Oxygen-Depleted Toxic Oceans Had Key Role in Mass Extinction Over 200 Million Years Ago
Apr. 1, 2015 — Changes in the biochemical balance of the ocean were a crucial factor in the end-Triassic mass extinction, during which half of all plant, animal and marine life on Earth perished, according to new ... full story -
Soil Organic Matter Susceptible to Climate Change
Mar. 31, 2015 — Soil organic matter, long thought to be a semi-permanent storehouse for ancient carbon, may be much more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought. Scientists have found that the common ... full story -
Can 'Ghosts' Cause Bad Air? Poor Indoor Air Quality and 'Sightings'
Mar. 31, 2015 — A team of researchers is studying possible links between reported hauntings and indoor air quality. It is known that some fungi, such as rye ergot fungus, may cause severe psychosis in... full story -
How a Deadly Fungus Evades the Immune System
Mar. 31, 2015 — New research has scientists re-thinking how a lethal fungus grows and kills immune cells. The study hints at a new approach to therapy for Candida albicans, one of the most common causes of... full story -
Pig-Borne Disease Most Likely Jumped Into Humans When Rearing Practices Changed
Mar. 31, 2015 — The most virulent strains of Streptococcus suis, the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in adult humans in parts of southeast Asia and in pigs around the world, are likely to have evolved and... full story -
Why Slimy Cheats Don’t Win: 'Cheating' Amoebae Don't Survive Better Than 'Cooperating' Amoebae
Mar. 31, 2015 — Darwin's evolutionary theory predicts survival of the fittest. So why do different survival tactics co-exist, if evolution should always favor the winning strategy? To answer that question ... full story -
Biology in a Twist: Deciphering the Origins of Cell Behavior
Mar. 31, 2015 — The inherent ‘handedness’ of molecular structures directs the behavior of individual cells and confers them the ability to sense the difference between left and right. This is a significant step... full story -

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
