No More Dental Implants, Grow Teeth by Yourself in Only 9 Weeks

The leader of a team from Columbian University, Dr. Jeremy Mao came up with the wildest futuristic discovery. He claims that there is a way to build a specific ‘’scaffold’’ made from stem cells.

So, this place or template will allow the new tooth to grow there. As Dr. Mao states, this discovery may end the need for dental surgery.

How it Works

According to Dr. Mao, the fast regeneration begins when the steam cells together with the tooth start to merge with the tissue around the place where you want to grow your tooth. The stem cells replace the tooth that is missing and helps regrow the missing tooth.

Even though it is easier to go to the dentist and replace the missing tooth, this method is a natural solution because the teeth come from stem cells.

This method is highly used especially for broken bones or even for genetic disorders.

Furthermore, it is crucial for the dentist to organize and know what kind of procedures the patient needs. It takes 9 weeks for this method to work.

The typical tooth replacement or extraction can take up to a year to recover, so this method not only is it faster, but it also doesn’t involve any foreign materials to replace the tooth.

It is sometimes hard for the body to get used to the foreign object that’s in the body. Thus, this method is a perfect and natural solution for anyone who wants to try it out.

However, the research is not published yet because it is still in the testing phase. Besides, if this proves to work, it will take dental care to a whole new level.

This new technology seems too good to be true because we all want to save money and at the same time get even better results.

Crazy and unusual discoveries such as this one will surely improve our way of life and even advance technology. Hopefully, it will soon be available to the public.

HERE ARE 10 SIGNS THAT YOU WILL BE DIVORCED SOON

Most of the fairy tales, cartoons, and movies we grew up with, teach us that at some point you’ll meet the right person, fall in love, overcome some obstacles and then you’ll marry and live happily after.

However, in reality, more than one-third of marriages are expected to end in divorce within 30 years.

So, there’s no doubt that living ‘happily ever after’ requires hard work. And, as it turns out, there are some surprising things that can make it even harder.

According to relationship experts, there are certain ‘risk factors’ which can allude to a troublesome marriage.

By no means do these cause divorce or guarantee that the marriage is turning sour. But, they do increase a couple’s probability of going separate ways.

Many of these factors can’t be controlled. Nevertheless, you can always try to make some little tweaks in order to strengthen your relationship.

These could be anything from exercising together to learning to communicate better or adjusting your financial expectations.

Read on below to see if you and your partner fit into any of the divorce scenarios.

1. You’re A Child Of Divorced Parents

Seeing your parents go through a divorce can contribute to the probability of you experiencing divorce yourself. However, according to a new study in Psychological Science, this may actually have more to do with nature than nurture.

Researchers found that the patterns of marriage and divorce of adults who had been adopted as kids were more similar to those of their biological parents, not their adoptive ones.

2. You Have Different Drinking Habits Than Your Spouse

There are always couples who have all of the same friends and have fun together at the same bars and restaurants. But, what happens when one person is fond of drinking and partying, while the other isn’t?

In a 2014 University of Buffalo study, researchers discovered that 45 to 55 percent of couples where one person was a heavy drinker and the other wasn’t, divorced before their 10th anniversary.

On the other hand, when both partners indulged in drinking or neither did, only around 35 percent of couples split up.

3. You Got Married Waiting Too Long

As it turns out, those parents who told their children to wait for marriage and make sure he/she is the right one, were completely right.

Recent statistics indicate that those who get married in their teens or early 20s are at a much higher risk of divorce than those who get married in their late 20s and early 30s. Yet, you don’t want to wait too long, since waiting after age 32 may once again increase your divorce risk.

4. You’re Very Good Looking

This can explain most of the shocking celebrity divorces. It seems partners who score high on the scale of attractiveness, have a harder time staying together.

A recent paper published in the journal Personal Relationships showed that physical attractiveness was truly associated with a higher likelihood of getting divorced. Good-looking married people were also more vulnerable to temptation than average-looking married people.

