Connection between stress and autoimmune disease affirmed by massive 30-year study

[image: Does stress trigger the onset or development of autoimmune disease, or is the connection between stress...] This is all interesting and very suggestive. I see a clear pathway to understanding the benefits of CBDs here in tackling PTSD. There is nothing that compares with these huge studies to assert firm conclusions. My only regret when they are done is that we did not think up a lot more questions to ask. Thirty years is a long time. We need to see all researchers engaged in these types of programs as a matter of course. That way we can have dozens of such studies... more »

Human Destiny Revealed at the End of the Yellow Brick Road

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 hour ago
We are still a little short of heaven on Earth, but there the path is becoming clearer. For all of us, we truly are on the yellow brick road, but almost all fail to know this, believing instead that this is all that is. That turns out to be laughable. particularly once you understand the central role of those dark matter processors in every cell in producing order. I accepted my destiny a long time ago, and remain in wonder of just what that all means. I have been told that i will see my hundredth birthday and not when i will pass from this world.

Dogman Accounts & Commen

The inventory of available reports continues to grow. It took a long time for me to fish out the first twenty or so, but how we do have a common descriptor with dogman and until we capture a couple we will not be able to identify it as the Giant Sloth. There is a range of sizes and we normally see the males. the females are smaller and sport a large tail and lack the robust upper shoulder structures, thus looking more like a dog. It is the male seen on two legs commonly as well. It seems to be able to project fear as well. *Upright Canine / Dogman Accounts & Comments* *http... more »

The Indian Crossroads: Will Modi Choose Putin Or Trump?

Andrew KORYBKO at OrientalReview.org - 2 hours ago
