Life, Interrupted

Not everyone can donate blood. You may have lived during certain years in countries later found to be fighting Mad Cow Disease; you may be taking meds that cannot be easily filtered out; you may be in an immune-compromised state, and your white blood cells always bail first.

But if you can give blood? Here is one of the places that blood might be used. Another way they magically save lives. "Endless blood" saves the lives of new mothers where before, for thousands of years, we lost those women.

It really is the gift of life.

During my recovery I became hypersensitive to taking supplemental Vitamin C, and stopped it. I get fresh lemon juice every day, instead. Here's another study showing us that free radicals are not (at the least) the only reason aging sets in.

Are boys becoming an endangered species? Check out this article and see for yourself.

WOW.

Small beyond imagining....and some just plain weird.

NASA MODELS SHOW TREES CAN SLOW INCREASE OF ATMOSPHERIC CARBON

"Converting marginal agricultural land to forests may help slow the increase of carbon in the atmosphere, according to model-based results obtained by NASA scientists using space-based Earth observations and a state-of-the-art ecosystem model."

SNIP!

"When the research was analyzed, the top five states identified as having a high carbon storage potential by converting croplands to newly developed forests were Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. The top five states with potential for converting rangelands or pastures were Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Colorado.

Research suggested that the southeast region of the United States has the most favorable conditions for afforestation due to its subtropical climate. In addition, model results suggested that large areas of croplands in South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin showed potential for carbon management and shouldn’t be underestimated."
