Answer: It stimulates the activity of osteoblasts, the cells which build new bone. It also inhibits osteoclasts, the cells that remove old bone. It also does alot more - Lactoferrin (LF) exhibits antibacterial, anti fungal, antiviral, antiparasitice, and antitumoral activities. It is protective with regard to intestinal epithelium, promotes bone growth, and accelerates the recovery of immune system function in immunocompromised animals."

Question: Would God deny consuming blood yet cause a naturally nursing mother to fed her child blood products? Mothers Milk and Jehovah's Witnesses by Colleen Ralson According to Jerry Bergman, Ph.D., in his book, Jehovah's Witnesses and Blood Transfusions, theSociety's first direct condemnation of blood transfusions in Watchtower publications was in December 22, 1943, which only mentioned it in connection with immunizations (p. 14). Then in Dec. 1, 1944, theWatchtower came out strongly with prohibitions against the eating of blood or blood transfusions (Ibid. p. 14). The declarations become stronger and more specific to the Witnesses, until by 1961 they were disfellowshipped for accepting a blood transfusion (Ibid, p.17). Their position against blood transfusions still stands today and they would prefer death before they would eat or accept a blood transfusion for themselves or for one of their children. It has been pointed out that eating blood and taking a blood transfusion involves two separate systems of the body, the cardiovascular system and the digestive system. But, to no avail, the Witness still stands firm that blood transfusion is "eating" blood. Perhaps it should be pointed out to the Jehovah's Witnesses that a nursing mother is breaking Jehovah's commandment by allowing her baby to "eat" blood. Soon after the birth of a child, by about the second postpartum day, a substance called colostrum, a white serum, is produced by the mother for her nursing child. "The secretion of colostrum persists for about a week, with gradual conversion to mature milk," (Williams Obstetrics, 15th Ed., p. 378). "Antibodies" as well as "other host resistance factors, as well as immunoglobulins, have been described in human colo¬strum and milk. These include components of complement, macrophages, lymphocytes, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme," (Ibid, p. 378; emphasis mine). The Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary explains that a macrophage is a cell of the body's reticuloendothelial system, which are the wandering cells that have the power to ingest matter in the body such as bacteria. Included in this group of cells is the monocytes, which broken down further areleukocytes, which are white blood corpuscles! (pp. R25, L20). Taber's goes on to say that a lymphocyte, is also "a white blood corpuscle... that normally number from 25-30 percent of total white cells," (Ibid, p. L44; emphasis mine). This presents a dilemma for the faithful Jehovah's Witness. Would Jehovah create the human body in such a way that if a mother in the normal natural way, would nurse her newborn child, she would be making that baby to "eat" blood, which they believe Jehovah forbids? As Ethan Rae said "Jehovah clearly made this possible for a baby." Therefore he said it is OK for all. God would not say "I will allow it for the time a mother breast feeds then it is forbidden from then on".

Answer: Blood is blood no matter from the body or in the breast milk. They always contradict themselfs.

He prides himself on being able to hold his breath longer than any of his buddies and on his cannon-ball off of the high-dive. Although usually oblivious to events that do not concern him directly, he has noticed that the pool seems to be trying to attract people with some rather outrageous events. Last week it was "Swim with your dog" night and this week is was "Swim with your toddler" morning. He's heard some grumbling from his parents and others about these activities but as long as his swim-time isn't interrupted he's not concerned. When Barry gets home from the pool this particular day, he isn't hungry at dinner time and feels sick to his stomach. Soon he has watery diarrhea and a fever. Barry's illness continues for the next 12 days. During this time, the local paper runs a story stating that over 200 people in the community have similar symptoms. A medical lab has found tiny acid-fast spheres in feces from infected individuals.

Hepatitis B g. Hepatitis C

Answer: 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. C

Question: Can you control yourself? I can control my anger; restrain my temptations; survive without food, water and sleep for at least two days... But i can't control my love for my friends (including you, yeah! why not?! Everyone is my friend!) and my family members (including my Dee Dee)...

Having many salt water tanks like that in my house! Wondering whether I can use these s. tanks as saltwater aquariums with some live rocks, live corals and other marine invertebrates etc. Mine are emotional tears which means like 21% more proteins (including prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and leucine enkephalin) and oils, mucin, in addition to water (with tear lipocalin, lactoferrin, lysozyme and lacritin and other proteins). LOL Star if you like! : )

Question: Can i take herbal supplements while pregnant? I was taking some herbal pills before i found out i was pregnant theyre some pills against the flu called immuno start colostrum and glyconutrients supplement the ingridients are: colostrum (bovine premilk 150mg, beta- 1,3 1,6 glucans 20mg , lactoferrin (from milk) 10mg , modified citrus pectin 10mg also has glucose, natural flavors, vegetable stearic acid, malic acid, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, the guy (herbal dr) that sold them to me says its ok since its natural should i take them im almost 7 weeks i want to take them because im dont trust the flu shot and theyre really good and im starting to have a sore throat thank you

Answer: I think they should be ok. Nothing you listed really stands out to me as bad for you or the baby. But to be on the safe side, you should call your OBGYN and make sure it's safe for the baby. A lot of medicines and herbal supplements cross the placenta and get into the baby's blood stream, as well as your own. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's safe during pregnancy.

Question: Help me please!!!!!!? title of film is fame summary oh the story of the film Baler is a classic set love story played in the role by Anne Curtis and Jericho Rosales. It has a unique set up of the love story between a Spaniard and a Filipina that happened in the siege of Baler, Quezon in the World War where we fought the Spaniard colonization. The HUKBALAHAP or Hukbo Laban sa Hapon is the main army of the Philippines that time who resisted in the war against the Japanese and can be clearly manifested in this movie as the same people who fought against the colonization by the Spaniards. The movie, Baler is played in the perfect combination by Anne Curtis, a Filipina who fell in love with Jericho Rosales a Spaniard. This is yet another once in a lifetime team up by two of the best actors and actress in Philippine cinema. Baler is a movie that captures a different twist in its story as set in the early times of the Filipino-Spanish colonization and as the warring parties come across. my answer is correct. i think this film is worth viewing for young people because............ For the most part I feel that young people are truly making an effort in various ways to be wise enough to seek the wisdom from the older generation while the older adults should also realize that the younger generation have some good ideas and meshing the 'old with the new' can be very productive in every aspect of life. I believe from my own experiences that the gap is closing in all the time if both parties reach out and make an effort. my answer is correct the think i liked best about this film was..... A guy should never come between friendship. You and your friend need to talk and decide the best from there. Don't get into a fight because of a guy. Remember, Guys don't always stick around, but friends are there forever. my answer is correct. the thing i liked least about this film was....... it protects the teeth by creating a protective film called pellicles, which regulates the adherence of bacteria and yeast and protects against acid protects against microorganisms via lactoferrin, lysozyme, IgA, and lactoperoxidase initiates digestion by secreteting primarily salivary amylase but also lingual lipase a solvent for tastants (chemicals that stimulate the tast receptors) lubricates food to assist in swallowing it alos lubricates the mouth in general during speech my answer is correct.

Answer: This makes no sense.
