WOW! Karma works in mysterious ways, in this case protecting copyright from a person who thinks he's 'above' the law? Do you support this legal 'action' by the 'iconic' Kenny Loggins, YES or no? 🙋‍♂️ #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw #SueTrump #ProtectArtistsRightsFromThieves ⤵️

Do people on SSRIs know this link to worsening bone health? "Because antidepressants, which are widely used around the world, are reported to increase the risk of bone fracture and reduce bone formation, we were curious to see how they might affect dental implants," says Prof.

You know you’re truly free when you can recall your life’s experiences without carrying the emotional weight. Healing begins when memory no longer equals pain.

Kids are not designed to be sitting under artificial light, inside, strapped to a desk, looking at computer screens following instructions. No flourishing culture treats children this way. Take your pill like a good little citizen, sit down, shut up and follow orders.

I'm kinda horrified to learn that certain antidepressants can cause genital numbness and dysfunction+ empathy & emotional dampening and that those side effects can be permanent since they are hypothesized to be caused at least some of them by epigenetic changes.

Blog by @MaryanneDemasi '73% of drugs approved by the FDA.. failed to meet all four basic criteria for demonstrating “substantial evidence” of effectiveness.' 'FDA’s threshold for evidence “can’t go any lower because it’s already in the dirt.”'

A two-year investigation reveals a broken approval system where ineffective—and sometimes deadly—drugs are fast-tracked to market without solid evidence.

It is at that moment, with a former prostitute as first lady, that you realize the United States no longer has any credibility. She is the worst “First Lady” in History. Do you agree?

Bear in mind this is just their immediate effects - lots more adverse effects kick in later (e.g. weight gain, osteoporosis)
