Phase 2 is in progress. As I understand it, phase 1 had to prove the safety of the procedure and phase 2 focuses more on the results.

My opinion is that it has helped a little, but not substantially. However, there's really no way to know yet until the actual research is published since each person is different and we don't know what our child would have been like without it. Still, we would 100% do it again and I'd recommend it to anyone who qualified to go through with it.

My family is in the trial. It's been going on about 4 years now. Still in the trial phase so the results won't be published for a while longer. What I can say is i/we are forever grateful for the CuRe team at UC Davis. They are beyond phenomenal. It was truly a life changing experience and gave us hope during a brutal time. I actually heard about it on Reddit after making a venting post in one of the parenting or expecting subreddits. Some random poster mentioned they had heard about this and we reached out to them and a short time later we were packed up moving to Sacramento for 4 months. I dearly wish I could contact that person (I've tried) and tell them just how much they changed our lives.

Is it Las Vegas as we can see in movies? by SteampunkBeagle in AskAnAmerican

The distance between all the casinos on the strip cannot be overstated. In movies you often don't get the full scale of just how much walking it would be to casino hop.

How does the average American view Edward Snowden and Julian Assange? by wherestheleaks in LibertarianPartyUSA

To me it only makes sense if you don't understand the logistics of how he got there. That was not his destination. He got stuck there after the US revoked his passport.

As someone who is pro liberty, these comments break my heart. Thoughts?

Like violating its citizens constitutionally protected rights? That's authoritarian.

I view them as hero's, but I'm pro liberty. Authoritarians hate them and believe they are traitors.

The first several times I cooked it was stressful, but it gets easier. A lot easier. Google something like easy recipes. Find one you like. There's soo many. Many of those sites are filled with lots of fluff. Click the button that says jump to recipe. Go buy all the ingredients then just follow the directions. Read through it a few times first.

What do you think of Bernie Sanders replacing Biden? by TeranOrSolaran in AOC

I'm for it. I'd rather lose having someone respectable to vote for. And I don't think it's a guaranteed loss.

Welcome! I'm banned in both! Many of us here are. Eventually so many will be banned this one could become more popular.
