  • Fat Malabsorption SyndromeFat Malabsorption Syndrome
    It wouldn’t hurt any of us to be using fat absorption supplements, starting off with digestive enzymes, specifically lipase, which is a generic term for a class of enzymes that dissolves fat. It’s found in pancreatin (available as a supplement) which is a group of enzymes that is made by the pancreas. These fat absorbing enzymes can improve overall health not only digestion.
  • Mental Flexibility, Health & HappinessMental Flexibility, Health & Happiness
    We are marooned on an island of meaning, our own meaning and the best we can hope for is to understand this built-in facet of the human experience and operate accordingly.

      As has often been the case since the Iran War has started, the U.S. corporate media, whether "left" leaning or "right" leaning, is reporting news on this war that is far different from what is being reported outside of the U.S. media. So here are two very recent interviews that are both only about 30 minutes long, giving the "other side" of what actually […]

      After insulting millions of Catholics last year after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope last May on Truth Social, Trump has again angered millions of Christians in the U.S. and around the world by posting an image of himself as Jesus yesterday on his Truth Social platform, which apparently has been since removed due to the outcry against […]

    • Even the Worst Sinner, Including Satanic Jews, Can be Forgiven through Jesus Christ
      by Brian-Admin on April 11, 2026 at 11:59 pm

      I have found throughout my life that there are very many Christians who carry around guilt, because they cannot attain to the high standards of morality and religious life that is taught in all the various versions of the Christian Cult. So many people believe that they have committed horrible sins that God could never forgive, because they have been […]

    • Scientists remove “zombie” cells and reverse liver damage in mice
      on April 16, 2026 at 11:59 am

      A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation. Researchers found these cells accumulate with age and high cholesterol—and can make up most of the liver’s immune cells in older mice. When scientists removed them, liver damage was dramatically reversed, even without diet changes.

      on April 16, 2026 at 6:56 am

      New research suggests that aiming for a lower blood pressure target may deliver bigger heart health benefits than previously thought. Using large datasets and simulation models, scientists found that keeping systolic blood pressure below 120 mm Hg could reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure more than higher targets.

    • Mineral of the Day: MagnesiumMineral of the Day: Magnesium
      Taking 1 or 2 grams at bedtime can be very relaxing and higher doses (10 grams or so) can function as a laxative. Magnesium is found in chlorophyll-containing foods. Halibut and almonds are also good food sources. Some of the better supplemental forms of magnesium are magnesium glycinate, magnesium aspartate. It’s a good idea to try to take at least 1500-2000 mg of magnesium a day.
