🦠 Scientists asked participants to rate pictures of people for attractiveness and found something interesting: people infected with "mind-altering" toxoplasmosis are more attractive! So, what's going on? Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii change facial symmetry by changing endocrine levels, or do attractive people just have a higher chance of contracting the parasite?

Addiction can be treated only by relieving craving, not by making addiction more expensive. Raising the price of one's fix destroys the individual and societal goals.
Treatment of addiction by increasing in an appropriate fashion the brain levels of two neuro-transmitters,dopamine and serotonin, is available now in what is called the PURSOR protocol. Unfortunately, while it is cheap, not toxic and employs only natural substances, levodopa and 5-HTP, it makes not a penny for PHARMA or the experts. Since the same protocol also remits depression and anxiety, it must be vigorously stopped. I should know, they effectively stopped me ten years ago.
