Question by johnny dean farris,: vampires are real read this :}?
[edit] Diagnosis[edit] Porphyrin studiesPorphyria is diagnosed through spectroscopy and biochemical analysis of blood, urine, and stool.[8] In general, urine estimation of porphobilinogen The porphyrias are a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme bio-synthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway). They manifest with either neurological complications (“acute”) or skin problems (“cutaneous”), or occasionally both. The porphyrias may be classified by the primary site of the overproduction and accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors) as hepatic porphyrias, where porphyrins are overproduced in the liver predominantly, or erythropoietic porphyrias, where the overproduction is confined to the bone marrow and the erythrocye (red blood cell) and its precursors.
The term derives from the Greek πορφύρα, porphyra, meaning “purple pigment”. The name is likely to have been a reference to the purple discolouration of feces and urine when exposed to light in patients during an attack.[1] Although original descriptions are attributed to Hippocrates, the disease was first explained biochemically by Felix Hoppe-Seyler in 1871,[2] and acute porphyrias were described by the Dutch physician Barend Stokvis in 1889.[1][3]
The prevalence of all types of porphyria taken together has been estimated to be approximately 1 in 25,000 in the United States.[4] The worldwide prevalence has been estimated to be somewhere between 1 in 500 to 1 in 50,000 people.[5]
(PBG) is the first step if acute porphyria is suspected. As a result of feedback, the decreased production of heme leads to increased production of precursors, PBG being one of the first substances in the porphyrin synthesis pathway.[9] In nearly all cases of acute porphyria syndromes, urinary PBG is markedly elevated except for the very rare ALA dehydratase deficiency or in patients with symptoms due to hereditary tyrosinemia type I.[citation needed] In cases of mercury- or arsenic poisoning-induced porphyria, other changes in porphyrin profiles appear, most notably elevations of uroporphyrins I & III, coproporphyrins I & III and pre-coproporphyrin.[10]
Repeat testing during an attack and subsequent attacks may be necessary in order to detect a porphyria, as levels may be normal or near-normal between attacks. The urine screening test has been known to fail in the initial stages of a severe life threatening attack of acute intermittent porphyria.[citation needed]
The bulk (up to 90%) of the genetic carriers of the more common, dominantly inherited acute hepatic porphyrias (acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria) have been noted in DNA tests to be latent for classic symptoms and may require DNA or enzyme testing. The exception to this may be latent post-puberty genetic carriers of hereditary coproporphyria.[citation needed]
As most porphyrias are rare conditions, general hospital labs typically do not have the expertise, technology or staff time to perform porphyria testing. In general, testing involves sending samples of blood, stool and urine to a reference laboratory.[8] All samples to detect porphyrins must be handled properly. Samples should be taken during an acute attack, otherwise a false negative result may occur. Samples must be protected from light and either refrigerated or preserved.[8]
If all the porphyrin studies are negative, one has to consider pseudoporphyria. A careful medication review often will find the inciting cause of pseudoporphyria
Vampire Disease
When using the term “vampire disease”, it’s important to distinguish between the two different definitions of the term:
•Porphyric Hemophilia is a bacterial disease that humans can become infected by. An infection that is not cured will lead to vampirism.
•Sangue Debolezza is a potentially deadly, rare disease that only vampires can catch.
Porphyric Hemophilia
Porphyric Hemophilia is a condition caused by a bacterial strain carried in the blood and saliva of every vampire. A human who comes in contact with the blood or saliva of a vampire can easily become exposed to this bacteria. Once exposed, an infected human only has about 72 hours to begin antibiotic treatments before the bacteria becomes incurable.
In essence, this “vampire disease” spreads through the human’s body, changing the chemistry of the blood and skin. The first symptoms of infection may include photosensitivity or photodermatitis (sensitivity to light of the eyes o
Patients suffering from the disease were called vampires in the inquisition era because of the symptoms they displayed, many of which are now the fundamental characteristics of the fictional modern day vampire.
People suffering from the vampire disease are incredibly sensitive to the sun. So much so that once exposed to the rays of the sun, their skin would blacken, rupture, swell and eventually become disfigured.
The shrinking of the gums is another common symptom as well as the tautness of the skin, resulting in the exposure of ‘fangs’. If you are wondering if sufferers used to drink blood, then you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. Some were believed to ingest animal blood, but only because they thought it would relieve their anemia. Their urine is also purple-colored, causing many to believe that they did indeed drink blood.
Another common symptom of porphyria is being allergic to garlic. Not because they’ll be repelled and run a thousand miles at a supersonic speed, but because the c
A rare hereditary blood disease, which causes the inability of the body to reproduce heme, the component of hemoglobin, which is the major component or red blood. Lack of heme causes a porphyriac to experience blood cravings, causing the sufferer of this disease to attack people or animals for their blood in desparate attempt to replace the heme their body could not generate. A driven porphyriac would do this without knowing why he/she had done it.
Porphyria causes skin sensativity to sunlight forcing the sufferer to come out only at night. Garlic, which stimulates heme production in healthy people, contains a chemical that worses then painful symptoms of porphyria. The porphyria sufferer would avoid contact with garlic becaused it caused pain, not because he/she was a Vampire.
More severe symptoms caused by this disease are sores and scars on the skin, exessive hariness, the tightening and stretching of the gums and lips causing teeth to appear fang-like. Aslo, in more severe case

