protobiont

the ancestor of prokaryotic cells. it was basically a bunch of organic molecules surrounded by a membrane. they exhibit some properties associated with living organisms, such as reproduction, metabolism, and what may be a precursor to homeostasis. they may have formed spontaneously in the conditions found on earth around 3.8 billion years ago or perhaps even farther back.

*in Biology class*

"OH MY GOD. Dude. I just found an organism that is way too small to be considered a bacteria, but it seems to reproduce and metabolize itself."
"Yeah, you have a nanobacterium on your hands."
"WTH is a nanobacterium?"
"Oh, nothing, just an organism that some scientists don't consider an organism. It's totally real, though, because it's a modern protobiont."
"WTH is a protobiont?"
"HOW are you in biology?? Just look it up on Urban Dictionary."

Prototherapy

Ultrasound Prototherapy is a harmless, non-surgical treatment for chronic pain using targeted infiltrations to stimulate healing. Webster's dictionary defines Prototherapy as "the rehabilitation of an incompetent structure, such as ligaments or tendons."

Pain from auto accidents, athletic injuries, and overuse often arises from injuries to the soft tissues in the body. These soft tissues, including ligaments, muscles, tendons and joint capsules, are called "connective tissues" because they connect to bones, thereby supporting the bony skeleton. Ultrasound Prototherapy causes these connections to be repaired, rebuilt and strengthened. Ultrasound Prototherapy has also been called ligament reconstructive therapy or stimulated ligament repair.

How is Prototherapy Performed
Prototherapy is an infilrations or series of infiltrations (often containing a sugar solution, which is an irritant) into the affected ligament or tendon where it binds itself to bone to cause irritation and trigger local inflammation, that is believed to promote repair and the growth of new healthy, dense, fibrous tissue.

While prototherapy most commonly used for chronic low back pain, prototherapy is also used to treat shoulder pain, knee pain, and hip pain, etc.where it is believed that lax ligaments or tendons may be causing or contributing to the pain. Back conditions treated with prototherapy include spinal osteoarthritis, sciatica, herniated discs, whiplash, and fibromyalgia.

Only at Stevens Creek Family Chiropractic, Dr. Le has the technology and skills to perform Prototherapy.

Protein Slinger

Nickname for has-been or never-will-be female models who grow a large social media audience by posting frequent bikini, side-boob, and fitness pictures. Because they can't land legitimate modeling or acting gigs, they are relegated to promoting protein shakes and supplements on Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.

Protein slingers can be male, but they are very rare.

Ed: "Hey, have you ever hear of this @NatalieBurk89 chick on Instagram?"

Amit: "Nah, man ... I can't tell these protein slingers apart any more"

Ed: "True"
