I just launched the petition “Federal Politicians: So ScoMo doesn’t think firefighters are a priority? Cut parliamentary benefits and perks!” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.
My goal is to reach 100 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:
One small study published in the Journal of Urology treated 11 participants with lemonade therapy for nearly four years. Researchers found that stone formation dropped significantly, from an average of one kidney stone per year down to just 0.13 per year. And this study showed that treating kidney stone patients with lemon or lime juice increased urinary citrate levels and decreased the amount of calcium in the urine, suggesting that citric acid may be a potential alternative treatment for preventing kidney stones.
Tom: A good reason to start your day like I do, with the juice from half a lemon in water.
Federal health officials think they know what’s causing a mysterious vaping-related lung illness that has sickened more than 2,200 people and caused dozens of deaths.
Vitamin E acetate, an additive sometimes used in THC and other vaping products, may be the reason for the devastating illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
Bowel and digestive problems like ulcerative colitis can be among the most discomforting and disruptive affronts to a person’s lifestyle and overall well-being. What if adding a healthy dose of ginger to your diet could prevent indigestion, inflamed insides and even protect you from colon and rectal cancers? The evidence says, it can.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition affecting more than 750,000 people in North America.[i] The disorder, a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causes open sores or ulcers to develop in the lining of the large intestine. Unlike Crohn’s, another form of IBD that can affect the entire digestive tract, colitis affects only the inner surface of the large intestine.[ii]
UC is considered to be incurable, however patients must seek to manage their symptoms. Untreated UC can cause long-term damage to the colon and increases risks of colon and anal cancers.[iii] Fortunately, natural options such as ginger may help.
You’ve heard the term, “Paralysed by fear”? The term means a person unable to move due to an obvious and immediate overwhelming threat to their survival. The term describes the motionlessness of the body but the truth is that it is the mind that is paralysed with fear. After all, it is the mind that directs the body. Some low toned leaders who want to control populations for their own ends know this and employ it openly. So do many groups and individuals. The use it to keep people in line or enforce compliance with a course of action. I observed that this week in a medical appointment. Remarkable how effective it is. It is the technique currently being employed to generate hype to get all people vaccinated against what for the most part are relatively minor childhood infections that are made out to be mass killing diseases. In fact, most people are so blinded by the fear of disease they cannot look, so do not see the dangers of vaccines. Which is, of course, exactly how the vaccine makers want them to be. Which poses a major challenge to those who can see and are trying to educate the fearful. It also opens a way through to reach them. Talk more about the very real damages, paralysis and death from the vaccines. Whic is becoming increasingly easy to do given the very available recent research proving such. I have been concerned over the introduction of compulsory vaccination in the Maldives, Somoa and several US States. Knowing that always the wrong thing to do about anything is nothing, I put together several pages of data and links and a one page medical waiver (that I strongly suspect no doctor will ever sign) that I make available to you to use as you wish. I am interested to hear your fedback on the document, how you would use it and any results you get from its use. https://www.tomgrimshaw.com/Vaccine_Data_Waiver_Medical.pdf
Import data if you do not have a chip on your card: Hackers will target your credit and debit card pretty much anywhere you can use it, online or off. Gas pumps have become an increasingly popular target in recent years.
No matter how abundant or renewable, solar power has a thorn in its side. There is still no cheap and efficient long-term storage for the energy that it generates.
The solar industry has been snagged on this branch for a while, but in the past year alone, a series of four papers has ushered in an intriguing new solution.
Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialised fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade.
“A solar thermal fuel is like a rechargeable battery, but instead of electricity, you put sunlight in and get heat out, triggered on demand,” Jeffrey Grossman, an engineer works with these materials at MIT explained to NBC News.
The fluid is actually a molecule in liquid form that scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have been working on improving for over a year.
This molecule is composed of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, and when it is hit by sunlight, it does something unusual: the bonds between its atoms are rearranged and it turns into an energised new version of itself, called an isomer.
Like prey caught in a trap, energy from the sun is thus captured between the isomer’s strong chemical bonds, and it stays there even when the molecule cools down to room temperature.
Obsidian is dense volcanic glass, usually rhyolite in composition and typically black in color. Obsidian with multicolored iridescence caused by inclusions of magnetite nanoparticles. Obsidian is often formed in rhyolite lava flows where the lava cools so fast that crystals do not have time to grow.
