                            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. Fig 2: caduceus 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. In the Bible, referenced Numbers 21:8-9, Moses a servent of God who was tasked with taking the Isrealite out of Egypt the land they were held captive, to their promised land. On their journey, guess God wanted to teach them faith (read Num 21:4ff for details) so they were inflicted by a fiery serpent that claimed the lives of many. They needed a do...

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.

Many believe it is psychological but let's view their frame of reference and see it biologically. Although ejaculation is a reflex action controlled by the central nervous system, when the penis is trapped with blood, it causes an erection. ...

The Registrar at National Day Calendar declared National Hemp Day to be observed annually beginning on February 4th, 2019. The cbdMD are honoured as the official founder of the national hemp day. 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.

Everyone thought he was dead till someone worked a magic with a traditional medicine we had talked about in this blog that kept my mind disturbed about a scientific explanation to what I just witnessed.
