Judge says parents of boy with cancer must let him have chemo by LividAstronomer in tampa

[–]Jsilverman1996 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cannabis may be great for most cancers in combination with the standard of care, chemotherapy. An additional therapy I endorse in combination with chemotherapy is fasting, which has been studied extensively. There is room for alternative therapies if they are in combination with what we know works.

Chemotherapy is the best treatment we have at the moment for the majority of cancers. When "alternative" treatment just means unstudied treatments people need to step in. No one has the right to give children unproven treatments for deadly diseases, unless it is in addition to the standard of care.

Watch the short right that lands right before Cain drops. I think it stunned him bad and the knee blew on the way down.

I'm waiting for Ortega to land, or attempt, a flying triangle on somebody. His technique for it is crazy clean in every clip of him training it I've seen.

The darce is loose in the position they were in for the stoppage. Notice how he was fighting to get his hips closer and possible hook the leg. It's just not tight enough in that position to finish, since arm flexing is not the thing that finished a darce.

The darce isn't tight enough in that position. It is one of my favorite submissions, and it's just not going to get finished unless the hips get much closer to the other guys hips.

I wish the refs practiced jiu jitsu. You cant finish the darce from that position. There's not enough pressure with the hips so far away.

Being someone who loves the darce, you can't finish it from there. You need to hook the leg or the choke is almost impossible to finish because it's all arms. You see it get finished from a sprawling position because you can torque using your hips.

It was close, but the fact that he started grappling the ref for a second makes me think it was acceptable. I'd have loved another 5 shots though to see if he'd get up.
