  • Death, Aging, Rejuvenation (Part 2)

    Death

    Death. Why it happens? Why do we die? Why do animals die? Why do plants die? What is the need of this? In my opinion mechanism of death was selected during Evolution.

    From the position of Darwin's theory of Natural Selection everything, that benefits survival of species and gives advantage in Natural Selection, is preserved in following generations.

    Improvements were often left unchanged from the moment of life appearance. Though there could be other ways, certain mechanisms were accidentally selected. These improvements are reproduced in the genome of more complex s ...

  • Health Profiling: Recognizing the Physical Causes of Insomnia

    Insomnia is often thought to be related to stress or anxiety, but those are only two of the reasons that this condition might surface. There are numerous physical circumstances that might serve as the catalyst for sleeplessness – some more closely associated to women than men. The bottom line is that, whenever a person deviates from their normal sleep pattern as the result of a lack of sleep, something within their life – or their health profile – has gone awry and needs to be addressed.

    Women tend to be the victims of insomnia more often than their male counterparts. This is partiall ...

  • Promethean Hispanic Fire

    In the Greek tale of creation, a Titan (Greek god) by the name of Epimetheus is given the task of creating living creatures. He screws the job up by giving all the good DNA and survival mechanisms to the animals. When it came time to creating man he had nothing left but soft skin and weak limbs.

    Desperate, he calls upon his brother Prometheus (which means forethought) to help him out. Prometheus decides to give humans the ability to walk upright and be able to see far away into the distance (like gods). Prometheus then flies to heaven, steals fire from the sun and gives it to mankind. ...

  • Does your Water Supply contain Drugs or Toxins
    Scientists have discovered Pharmaceutical Drugs and Toxins in the Water Supply, Are you drinking this potentially dangerous cocktail.

    Water treatment plants are set up to eliminate certain types of waste materials, such as pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals from the water supply. They cannot however cope, neither are they equipped to deal with pharmaceuticals, as you will probably know, up to 90% of drugs that are taken in to our bodies, is eliminated by the kidneys and urine, so whatever passes through our bodies, eventually end up back at the water treatment plant and then in to ...

    The true measure of social consciousness is prisons. They tell more about society than any travelogue possibly could.

Let the taxpayer suffer from his crime. Let the taxpayer pay for his maintenance and conversion. Let the taxpayer support his family. Let his children grow up with no father. See if they dare follow in his footsteps. Let the taxpayer pay for any feeble attempt at his rehabilitation. Le ...
