«A esta generación y a muchas otras se les ha hecho creer que el diablo era un mito, una figura, una idea, la idea del mal ¡pero el diablo existe y nosotros debemos combatir contra él! ¡Lo dice San Pablo, no lo digo yo! ¡Lo dice la Palabra de Dios! Aunque no estamos muy convencidos de ello». Papa Francisco. Homilía en Santa Marta, 30 de Octubre de 2014.

Resembling the tiny parts of an impossibly intricate and eye-catching timepiece, strewn from a watchmakers toolkit, these are in fact fossil Crinoids, Corals, Bryozoans and Brachiopods.
putting raw onion juice on your scalp to regrow hair sounds absolutely insane until you read the dermatology study showing 87% of participants had significant regrowth in 6 weeks. then it sounds like the most effective natural hair treatment ever documented
the mechanism is sulfur. onion juice contains one of the highest natural concentrations of sulfur compounds of any food. sulfur is a critical building block of keratin which is the protein your hair is made of. it also has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that restore scalp health at the follicular level
- a study published in the Journal of Dermatology tested crude onion juice applied twice daily to the scalp. 86.9% of participants showed significant hair regrowth at 6 weeks. the control group showed 13%. the difference was statistically overwhelming
- the sulfur in onion juice improves collagen production around hair follicles. collagen provides the structural scaffolding that the follicle needs to produce thick, well-anchored hair
- quercetin, a flavonoid concentrated in onions, is a potent anti-inflammatory that reduces the chronic scalp inflammation associated with pattern hair loss. it also inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT
- the antimicrobial properties eliminate malassezia fungus and other scalp pathogens that contribute to folliculitis and dandruff. both conditions accelerate hair loss by creating an inhospitable environment for follicle function
- the sulfur compounds increase glutathione production in skin cells which protects follicles from oxidative damage. oxidative stress is one of the underrecognized drivers of premature hair loss
- onion juice increases blood circulation to the scalp through vasodilation similar to minoxidil but through a different pathway involving hydrogen sulfide signaling
the hair restoration industry charges $15,000 for a transplant and $40/month for minoxidil. an onion costs $0.50 and produced 87% regrowth rates in a clinical study. nobody is promoting this because there's no profit margin in an onion
blend a raw onion. strain the juice through cheesecloth. apply to scalp with a cotton pad. leave for 30-60 minutes. wash out with a mild shampoo. twice weekly. add a drop of peppermint oil if the smell bothers you. results visible in 4-6 weeks
the most effective natural hair regrowth treatment ever studied in a clinical setting costs less than a dollar and sits in your kitchen right now
The "Good" towels...reserved for "company". When My mom died, at 84 years old, we went through the closets and drawers. Over a dozen of towels like these, never used even once. We NEVER had overnight guests in our house, she saved those towels from decades, for company that never stayed the night. USE the GOOD TOWELS! WEAR THE FANCY DRESS! SPRAY that expensive perfume on yourself, even if you are going to the grocery store! Our days are numbered in this planet....what are we saving this stuff for?

Se cuenta que Santa Teresa de Jesús, yendo un día por las escaleras del Monasterio de la Encarnación en Ávila, se tropezó con un hermoso Niño.
Sorprendida por ver un niño dentro de la clausura monacal, se dirigió a él preguntándole:- ¿Y tú quién eres?
El niño le replicó a su

EASY high protein chicken salad that just works.
This has lots of Mediterranean food flavors, plus 134g protein in total. Divide this into 3 super filling servings, to get 44g protein for just 370 calories.
This combination is so delicious, so refreshing, with lots of Mediterranean flavors. I added a touch of pickle juice to the dressing for a flavor kick - it brings everything together, and it adds such a nice touch.
I’ve lost over 150 eating high-protein, lowcarb meals like this. Scoop it with some lowcarb crackers, stuff it into lettuce cups, pile it into wraps, or if you’re not lowcarb some toasted sourdough & avocado.
Here’s how I made it:
1️⃣ Add 3 cups pulled or diced cooked chicken to a salad bowl. Add 4-5oz of finely chopped arugula or baby kale, 3 finely diced Persian cucumbers, 3 finely diced celery stalks, 1/2 small diced red onion, 3 thinly sliced scallions, and lots of fresh mint (about 4-5 tbsp).
2️⃣ In a separate jar, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2.5 tbsp mayo, 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp pickle juice, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 tsp olive oil. Shake until smooth. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
3️⃣ Pour the dressing over the salad, then toss gentlym taste and adjust however way you want.
4️⃣ You can add some more fresh mint on top before serving, or some crushed up walnuts, pistachios or pine nuts.
If you make it, be sure to let me know on SHREDHAPPENS 🔥 I share easy high protein recipes, lowcarb meals, and lots of Mediterranean food, so check it out!
ENJOY!
