Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr IFA but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr IFA, , then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after one weeks of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again.. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony.... I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative., ,,so i guess it time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV,Hepatitis B,, Diabetes, ex back,Cancer, Syphilis reach him through Email [e-mail] OR add on whatsapp [phone] DOCTOR WEBSITE;drifahomecentre.jimdosite.com

AY IM SO GRATEFUL FOR DISCOVERING THE GLOW OF THE OCTOPUSES

[@qwertyuiopgarth]

I suspect that studying octopus aging will tell us more about 'how to not live a long time' than it tells us about how to live a long time. But, the more we learn about how to not live a long time the better our understanding of how we age is going to be....and the more we understand how we age the more that we will be able to 'do the best that we can'. And accepting a limitation comes easier if you know that you really did do your best.

[@elliephants7047]

I used to like eating octopus, but then I heard about the octopus mom thing, and a few other tidbits of their badassery, and decided that the only way I'd feel alright eating one is if I bested it in hand-to-hand combat and wrested it from the sea myself. So far I haven't been drowned by an octopus, but we'll see. We. Will. See.

Genetic memory is a difficult to understand but surprisingly common thing. It's good for a species' survival. Humans have it too.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Yes, strictly speaking. Many animals have thoughts and abilities that are predetermined by genetics. It's where instincts and in-born reflexes come from. But it's not going to let you remember when your ancestor hid a glowing golden orb.

[@nemonomen3340]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio Yeah. But so far as I know, _no_ animals retain conscious memories from ancestors. That's not what people mean when they say genetic memory.
