2 months ago | hawaiireporter.com | Sydney Ross Singer

Every day throughout the world, scientists are scurrying around their labs, studying mice. They don’t just study mice, like you would study a book, or observe a brook. They devour the mice, chewing them up into organs, tissues, cells, and molecules, as they hunger for ways to better detect and treat human disease. Each stab in the mouse is a stab in the dark, but it gets grants and patents and awards. It feeds the greedy drug companies whose shareholders want new breakthroughs and new revenue.

In a way, it’s a social disease, since it can cause insomnia in those around you. This makes the snorer as welcome in bed as someone who ate beans for dinner. Why do people snore? Is there possibly a benefit to snoring for the snorer? I believe there is. And I’m not just saying that because I snore. It has to do with the thyroid gland.
