Use This Vitamin To Repel Mosquitoes All Summer Long collective-evolution

Summer isn’t only about sun-kissed cheeks and deep talks by the fire. It’s also a great time to get re-acquainted with our longtime nemesis, the mosquito. It isn’t until we have a few itchy bites on our skin that we remember to take out the bug spray and citronella to protect ourselves from these mini vampires.

But if you’re anything like me and would rather go the natural route, then thiamine (also known as Vitamin B1) may be your new best friend, since DEET is a toxic chemical.

Thiamine

An essential vitamin that can be found in foods such as brown rice, asparagus, kale, and legumes, thiamine is also water soluble, as all B vitamins are, which means that the body expels it through urine rather than storing it — no need to worry about taking too much.

It’s also fantastic for the nervous system. Thiamine is sometimes called an “anti-stress” vitamin because it may strengthen the immune system and improve the body’s ability to withstand stressful conditions.

Individuals who have suffered from chronic alcoholism, Crohn’s disease, anorexia, and gastric bypass may benefit from thiamine supplementation as well, because these conditions lower the natural occurring thiamine in the body.

But one of the little-known qualities this fantastic vitamin has is the potential to change the way you smell to mosquitos, because people with adequate Vitamin B1 levels tend to smell “yeasty,” a smell mosquitos would rather not have a taste of.

If you’re heading up to a cottage this summer/fall it’s great to be proactive. Take 100 mg of thiamine every day and within two weeks, you’ll be sure to notice the lack of bugs nibbling at your skin.

If you’d like some extra help warding off these little guys, try this all-natural insect repellent!

Iceland Knows How To Stop Teen Substance Abuse But The Rest Of The World Isn’t Listening collective-evolution

I think it’s safe to say that most teenagers have tried and/or abused alcohol or illegal drugs, yet teen substance abuse rarely gets the attention it needs. Drugs and alcohol have a more detrimental effect on the underdeveloped brain, particularly since teens lack the ability to adequately assess risk, making them more likely to overindulge in substances. It’s this same lack that explains why people tend to be braver and more open to trying new experiences as teens than as adults. But this courage comes at a cost, as teens cannot adequately assess the risks of the substances they are taking. And schools aren’t doing nearly enough to educate them. I remember seeing presentations from a program called DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education, when I was in school. Although we were taught to avoid drugs, the focus was more on avoiding criminal behaviour than protecting our bodies. There wasn’t much focus on long-term effects of drug use. They always maintained that abstinence from drug u

The Inevitable Is Almost Here: What’s Going To Happen When The Whole World Finds Out? collective-evolution

Image
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been a topic of interest for decades, and with the recent release of thousands of previously classified government documents, we now know without question that government, military, and other defence agencies have had a high level of interest in this topic for a very long time. These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on both air and ground radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to intercept them. Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2 , written by Richard Dolan. For instance, here is an excellent example of a defence intelligence agency report detailing what commonly happens when a UFO is

Quantum Vacuum & Zero Point Energy Access: Is “Free Energy” For All Actually Possible? collective-evolution

Image
“Free energy” is a term being tossed around these days, and not one that many within the new energy movement like to use. That’s because it’s not really “free,” or what we perceive “free” to be. It’s not like the power source for generating the energy to run these machines (discussed below in this article) is coming from nowhere. It’s coming from the quantum vacuum, which would seem to be available for our use in unlimited quantities, given the fact that it’s the invisible “stuff” that makes up our known entire universe, in which could be a sea of universes and dimensions. There is enough to go around. Sure, solar, wind, and other clean energy initiatives are great, and the more the better, but the world has been completely blinded by the fact that there are many more advanced ways to generate clean energy that could revolutionize our world in several different paradigm changing ways. “Much to my surprise, these concepts have been proven in hundreds of laboratories around the world,
