It does not contain an antigen of whatever virus it is attempting to help the body build immunity to and instead is a gene therapy treatment. 2. It is still only has emergency use authorization status and thus enough safety trials have not yet been completed to be able to legally call it a vaccine. Check out this episode!

Untying the Confusion Around Tongue Ties Ashley Rainbolt, DDS You may have been hearing more about tongue ties lately.  There is a growing level of awareness of tongue ties, and new research is coming out about how important the function of the tongue is to optimal health.  What is a tongue tie? The cord of tissue under the tongue that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth is known as the lingual frenum. A tongue tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when the lingual frenum is too tight and interferes with normal mobility and function of the tongue.  The appearance of the lingual frenum alone is not enough to diagnose a tongue tie.  The process of diagnosing a tongue tie requires an in-depth history of symptoms as well as a physical functional examination.  The most obvious tongue ties are known as anterior tongue ties because the frenum attaches close to the tip of the tongue.  Posterior or submucosal tongue ties occur when the restrictive frenum attaches far...

Please do not confuse self-love with health. We should all love ourselves exactly as we are! We all face bullies in this life - externally and/or internally. In today’s filtered and photoshopped world, people are harsh and can shame others for not having the perfect body. They judge others for being over or underweight. What is even more detrimental to our mental health is that we shame ourselves for how we feel and look. Body shaming provides nothing of any value and is extremely unhealthy to both the person shaming and the person being shamed. We all have our stuff that we need to cope with.
