PMID:  PLoS One. 2016 ;11(5):e0154555. Epub 2016 May 2. PMID: 27135944 Abstract Title:  Evaluation of the Genetic Response of U937 and Jurkat Cells to 10-Nanosecond Electrical Pulses (nsEP). Abstract:  Nanosecond electrical pulse (nsEP) exposure activates signaling pathways, produces oxidative stress, stimulates hormone secretion, causes cell swelling and induces apoptotic and necrotic death. The underlying biophysical …

In nature, there are some biological processes that are almost unstoppable. Once the process is started it creates a cascade of reactions and, like a freight train barreling down the track, stopping it takes an immense amount of effort. One of the most classic of these, and perhaps the strongest in human biology, is labor. …

If you have shopped for CBD, you’ve probably seen products marked either “full-spectrum” or “isolate”. While these terms sound confusing, they simply refer to the variety ofcannabinoidd in the product. Here is a breakdown of the differences between Full-Spectrum and Isolate CBD. Full-Spectrum CBD is the most common variety you will find and the best …
