How Eating Frequency Affects Our Immune System "...Eating too often puts stress on our cells, We have a system that removes waste and damaged particles from our cells: it is known as the autophagy system. Autophagy allows the cells to function more efficiently,which improves the functions of our organs, tissues, and the entire immune system.The number of inflammatory molecules in our blood is directly linked to the function of our autophagy system. Imagine there is trash lying around your house.You walk through the halls and the rooms and pick up the trash,put the trash in bags, and put the bags in cans by the street.Then the garbage collector comes by and takes the garbage;they put it into their truck and haul it off to the landfill or incinerator.This is what the autophagy system does within our bodies.The autophagy system has special cells that pick up the waste products and take them to the equivalent of the landfills or incinerators within our bodies. It takes our bodies 4-6 hours to digest, metaboliz

Tom Paladino is a scalar energy researcher based in Florida. Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy, or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy. Tom began research with Scalar Energy during his undergraduate years after developing a deep admiration for the father of Scalar Energy research or knowledge, Nikola Tesla. He was also able to study the work of a man Hieronymus who continued research on Scalar Energy. Hieronymus’ major contributions included unbinding the RNA/ DNA bonds of microbes plaguing the agricultural industry (rendering them harmless). The existence of such energy not found within the electromagnetic spectrum, fascinated Tom. Inspired by these findings, he pursued a course of independent study seeking to better understand and subsequently harness Scalar Energy, through the development of an instrument called “Scalar Light”.

".We’ll look at how e-scooters,e-bikes, pedestrians who text while jaywalking and legally walking across the streets with a sense of entitlement, and all of the above mentioned who play the game of "chicken with car drivers. have changed the streetscape in New York and raised safety concerns.E-powered machines can fill the gaps in urban transportation systems for trips to places that are too far to walk to but are too close for the subway or bus, they take up little, if any, street space for parking; and they are fun to ride,Their popularity surged with the pandemic.,George Diaz of the Bronx bought an e-scooter last year to reduce the risk of being exposed to the coronavirus on his crowded bus commute.“It saves me money,” At least 17 people have been killed while riding electric mobility vehicles this year,according to city officials.

"Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne's classic is as astonishing - and revealing - as it was on the day it was first published.  We play games all the time - sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends, Detailing status contests like "Martini" ( I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like " It It Weren't For You" and Uproar" to flirtation favorites like "The Stocking Game" and Lets You and Him Fight"  Dr. Berne exposes the secret plays and unconscious maneuvers the rule our intimate lives. Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. It's as powerful and eye-opening as ever."  James R, Allen MD

"For a whole host of economic, political and historical reasons,Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, says it’s a threat that African Americans need to take particularly seriously “We get a lot of misinformation circulating through our communities,” Benjamin said.“We fundamentally don’t trust some of the non-black institutions because they donot serve us well.We need to make sure our trusted institutions, clinicians of color, churches,community organizations,are better educated.”.The biggest challenge is the fact that  African Americans, start out with health outcomes that are disproportionately poor when compared to white Americans.The highest risk,if you get this disease,is to someone 60 or older with
