Have we finally found the solution for obesity? GLP-1 agonist drugs like ozempic and wegovy are the closest that we have come to putting the brakes on obesity. They work by suppressing appetite. Since the surge in their usage, obesity rates have declined some, and a good chunk of the decline may be directly attributable to them. Downsides? 1. They are not a "cure." Once you start, you can't stop. It's like exercise - if you stop doing it, you'll go in reverse gear. 2. Expensive. Insurance may not cover it unless it is for a coded condition like diabetes, and it may cost $500 per month. 2. Some people experience very unpleasant side-effects like nausea/vomiting. kepler37b and Lord 1 1

randomGuy Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I was shocked to know that our hearts have neurons (some 40k) , meaning it has memory too. Hridaya is not merely the physical pump; in Ayurveda and Yoga, it is the center of consciousness, emotions, and awareness...in Indian spirituality there is the concept of hriday akash. .Hridaya means heart, and Akasha signifies space or ether. Together, they refer to the "space within the heart"....Modern neurocardiology,could we say validates the ancient idea of the heart as a seat of intelligence? the gut has several million neurons btw. Which is why digestion works even under anesthesia.
BacktoCricaddict Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/02/universal-vaccine.html Very, very, preliminary - still in the preclinical animal-study stage, but quite exciting if it comes to fruition after rigorous trials are completed. Quote Stanford Medicine researchers and collaborators have taken an astonishing step forward in that quest, surprising even themselves. In a new study in mice, they have developed a universal vaccine formula that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria and even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally — such as through a nasal spray — and provides broad protection in the lungs for several months. In the study that was published Nov. 19 in Science, researchers showed that vaccinated mice were protected against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii (common hospital-acquired infections), and house dust mites (a common allergen). In fact, the new vaccine has worked for a remarkably wide spectrum of respiratory threats the researchers have tested, said Bali Pulendran, PhD, the Violetta L. Horton Professor II and a professor of microbiology and immunology who is the study’s senior author. The lead author of the study is Haibo Zhang, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar in Pulendran’s lab. If translated into humans, such a vaccine could replace multiple jabs every year for seasonal respiratory infections and be on hand should a new pandemic virus emerge.
