RHESUS FACTOR INCOMPATIBILITY A LEADING CAUSE OF MISCARRIAGE!
(MUST READ)

Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+ are said to be rhesus Factor positive, while those who have the Rh “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB– are said to be rhesus factor negative . The “+” and “-” in front of the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–, O+ and O–. Rhesus factor is genetic in nature. It is inherited from the parents, emphatically the father.

How does Rhesus Factor cause miscarriage?

If a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh–, there wouldn’t be any problem. However, if a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh+, there would be a problem if the baby inherits Rh+ from the father . We have here what is medically called Rhesus Factor Incompatibility. The baby would obviously be Rh+. During child birth, once the baby’s Rh+ comes in contact with the woman Rh- during delivery, the antibodies are immediately activated by the woman’s body’s immune system.

The activated antibodies would see the new Rh+ as foreign body or a threat and consequently they would be at alert to attack and get rid of the foreign body. Unfortunately as such, after this particular child birth, the woman would keep having miscarriages because the activated antibodies would see subsequent Rh+ pregnancies as foreign bodies and would keep fighting and taking them off.

Women with Rh activated antibodies are said to be Rh sensitized and once these antibodies are activated , they can never be deactivated until the woman dies. Rh induced antibodies are activated in a Rh- woman by child birth, abortion, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

If a Rh– woman commits an abortion for a Rh+ man and the antibodies are activated in her system, the woman might end up childless throughout her life except if she later marries another man with with the same Rh–. The possibility of a Rh– woman finding a Rh– man is slim as about 85% of human beings are Rh+. This is a warning to our young girls who commits abortions all in the name of boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

If you’re a woman with Rh– and your fiance is Rh+, and you haven’t committed abortion for him and you don’t want to leave him, then, you need to take note of the following:

In order to prevent the activation of the antibodies, doctors would give women in this category an injection called Rhogam during and after pregnancy to prevent spontaneous abortion due to Rhesus factor incompatibility. The injection is normally administered 28 weeks into pregnancy, 72 hours after delivery, after ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or abortion. If the injection is not administered and the antibodies are activated, they would never be deactivated again!

In many African cultures up till today, women who are so unfortunate to find themselves having serial spontaneous abortions due to Rhesus factor incompatibility are considered witches by some of their people. Some of the women would accuse their in-laws of being behind their predicament.

So, if you’re a woman with Rh– , you need to be very careful. It might be difficult for you to get a husband with a Rh– because about 85% of human beings are Rh+. So, in order not to find yourself in the aforementioned problem, put all that have been said at the back of your mind and go for genetic counselling. If you have a daughter or a sister with Rh–, counsel them on Rhesus Factor Incompatibility and the dangers lying therein.

It should also be noted that a Rh– person(man or woman) cannot receive blood donation from a Rh+ person even if they have the same blood group. The consequence of such blood transfusion is fatal. It would lead to death as the blood would clot. This is due to the incompatibility in their Rhesus factor.

DOCTORS OF MEDICINE , ON MEDICINE, DRUGS, NUTRITION AND HEALTHY LIVING.


TODAY'S TOPIC HONEY 🍯

First, take the Good Honey News!

"...Honey IS BETTER THAN table sugar when honey is used AS MEDICINE, but not when used as a FOOD SWEETENER!!...
This blend of sugar, trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids in honey is quite UNLIKE ANY OTHER SWEETENER on the planet!
... Medicinal uses include:
* As Cough Remedies: Honey works as well as Dextromethorphan, a common ingredient in over-the-counter cough medications,....
* For Skin Cure/Care: Unprocessed honey can help treat Skin Infections, ...helps Wounds heal and improve Dandruff and Itchy Scalp... .there are MORE..." Dr. Joseph Mercola,MD.

Now the Bad Honey News!!
#1: "... Honey as a SWEETENER!
Here, honey is actually WORSE than sugar, since it contains MORE CARBOHYDRATES THAN table sugar!...Per teaspoon, honey has MORE CARBOHYDRATES & MORE CALORIES THAN WHITE SUGAR....THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE IN SUBSTITUTING HONEY FOR SUGAR in a diabetes eating plan, ..." -- MAURA SHENKER, Writing on "Honey & Insulin Spike" on OCT. 03, 2017.

#2: "...Honey is still sugar,... When honey breaks down in your body, its two simple sugars behave differently. Nearly every cell can use glucose, which raises your blood sugar and signals your hormone insulin to either deliver that glucose to cells as an energy source or to store as glycogen or fat.
On the other hand, only the liver can process/use fructose...... excessive fructose amounts can create numerous problems including Insulin Resistance, High Triglycerides, Accumulating Belly fat (increasing your risk for Type 2 diabetes), and Non-alcoholic, Fatty-liver Disease, Gout,etc...Simply put, honey becomes one of those dose-dependent foods:
What can BENEFIT you in VERY SMALL amounts(as medicine) can become a boon when you consume LARGER quantities(as sweetener!).." -- Dr. Jonny Bowden. Speaking through his great book, "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth".

What happens if you eat a few hours before you receive anesthesia or go in for surgery...?

A five-year-old neighbor's daughter died because her parent didn't follow instructions. The child, lets call her Suzie(not real name), was going in for a surgery. The doctors apparently went over the nil per os, "not-to-eat" ad nauseam instructions with the family. This is because the mother complained before the surgery. She actually said that if someone said that to her again, she was going to 'choke’ them.

When the day of surgery came, the parents were asked if Suzie ate anything. They say "NO".

The surgery proceeded.

During surgery, Suzie throws up. A bunch of undigested eggs. The surgeon asked the parent, "Are they sure she didn't eat?
They said, they gave her breakfast because she was hungry and they did not have the heart to say no to their sick child.

Suzie was immediately admitted into the ICU to save her life as a result of difficulty in breathing and many more.
She was placed on a mechanical ventilator.

She died later that week.

All because her parent did not know how to tell her "NO". Their complete inability to make her follow rules. Now she has consequences that aren't her fault.

Interestingly, the parent tried to sue, but they could not find a lawyer to take the case. They are lucky they weren't criminally charged.

So, when the doctor gives you directions, follow them! It could cost you your life not to.
