SAD
I had read about it, I thought I know how to recognize it. But no reading prepared me to understand until I moved to the gloomy and cold. Seasonal affective disorder that is.
Regression
Well...never thought this could happen...but the morning after pill is illegal in Wyoming...what states in the US will follow??? This quote is from CNN news...
As the fight over abortion pills heats up nationally, Wyoming on Friday prohibited the medication in what NARAL Pro-Choice America called a “first of its kind” law, and also enacted a near-total ban on abortion.
Republican Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill making it a felony to prescribe, sell, or use “any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion.” Violators could face up to six months in prison and a $9,000 fine.
The legislation takes effect July 1.

Enlarged Prostate...
I had a busy morning, making a sale, dropping off the check to the office, going through the factory to review some deliveries scheduled next week. All is good. On the way home I got gas and wanted to do a quick run through Walmart. Not a good idea as it was busy like they were giving things away!
I had to pee and knew I couldn't hold it until I got home. No choice, so I went to the restroom in the store. All the stalls were empty... looks like they were shopping and not peeing. Standing at the urinal, thinking of the obligations for the rest of the day, I hear someone talking... I'm doing my best to ignore the guy, but he repeated himself a few times. He was asking me if I had to get up during the night to pee. I pulled my zipper up, stepped back and turned. My answer was "No" and to his surprise he said he's got an enlarged prostrate and has to get up to pee at least three times during the night.
TMI, isn't it?
Sorry, I'm not accustomed to striking up conversations at the urinal and distanced myself by walking the opposite direction from him to wash my hands.
It's a good thing he 'got the message' as I was prepared to tell him the whole world has an enlarged prostate... But, he walked out of the restroom still complaining about his prostate.

self healing
In many diseases, our body has the ability to heal itself.
When an animal falls ill, the first thing it does is to stop eating.
I have been observing one thing since childhood that whenever my father has fever, he stops eating for two to three days. When I ask him to take medicine, he refuses and says that if I don't eat for two or three days, I will be fine. I give him citrus fruit juice (orange juice) during this time. Mostly he recover in a day or two. When he don't get better even after two or three days, then he goes to the doctor.
My father believes that except for some medical emergency, one should not go to the doctor immediately. The body should be given a chance to heal itself.
My father grew up in the village, he is the son of a farmer. The people of the village mostly use herbs in the disease.
I remember, in childhood, in fever, my uncle used to make me drink a decoction of some leaves which was very astringent in taste.

Not just good, but good for you
July 1 — To paraphrase a great old slogan for Guinness beer: Sex isn’t just good, it’s good for you!
Okay, so maybe there’s some wishful thinking going on — the science isn’t exactly iron-clad — but evidence is accumulating that the more sex you have, the better off you are.
There is one caveat, though. “We do not have good data to show a direct connection [to all-around good health]," says Jennifer Bass, the head of information services at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction in Bloomington, Ind. "We know that healthier people have more s*xual activity. But we do not know which comes first. Does the good health make you more willing to have sex, or does the sex have a positive impact?”
And you dirty girrrls and Don Juans should know that the assumed health benefits of sex are generally thought to accrue to people in loving, monogamous relationships or those flying solo. Risky sex with lots of partners will probably do more harm than good.
But while researchers try to nail down the impact on overall health, data is mounting when it comes to some specifics. Here are several potential benefits:
1. Easing depression and stress
Bass says this is pretty definite. “The release from o*gasm does much to calm people. It helps with sleep, and that is whether we talk about solo sex or sex with a partner,” she says.
But wait, there’s more. A recent study of college students at the State University of New York in Albany suggests that semen acts as an antidepressant. Females in the study who were having sex without condoms (see safe sex caution, above) had fewer signs of depression than women who used condoms or abstained from sex.

“These data are consistent with the possibility that semen may antagonize depressive symptoms,” the authors wrote, “and evidence which shows that the va*ina absorbs a number of components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within a few hours of administration.”
I kid you not, ladies. Semen is good stuff. It gives a shot of zinc, calcium, potassium, fructose, proteins -- a veritable cornucopia of vitality!
2. Relieving pain
o*gasm is a powerful pain-killer. Oxytocin, a natural chemical in the body that surges before and during climax, gets some of the credit, along with a couple of other compounds like endorphins.
According to a study by Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and a famed sexologist and author, when women m**turbated to o*gasm “the pain tolerance threshold and pain detection threshold increased significantly by 74.6 percent and 106.7 percent respectively.”

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

3. Boosting cardio health
I can’t resist another plug for semen. It’s possible that male goo can lower blood pressure. Another recent study found that women who gave their men o*al sex, and swallowed, had a lower risk of preeclampsia, the dangerously high blood pressure that sometimes accompanies pregnancy.

Members with multiple profiles...
Medical research has confirmed that dating site members with multiple profiles often do this due to a traumatic experience in their childhood. Be it missing the bus and having to walk 5 miles to get to school or something more serious, like having your mother force you to lean over the casket and kiss your dead grandmother.
Medically, it's called Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD.
Whatever the case, they are known to resort to outlandish tactics to gain confidence with the other members, often by picking on one or more members in an attempt to bully or discredit them. However false, this does give them an authoritative sense of security and that odd personality feels they have accomplished something... enough where the more dominant personality comes back out again and they seemingly appear normal.
If you should know someone who suffers with MPD, please contact your nearest mental health clinic as they have trained professionals who are available to help.
There are several different treatments multiple personality disorders that may include talk therapy (psychotherapy) and more importantly medication. Although treating dissociative disorders can be difficult, many people learn new ways of coping and lead healthy, productive lives. The option to rejecting treatment could lead to things more serious like entering into multiple romantic relationships that hurt the other parties concerned.

Do mRNA covid vaccinations permanently change our DNA?
Well the answer to that is NO
It seems some here are addicted to anti-vax hysteria, and the pleasant (to them); resulting melodrama...
Sorry to disappoint the anti-vax brigade on here; but once again, they DO NOT permanently alter our DNA
Oh, and just what happens to those simply dastardly spike proteins? Well, once again; sorry to disappoint you all; but they are not permanent, either