Do I Have Body Dysmorphic Disorder? Please Help Me, Please.?
Question by lyss: Do I Have Body Dysmorphic Disorder? Please Help Me, Please.?
I just want to start by thanking you for looking into my question. It truly means a lot to me. Down to the point, I was watching that new show “Awkward.” the other day on MTV, and the phrase “Body Dysmorphic Disorder” came up. In the way that it was used, my subconscious radar went off and I decided to look into it. So I googled the medical term and the search led me to Mayoclinic, where I immediately began relating to the symptoms, causes, and other information I read. Below I have listed what I would think would be important to know for diagnosis.
Symptoms:
- Preoccupation with my physical appearance
-I honestly believe that i have an abnormality or defect in my appearance that makes me ugly
-Frequent examination of myself in the mirror
- I’m severely paranoid that everyone, yes everyone, is disgusted by my appearance. I believe that no one says anything to me about it because they dont want to be mean, but they talk about how ugly I am behind my back.
- If anyone was to ever compliment my I start loosing trust in them
- I starting shaving my legs and underarms at age 8 due to the fact that I thought I was excessively hairy
- I am extremely self-conscious all of the time. Nothing I try to do can take my mind off of being self conscious.
- I don’t refuse to take pictures, but I torture myself over how terrible I look in them.
- I take up activities such as photoshop to fix my many imperfections in photos.
- I pick pimple and other imperfections on my skin because otherwise I get paranoid, thinking that everyone can see them.
- I can not remember a time when I was happy with my appearance. Even as a little girl I hated my body.
- I have to compare myself to other girls. Subconsciously I can’t help but think of how much prettier they are.
- I get miserable when clothes shopping, getting ready for events, etc.
- I can’t walk out of the house with out makeup. Or my hair being done. For me, that would be like walking into the street absolutely naked.
- There is not one feature on my body that I am satisfied with.
- Summer time is dreadful for me because I always want to vomit when I see myself in a bikini.
- When I am older I plan on getting plastic/cosmetic surgery to fix my appearance, although I highly doubt that they will help.
- My breasts are far too small, along with my bottom.
- I have no curves.
- I am overweight.
- My legs are gross and not feminine at all.
- I have a very short spine.
- My stomach is too big, it looks like I’m pregnant.
- My entire body lacks femininity.
- My feet are far too big, I believe I’m a size 8 now.
- I have love handles.
- My thighs are so big that I have stretch marks/ popped blood vessels and they are unsightly.
- I am only 12 and already over 100 pounds.
- I’ve been depressed all my life.
- I recently stopped cutting myself because it just adds to how disgusting I really am.
- I’ve been suicidal for a year now.
- I hate myself. I can never be fixed.
- I can’t imagine anyone really loving me, let alone a boy one day.
- Although I am young, a lot of girls my age get boyfriends and boys tell them they’re pretty, etc. But I have never even been looked at by a guy, let alone told that I am pretty because I’m not.
- Every time my friend and I go to the mall, I get all miserable because it really sucks watching her look so pretty in all the clothes she picks out, and when a guy starts flirting with her.
I know this is long, but please help me. Is this just a phase I will grow out of? Am i crazy? Do I have BDD? I just want to stop being so miserable all the time. Please help me.

Answer by Matt S
I do not know if you have BDD but, what you are describing is something I have heard from my own daughter and my nieces. I am no doctor so I am sharing with you what my experience has been and, hopefully, it will encourage you to get some help.
being so concerned about your body and looks is completely normal for your age. At 12, your body hardly know what is going on and many of your features are going to look out of place for a couple of years. This is true for boys as well but they seem to have an easier time with it than girls. Your brain is not done growing either so it is entirely possible that some of the feelings you are having are simply due to chemical changes in your brain that will resolve with time.
One thing that seriously concerns me is that you have been cutting yourself. There are lots of reasons that people do this (no, you are not alone here). Some do it to relieve stress. By cutting yourself, the pain releases endorphins into your blood stream and temporarily releases stress. It also makes you feel like you are in control of things since you can make the pain start or stop any time that you want. It may also be a sign that you are so upset with yourself that you feel that you deserve to feel pain. YOU DON’T!
I do not know what your family life is like but you need to talk with a family member, a member of your clergy, or maybe a student counselor at school about this. As someone who has suffered from a mental disorder and recovered, I can tell you that there is no shame in who and what you are. It may be that there is nothing wrong with you at all and that a couple of years will solve the problem all on its own. If you do need to be treated, it will be worth whatever embarrassment you think you might have to endure. You do not sound crazy but you do sound like you need some help. Go and get it right now. Don’t wait. You will be glad that you did.
I wish you the best and will keep you in my thoughts.

