We don't just start a new year every 365 days ... we at times reminisce about the fondest times and at other times try to forgive and forget the most difficult moments. Either way, every January, the internet is flooded with articles suggesting healthy new year resolutions to commit to, most of which are abandoned by February. Why wait for the new year to start getting on the right track? Here are some attainable new year resolution suggestions for those who are just looking

As we continue to browse social media’s abundant #Cannabis posts, we find ourselves having a difficult time choosing which post to debunk next. There are just too many to choose from!

We have a system designed to receive cannabinol to help regulate our internal body.” First of all

As we browse Instagram using #Cannabis, it didn't take us much time to find this inaccurate social media post from Instagram. As we debunk this Instagram post, titled "The Confusion," we couldn't help but recognize the irony of the title. The following post found on Instagram claims the following... "Cannabis has 2 species." This statement couldn't be any more false. The genus Cannabis has in fact been separated via chemotaxonomy into 3 species. 1. Cannabis sativa L. 2. Cann

Here we are debunking yet another inaccurate Instagram post.

In the age of “fake news” and social media, anyone can design an eye catching post designed to intrigue you into clicking a link that either sells your data or guides you to buy something.

People tend to jump into new diets, exercise regiments, life changes, etc. in full force. Sometimes your bo

Rare disease patients don’t live the typical life of the general public. Going to the doctors over 3 times a week is not out of the ordinary. Having a larger medicine collection than makeup was never second-guessed. Going to sleep over going out is often an easy decision to make. We spend the majority of our lives waiting for the other shoe to drop. While we are hopeful for a cure, or even just a treatment that might ease the symptoms, we often find ourselves disappointed.

When you or your child receives a rare disease diagnosis, your entire world changes. Life as you know it is dismantled and your carefully-crafted dreams appear derailed. You encounter tumultuous emotions that turn your world upside down. For patients, their relationship with their bodies radically change. In fact, a dissociation takes place. The body they once accepted as their own, as a servant that should obey, function, give pleasure, is now a body that has betrayed them

Love is an incredible feeling that some dedicate their entire lives to seeking. Love is a mysterious, undeniable force that at times can be confused for infatuation. Sometimes love and infatuation go hand in hand. When life’s trials and tribulations expose true love because of its unconditional nature, there’s no doubt in one’s mind that you are in love.

Whether that feeling comes from the person with a condition or the parent who is raising a child struggling with a condition, the unrelenting stress of suspecting something is wrong, then looking for answers, only to learn that you belong to the World of Rare, is a journey you have to personally experience in order to understand. The World of Rare is not only poorly understood by the general public, but also by the
