En 1519, un volcán de más de 5.000 metros escupía fuego y ceniza en Nueva España. Los aztecas lo creían sagrado y nadie osaba acercarse, pero un español decidió subir, asomarse al cráter y meter la mano dentro. Su locura cambió América para siempre. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Ese hombre se llamaba Diego de Ordaz y había nacido en 1480 en Castroverde de Campos, un pueblo de Zamora tan llano que apenas tenía colinas. Curiosamente, ese chico de tierra plana acabaría siendo el primer europeo en coronar un volcán activo del Nuevo Mundo.

Ordaz era un soldado curtido. Antes de Nueva España había peleado en Cartagena de Indias y servido al gobernador de Cuba. Era valiente hasta rozar la temeridad. De hecho, al inicio de la expedición estuvo encadenado en la bodega de un barco por las sospechas del propio Cortés.

The fat you can't pinch is the fat that's killing you.

Visceral fat sits deep around your organs and floods your body with inflammation.

Here are 7 science-backed hacks to burn visceral fat naturally:🧵

1. Build muscle

Muscle pulls glucose out of your blood, lowering the insulin that drives visceral fat storage.

More muscle means a leaner waist and a metabolism working for you 24/7.

2. Sprint training.

Endless steady cardio raises oxidative stress and burns muscle.

Short, intense bursts (sprints) mimic your ancestral fight-or-flight response, reducing visceral fat much faster:

🧶Irydologia to metoda, która ma pozwalać na rozpoznawanie chorób całego organizmu na podstawie wyglądu tęczówki oka. Wymyślił ją w XIX wieku węgierski lekarz Ignaz von Péczely. Jako chłopiec znalazł puchacza ze złamaną łapą, zauważył ciemną plamkę w jego tęczówce, a po

wyleczeniu ptaka plamka miała zniknąć. Z jednej obserwacji na jednym puchaczu wywiódł wniosek, że tęczówka jest mapą całego ciała. Dziś istnieją co najmniej dwie konkurencyjne szkoły — amerykańska i europejska. Ich mapy tęczówki różnią się tak, że ta sama plamka u jednego

irydologa oznacza chorobę wątroby, a u drugiego — nerki. To pierwsza rzecz, która powinna dawać do myślenia.
Rzecz druga to anatomia. Tęczówka nie ma żadnego połączenia nerwowego z wątrobą, jelitem, tarczycą ani nerkami. Unerwiają ją tylko nerwy odpowiedzialne za pracę jej

Los TRIPTANES existen desde los años 90 y revolucionaron el tratamiento de la migraña y la cefalea en racimo, desplazando a los medicamentos de ergotamina. El primero en llegar fue el sumatriptán, aprobado por la FDA en 1993. Se convirtieron en un éxito inmediato.

Durante décadas se sabía que la serotonina estaba relacionada con la migraña, pero no se entendía bien el mecanismo. Los triptanos llenaron ese vacío.
Ejemplos:
• Sumatriptán
• Eletriptán
• Zolmitriptán
• Almotriptán
• Rizatriptán

Los triptanos solo se usan para migraña y cefalea en racimo.
No sirven para cefaleas tensionales ni otros dolores de cabeza.
Además, no son preventivos. Son abortivos: acortan y terminan el ataque que ya está ocurriendo.

The sins you commit in private can block the good in your life and gradually change your condition for the worse. They can become a cause of:

• Delaying your salah
• Wasting your time
• Losing barakah in your life
• Becoming distant from Allah

1. Sayyid al-Istighfār (The Best Supplication for Seeking Forgiveness)

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَىٰ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allahumma anta Rabbī, lā ilāha illā anta, khalaqtanī wa anā ʿabduka, wa anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika mastaṭaʿtu, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿtu, abū’u laka biniʿmatika ʿalayya, wa abū’u bidhanbī, faghfir lī fa innahu lā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba illā anta.

O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god except You. You created me, and I am Your servant. I uphold Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favors upon me, and I acknowledge my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.

2. The Du’a the Prophet ﷺ taught Abu Bakr

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Allahumma innī ẓalamtu nafsī ẓulman kathīrā, wa lā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba illā anta, faghfir lī maghfiratan min ʿindika, warḥamnī, innaka anta al-Ghafūru ar-Raḥīm.

O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself, and none forgives sins except You. So forgive me with a forgiveness from Yourself and have mercy upon me. Indeed, You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Prodigal 🧵

There is nothing more grievous to a parent or grandparent than to watch their children suffer due to their own sinful choices.

Years spent nurturing and teaching them the Word of God are abandoned for the temporary pleasures of sin.

