transgender in a fundraising email for the Human Rights Campaign. “My wife, Sheri, and I have been members of HRC for over 20 years,” he reportedly wrote. “Equality matters deeply to us, especially because our child, Charlee, is transgender and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.” “We were heartbroken when Ron DeSantis signed the ‘Don’t Say Gay or Trans’ law in Florida,” Disney continued in the email. “The fight isn’t over, and we are determined to do everything we can to stop this from happening in other...

Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment in his private equity firm from Saudi Arabia's state-owned sovereign wealth fund just six months after the end of the Trump administration, a new report claimed on Sunday. Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and former White House senior adviser, secured the massive deal despite being flagged for its 'inexperience' and 'public relations risks' by a panel of economics experts who screen the wealth fund's investments, the New York Times reports. During his time in the White House, Kushner was known for his close personal relationship with Saudi Arabia's de facto leader Mohammed bin-Salman and...
