OK, EXPLAINING DABIS SCARRING because @good-lord-not-books asked
*note these are just my hcs and some medical research
I'm putting this under a cut because it's long as hell, and I apologize in advance for any typos or if it's confusing. I have no problem explaining further♡
His scars are hypertrophic. which 1) explains the discoloration. It's what happens when the smaller blood vessels become partially or fully obstructed with scar tissue. They typcially start off pinkish or light red. (like when he woke up from his coma.)
Typically the treatment for this is laser removal. But if you don't have access the color may naturally shift with age/as it natueally heals. But with continuous damage to the areas.. the scar will get darker as the veins and tissue is further injured (the deeper into the skin and possible muscle it damages)
most hyrpertophic scarring can take a year + to heal. but obviously Dabi just keeps making his worse. The scars themselves are cause by the body over producing collagen for wound healing and not actually being able to break all of it down.
Which leaves collagen fibers in the skin to harden and thicken. Hardened skin doesn't allow much give, lessening the skins elasticity over all. Which can be shown in the way his unscarred skin pulls along the edges where the dermal rings line said scars. (my thoughts on his staples acrually being dermal rings will be at the end)
That's not even going into the nerve damage systemically for him considering hes covered in that kind of scar. So when he says he can't feel a thing it's literal as the nerve endings are shot to shit. And that is only going into skin deep level.
Interal organ nerve damage is a whole other mess due to the scaringbeing from burns. As severe enough burns cause systemic damage. (will also go into atfer the scarring part)
His skin looks TIGHT on him. If he did have and semblance of sensation in his nerves it might feel like hella tight/dry skin. Also I think hypertrophic scars are an inflammation response to the body healing.
His body is literally misshapen from it. (and yes we love him the way he is) You can see in panels where the skin is probably softer where there's lack of muscle definition but can see where it's tighter or pulling over his arms/ shoulders/ribcage because the skins elasticity is non-existent. The instances where it's sifter looking is probably due to his body trying to retain as much body fat it can to keep healthy (or as healthy as it's going to get in his state.)
As far as it going right up to his lower lids and having zero tear ducts. that man has chronic dry eye like it's nobodies business. so itchy and possibly bleeding eyes isn't a shock. he probably has several counts of grand larceny in artificial tears alone.
Ok so as for his scaring being from burns, burns affect the whole body and how it works depending on the severity.
It can effect muscle tissue/muscle mass, bone structure and interior organs.
Given he seems to be perpetually giving himself 3rd degree + burns .. his respiratory system and cardiovascular system are probably shot to shit. Just from smoke inhalation and perpetual injury. (hypertrophic scars fill the veins with scar tissue remember) Assuming how deep the burn and scar tissue goes.
But we haven't seen him with much breathing issues so I'm assuming it's whatever. He has mentioned motion sickness and we've even seen him turning down food. So I can at least go into it's affects on his GI tract.
In the GI tract, burns can result in increased gastric secretions, reduced intestinal motility, decreased nutrient absorption, increased GI mucosal permeability, bacterial translocation and increased intra-abdominal pressure. If it's bad enough he may have ulcers or gi hemorrhaging. Severe burns also cause liver and intestinal damage.
The fact that he's been alive this long is wild if he's been homeless this whole time and just committing small crimes to not die. One thing that irritates me is when people think he would be incredibly unhygienic due to the scars and such.
Like do you understand how CLEAN you have to keep burn injuries to keep them from getting infected?? Even if it's layered over already damaged and scarred skin. He might smell like burnt flesh but I doubt he's letting wounds fester.
Yes he could probably just cauterize himself but that's still just burning burn wounds. Especially with 0% health insurance. I always assumed he kept breaking into the Todoroki family home when he knew no one would be there to do basic things to make sure he didn't die on the street over the years.
Quick add on to my thoughts on his staples just being dermal rings to homd his skin together/as a form of human Kinstugi.
They (the rings) are pretty rounded in the manga, surgical staples aren't nearly that large either so I always assumed human Kinstugi regardless of metal color (between manga gold or anime silver) and it was both decorative and necessary for his skin.
I just assumed wherever the rings weren't, it was just spots he couldn't reach.
it's also shown in the manga that he's adjusting/adding more along his scars.

als, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term Kintsugi, it's this
Kintsugi (Japanese: 金継ぎ, lit. 'golden joinery'), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The method is similar to the maki-e technique. Its the Japanese philosophy that the value of an object is not in its beauty, but in its imperfections, and that these imperfections are something to celebrate, not hide.
which I think suits his character very well when his piercings and dermal rings are gold looking in some of the colored manga art.
ok, I'll shut up now, ♡

Gastric Acid Stimulation and Production Pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production The parietal cells in the stomach are responsible for the production of gastric acid. Parietal cells contain secretory canaliculus, which produce gastric acid and release it into the gastric lumen. Gastric acid is produced as a response to the messages received through hormonal, paracrine, and neurocrine messengers (Schubert & Peura, 2008). The production of gastric acid undergoes three phases namely cephalic phase, gastric phase, and intestinal phase. Gastrin, the major hormonal trigger of gastric acid production is produced by the G cells located in the pyloric mucosa of the stomach. The G cells will release gastrin in response to a meal. However, the Histamine 2 receptors are thought to be the primary stimulus for the secretion of gastric acid. How GERD, PUD, and gastritis affect the stimulation and production of gastric acid Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder caused by reflux of acid in the stomach. GERD is more commonly referred to as a heartburn. Hydrochloric acid is naturally produced in the human stomach, which signals the gastric gland to secret gastric acid, which contains the essential digestive enzymes for breaking down protein molecules to enable easy digestion (Kahrilas, 2003). There are instances when too much or too little acid is produced. Too much secretion of the acid in the stomach causes an acid reflux to the esophagus, which results in a heartburn. This condition leads to an increase in the stimulation and production of gastric acid in the stomach. Gastric acid is a trigger to the symptoms of GERD. Offering dietary and lifestyle changes can reduce the amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach. PUD (Peptic Ulcer Disease) refers to the painful sores in the lining of the stomach, or the duodenum. This mainly occurs due to the disturbance of mucosal integrity in the stomach, caused by local inflammation, which eventually leads to a mucosal defect. Based on the pathophysiology, the disease can be either acute or chronic. The pathophysiology would include those caused by anti-inflammatory drugs, excess acid secretion or transferrable etiology ulcers. There is a likely chance of a person suffering from PUD when they experience a massive secretion of gastric acid. Increased secretion of gastric acid mostly occurs to people who have increased parietal cells. Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach's protective lining. Acute gastritis involves sudden severe inflammation, and chronic gastritis includes long-term inflammation that lasts for years if untreated. Gastritis is commonly caused by weaknesses in the stomach lining that allows digestive juices to inflame and damage it. There would be an increase in the production of gastric acid in the stomach of a person suffering from gastritis because their stomach wall would allow the acid to pass easily. Abnormal increase in the gastric secretion of the person would result in abdominal pain that would be caused by increased collision in the stomach. How age affects the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis It has been noted through various research that GERD in infants and children is more common than earlier thought, but it is more prevalent amongst the elderly. The elderly may suffer from abnormal reflux of acid into the esophagus. Elderly people have weakened muscles, thus are more prone to GERD, which would mean they suffer from more heartburns than the average adult does or their disease is more severe (Chait, 2010). A decrease in esophageal pain perception is demonstrated in elderly patients, thus making it seem they suffer less from GERD. Elderly people will have an increase in gastric acid production, which results in increase of GERD. The production of gastric acid would no longer be triggered by having a meal. The acid reflux would increase the amount of acid in the stomach and esophagus in elderly patients, because they would also have damaged the lining of the esophagus. PUD on the other hand is most likely to affect people above 50 years. However, research has indicated that a majority of people about 70% of the population aged between 25 to 65 years suffer from the disease. Therefore, age is not a major contributor towards the pathophysiology of the disease, but older people are more likely to suffer from the disease. Anti-inflammatory drugs can result in the imbalance and lead to a massive secretion of gastric acid. This would result in PUD. Elderly people are mostly on anti-inflammatory drugs and one of the drugs can result in the condition. The destruction of the stomach lining results in gastritis. Elderly persons are more likely to have their stomach lining destroyed and this would cause gastritis. As one ages, their stomach lining wall becomes weak and this makes it easy for acid to pass through the wall. An increase in gastric acid in the stomach would result in gastritis. An increase in acid production within the stomach would increase the