Ebola (Orthoebolavirus zairense) is a highly sophisticated filovirus that relies on complex molecular evasion, the exploitation of immune-privileged sanctuaries, and the induction of societal disruption to ensure its survival and propagation, challenging its traditional, simplified classification as merely an agent of acute hemorrhagic fever.

+++ Sehr interessant für Herrn #Söder #CSU #Bayern - und alle anderen harten Männer 😀 🌱 🤸‍♂️ Seid jetzt gaaaanz stark‼️

Eine aktuelle #Studie zeigt, dass #Cannabiskonsum bei jungen Männern den #Testosteronspiegel nicht senkt, sondern die #Hodensynthese des Hormons um etwa 23 % zu erhöhen scheint.

Yes, we took a couple days off, and really needed to recharge.
Was working on a few big projects when I could—air conditioner died and just can't keep the comp room cool enough. New unit will be in late Monday. Though been up early before the heat comes up. Anyhow first going to finish working on those projects I mentioned.

Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining deteriorates, allowing harmful bacterial antigens to enter the bloodstream. Researchers have discovered that phytic acid (InsP6)—a natural compound found in grains, beans, and seeds—acts as a biologically active molecule to maintain and repair this critical intestinal barrier.
