Cordelia asked:


I think many Americans are starving themselves because of their daily reliance on white flour for sustenance, whether rich or poor. Does white flour inhibit good digestion of other more protein rich foods? (Look at all the protruding bellies.) I’m looking at something that indicated that in a report as follows:

Protein-calorie malnutrition: Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Both kwashiorkor (edematous PCM) and marasmus (nonedematous PCM) are common in underdeveloped countries and in areas in which dietary amino acid
content is insufficient to satisfy growth requirements. Kwashiorkor typically occurs at about age 1, after infants are weaned from breast milk to a protein-deficient diet of starchy gruels or sugar water, but it can develop at any time during the formative years. Marasmus affects infants ages 6 to 18 months as a result of breast-feeding failure, or a debilitating condition such as chronic diarrhea.
In industrialized countries, PCM may occur secondary to chronic metabolic disease that decreases protein and calorie intake or absorption, or trauma that increases protein and calorie requirements. In the United States, PCM is estimated to occur to some extent in 50% of elderly people in nursing homes. Those who aren’t allowed anything by mouth for an extended period are at high risk of developing PCM. Conditions that increase protein-calorie requirements include severe burns and injuries, systemic infections, and cancer (accounts for the largest group of hospitalized patients with PCM). Conditions that cause defective utilization of nutrients include malabsorption syndrome, short-bowel syndrome, and Crohn’s disease.

beepbeep asked:


Ok a few days ago i had to due a “quick” shave “down there”. I didn’t have access to a brand new razor so i used my old one. IT wasn’t like it was in bad shape, but i think it was a little dull. I now have sores on my vagina. Some are just red bumps, others are pus filled. They hurt when i pee, touch, or all together. I have only had one partner, and we have been sexually together for over a year, and together for over 2. He has had 3 partners, but no know outbreaks or sypmtoms of any STD’s. The sores are extremly painful. Am i just experiencing a BAD case of razor burn/ingrown hairs, or could it be something more. If it is ingrown hairs or razor burn is there anything i can do to relieve the pain? I don’t want to go see a doctor if i am overreacting. I know that if they don’t get better in the next day or so i will make an appointment. Please help.Any info is good.

TeAmoBarça asked:


I am 14 and a half years old and I have chest and back acne. I started using Exfoliac long ago but in short terms ( 3 days in a row). Last week, I decided I would use it everyday like my doctor prescribed. It’s been fine until now, with some little tingling feelings. Today, after putting the Exfoliac on, the chest acne really started burning, and the skin became reddish. What can I do? Should I stop the treatment ? Help !
