Homosexuality and Pederasty in the Ancient and Pagan Worldview 1/3 - Hellenes and Vedic India
Let us begin our inventory by looking at the ancient objects that have survived until today, here upon the Greek vases, emblematic of this period. In fact, some of these have often been used to counterfeit an anachronistic reading, to stick a "modern" vision…
Covid-19 And Sleep
Melatonin’s effects on sleep is well known
But it plays as well a crucial part in calibrating the Immunsystem
Essentially, it acts as a moderator to help keep our self-protective responses from going haywire, which can turn a mild case of COVID-19 into a life-threatening scenario.
People taking melatonin have significantly lower odds of developing COVID-19.
study’s found that intubated patients had better rates of survival if they received melatonin. Part of Donald Trump’s COVID-19 treatment, —melatonin.
Eight clinical trials are currently ongoing, around the world, to see if these melatonin correlations bear out. Few other treatments are receiving so much research attention. If melatonin actually proves to help people, it would be the cheapest and most readily accessible medicine to counter COVID-19.
But scientists suggest that the real issue at play may not be melatonin at all, but the function it most famously controls:

Why we Sleep
A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this “stimulating and important book” is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions.

Drug Reverses Age-Related Mental Decline
in Mice
The mantra in the field was that brain damage is permanent – irreversible
. “How could a single treatment with a small molecule make cognitive deficits disappear overnight?”
“ISRIB’s extremely rapid effects show for the first time that a significant component of age-related cognitive losses may be caused by a kind of reversible physiological “blockage” rather than more permanent degradation,”

Drug Reverses Age-Related Mental Decline in Mice
The study was peer reviewed and published in the open-access journal eLife. It says the drug, called ISRIB, restored cognitive abilities in older mice and rejuvenated brain and immune cells.
