Today is ash Wednesday, it begins the Christian lent where they have to undergo a forty days fast to share in the suffering of what Jesus did on the cross to save mankind. Though they don't fast on Sunday but in their congregation of worship for the period of the lent, the atmosphere of worship depicts mourning. Some congregation don't use the drum when it's time to play music and the music played during that period usually sound sorrowful. Nevertheless, not all Christians observe lent or understands lent. Christianity in my part of the world is divide into four that I can remember, Roman Catholic, Protestant churches, Pentecostal and traditional religious churches. Lent I guess is mainly practice by the Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians. Our concern today is to tell us how this fast can bring natural healing to the body.

Fig1: Rod of Asclepius

The rod of Asclepius takes its name from a greek God Asclepius who is associated with healing and medical art. Looking closely, you notice most medical organizations uses it as a symbol. It is sometimes confused for caduceus which some medical organisations also use in North America.

The staff all have their greek history but according to philosophy, I learnt the oldest book in the world is the Bible. So whatever mythology associating a fiery snake upon a pole should be a copy cat.

They needed a doctor or a clinic or a medicine to save them from the serpent's venom, so Moses was tasked …

Premature ejaculation occur when a man expel semen immediately with minimal penile stimulation. The question is how premature is premature in sex when some individuals enjoy quickie. So premature is a function of both party having the intercourse but according to International society of Sexual Medicine, they define premature as ejaculation less than one minute after penetration. So no matter how much you love quickie, if you don't last more than a minute in bed then it's abnormal. Maybe you're suffering from premature ejaculation. The statistic of men sufferring from it should scare you, 1 out of every 3 men between the ages of 18 - 59 suffers from it. This should give some concern and hope knowing you're not along in it.

We have so many myths as how the hemp was discovered to be psychoactive. Some say, it was discovered by hunters. They noticed an environment where monkeys were easily captured. whenever they go there, they see lots of monkey sleeping some with the weed in there hands so they decided to experiment it and ate it and saw the vibes. Some other funny ones say it was a weed a god urinated on I guess that came out of smoking lots of weed. The truth is hemp as existed for a long time now.
