A person’s sex drive will naturally fluctuate throughout their life, increasing at certain times and decreasing at others. However, if a person finds that they constantly lack desire and are generally not interested in sex, they may have hyperactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). People with HSDD experience little or no sexual desire or drive and find that this leads to personal or relational distress. If you have low or no sex drive and it doesn’t bother you, it’s not considered HSDD. It’s important to note that low desire can be related to other medical conditions or changes in a person’s…
By Shelley Lemaire, Incoming Souls It is an extraordinary meeting, the moment we look at our newborn baby. A moment that takes our breath away and there will never be a more intimate or life changing moment… Everything we knew we were now is forever changed by this being, this baby we meet for the first time… but the familiar of this first meeting, this “first contact” surpasses all our “acquaintances” to date. We know this soul, this child, that we are now just beginning to know in their newborn body. Everything that we are has just been torn…
This Kangen Water review is an opinion. When I first posted about Kangen a few years ago, I immediately received a flood of mean, angry messages from Kangen sellers and devotees (but mostly sellers). Most wanted to tell me how wrong I was and that their uncle/mother/neighbor/whoever cured their cancer/can now walk/cure their autoimmune disease with Kangen water from their Kangen water machine. People in my comments have told me that Kangen water has kept them from getting the flu for 10 years and cured their friends of AIDS and cancer. Many of them sound like this: Have you ever…

CRISPR-Cas systems, defense systems in bacteria, have become an abundant source of technologies for molecular diagnostics. Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-Based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg expanded this extensive toolbox. Their new method, called PUMA, enables the detection of RNA with Cas12 nucleases, which naturally target DNA. PUMA promises a wide range of applications and high precision. The team published their results in the journal Nature Communications. Bacteria have developed special defense mechanisms to protect themselves from viruses, which by no means only infect humans. As part of these so-called CRISPR-Cas systems, a CRISPR ribonucleic acid (crRNA), which…
I’d have to say I’m a glass-half-full kind of person. I’ve always disliked being this way (obviously). While many of my friends would seemingly not have a care in the world, there I was generally fed up with something or thinking the worst. It just came naturally to me. Maybe you are the same – you get wrapped up in negative thoughts and before you know it, you are fixated on those thoughts before you realize an hour has passed… Having a negative mindset puts a gray filter on everything. Nothing looks exciting and everything is potentially annoying. A negative…
