Have you ever wondered why human babies are so much more vulnerable at birth when compared to other newborn mammals? We can't walk, see very far, and our nervous system is still somewhat undeveloped. Turns out it's because of the relatively small size of the human pelvis which is what the baby has to pass through to get born. Since our bodies can't wait for babies to get any bigger, all human babies are effectively born premature and develop the skills most mammalian infants have immediately over the next year or so.

  8. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
