HEPATITIS TODAY; LET'S ELIMINATE IT

Image
A healthy mind they say resides in a healthy body. It is an undisputable fact that an individual can only be productive in life if he or she has a sound health from which sound minds are borne. As humans, we are exposed to so many diseases; talk of those that can be seen or cannot be seen. To an extent, some of these diseases pose more threat to the human life than others do. Some of such diseases you can think of include; Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Rabies,  Aspergillosis, Cryptococcal meningitis, Tetanus and others. I believe with each of the aforementioned diseases, you may want to hear more or know more even though you might have heard quite a little about them  ; but unfortunately and for the sake of the article title at hand, I will just take you through one very common disease amongst them which is putting humanity on lots of danger; and that I'm referring to 'HEPATITIS'. Hepatitis is one disease that comes in many forms and I'm even sure the types in which...

A friend with "weed" is a friend in need

Without too much pharmacology or phytochemistry and words like Tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol,  cannabinol,  tetrahydrocannabivar, CB1 &2 receptors, I seek to simply get the message well absorbed. So in spite of my strong predisposition to use big scientific words I will try to use simple english as much as possible. For clarity sake. It will be unfair not acknowledge that this piece was purely inspired by the great piece by Prince Acquah Rockson under the Heading, "A friend with weed is a friend indeed." A recreational user takes marijuana for the effect it creates and the high or buzz they want to get from it. Continued use builds up tolerance and can lead users to consume stronger drugs to achieve the same high. Drug dealers, motivated by the profits they make, will say anything to get you to buy their drugs. some of the stories they tell includes but not limited to increase in academic performance and increase in manual productivity and the al...

A friend with weed is a friend indeed

A friend with weed is a friend indeed is now a prevalent proverb that was brought out of the old and wise saying, " A friend in need is a friend indeed." In recent times, the use of hard drugs has become very common especially among the youth. Among them, it has been realized that weed has the highest rate of consumption and this is due to the legal terms that has been associated with weed. In some parts of the world, for instance Nevada the domestic use of weed has been legalized and it was surprising to know the number of people who queued to get some rolls of weed. The question i ask myself is, " Does weed now do us more good than harm or it has been genetically modified to perform miracles?" The answers to these questions are subjective depending on opinions or testimonies that have and are being shared. I doubt physicians now recommend weed as a cure or treatment of an ailment yet people argue on its good medicinal effect and its ability to affect your emotio...

ORIGIN OF LIFE

Image
As a young Christian scientist, i have met a lot of debates as to how the life began. Where as the religious ones say the earth has a Creator who is superior to all, the scientists believe and attribute origin of life to a physical force, THE BIG BANG THEORY  and EVOLUTION. Creation is the art of bringing something new into existence . As a Christian i would speak on the Christian  perspectives of creation. In the very first chapter of the Bible which is Genesis chapter 1 gives a vivid account of the order in which creation took place. It even goes further to say it was only man that was created with the HAND OF GOD. The rest of all organisms were spoken words. ORDER OF CREATION.(GEN1:1-27) FIRST DAY- Heaven and Earth, Day and night & light and darkness SECOND DAY - firmament to seperate the heavens from earth THIRD DAY - separate water from land and created plants. FOURTH DAY - luminary bodies FIFTH DAY: fishes, birds and beasts SIXTH DAY- man The Bible though...
