The Cellular Process That Is Key to Longevity (And 6 Ways to Boost It)

Ashley Swanson at TDW - 19 hours ago
The longevity-boosting, disease-preventing cellular process that we are referring to is called autophagy. It eliminates damaged cells and debris, and regenerates newer, healthier cells. It’s a cellular cleansing process analogous to cleaning your house. The goal with aging is to age well, and autophagy is key to just this. Autophagy not only predicts how healthy … Continue reading "The Cellular Process That Is Key to Longevity (And 6 Ways to Boost It)" The post The Cellular Process That Is Key to Longevity (And 6 Ways to Boost It) appeared first on TDW.

Letter to the Editor Ice age coming Australia’s Hottest Summer 2018/19 Report is Baloney — the BOM deliberately did not tell you of 33.5°C recorded at Rutherglen in 1938/1939 or Charles Sturt’s Records in 1828 it was a blistering 53.9 °C at Buddah lake. The BOM report is an insult to the 71 lives lost […]

Crazy Calm’s CBD Smooths the Edges of Instant Coffee

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
What has become completely clear is that the FDA is staying completely away from what is now the CBD product rollout. They actually said so. As far a locking down the actual specifics regarding benefits, it remains early days, yet plenty of folks are already switching to CBD in order to handle chronic pain and other health issues with success. By the way this is true folk science at its best. It works and they share. This tells me that the whole opioid industry is collapsing and will end up been a fraction of itself. Here we have a successful coffee product that delivers ... more »

Mastercard is pioneering new payment technology that identifies commuters by the way they walk

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
Sooner or later this problem is going to be fully solved. The truth be known, a wide range of property crimes have been made impractical and certainly it is becoming impossible to hide your identity. That is the big one and the rise of these complex crimes is more because the easy stuff is no longer working. We all have to be careful for a while longer, but not forever either. All good to see and i have no problem with this level of public disclosure when it ultimately will make criminal activity impossible. Strangely we are entering a world space in which natural crime will ... more »

'Glimmer Man' Witnessed by Georgia Deer Hunter

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
This is an excellent report. We now understand exactly how the Giant sloth is able to hide in plain view. In fact this observer was able to drill down and follow the luminous blob as it moved away. It is clear that his stand was right close by and when he did not go on, the creature then slowly left. It is actually an astonishing phenomena because it is not camouflage. i already knew that it could make itself part of a tree limb, but this is beyond even that. Not moving means it disappears. It is really quite incredible. Again, movement conforms fully with the Giant Slo... more »

The Transfiguration

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
Let us talk about this. It was an eye witness account. Now also understand that the practice of meditation will allow the observation of the Inner Sun through the third eye. Myself and other witnesses have confirmed this phenomena. This is physically impossible. Yet it is real. Flooding your spirit body using the Inner Sun will power up one's personal spirit body to form a radiant body. This is what is reported here. Likely at full power he can dissolve away his corporal existence here or even recreate it. We have again reports saying as much in the case of angels m... more »

Monday Montage

LL at Virtual Mirage - 19 hours ago
One last memory of Cash. There is a lot of small town in America. It rarely capture the headlines because fly-over country is generally ignored. There are more stories of people helping people than there are of people being mean. Johnny Cash's songs weren't about the old feather bed or about the guy whose girl left him, taking his pick-up truck and his dog. But the songs still resonated with small town America. Hollywood, and the politics of bi-coastal gender confusion are the stuff of tabloids and television when you live in a rural community. Your dad likely is not earning $500... more »
