There is a theory that the spark of genius lurks hidden within all of us. Now scientists are developing a ‘thinking cap’ that could turn that theory into practice and unlock the amazing potential of the human brain.
The device uses tiny magnetic pulses to change the way the brain works and has [...]
By now you may have heard in the news about the heath hazards of BPA, or Bisphenol-A, which is found in polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are clear, hard plastics and epoxy resins that coat the inside of almost all canned beverages and foods. It can be found in type 3 and type 7 [...]

Rarely Used Ways To Detect Skin Cancer…
ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR!
basal cell carcinoma
Sometimes not as obvious as the picture above, basal cell cancer, sometimes called non-melanoma skin cancer, usually appears as a small, fleshy bump or nodule on the head, neck, or hands. Occasionally, these nodules appear on the trunk of the body, [...]
Scientists have been able to re-program skin cells into stem cells: cells that can be turned into any kind of cell in the body! - Although Not 100% exactly the same as stem cells from embryonic sources (yet), scientists think they may actually be easier to match to a patients (prevent rejection) since they could [...]
O.K. - O.K. It might be an over-simplification, but think about it! How many empty calories do you drink or eat per day? - Now compound that with how few glasses of water you actually drink per day! I think this might be the “elephant-in-the-room” that no-one wants to really talk about!
Really look closely at [...]
I’m no scientist, but I recently read an amazing article about how DNA is being completely re-examined. It seems scientists have found that DNA works much differently than they expected! I didn’t understand many of the details, but it seems that RNAi (RNA interference) has a lot more to do in controlling DNA than they [...]