destruction of the stomach lining, resulting in chronic gastritis. Diagnosing and prescribing treatment for GERD, PUD, and gastritis For GERD, there are three main tests used when a patient is suspected to have GERD. They are endoscopy, manometry, and esophageal pH monitoring. If GERD is detected by any of the tests, the goal of treatment would be to manage the disease (Boeckxstaens & Rohof, 2014). Reducing the amount of acid found in the stomach would be the main goal of treatment, which would also result in the decrease of reflux that occurs. Over the counter antacids can be prescribed for mild GERD and recommending lifestyle changes. A patient suspected of suffering from PUD would be required to undergo testing for h pylori infection (Konturek & Konturek, 2014). The best treatment for ulcers is identifying what causes them and recommending the patient makes lifestyle changes. A patient can also be given medication or undergo surgery. To diagnose gastritis, a physical evaluation would be performed, and a review of family and personal medical history. Tests would include blood test, upper endoscopy, or a stool test. Treatment would involve providing antacids in order to reduce stomach acid. Making changes in diet like avoiding spicy food, or dairy products. Conclusion The stimulation and production of gastric acid within the stomach aids in the digestion of food, but too much gastric acid would result in abnormalities. This abnormalities can result in different complications like GERD, PUD, or gastritis. The conditions are not life threatening and can be easily managed. However, they do affect the quality of life because they case the patient discomfort and pain. References Boeckxstaens, G. E., & Rohof, W. O. (2014).

The Role of Endoscopic in Gastrointestinal Health

In recent years, Endoscopic Spine Surgery has emerged as a revolutionary technique in the field of medicine particularly in gastrointestinal health. This minimally invasive approach allows doctors to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract with reduced recovery times and lower risks compared to traditional surgical methods. As medical technology continues to advance understanding the role of endoscopic surgery is essential for both patients and healthcare professionals.
What is Endoscopic Surgery?
Endoscopic surgery involves the use of an endoscope a flexible tube with a camera and light source at its end. This instrument allows surgeons to visualize internal organs without making large incisions.
Instead of open surgery where significant cuts are made endoscopic procedures require only small punctures which results in less pain minimal scarring and faster recovery.
Applications in Gastrointestinal Health
Endoscopic surgery is primarily used to diagnose and treat conditions in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum. Here are some of the most common applications:
1. Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Disorders
Endoscopic is a valuable diagnostic tool. It can help identify various gastrointestinal issues such as ulcers, tumours and inflammatory diseases. Procedures like upper endoscopic and colonoscopy allow doctors to visually examine the digestive tract and take biopsies if necessary.
2. Treatment of Gastrointestinal Conditions
In addition to diagnosis endoscopic surgery can be used to treat several gastrointestinal conditions. For instance, endoscopic mucosal resection allows for the removal of early-stage cancers or polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. Similarly, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can treat bile duct obstructions or gallstones.
3. Management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Patients suffering from GERD may benefit from endoscopic techniques that strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter reducing acid reflux symptoms. This procedure is often less invasive than traditional fundoplication surgery.
4. Weight Loss Procedures
Endoscopic methods have also been utilized for weight loss. Gastric balloon procedures involve placing a balloon in the stomach to promote satiety aiding in weight management without the need for extensive surgery.
5. Hemostasis
In cases of gastrointestinal bleeding endoscopic surgery can be a lifesaving intervention. Techniques such as clipping or cauterizing the bleeding site can effectively stop the bleeding and stabilize the patient.
Advantages of Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery offers numerous benefits over traditional surgical approaches including:
1. Reduced Recovery Time
Patients often experience shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times. Many can resume normal activities within a few days instead of weeks as required after open surgery.
2. Less Pain and Scarring Smaller incisions lead to reduced postoperative pain and minimal scarring enhancing overall patient satisfaction.
3. Lower Risk of Complications Endoscopic procedures are associated with fewer complications such as infections or blood loss making them safer options for patients.
The Role of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a prime example of how minimally invasive approaches are transforming care in other medical fields. This technique is utilized to treat spinal conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis allowing for direct visualization of the spine and targeted treatment without large incisions. Just like in gastrointestinal applications endoscopic spine surgery offers several advantages:
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less muscle damage and quicker recovery.
