科学研究证实,猫的呼噜声产生的振动频率在 25 到 150 赫兹之间,可以加速骨骼愈合,改善组织修复。

猫在休息、压力或疼痛时会自然发出呼噜声,这些频率可以刺激骨密度,促进猫和人类的康复。

医学研究人员正在探索利用呼噜声频率进行治疗,包括开发模拟这种振动以促进人体骨骼和肌肉愈合的设备。这一发现凸显了生物学和医学之间令人惊讶的交集,表明动物的自然行为如何能够启发创新性的健康解决方案。

养只猫吧,我们需要从动物身上学到很多东西。治愈、慰藉、科学,所有这些都浓缩在这个毛茸茸的小家伙身上。 😹😹🥰

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

I was told by a reporter in October that the White House was looking to prosecute me because I stood against their inhumane agenda.

Days later, they did exactly that.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

They will willingly and happily throw anyone under the bus to save themselves. This admiral needs to speak out but they probably already forced him to sign a NDA. Probably threatening him and his family to take whatever happens and roll with it even if it’s a prison term.