5. You Paid Lots Of Money For Your Wedding

Did your wedding cost a fortune? Emory University researchers found that those who spent more than $20,000 on their wedding are at a higher risk of divorce than those whose weddings cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

In general, couples who spent around $1,000 for their weddings were least likely to split up.

6. You Didn’t Waste Time Getting Pregnant

Apparently, how quickly you have a child may affect your marriage. According to data from the CDC, women who waited at least 8 months after their holy matrimony were more likely to make it to at least 15 years of marriage.

On the contrary, women who had a baby before the wedding day or within the first seven months were at a high risk of divorce.

7. Your First Child Is A Daughter

There is another data which suggests that couples whose first baby is a girl have a higher rate of divorce than couples with a firstborn son.

A provocative 2014 study argues that those marriages who are already on the rocks might actually produce baby girls thanks to a concept known as the female survival advantage. Allegedly, girls are more likely than boys to be born into already strained marriages.

8. You Don’t Have A College Degree

Research shows that those who have only a high school diploma or GED are more likely to end their marriage than couples who have finished college or higher education.

Therefore, earning at least a bachelor’s degree is not only good for yourself, but for your marriage too.

9. You Grew Up Without A Religious Father

Yet another study states that women who grew up in religious households are more likely to stay beside their husbands than women without a religious upbringing.

Those who were not part of any religion had only a 43% success rate of their marriage lasting 20 years. If you think about it, this could be due to the fact that many religions teach people to fight for their marriage to succeed and consider divorce only as a final option.

10. You’ve Already Been Divorced Before

Just because you’ve got one or two marriages behind you, doesn’t mean that all your relationships from that point onward are doomed.

Nevertheless, because you know what it’s like to go through a divorce, you may be more willing to do it again. According to CDC data, about 40 % of second marriages end within 10 years.

POLICE IMMEDIATELY ARREST MOTHER AFTER SEEING THE PHOTOS SHE POSTED OF HER BABY (PHOTOS)

People all over the world were enraged when a woman identified as Ayra Dela Cruz Francisco reportedly posted photos of her baby on a leash eating what appears to be dog food.

Among those upset by the photos was Lurleen Hilliard, 46, an anti-child abuse campaigner from Dublin, Ireland.

Lurleen is the founder of Nolonger Victims, an international organization that educates others about abuse and helps protect the victims.

“I was trawling through Facebook on Monday when I came across the images she had posted on her page,” she told The Daily Mail.

“If we tolerate this level of abuse and parents think they can post these images online in order to boost their page or to make themselves look good then all we’re doing is saying that we support, and we’re enabling, child abuse.

“What made me more concerned was if this is what she’s happy to post on Facebook then what is she doing behind the scenes that nobody knows about?

This is what she’s willing to show us, what isn’t she willing to show us?”

Lurleen contacted authorities in the U.S., who in turn began investigating the matter. Dela Cruz Francisco has reportedly been taken into custody, but Lurleen is still worried about the outcome.

“Apparently, the father works for a government agency so whether they’re going to try and pull some strings to allow her off with a slap on the wrist, but I’m determined that that’s not going to happen,” she said.

“I’m going to keep on at it and keep pressure on them for her to be charged, because it’s not acceptable.”

Dinky Soliman, the Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, said it was a clear case of child abuse prior to Dela Cruz Francisco’s detainment.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms That Most People Ignore

Unfortunately, we often neglect the signs our bodies send to indicate some kind of internal imbalance, so nutrient deficiencies are often left untreated, and might be the main cause of our health issues.

One of the most important vitamins for our overall health is B12, as it plays a role in the red blood cell production, nerve health, and the bonding process of nucleic acids to proteins.

Thus, its insufficient amounts in the body often lead to severe adverse effects, like irreversible nerve damage.

Therefore, it is of high importance to know the most common symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency:

– Vision loss

– Shortness of breath and heart palpitations

– Weakness, fatigue, vertigo or lightheadedness

– Pale or yellowing skin tone

– Muscle weakness, a pins and needles sensation, numbness, and walking difficulties

– A smooth tongue

– Digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, appetite and taste loss, frequent gas

– Poor mental health such as memory loss, depression, mood swings

Additionally, the following are at the highest risk of vitamin B12 deficiency:

Vegans and vegetarians

This vitamin is found in animal proteins, so if you follow a plant-based diet, you might be at an increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, so consider optimizing its levels via supplementation.

