read moreIt’s Leap Year: Did You Know This About Leap Day?
Do you feel like doing something out of the ordinary today? It might be because on Leap Day interesting things have happened throughout history. Everyone knows you have 365 days on the calendar, but nearly every four years you get an extra day. This happens since nearly every four years the dates on the calendar don’t line up with the true year, or the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun. In other words, leap year is the year an extra day is added to the month of February to synchronize the seasons with the calendar. If...
read moreAll Wrong About Alzheimer’s

Straining can increase your risk of bowel and pelvic problems, while how you clean up afterward may have an impact on your...

While the drug industry is quick to claim that anyone questioning its integrity is part of a “war against science,” the evidence of industry malfeasance is simply too great and too disturbing to ignore. From my perspective, the drug industry itself is to blame for the public’s dwindling confidence in scientific findings. Loss of confidence is a natural result when lie after lie is unearthed, and there’s been no shortage of scientific scandals to shake public confidence in recent years. One researcher who has helped...

In February 2020, a 4-year-old boy from Colorado tragically died from complications from influenza.
