Live Blood Cell Analysis is a simple procedure for obtaining a quick assessment of live blood cells. It is an assessment tool.

Flu, cold or COVID-19?
The question is how can you differentiate between COVID-19 and the flu? Or the cold? They seem quite similar in terms of symptoms you might have. They are all respiratory illnesses, so the lungs are primarily infected. They all affect your breathing. Both make your life miserable for a shorter or longer period of time. […]
“Open schools. No masks”
Sweden’s top virologist has a message on how to defeat coronavirus: Open schools and no masks. The following is an excerpt from an article in Fortune (August 05, 2020, www.fortune.com).

Sweden: the future of pandemic response?
We are becoming public health experts with this pandemic. Which is not bad. It is always better to appeal to the intelligence of the people, to give them all the information needed for an informed decision/consent, then just ask them to follow the government blindly.

Sleep deprivation and you
Sleep deprivation occurs when someone does not get a healthy amount of sleep. People vary in how little sleep is needed to be considered sleep-deprived. Some people such as older adults seem to be more resistant to the effects of sleep deprivation, while others, especially children and young adults, are more vulnerable. Simply defined, sleep […]
Deadly herbs
They may look harmless enough, but plants can harbor some of the most deadly poisons known. From the death of Socrates by poison hemlock (cicuta) to the accidental ingestion of deadly nightshade (belladonna) by children because of their berries’ sweetness (3 berries can kill a child!), poisonous plants have been responsible for human deaths throughout history.
Seasonal allergies
Allergies are an exaggerated immune reaction to normally harmless substances known as allergens. It is basically a dysfunction of your immune system. An allergen is something that triggers an allergic response. When a susceptible person is first exposed to an allergen, an immune response is activated. This is the normal response of the body to […]