Those age 50 or older

Over the year, the body loses its ability to absorb vitamins from food, so people older than 50 should take vitamin B12 supplements.

Perimenopausal, pregnant or lactating women

The symptoms of perimenopause are similar to the ones of a B12 deficiency, and the lack of this vitamin in the case of pregnancy has negative effects on the baby.

Also, lactating women, in particular, vegan breastfeeding mothers, need to optimize the levels of B12 as its deficiency might lead to negative effects on the baby, such as anemia, developmental delays and even failure to thrive.

Patients with disorders such as Graves’ disease or Lupus

The cells in the body in the case of autoimmune disorders attack the tissues of the body instead of foreign bodies, and this reduces the ability of the body to absorb essential vitamins.

People wits compromised absorptive ability of the digestive system

People who take acid-reducing medications, whose with a bacterial growth or parasites, heavy drinkers, the ones who take acid-reducing drugs, and patients with pernicious anemia, atrophic gastritis, a thinned stomach lining, Crohn’s disease, or Celiac disease are at a high risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Natural prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency 

This deficiency can be prevented by following a well-balanced diet rich in poultry, eggs, seafood, dairy, and meat. Vegans or vegetarians should focus on vitamin B12-fortified grains, and take natural B12 supplements.

This will boost the vitamin B12 levels in the body and prevent serious health issues and ailments.

THIS IS YOUR LUCKY NUMBER AND WHAT IT REVEALS ABOUT YOU

Your destiny is your life’s purpose and your destiny number in numerology tells you about your life path as well as both positive and negative traits of your personality.

WHAT DOES YOUR “DESTINY NUMBER” REVEAL ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY?

Researchers in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality found that people who knew their astrological signs were more likely to feel a connection to a description of the personality of their sign than they were to a description of a different sign.

The same connection that we feel to our zodiac sign may also be true for beliefs about our destiny number in numerology, especially when we encounter a crisis in our lives.

A study in the Journal of Social Psychology found that beliefs about chance or fate were positively related to action-taking. In other words, when people encountered a difficult time in their lives, they actively sought help from astrology or numerology to guide them on the right path.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY NUMBER

* Write the numbers 1 through 9 across the top of the page

* Write one letter under each number starting with A under the number 1

* Repeat through letter I under the number 9 then begin the second row with the letter J under the number one through letter R at the number 9

* Finish the third row of letters under numbers with the letter Z ending at 8.

Your number and alphabet grid should look like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z

For the letters of your first, middle and last names separately, find the number assigned to each letter and add them together to create one single-digit number.

For example:

For the name Nancy Ann Botwin, we would have the numbers as follows for Nancy

Nancy

5 + 1 + 5 + 3 + 7 = 21

21 is a 2 and a 1

2 + 1 = 3

Continue this for each name, first, middle and last. Add all digits until you arrive at a single number between one and 9.

Ann

1 + 5 + 5 = 11

1 + 1 = 2

Botwin

2 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 5 = 29

2 + 9 = 11

1 + 1 = 2

So we have 3 + 2 + 2 in the example of Nancy (3) Ann (2) Botwin (2), which when we add them, gives us the destiny number 7.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR DESTINY NUMBER?

Soulnumerology.com says of the destiny number ‘This number describes your inherent traits and often natural talents that you come here with.

It speaks a great deal to your potential and what you can likely accomplish. It is often referred to as a “destiny” number for this reason, because it speaks of qualities inherent within you that you can work to develop.’

DESTINY NUMBER 1

Prefers to lead, independent, creative, knowledgeable, determination, enthusiasm, motivated, friendly, extroverted, talkative.

A destiny number 1 can tend to be selfish and has difficulty listening to others.

DESTINY NUMBER 2

Giving, often works in consulting or counseling, excellent negotiator, fair, social, prefers teamwork, passionate, energetic, curious and spiritual.

