Rhesus Factor effects

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 factor have “positive”(+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+ while those who do not have the Rh factor have “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB–. 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. We have here what is medically called Rhesus Factor Incompatibility . The baby would obviously be Rh+. During child birth, baby inherits their Rh+ from the father. 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. Know your Rhesus factor today!

SAINT ROCCO OF MONTPELLIER

Patron of the sick

Asked by an angel,

"What do you wish of God?"

St. Roch said,

"Whoever calleth my name, he shall not be hurt with any hurt of illness."

Saint Roch (also known as Rocco or Roque) was the only son of a wealthy nobleman in France, who seems to have been governor of the town of Montpellier. In answer to the persevering prayers of the parents, this child was granted to them. His future career was indicated by a birthmark in the form of a red cross that was deeply marked on his breast.

The parents raised St Roch in a devout manner. Proof was given when, at the age of 20, he lost both parents. He did not use the immense fortune he inherited for his personal benefit, but he sold all the personal property and distributed the proceeds among the poor while he transferred the ownership of the real estate to his uncle. This done, he joined the Third Order of St Francis, put on a pilgrim's garb, and journeyed to Rome to visit the tombs of the Apostles.

When he arrived at Acquapendente in northern Italy about the year 1315, he found that an epidemic had broken out there and was making fearful ravages. Saint Roch did not hasten on, as many another person, fearful for his life, would have done, but according to the example of Christ and the admonition of the beloved disciple (1 John 3:16), he offered his life in the service of his brethren in Christ.

Saint Roch went to the hospital of St John, which was filled with the plague stricken, and offered his services to the brothers there. He also went to individual homes and sought out the sick, serving them without rest by day and by night. God rewarded his heroic charity by causing many to be cured at the mere Sign of the Cross which Saint Roch made over them. When the plague abated, Roch proceeded on his journey to Rome.

In Rome, too, an epidemic had broken out. Besides visiting the holy places, Saint Roch again devoted himself to the care of the sick, many of whom were miraculously cured by him. He performed the same services in many other towns of Italy until he arrived in Piacenza and was himself stricken with the dread disease. In the very hospital where he had cured so many sick, he was now looked upon as an intruder, who as an outsider had no right to claim a place there.

In order not to be a burden to others, he arose, left the house, and with the support of a staff dragged himself wearily to a neighboring woods. There he came upon a dilapidated hut with a bit of straw, where he lay down, thanking God for the quiet lodging.

God Himself provided for his nourishment. As He once took care of Elias, sending him bread by means of a raven, so He now sent bread to Roch by means of a dog from a neighboring country house.

The sick man gradually recovered. When he had regained sufficient strength, he was divinely inspired to return to his native town. There furious warfare was raging. The soldiers whom he encountered thought he was a spy. He was led before the governor of Montpellier, his own uncle, who, however, did not recognize his nephew in the emaciated prisoner, and had the supposed spy cast into prison.

Saint Roch did not say a word in his defense; he wished, like Christ, to accept in silence whatever heaven had ordained for him. Because of the disturbances of the war, he was almost completely forgotten, and languished in prison for 5 years. Then death put an end to his trials on August 16, 1378.

When he felt that his end was drawing near, Saint Roch asked that a priest might come and administer the last sacraments. The priest, on entering the prison, beheld it supernaturally lighted up and the poor captive surrounded with special radiance. As death claimed its victim, a tablet appeared on the wall on which an angelic hand wrote in golden letters the name of Roch, and the prediction that all who would invoke his intercession would be delivered from the plague.

Informed of all that took place, Saint Roch's uncle came to the prison and, shortly after, also the governor's mother, that is, Roch's grandmother. She identified the dead man as her grandson by the birthmark of the red cross on his breast. They gave him a magnificent funeral and had a church built in his honor, in which his body was entombed. His veneration was approved by several popes and soon spread throughout Europe. He was canonized by Pope Urban VIII.

FOUR DOGMAS OF BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The four dogmas of Mary celebrated in the catholic church are

MARY’S DIVINE MOTHERHOOD- 1ST JANUARY

MARY PERPETUAL VIRGINITY ----8TH SEPTEMBER

MARY IMMACULATE CONCEPTION-----

-------------8TH DECEMBER 1854

ASUMPTION OF MARY-------------------- 15TH AUGUST 1950

PROMULGATION OF THE DOGMA OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX officially declared the Immaculate Conception a dogma of the Church, which means that all Christians are bound to accept it as true. As the Holy Father wrote in the Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis Deus, "We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful."

The four dogmas were officially declared by Pope Pious X11 in 1950 as a dogma of the Church, which means that all Christians are bound to accept it as true.

Mary was preserved from original sin and prepared as a living tabernacle where the savior of the world will incarnate. We notice the pattern in Genesis 3:9-15, 20 and Luke 1:26-38: the drama of the fall of humanity and the drama of the restoration of humanity. Eve was involved in a dialogue which ensued between her and Satan. Mary (the second Eve) was involved in a dialogue between her and the angel Gabriel.

The first dialogue introduced Adam into the drama which led to the fall of humanity while the second dialogue introduced Jesus Christ which led to the restoration or salvation of humanity.

Just has God has planned to save humanity by sending his only begotten son so did he plan to save us by preserving Mary from the stain of original sin.

The woman (Eve) has an active role in the fall of humanity so also the woman in the person of Mary had an active role in the restoration/salvation of the human race.

