He has been on a strict regime incorporating Ivermectin and other things... he is now 3 months in. So let's see what has been happening....
Like all stories, there is a beginning.

Tucked away in the remote heart of the Indian Ocean lies a tiny archipelago that few outside geopolitical and military circles had heard of.... until now.
The Chagos Islands, and most notably Diego Garcia, have suddenly entered the spotlight as the United Kingdom has agreed to transfer sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius, while simultaneously negotiating to retain its military presence through a long-term lease. President Donald Trump, has made sure that America's interests are protected and things can carry on as before. Or will they?

In a rare confluence, Canada, Britain, and Australia held elections within a week of one another, although in Britain’s case, these were local elections in England. Yet England’s local elections may turn out to be the most consequential of the three for centre-right politics across the Western world. Last year I noted, amidst a gathering crisis of democracy, the rise of the New Right on both sides of the North Atlantic. Against that wider backdrop, at the start of the year, centre-right parties were expected to do well in all three countries.
In an interesting week, Canada’s Conservative Party saw a once 20-point advantage in the polls slide behind the governing Liberal Party on 28 April, UK Reform caused a political earthquake in England as it exceeded expectations and forecasts on 1 May, and Australia’s Liberal-National coalition suffered the shock of a significant swing against it to hand Labor a landslide re-election victory on 3 May. The polls proved reasonably accurate in capturing the electoral shifts in Canada and England but failed spectacularly in Australia.

Factional ferrets, backstabbing bandicoots, and the great Teal tango - how the Libs turned on their own and left Dutton in the dust. By Roderick (Whiskers) McNibble, Chief Political Correspondent, Ratty News - keeping paws on the pulse and noses in the nonsense.
Ratty News can now reveal the explosive truth behind Peter Duttons's catastrophic election loss: it wasn’t incompetence. It wasn’t the Teals. It wasn’t even the cost-of-living crisis.
It was a hit job. An inside job. A Ratstab.
Sources embedded in the Liberal Party's subterranean burrows have leaked details of Operation Ratstab – a covert campaign of sabotage orchestrated by a cabal of factional insiders known only as The Black Paw. This Armani-suited syndicate of Sydney moderates, teal-curious technocrats, and ex-Turnbull loyalists didn’t just torpedo Dutton’s run.
They detonated the entire ship, saluted ironically, and then popped over to the North Shore for pinot noir and crumbed cheese on toast.

Magic happens everywhere and goodness, wonder and delight can be found alive and well throughout the world.
All we need do is look to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, for the joy in the simplicity of delight to be found in such timeless heroes.
Fairies are part of my Manx heritage so it is not be be treated lightly that you have my assurance that the Tooth Fairies are still flying around the world doing a great job.
They tell me that the Easter Bunny is also ready for a bumper Easter Egg day. But they asked me to remind the children to brush their teeth and not get carried away with too many goodies from the Bunny basket.
Enjoy!
How many people around the world have been warning about the danger we are in? All around the world, we have been called conspiracy theorists and accused of peddling misinformation and disinformation. Yet we are being proven correct mere months after.
One can't help but think back to the man who warned of danger. Thank goodness, back then, people listened.
Paul Revere, a silversmith from Boston, is one of the most celebrated figures of the American Revolutionary War. Born on January 1, 1735, Revere's life and actions have become an emblem of the spirit of American independence. His legendary midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn the colonial militia of the approaching British forces has etched his name into American history.
However, Revere's contributions to the American Revolution extend far beyond this single act of heroism.