A destiny number 2 can tend to be too hard on themselves because they expect so much. Ask someone you trust for a reality check.

DESTINY NUMBER 3

Extroverted, free-spirited, excellent verbal communication, entertaining, optimistic, sensitive, and innovative.

A destiny number 3 can be bad with finances and tends to withdraw when emotionally hurt.

DESTINY NUMBER 4

Dependable, orderly, efficient, organized, socially responsible, a few close friends, practical, common sense, strong-willed, and often works as an entrepreneur or manager.

Destiny number 4 can be narrow-minded and bluntly honest when speaking their minds. Keep your mind open to achieve your full potential for success.

DESTINY NUMBER 5

Adventurous, multi-talented, independent, courageous, motivated, extroverted, loves challenging work, may seek work in sales, legal, political or judicial fields.

Destiny number 5 can get restless if bored and dislikes being romantically tied down.

DESTINY NUMBER 6

Loyal, caring, strong, enjoys responsibility, generous, conservative, takes on the jobs that others discard, has lots of close friends, enjoys domestic life, and work is usually in service to others.

A destiny number 6 can tend to be easily overwhelmed and is often critical of themselves and others.

DESTINY NUMBER 7

Thoughtful, quick-witted, sincere, charming, slow to trust, prefers intellectual work, spiritually connected, somewhat introverted, good instinct, and decisive.

A destiny number 7 can be very argumentative and negative, especially if their minds are not active.

DESTINY NUMBER 8

Direct, goal-oriented, focused, hard-working, born leader, dedicated, financially secure, organized, reliable, and honest.

A destiny number 8 can come across as bossy and emotionally distant. Be open to emotional support that you get from others to be more well-rounded.

DESTINY NUMBER 9

Compassionate, generous, sensitive emotionally, social, creative, drawn toward helping others, enjoys communicating and philosophy.

The challenges for destiny number 9 come when faced with competition or business; work that is focused on profits, not people.

If You’ve Ever Woken Up At Night Unable To Move, Here’s Why It Happens

If you have ever woken up unable to move any body part, you have experienced sleep paralysis, which is a completely conscious condition, which occurs when you pass between stages of wakefulness and sleep, or the “hypnagogic” and “hypnopompic” stage.

The first stage occurs before falling asleep, and the other happens as soon as you wake from the REM phase.

It is strange and extremely frightening, and might even cause a panic attack, as you cannot control your own body.

However, you should know that it is a common phenomenon, and cannot cause any physical damage to the body.

When we fall asleep, our body relaxes and the mind becomes less aware, while in the hypnagogic sleep paralysis, the mind remains aware, but the body is in an involuntary relaxation state, and we cannot move.

During REM sleep, on the other hand, the muscles are paralyzed, but the brain wakes when the person experiences hypnopompic sleep paralysis.

Some people never experience this, but there are also others which suffer from sleep paralysis episodes often. Researchers at Penn State University have found that around 8 percent of the population frequently experiences sleep paralysis.

Sleep paralysis is also common in people suffering from some sleep issues, like sleep apnea, in the case of mental disorders, like depression and anxiety, or due to the use of some medications.

According to WebMD, these are the risk factors:

– Lack of sleep

– Substance abuse

– Sleep issues such as nighttime leg cramps or narcolepsy

– Mental conditions, like bipolar disorder or stress

– Frequent changes in sleep schedule

– Sleeping on the back

– Certain medications, such as the ones used for ADHD

Sleep paralysis is characterized by an inability to speak or move for several seconds or minutes, and it is not treated with medications.

Yet, when doctors diagnose some other underlying condition that causes it, they prescribe some of the following treatments:

– Treatment of any underlying sleep disorders

– Referral to a sleep specialist

– Implementation of a sleeping schedule

– Prescription for sleeping aids

– Referral to a mental health professional

– Prescription for an anti-depressant

You can prevent this disorder by managing stress and improving your sleep.

Yet, note that if you rarely experience sleep paralysis, you should not seek professional help, but try to improve your sleeping habits instead.

