Anxiety disorders tied to low levels of an essential nutrient in the brain

 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-anxiety-disorders-essential-nutrient-brain.html

The study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, analyzed data from 25 studies. The researchers compared the levels of neurometabolites—chemicals produced during brain metabolism—in 370 people with anxiety disorders to 342 people without anxiety.

They found the level of choline—an essential nutrient—was about 8% lower in those with anxiety disorders. The evidence for low choline was especially consistent in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps control thinking, emotions and behavior.

"This is the first meta-analysis to show a chemical pattern in the brain in anxiety disorders," said Jason Smucny, co-author and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. "It suggests nutritional approaches—like appropriate choline supplementation—may help restore brain chemistry and improve outcomes for patients."

Demons and Shabbos

 Sefer Chasidim (#1170) Why do spirits harm on Shabbat Eve? Because the  spirits are not in Gehenim. This is referring to the  spirits of the wicked, when they die, are the harmful demons, like all the descendants of Cain who died, their souls became harmful demons and they were given permission to harm those who violate the Sabbath.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/12/house-democrats-release-epstein-email-that-claimed-trump-spent-hours-with-victim

In the 2011 email, the disgraced financier wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims and that encounter “has never once been mentioned” by police.

Epstein alleges Trump ‘knew about the girls’ in emails released by House Democrats

 https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5601668-epstein-trump-emails-released

Emails released by Democrats show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein telling associates in the 2010s that “of course” President Trump knew about his relationships with underage girls.

In the short exchanges, Epstein says Trump “spent hours at my house,” while another says the president “knew about the girls.”

Trump sued The Wall Street Journal for defamation after the outlet published a story this year alleging Trump wrote a birthday note to Epstein in 2003 referencing their relationship.

Jeffrey Epstein: Trump ‘asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop’ recruiting girls from Mar-a-Lago spa

 https://nypost.com/2025/11/12/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-claimed-donald-trump-knew-about-the-girls-in-2019-email/

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein acknowledged in a bitter email months before his death that Donald Trump told Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to stop plucking young girls from the spa at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to groom and sexually abuse.

Nearly eight years earlier, on April 2, 2011, Epstein described Trump in an email to Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking conspiracy and other charges, as “that dog that hasn’t barked,” adding that an unnamed victim “spent hours at my house with him [and] he has never once been mentioned.”

A bipartisan petition to force a House vote on a measure compelling the Justice Department to release its Epstein files was expected to receive the required 218th signature later Wednesday, when Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is sworn in by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

Old Age is good?

 Zohar Chodesh Bereishis #861) If there is an old person in the house it is a good omen for the house Similarly if there is a tzadik in the generation it is a good omen for the world

Archin (19a) Ḥizkiya said that people say a popular saying: If there is an elderly man in the home, there is a burden  in the home, as he does not help with anything; if there is an elderly woman in the home, there is a treasure in the home,as she assists with various domestic labors.

Long-term use of melatonin supplements to support sleep may have negative health effects

 https://newsroom.heart.org/news/long-term-use-of-melatonin-supplements-to-support-sleep-may-have-negative-health-effects

A review of 5 years of health records for more than 130,000 adults with insomnia who had used melatonin for at least a year found they were more likely to be diagnosed with heart failure, require hospitalization for the condition or die from any cause.

The association between melatonin and increased risk of heart failure or death found in this study, which cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship, raises safety concerns about the use of melatonin, which is widely available, and may warrant more research on melatonin to assess its cardiovascular safety, researchers said.