The father in the story in Luke knew such grief. His son went to a far country and wasted everything he’d been given. Seeking pleasure — he eventually ended up wishing to have some of the food that he was given to feed the pigs. Even that was denied him.

Here is the heartbreaking story Jesus told:

“And He said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living…

How to make your Rahu positive and survive Rahu Mahadasha ?

How to turn lord Rahu into your biggest asset ?

A thread on remedies, behavior, and what the scriptures actually say - 1/N 🧵

Rahu does not destroy people. Many times, people suffer because they do not understand what Rahu is trying to teach them. Over the years, while studying Rahu placements, Rahu Mahadasha, and the classical texts, I have noticed some common patterns. I have also seen many of these in my consultations. This thread is a simple summary of those observations.

Before anything else, it is important to understand what Rahu really is. Not just the definition we read in books, but how it actually works in life.

Rahu represents desire, obsession, illusion, and strong ambition. Wherever Rahu is placed, it increases the desire for that area of life. It pushes things beyond their normal limit.

I often explain Rahu with the example of fire. Fire is not good or bad by itself. If you use it properly, it cooks your food, gives you warmth, and lights your home. But if it goes out of control, it can burn everything around it, including the person who started it.

Rahu works in the same way. The real question is never whether Rahu is good or bad. The real question is whether you are using Rahu wisely, or whether your own desires are starting to control you. That is where the biggest difference is.

Firstly i'll share behavioural Remedies with you -

The first place to understand Rahu is your behavior. This is where everything starts, and in my consultations, I have seen that many people ignore this part completely.

Rahu grows stronger when we are not honest. I am not talking only about lying to other people. I am also talking about lying to ourselves. Living one life in public and another in private, hiding real intentions, or pretending to be someone we are not.

I have seen it in many charts that Rahu can give quick success through such actions. A person may get money, status, or recognition. But if the foundation is not honest, Rahu eventually brings the truth out. What rises very fast can also fall very publicly.

The simple lesson is to keep your intentions clean. When your actions are honest, Rahu has much less power to create problems.

Another pattern I have seen in both the classical texts and my consultations is how Rahu is connected with outsiders -

Rahu represents people who are different, foreigners, or those whom society often ignores.

Helping such people, feeding the needy, giving work to someone who has been rejected, or supporting people from a different background are all powerful ways to balance Rahu's energy.

Especially during Rahu Mahadasha, making this a regular habit can bring a big positive change. It is not just a remedy. It is a way of using Rahu's energy in the right direction.

How to fall in love with your life (𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧):

1. Make your world smaller.

We think a bigger life means a better life.

More friends, more plans = more excitement.

It doesn't.

The happiest people I know have a small circle, a simple routine, and zero interest in keeping up with anyone.

Small is peaceful. Period.

2. Fix your sleep before you fix anything else.

You can't enjoy life when you're running on 5 hours and 3 coffees.

Sleep is the foundation.

Everything else, your mood, your energy, your motivation, it all sits on top of it.

• pick a fixed bed time
• wake up at a fixed time

🚨Claim rejection stories-Low Vitamin B12🤯🤯

Policy Cover=5L
Claim Amount=1.06L

New India Assurance rejected the claim,
"Low Vitamin B12" was caused by a vegetarian diet, making the illness his own fault"!🤯🤯

Shocked by this,
The policyholder approached the consumer court,

What happened next is an absolute eye-opener for every policyholder 👇

Background:-

Meet Thakkar had a 5L policy from New India Assurance,

In October 2015, he was rushed to a private hospital after experiencing giddiness, nausea, and weakness on the left side of his body

Doctors diagnosed him with a transient ischaemic attack (TIA)—often called a warning stroke

After a week of treatment,

Meet was discharged with a bill of ₹1.06 lakh.

He had a robust ₹5 lakh policy with New India Assurance Co Ltd, so he filed a claim.

Instead of a payout, he received a CLAIM REJECTION notice.

The reason?

Post-exertional malaise is a delayed or prolonged worsening of symptoms after physical, cognitive or emotional exertion. Understanding its biology is critical to understanding ME/CFS.

What changes when blood is tested before and during PEM? 🧵

A resting blood sample gives one snapshot. Testing the same person before and after exertion lets researchers see which signals move as symptoms are triggered, rather than only comparing average patient and control groups.

Timing matters. PEM can build hours later and last for days. A marker may change immediately, 24 hours later or later in the crash, so studies need repeated samples at clinically relevant times.

Plenty of times, your depression doesn't start in your head, it starts in your mitochondria.

A lot of mental illnesses can be viewed as a "brain energy crisis".

