Yes, Men and Women Are Physiologically Different, and New Science Proves It
(Vicki Batts) In a world where the obvious differences between the sexes is no longer enough, even studying what makes men and women different causes controversy. Recently published research underscoring the distinctions between males and females is being lambasted by the mainstream media with so-called experts accusing the study as being “agenda-driven.”
Ways Social Media Hurts Pair Bonding, Spiritual Growth, and Loving Relationships: Why It’s Hard to Find Love in Today’s World
(Justin Deschamps) Social media launched into our lives in a swift and prolific way. Due to the positive feedback loop effect of social trends, the more people that joined the more felt compelled to follow along or miss out. This technology is having a massive effect on human life, particularly relationships, disturbing a delicate pair bonding process that draws from biological factors, which themselves, draw from spiritual impulses. For the modern person, forming a lasting and valuable bond with another human being could be more challenging than ever.
The Endocannabinoid System and the Important Role It Plays in Human Health
(Dr. Joseph Mercola) Hemp has been outlawed in the U.S. since 1938. Thankfully, the latest Farm Bill signed into law at the end of 2018 makes it legal. In this interview, board-certified clinical nutritionist and expert on phytocannabinoids, Carl Germano, discusses the exciting implications of this change.

The Human Eye has a Spooky Ability: It can Detect “Ghost Images”
(Janine Acero) Some people claim they can see apparitions, things that aren’t really there, or just straight up ghosts. If you’re a skeptical person, you may chalk it up to fatigue, drunkenness, or even hallucinations — anything but actual ghosts. But there may be a sliver of truth to those claims after all. In a new paper posted on arXiv, scientists in Scotland at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow have discovered that the human eye can actually detect “ghost images.”
The Center of our Brain Contains a Secret of Monumental Importance
(Adam Goldberg) It’s the duty of every person to educate the generation that comes after them, the younger sibling generation, the people a few years younger than them, on whatever they feel is important: street smarts. In California, you’d call that lacing them with some game.
The Wrong Gut Bacteria Found to Cause Brain Blood Vessel Lesions That Lead to Strokes and Seizures
(Russel Davis) A recent study published in Nature revealed that intestinal bacteria may alter the brain’s blood vessel structure, which in turn may play a role in the development of malformations that result in stroke or epilepsy. As part of the research, a team of health experts at the University of Pennsylvania examined the probable causes of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) in genetically-engineered mice. CCMs were characterized by clusters of dilated, thin-walled blood vessels that trigger seizures or stroke at the event of blood leakage to the surrounding brain tissue.
Why Every Home Should Have a Himalayan Salt Lamp
(Michelle Simmons) Himalayan salt lamps are made from pink salt crystals, which are mined from the edge of the Himalayan Mountains. Their color range from light pink to pink with an orange color, depending on the mineral concentration. These lamps have been gaining the attention of many people recently not only due to their attractive color, but also because of their health benefits. Here are some of them:
Leonardo da Vinci & the New Biology
(Sayer Ji) Biological Science has been under the spell of Newton’s atomistic view of the universe since the late 17th century. Yet revolutionary new discoveries in molecular biology reveal a connectivity and proportionality embedded within our bodies and the biosphere as a whole reminiscent of ideas once held by visionaries like Leonardo da Vinci.
Biology Matters: Male and Female Brains Have Distinct Differences in Architecture, Activity and Function, Say Scientists
(David Williams) Much has been said about the supposed similarities between males and females over the past few decades. However, the science has always been quite clear. Biologically speaking, there are only the male and female genders. There’s no such thing as “gender fluidity” except as an imaginary construct. Now new research on the human brains reveals secrets about just how different the two genders truly are.

Scientists Have Discovered Over 7 Senses That You Probably Never Heard of
(Adam Goldberg) Do you remember being taught in school that there are only five senses? Well, it seems that the general consensus on that is changing quite a bit. It has been said that a particularly sharp person may be able to use up to 12 senses.

Stress: It’s Not in Your Head, it’s in Your Nervous System
(Melody Walford) Have you ever been told when you’re stressed to stop worrying and just relax? That it’s all in your head? It would be nice if it were that simple. But it’s not.
