The cannabis-derived compound cannabidiol (CBD) is gaining traction as a treatment for a broad range of conditions, but it’s notoriously hard for the body to use. Now a breakthrough production method has removed a major roadblock to its bioavailability.CBD, the non-psychoactive component of marijuana and hemp plants, has been shown to have myriad beneficial health effects including reducing inflammation, taking the edge off pain, increasing blood flow to the parts of our brains associated with memory, and even exhibiting antipsychotic effects.Two of the compound’s most promising effects are its ability to reduce seizures, especially in those with treatment-resistant epilepsy, and…

During his first term, President Donald J. Trump unveiled a bold initiative to end the H.I.V. epidemic in the United States by 2030 by focusing on 57 jurisdictions with the most urgent needs.The plan, which Mr. Trump announced in 2019 at a State of the Union address, surprised advocacy groups. But it was widely lauded, and successful.By 2022, the plan had driven down new infections nationwide by 30 percent in adolescents and young adults, and by roughly 10 percent in most other groups.This time around, the Trump administration’s stance on H.I.V. appears to be much the opposite.The Department of Health…

Quite similar to the ePropulsion eLite but bigger and more powerful, the RemigoOne is a hassle-free portable electric outboard built for fast, easy transport to and from the water. The push-button e-drive recently made the trip over to the US market, where it gives Americans an option for a clean, quiet, readily luggable all-in-one electric propulsion solution for RIBS, tenders, dinghies and small boats up to 25 feet (7.6 m) long. Based in Slovenia, Remigo launched the RemigoOne in 2021, quickly racking up a slew of honors including a DAME Design Award Special Mention and Design Europa Award from The…

In the last few years, foodborne pathogens have had devastating consequences that alarmed the public. Bacteria in infant formula sickened babies. Deli meat ridden with listeria killed 10 people and led to 60 hospitalizations in 19 states. Lead-laden applesauce pouches poisoned young children.In each outbreak, state and federal officials connected the dots from each sick person to a tainted product and ensured the recalled food was pulled off the shelves.Some of those employees and their specific roles in ending outbreaks are now threatened by Trump administration measures to increase government efficiency, which come on top of cuts already being made…

If you have the persistent tone in your ears known as tinnitus, you’ll want to pay attention to a new study that shows a link between certain foods and a reduction in risk. The finding offers a potentially easy way to get some peace and quiet.According to the National Institutes of Health, about 14% of adults have experienced tinnitus at one point in their lives with 10% of them experiencing chronic tinnitus lasting more than three months. The condition’s hallmark is a sound in one or both of your ears that’s not present in the world around you. That sound…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, has an unorthodox idea for tackling the bird flu bedeviling U.S. poultry farms. Let the virus rip.Instead of culling birds when the infection is discovered, farmers “should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it,” Mr. Kennedy said recently on Fox News.He has repeated the idea in other interviews on the channel.Mr. Kennedy does not have jurisdiction over farms. But Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary, also has voiced support for the notion.“There…

Back in 2021, at the height of the pandemic, scientists at Pfizer revealed the development of a novel antiviral molecule, designed to hinder the SARS-CoV-2 virus’s ability to replicate. Clinical trials moved quickly, and by the end of the year we had the very first oral COVID antiviral, called nirmatrelvir.The pace of the drug’s development was astonishing. Despite using the backbone of a molecule previously produced in the early 2000s to combat the first SARS epidemic, scientists deployed every bit of cutting-edge technology available to create a bespoke drug that could target this newly emerged coronavirus.The result was a medicine…

Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love adding fresh raspberries to salads and eating them plain for a nighttime treat. We often buy fresh raspberries in bulk from a local organic farmer when they’re in season and freeze them to use for the rest of the year. Frozen raspberries are an enjoyable snack on their own, but we mainly use them in popsicles and in this homemade raspberry vinaigrette. Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Nothing beats the fresh natural flavor of red raspberries, with a little tart vinegar, and a hint of sweetness from raw honey. It’s certainly…

Tiny house firms are always trying to think up new ways of maximizing every inch of available space. Modern Tiny Living has hit upon a neat approach to this with its Shadow model, which features a living room that seats six, has lots of storage, and also doubles as a guest bed.The Shadow is based on a double-axle trailer and, at 24 ft (7.32 m), is definitely on the smaller side for a North American tiny house – indeed, it’s not all that much larger than compact European models like the Hytta. It’s influenced by farmhouse style architecture, is finished…
