Lee Harvey Oswald (front left) stands next to a man the National Enquirer claims is Rafael Cruz


Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has suggested that Rafael Cruz, his chief opponent”s father, was connected to the man who killed President John F Kennedy.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump brought up a story that recently appeared in the National Enquirer.

The tabloid published a photo that it says shows Rafael Cruz with Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.Ted Cruz”s campaign called the article “another garbage story”.
“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald”s being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Mr Trump said on Tuesday.

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?”

Now a fervent anti-communist, Rafael Cruz was once a supporter of Cuban leader Fidel Castro
“Trump is detached from reality and his false, cheap, meaningless comments every day indicate his desperation to get attention and willingness to say anything to do so,” the Cruz campaign said in a statement.
Rafael Cruz, who is now a pastor, has campaigned for his son and is urging evangelical Christians to support the Texas senator”s bid.
“Vote for the candidate that stands on the word of God and on the Constitution of the United States of America,” Rafael Cruz recently said.
“And I am convinced that man is my son, Ted Cruz. The alternative could be the destruction of America.”
Rafael Cruz fled Cuba in 1957 and initially supported Fidel Castro”s revolution. He later disavowed communism and Mr Castro.

“It”s not proof”

The National Enquirer hired photo experts who say Rafael Cruz appears in images with Oswald taken in August of 1963, a few months before Kennedy”s death.
In August 1963, Oswald was working on behalf on a pro-Castro group Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans.
The tabloid does not corroborate the report in any other way.
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Gus Russo, an expert on the Kennedy assassination, was sceptical of the Enquirer”s claims.
“It”s very subjective. It”s not proof. It”s just an opinion” he told the Herald. “To charge something this big, you”d better have better proof than that “it looks like him”.”

The National Enquirer previously published a report claiming that Ted Cruz had several extra-marital affairs. The tabloid provided no evidence.
Mr Cruz said the story was false and claimed it was planted by the Trump campaign.
At the time, Mr Cruz also noted that Mr Trump and National Enquirer CEO David Pecker are close friends.
The National Enquirer also has endorsed Mr Trump for president, a first for the publication.
The tabloid often publishes fanciful articles, but has occasionally been credited with major scoops.
In 2004, the tabloid reported that presidential candidate John Edwards had fathered a child with a campaign aide. Mr Edwards later confirmed the report.

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li...

Managing lactose intolerance in children

-
A concerned mom shared her experience with other mothers about the likely causes of diarrhoea in children: “When my daughter was two months old, she started having diarrhoea. I let this go on for a couple of days and then took her to our family doctor. The doctor told me that she has gastroenteritis (infectious diarrhoea). I was given oral re-hydration solution and Flagyl syrup. After a couple of days, she still wasn’t any better and I was at my breaking point. So, I scheduled an appointment with another doctor in order to get a second opinion. The new doctor that I now call my daughter’s pediatrician said that she didn’t think that the baby has gastroenteritis. She said that she was likely to be lactose intolerant and had colic. She told us that when a baby is developing intolerance to cow’s milk, a symptom of that is diarrhoea. So, she advised us to change her baby formula, and, immediately, the diarrhoea stopped.” Lactose (milk) intolerance happens whe...

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

-

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses...
