HOW FAR "OYIBOS" GO TO GET THEIR SKINS TANNED.

 Aaliyah Johnson had skin problems after using illegal injection melanotan.

 

Rash and bruises after tanning drugs

If you are black or dark skinned, you have to be proud and appreciate God's beautiful creation in you. The melanin pigment gives blacks the dark beautiful colour which gives the skin more protection from ultraviolet rays (UV rays).

Do you know some whites / light skinned individuals are using drugs and injection such as Melanotan, Melanotan I & Melanotan II to get their skins tanned. In the course of doing this, so many have ran into troubled waters.

Melanotan is a synthetic hormone which is injected into the skin causing it to darken to produce a tan. It works by increasing levels of melanin - the natural dark pigmentation in the skin that darkens in the sun.

The producers of this injectable melanotan claim that apart from skin tanning, it also protects against skin cancer, against rosacea, enhances the libido and suppresses the appetite.

Melanotan is mostly sold on-line, in the gyms and beauty salons. But the FDA, MHRA and other Agencies have warned consumers not to be fooled into thinking that melanotan offers a shortcut to a safer or more even tan.

So all you dark skinned individuals should stop over bleaching to be like an "oyibo"  and should be "black & proud", because "oyibo wants to swop your skin".

NOTE: Do not use Melanotan. It is not approved by Medicines and Health Care Products Regulations Agency (MHRA). The side effect is still being tested by MHRA.

MAN GETS WORLD'S FIRST LIFE-SAVING FACE TRANSPLANT SURGERY.

A Polish man who was seriously injured by a machine in a work place accident was the beneficiary of the world's first life-saving face transplant surgery on Wednesday in a 27 hour operation.

The 33 year old, identified as Grzegorz got a new face 3 weeks after a stone-cutting machine damaged his face so severely that it couldn't be reattached.

The ground breaking operation was carried out by a team of surgeons led by Dr. Adam Maciejewski of the Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology in Gliwice, Poland.

CAN YOU PAY YOUR CHILD OR SPOUSE TO LOSE WEIGHT?

 Chaz Bono (Before)

Cher & Chaz

Cher paid her 44 years old transgender son, Chaz Bono $1,000 for every pound he shed. She paid him a total of $60,000 for sheding 60lbs.

Chaz Bono, the former dancing with the stars finalist and the most public face of the transgendered community has been fighting his weight problem for long.

He once weighed a scale-busting 345 pounds which was a threat to his life. This got the mum really worried.
"Chaz balked at first, saying he didn't want a hand out", a source said. "But Cher told him, I love you and I want you to be healthy. This isn't a handout - it's an incentive to stay on track with your goal".

Hey! mums would you do this for your loved "obesed" child or spouse to stay healthy and alive? Think about it!

BREAST CANCER ALSO COMMON IN MEN

 

Richard Roundtree

Breast cancer is more common in men than most people think and for the same reasons that these genes affect women. Men with the BRCA1 (Breast Cancer Type 1) mutations also have higher possibilities of contracting pancreatic, testicular and early-onset prostate cancer. The BRCA2 gene is most strongly associated with breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers.

Richard Roundtree born in 1942, popular actor of "Shaft in Africa" developed a rare male breast cancer in 1993. The same year he had a double mastectomy and was treated with rounds of chemotherapy.

CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE HAD DOUBLE MASTECTOMY

 

Angelina Jolie

3 days ago Angelina Jolie announced to the world she has just had a double mastectomy after finding out she had a mutation in the BRCA1 (breast cancer type 1) gene, giving her a very high life time risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

The mutation Jolie carries, a deletion on the BRCA1 gene,combined with a strong family history of cancer, correlate with an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. Either cancer is likely to be very aggressive and lethal sooner rather than later. Breast cancer is, on average likely to strike earlier than ovarian.

Other celebrities who have had double mastectomy are:

1. Sharon Osbourne - TV Personality

2. Christina Applegate - Actress; 2008

3. Shirley Temple Black - Actress; 1972

4. Hoda Kotb - "Today" Show host; 2007

5. Giuliana Rancic - E! News Presenter; 2011

6. Nancy Regan - Former 1st Lady; 1987

7. Kathy Bates - Actress; 2012

8. Wanda Sykes - Comedienne; 2011

It wasn’t until 1990 that DNA linkage studies identified the first gene connected to breast cancer. Scientists called the gene “breast cancer 1” or BRCA1 (pronounced brak-uh), according to Stanford University’s School of Medicine. Four years later, scientists uncovered a second, similar gene and named it BRCA2.

The genes are considered “tumor suppressors” that, when perfect, produce a protein that controls cell growth and death. We all have two of each gene, and a mutation in one of them is linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

The test is very expensive and costs as much as $4,000.

NIGERIA RATED 217 IN WORLD's LIFE EXPECTANCY RANKING!

 



Nigeria's life expectancy is ranked 217  at 52.46yrs out of 228 countries in the world. At the bottom is Chad at 49.07yrs, while South Africa is ranked 227 at 49.48yrs. Monaco tops the chart at 89.63yrs and USA is ranked 53rd at 78.62yrs.

The hustling in Nigeria is very stressful, we really have to take life easy, eat right, exercise more, and take good care of our health to prevent ill-health and early death.

With this report we have to value and take good care of our health. The saying that "prevention is better than cure" is a fact. "Prevention" cost little or nothing while "Cure" could cost a little, a fortune or even death.

Please, let's not allow our health to get to the state where it's irredeemable.