Q&A: Do you “believe” in pre-diabetes as a condition?
Question by Slippery Sally!: Do you “believe” in pre-diabetes as a condition?
Believe is not the right word but i cant think of a word to say. i am finding that many people say “pre-diabetes” isn’t real. And others say it is very real. If you are having elevated blood sugar that is over normal are you considered diabetic and doctors just don’t want to diagnose you or what. Its a little confusing.
Best answer:
Answer by Bolt
Precancerous cells are neither normal cells nor cancer cells. Since they are not normal cells, they are a condition of cancer, just not full blown cancer. Left untreated they become cancer and cause major health issues and possibly death of the person. Most people understand that precancer is early cancer and don’t have a problem with the doctor using the term precancer instead of cancer.
Similarly, prediabetes is not normal insulin/glucose function but not yet severe enough to cause significant body damage as full blown diabetes. It is still a condition of diabetes. Left untreated, it too will cause major health issues and possible death of the person. Luckily, prediabetes can be treated with lifestyle changes and maybe medication, rather than sugical removal and chemo. So for many, the apparently less serious treatment for prediabetes leads them to believe it;s not a real condition like precancer is.

Q&A: Can a sun allergy be treated by going in the sun?
Question by Noelle: Can a sun allergy be treated by going in the sun?
Whenever I look up “home remedies for sun allergy” all I see are ways to temporarily relieve the symptoms. I have read that as the summer goes on, many people’s rashes go away & their skin gets used to the sun. I also know that going to UV radiation treatments can make the symptoms get much better/go away until next spring. I don’t particularly want to go to any UV radiation treatments, so if I go out into the sun everyday for a few hours, could it produce the same “skin hardening” effect as a UV ray treatment?
Best answer:
Answer by norton g
Noelle, sun allergy is a condition in which sunlight triggers a skin reaction. For most people, sun allergy symptoms include an itchy red rash in areas that have been exposed to sunlight. A severe sun allergy may cause hives, blisters or other symptoms. There are several types of sun allergy — including polymorphic light eruption (PMLE), actinic prurigo, chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) and solar urticaria. More sun and some UV light treatments make it WORSE and lead to premature skin aging, wrinkles, and skin cancer. For most people with a sun allergy, exposing bare skin to bright sunlight during the spring or summer triggers the allergic skin reaction.
Treatment depends on the particular type of sun allergy you have. It may include: corticosteroid creams, oral antihistamines, oral corticosteroids, or other medications.

Did you hear about Chester and the SPCA?
Question by Cleoppa: Did you hear about Chester and the SPCA?
I don’t know if this is true or not. I checked with Snopes and its not there yet, though I submitted it to them. Has anyone heard this story and know if its true or not?
Here it is:
Last Saturday I received a frantic call from a 53 year old lady named Rusty Taylor
who was eating a sandwich on Wilshire Boulevard & Van Ness Avenue, downtown
Los Angeles area. A car with SPCA emblem, pulled up, officers in uniform drew their guns
and ordered her to surrender her 13 year old Cocker Spaniel to them because “he had a skin
condition”. They forced her to place him in their vehicle and ave her instructions to show up
at a hearing at the police precinct on Monday. She did & they informed her “Chester” would
NOT be returned to her and would instead be adopted out.
SInce WHEN does the SPCA have guns & do this to citizens???? On the street???? or ANYWHERE???
cont’d
The Brownshirts HAVE BEGUN! And those of you that do not know what I am referring to— they were
the first enforcement group for the NAZI regime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownshirts
The City Charter only allows ONE Animal Enforcement Agency within the
city. When did they fire LAAS? Let’s Make the SPCA produce the LETTER
REQUIRED BY LAW FROM THE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTING THEM THE ANIMAL
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND FIRING LAAS.
OK. I NEED YOUR HELP!!!! ALL OF YOU all over the nation… please call the following numbers:
213- 473-6672 Internal Affairs now called Police Standards Bureau.
I guess they think changing the name will give them a better image.
Also call the WIlshire Police Station at 213-473-0476 and ask for the Watch
Commander. Ask him WHY he is allowing this ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BEHAVIOR to happen on his Watch.

P.S. Chester’s skin condition is from his bout with the pet food poisoning.
He survived but has a reduced immune system even at the age of 13!

*Keep in mind, if you don’t have a makeup setting spray like the one I used in the video, substitute a light moisturizer. Follow the same steps, except dab a light moisturizer onto the back of your hand, dip the brush in it *lightly* and then follow the rest of the steps in the video. Keep in mind, to keep your makeup in tact, you’ll need to be extra careful and use a VERY light hand. Works every time!