Also our Blessed virgin mother did what nobody has ever done in history. She corrected the 1st mistake of our earlier mother (EVE)

BVM brought sanity into the world while Eve brought sin into the world (Gen 3:1-15)

BVM was obedient to God when the angels appeared to her (Luke 1: 37- 44) while Eve was disobedient to God by eating the forbidden fruit.

BVM defeated the serpent, darkness, evil and sin (Rev 12) and accepted to be the mother of God while Eve could not defeat the Serpent, darkness sin and death

BVM brought live to the world (Gal 4: 4…..) while Eve brought death into the world (Gen: 19-21)

As the mother of God BVM was assumed body and soul into heaven as the God has stated in the book of psalm her body and legs shall not suffer from sand and death.

The Vatican II document, Lumen gentium, says: "At the message of the Angel, the Virgin Mary received the Word of God in her heart and in her body, and gave Life to the World. Hence she is acknowledged and honoured as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the Redeemer’ (Lumen Gentium, 52).

Mary the mother of God is venerated in a special way, as "Hyperdulia", the highest of the God's creatures. She is the first lady on earth - personally blessed by God's Arch Angel Gabriel. Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist acknowledged Mary as the "Mother of God"..

5 LAWS ON ASKING A LADY OUT.

1) Be Sure what You Want from her First.

it's very bad for a lady you are "toasting" to ask you exactly what you want, and you are stuttering, telling her you people should start first, start wetin first? Na generator?

My friend, will you enter a taxi if the driver is not sure of his destination, and he tells you to enter first? Will you enter?

2) Don't start calling her sweet names yet

You are applying for ADMISSION, don't talk like a GRADUATE.

Aim high, but start small, like referring to her by her name first, when the gbedu don enter body, she'll be the one suggesting sweet names for you to call her. Till then, calm down.

She's still processing your application, she said she'll think about it, which one is "My Love, baby, sweetheart, my pumpkin"

America have not given you visa, you are already speaking "in it, in it"..... kontinu Sir...

3) Give her small Space during the waiting period. .

Even Jesus Christ the Son of God, when he knocks at the door of our heart, he WAITS for us to open eet.

Your own, you want to break the door..

10 missed calls in 10 minutes.

6:05am

"BABY, what of that thing I told you about?"

(you've broken 2 laws here already)

6;07am

"Vicky, please don't forget me, I'm waiting"

7;00am

"My Love, give me a chance na, you won't regret It"

... Uncle, she's already regretting giving you her number..

Give her space to breath and evaluate things, you may pressure her to accept you and you end up regretting it.

Don't stalk her, lest you end up giving her the impression that you are a serial killer.

4) Don't Demand An instant Answer.

Don't ask a lady to give you her answer there and then.

Relationship is not instant noodles.

A right thinking Lady will want to be sure you are normal before saying Yes to you. it's nothing out of the ordinary.

If she says she just wants to be friends with you first, don't walk away, you should be happy when a lady says this, it means she's trying to study and get to know you, it means you have a chance to win her heart and be elected into office if you perform in the primaries (friendship) well..

Be Patient

5) If it becomes apparent that she's just using your proposal to keep herself warm like cardigan, or she's just wasting your time and she's not actually interested in you, Jejely walk away.

is proposal you propose, you didn't commit sin.

Thank You.

Except a lady really really likes you, breaking these laws can turn off any Lady who may have otherwise given you a chance and cost you a potential relationship/marriage.

"Do Not Marry A Man You Can Not Respect" .

~

Popular relationship expert and cleric, highlights the basic needs of men in marriage.

"Some of you women have husbands who are alive physically, but you have killed them emotionally with the way you speak to them.

Some women talk to their husbands anyhow because they feel they are better than him in some areas. Please, do not have an African or American marriage; have a cultured-based marriage.

Even if he is very short, you saw him like that before you married him. Do not marry a man you can not respect.

The greatest need of a man is not physical intimacy or food. One of his greatest need is respect.

Sometimes, I wake my husband up with a love song. When a man wakes up like this, anything you want he will give it to you.

WHY I CHOSE POLYGAMY

WHY SHOULD A MAN GO FOR A SECOND WIFE WHEN THE FIRST WIFE IS STILL ALIVE, HEALTHY?

Second marriages are tricky business, the baggage can be major and multilayered

It's cimplicated and sometimes frustrating.

I am totally against polygamy, i don't know about you.

Some men who have two wives said that, their first wife pushed them into marrying a second wife.

They said, their first wife had no care for their home.

Based on Religion (doctrines/teachings) like the Muslim Counterpart, all i advice is that, a man who has chosen to have a second wife must take care of them.

He must not favour one wife and neglect the other.

He also must not show that he loves one more than the other.

If he begin to show that he prefers one to the other, he has sown a wrong seed in the mind of his wives.

They wives may begin to hate themselves.

Overtime, i have come to realise the one reason men take a second wife.

It is because they are bored with their first wife, (boredom)

Any woman who wants to stop her husband from taking a second wife should do so in a calm, smart way.

If a man's decision to marry a second wife is not based on his religion, his wife can convince him not to take a second wife.

However, wives should wake up to their roles as mothers.

It is possible for a woman to convince her husband not to marry a second wife.

The affected woman should begin to pay attention to her dressing, cooking and other things that would make her husband happy in his home.

It is so easy for a woman to win her husband's heart if she knows the right button to press.

*Almost all men wants to be loved and cared for*

A woman must not be a grandmother to her husband.

She should be his wife and dress like his wife.

She should constantly do things that make the husband happy.

God Bless You.

Your Happiness Is Most Paramount.