Additionally, limit the intake of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and avoid using electronic devices at bedtime. Moreover, remember that you need to remain calm if you experience a sleep paralysis, as it is nothing serious or terrifying, and it will be over very soon.

8 Signs Your Partner Is With You Because Of Love (Not Just Sex)

Relationships. You never know for sure if it’s going the right way, but you know that you want it to work out. Unfortunately, many guys and girls end up in relationships that involve unrequited love, abuse, disrespect, and just toxic behavior that leads nowhere.

It’s true – there will always be people who will want to be with you for a personal gain – sex, money, having a babysitter, or just using you for the status called ‘relationship.’ These relationships take the best of us.

In such relationships, you will find yourself struggling and you will continue with the struggle even when you get out. You simply find people hard to believe after spending time with someone who didn’t love you at all and simply used you.

However, not everyone is like this. There are people who still believe in being with someone because of love, and you are sure that someone is truly in love when you see how dedicated they are to the relationship.

So, how can you know if someone is in for the love, and not just for sex?

1. They are genuinely interested in your life and well-being

A person who is with you just for the sex won’t care too much about your life and your well-being. They might show concern if you have gained a few pounds (and might even ghost you for this), but they will never try to learn what led you to that state.

If someone is truly in love with you, they will be interested in everything about you; they will truly care about what is happening to you, how your day was, and they will never spend a day without asking if everything is alright with you.

Even if they are not so much on the ‘wordy’ side, they will show this genuine care and interest in every possible way they know and can.

2. They tend to you when you are sick

Your only-interested-in-sex lover will be disgusted by your pale face and stuffed nose if you get sick. In fact, they will wish you to get better and they might be frustrated that you can’t pay attention to them because of your situation.

However, a person who is with you for the love will try to cancel every arrangement they had and tend to you. They will run with the tissues after you and they will fetch medications from the pharmacy at any time. They simply care about you and they will do everything to make you feel better.

3. You are on top of their priorities

Not only when you’re not feeling well – a person in love will always have you on top of their priorities. Since when are the friends more important than you?

You may both like to have some nights out with friends, but that person will never put others in your place.

If you are with someone who’s in just for the sex, they will be done with you the moment you’ve had your ‘fun time’ and they’ll run after their priorities.

This is not the case with a person in love – in fact, they don’t prioritize sex the way they prioritize you and your place in their life.

4. They will always make time for you

We are all very busy – being busy is what makes us push forward, really. But a person in love will never be too busy when it comes to you. They would even ‘sacrifice’ that little time they have left because they don’t see it as a sacrifice.

Someone who’s just in for the sex won’t have time for you if they’re not in the mood for some ‘play.’ You know that someone loves you when they make time to listen to your silly complaints about trivial things when they make time to come and see you, or at least write a text message.

5. They like talking to you and they show interest

There are so many things that make us who we are – so many trivial things we want to talk about; so many boring situations that seemed stressful for us.

The person who is in just for the sex won’t bother to listen to these things, and they will definitely not talk about such things.

The person in love, on the other hand, will always listen attentively and may even want to try to help you fix some problems (at least in your head).

They enjoy talking to you about stuff, they are interested in what you want to say, and they will always show this.

6. They aren’t afraid to show commitment

Of course, if they are in love, they will never be afraid to talk about commitment and work toward achieving it. If someone is with you for the sex, they will be definitely afraid to think of commitment – they didn’t sign up for that, did they?

A person in love will be proud of the idea that they are committed to you and they won’t be afraid to eliminate all reserves that could replace you.

7. They want to be liked by your friends and family

And they will do everything to show them that they are worthy of being with you. As we all know, the loudest judges about your partners are your closest friends and family because they care about you.

If someone is with you for the sex, they won’t bother to even show up in front of your company, and if they do, they won’t try to communicate too much with them and won’t really care about their opinion about the relationship.

A person in love, though, will be on their best behavior and will show your closest that they are worthy of being around you and that they will never make you feel used or abandoned (at least not on purpose).

8. They are ready to do things they wouldn’t normally do

If you see your partner trying to dance with you with their clumsy feet because you love dancing, or they sing karaoke with you even if they are terrible at it – it’s because they are doing something they wouldn’t normally do.