To demonstrate this point, here's for example an ancient enzyme system that not only controls your mood but is also key when it comes to resolving some side effects of psychiatric medications.

Thread 🧵

It’s George.

If you are struggling with a mental health issue such as major depression, a form of bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD and so on, it won’t take you long to come across potentially helpful lifestyle interventions that, at their roots, try to target various aspects of metabolic dysfunction.

Theories linking impaired brain energy metabolism to psychiatric symptoms are gaining more and more attention by the day, not only because the body of bibliography grows, but mainly since more people report life-changing results from interventions such as ketogenic diets, carnivore diets, fasting, and other metabolic interventions, whether these are called peptides or OTC supplement regimes.

Looks like we may be underway shortly. Video conference live, empty room at the moment.

In fibromyalgia, severe irritable bowel symptoms were linked with fewer tiny nerve fibers in skin biopsies. The study connects gut symptoms with a measured change in nerves that also help control pain and automatic body functions.

The study included 89 people with fibromyalgia. Fifty-seven also had a skin biopsy, where a very small piece of skin is removed and examined under a microscope.

The biopsy measured the number of very thin nerve endings entering the skin's outer layer. This is called intraepidermal nerve-fiber density.

A memorable milestone in my professional journey!

I was honoured to meet Academician Chao-Geng Lin, a world-renowned expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture, during the HTAQMA International Forum 2026, held at UTAR, Sungai Long Campus, Malaysia.

Academician Chao-Geng Lin is internationally recognised for his outstanding contributions to acupuncture research, ranking 4th globally and 1st among Chinese scholars in acupuncture research output. Also been recognised by Stanford University among the World's Top 0.2% Scientists

I sincerely thank my respected teacher, Ted Wu, for making this valuable learning opportunity possible. Continuous learning from globally recognised experts helps us strengthen our knowledge and bring evidence-based acupuncture practices to benefit our patients.

Why is the government claiming to have evidence that 90,000 people a year suffer conversion therapy when almost no cases were ever reported to its national helpline?🧵

sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…

As covered by @Daniel_J_Martin for @Telegraph: “Sex Matters questioned the figures cited by ministers…. A report published last month by Galop, the charity that runs the helpline, suggested the number of calls it received about conversion therapy was far lower.”

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

When the helpline was commissioned, officials expected as many as 10,000–15,000 callers every year. Instead, the evidence presented in the report strongly suggests that only a handful of conversion-therapy reports were ever received.

2.5 weeks since we found little Espresso Martini poisoned and taking her last breaths.

The progress has been very slow but some fairly positive news… (1/6) 🧵

We are now confident her broken rib came from frantic locals trying to give her CPR when she was frothing at the mouth. (2/6)

For 10 days she had no power in her body. The poison has done serious damage.

At first she couldn’t lift her head (3/6)

Materini nikad nisu volili govorit otome kolko imaju no radže kolko drugi nemaju. Utomse ogledala njihova plemenitos. Ćaću su odmilja zvali Goljo i jasam hin jenom pitala kasam bila poslje škole što kat moi ćaća nikad nehoda go aoni suse smijali i deda se zagrsno rezancem isupe.

Petraeus: No western country is aggressively pursuing what needs to be pursued. A major German defense CEO belittled what the Ukrainians have done with drones.

Europeans will spend more on defense, but buy legacy platforms. Vested interests in buying what we've always bought. 1/

Petraeus: A senior army leader said they're giving 500 drones to a tank brigade. That is not revolutionary change.

Revolutionary change is you actually do away with part of the tank brigade and create entire unmanned forces that can do what we see in Ukraine so impressively. 2/

Petraeus: People asked during Iran if we could take Kharg Island. Of course — 82nd Airborne, Special Ops, Marines. But could we protect that force?

We don't have adequate deployable counter-drone capabilities. A single drone hits a single ship and everything freezes in place. 3X

Petraeus: Ukraine is about to isolate Crimea. Gasoline so short they won't sell it to civilians. Tourists who came for beaches are trying to get home any way they can

Kerch Bridge rail no longer works. Ferries knocked out. Land bridges destroyed. Pontoon bridges now targeted 1/

Petraeus: Ukraine took down Russia's air defenses steadily. Russia pulls them to Moscow, vulnerabilities open everywhere else. Moscow refinery hit three nights running, out at least six months.

They're going after fuel storage, refineries, gas lines from Siberia to the west. 2/

Petraeus: Real prospect now that Putin might need a cessation of hostilities himself. Oil sanctions reimposed, national welfare fund running out of money.

Crimea isolated, front lines cut off, economy crushed, all of this could force Putin to recognize he should end this war. 3X
