Lyme Disease: The CDC’s Greatest Coverup & What They Don’t Want You To Know
(Waking Times) Lyme Disease. Do you have it? If you did, you probably would not know, unless you’re one of the chronic sufferers that had to visit over 30 doctors to get properly diagnosed. Lyme disease tests are highly inaccurate. They’re often inconclusive or false negative.

Humans Are Hardwired for Music: Our Brains Appear Uniquely Tuned for Musical Pitch
(Science Daily) In the eternal search for understanding what makes us human, scientists found that our brains are more sensitive to pitch, the harmonic sounds we hear when listening to music, than our evolutionary relative the macaque monkey. The study, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, highlights the promise of Sound Health, a joint project between the NIH and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that aims to understand the role of music in health.
