I had an interesting dream a couple of weeks ago. Like most of my dreams, I am in an observer position, like I am watching a movie. In this dream, I was overhearing one person explain to another the essence of how to have a happy life. The essential point he was making was that […]
DMSO is an amazing solvent with powerful anti-inflammatory actions. It can also carry other molecules through the skin down to deeper tissues, including medications.

Just like some hybrid cars our chemical fuel constantly runs to turn a generator called the electron transport chain inside our mitochondria to produce electrical energy which is stored […]