That is definitely a sacrifice that not many would do, especially not someone who is in just for the sex. If you see your partner doing things that don’t go with their character, and they are doing them for you – it’s because they love you.

If you are with a person like this, keep them close to you and don’t let them go. You may have quarrels, misunderstandings, and tough periods, but you will be able to overcome those challenges because of the love you have for one another.

Stay away from toxic people and respect every breath made out of love. People who aren’t afraid to love will always find someone who will respect their love and love them back.

Do You Constantly Have Anxiety, Headaches or Migraines That Cannot Be Explained? It May Be These Light Bulbs!

If you are one of the many who have replaced the old-fashioned standard light bulbs with the new, environmentally-friendly, energy saving light bulbs, we must inform you that you have made a huge mistake, unfortunately.

Apparently, these energy saving light bulbs are extremely toxic and pose serious health risks, so the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency has laid out an emergency protocol to teach us how to act in the case of a bulb breakage, and prevent the harmful effects of the release of the poison gas.

The findings of a study conducted at the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute for German’s Federal Environment Agency showed that when they have been broken indoors, the energy-saving light bulbs release 20 times the maximum acceptable mercury concentration into the air.

These light bulbs can cause:

– Anxiety

– Fatigue

– Dizziness

– Migraines

– Cluster headaches

– Seizures

– Inability to concentrate

These light bulbs cause severe health dangers, and these are the three most important things you need to know about them:

1. Energy– saving light bulbs contain mercury, which is a potent neurotoxin that has disastrous effects on pregnant women and children. It is especially toxic to the kidneys, liver, brain, and the nervous system, and damages the immune, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems. The exposure to mercury causes headaches, memory loss, tremors, anxiety, insomnia, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

2. Energy Saving Bulbs Emit a Lot of UV Rays

These lamps release UV-B and traces of UV-C radiation, which damages the eyes and leads to skin cancer. Moreover, this radiation directly attacks the immune system, and damages the skin tissues and thus impedes the proper formation of vitamin D-3.

3. Energy Saving Light Bulbs are Cancer-Linked

Peter Braun at Berlin Germany’s Alab Laboratory conducted a study which revealed that these light bulbs contain 3 known carcinogens, as follows:

– Naphthalene – This is a volatile white crystalline compound, a product of the distillation of coal tar, and is used in mothballs and as a raw material for chemical manufacture.

– Phenol – This mildly acidic toxic white crystalline solid, is also a product from coal tar and is commonly used in chemical manufacture.

– Styrene – This is an unsaturated liquid hydrocarbon, which is obtained as a petroleum byproduct.

Therefore, these are some good reasons to go back to regular incandescent bulbs, aren’t they?

You will undoubtedly prevent dangerous accidents thus, but you should be really careful while doing so, as any breakage will pose extremely serious health risks.

Due to this, the Environmental Protection Agency has created a very detailed protocol which serves to help one deal with the mercury and cancer-linked chemicals in these light bulbs.

In the event of a bulb breakage, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides the following emergency procedure guidelines:

Before Cleanup

Your children and pets should leave the room, and you should open a window or a door to air out the room for about 10minutes. You should also shut off the central forced-air heating/air-conditioning system.

You will need the following materials:

– Stiff paper or cardboard

– Damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes

– Sticky tape

– A glass jar with a metal lid or a sealable plastic bag.

During Cleanup

You should collect the broken glass and powder, but do not vacuum, as it might spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor. With the stiff paper or cardboard, scoop up the glass fragments and powder, and pick up the smallest remains with the sticky tape.

Then, place it in the glass jar or plastic bag. The cleanup materials should be stored in a sealable container.

After Cleanup

You should air out the room for several hours afterward, with the heating or air conditioning turned off.

Note that you mustn’t leave any bulb pieces or cleanup materials at home. Instead, put all bulb debris and cleanup materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area.

Some localities require citizens to bring the fluorescent bulbs to a local recycling center. If yours does not, dispose of them with the household trash.