Precision: Surgeons can target specific areas minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Outpatient Procedures: Many endoscopic spine surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis reducing the need for extensive hospital stays.
Conclusion
Endoscopic surgery represents a significant advancement in medical technology particularly within gastrointestinal health. Its minimally invasive nature coupled with its effectiveness in diagnosis and treatment has transformed patient care. As techniques continue to evolve patients can expect even more benefits from these innovative procedures. Whether you are facing gastrointestinal issues or spinal conditions, it’s important to consult with healthcare professionals experienced in endoscopic procedures.

best Homeopathy Treatment for Peptic Ulcer
Peptic ulcers are painful sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. They occur due to the erosion caused by stomach acid, often aggravated by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or the chronic use of NSAIDs like aspirin. While conventional medicine offers treatments that primarily focus on symptom management, homeopathy seeks to address the root cause of the condition and promote overall well-being.
Understanding Peptic Ulcers
Peptic ulcers are not just a localized problem but a reflection of underlying imbalances in the body. The most common causes include:
Bacterial Infection: Helicobacter pylori is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers. This bacterium disrupts the stomach’s protective lining, allowing acid to cause damage.
NSAIDs: Chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can interfere with the stomach’s ability to protect itself from acid, leading to ulcers.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol consumption, excessive caffeine, and stress can exacerbate the condition.
Other Causes: Conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, characterized by tumors that increase acid production, can also lead to ulcers.
Symptoms of Peptic Ulcers
The symptoms of peptic ulcers can vary, but the most common include:
Burning Pain: Typically located between the navel and breastbone, this pain can last for minutes to hours and may be more intense at night.
Nausea and Vomiting: Often accompanied by a loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss.
Bleeding: In severe cases, ulcers can cause vomiting of blood or the presence of blood in stools, leading to anemia and weakness.
Homeopathy: A Natural Approach to Healing
Homeopathy offers a natural and holistic approach to treating peptic ulcers, focusing on restoring balance within the body and strengthening its inherent healing mechanisms. Unlike conventional treatments that primarily provide temporary relief, homeopathy aims to address the underlying causes of the condition.
Key Aspects of Homeopathy Treatment for Peptic Ulcer:
Root Cause Treatment: Homeopathic remedies are selected based on the individual’s unique symptoms and constitution, aiming to correct the underlying imbalance that causes ulcers. This personalized approach is fundamental to homeopathy.
Symptom Relief: While addressing the root cause, homeopathic remedies also provide relief from the painful symptoms of peptic ulcers, such as burning pain, nausea, and bloating.
Strengthening the Digestive System: Homeopathy supports the structure and function of the stomach and intestines, helping to restore the integrity of the mucosal lining and prevent further damage from gastric acids.
Boosting Immunity: By enhancing the body’s natural defenses, homeopathic treatment helps combat H. pylori infection and reduces the likelihood of ulcer recurrence.
Safe and Painless: Homeopathic remedies are gentle, with no side effects, making them suitable for long-term use without the risks associated with conventional medications like antibiotics and antacids.
Emotional Support: Stress is a known aggravator of peptic ulcers. Homeopathy not only addresses physical symptoms but also provides remedies that help manage stress and anxiety, contributing to overall well-being.
Common Homeopathic Remedies for Peptic Ulcers
Several homeopathic remedies are commonly used to treat peptic ulcers. The selection of the remedy depends on the individual’s specific symptoms and constitution. Some of the most frequently prescribed remedies include:
Nux Vomica: Effective for ulcers caused by lifestyle factors like stress, alcohol, and overeating, with symptoms like irritability and digestive discomfort.
Argentum Nitricum: Used for ulcers accompanied by anxiety and nervousness, often with a craving for sweets.
Lycopodium: Suitable for individuals with bloating, gas, and a tendency to overeat, often associated with ulcers in the duodenum.
Arsenicum Album: Beneficial for ulcers with burning pain, particularly when the pain worsens after midnight and is relieved by warm drinks.
Phosphorus: Indicated for bleeding ulcers, with symptoms like vomiting blood and a tendency towards weakness and fatigue.
The Homeopathic Process
Homeopathic treatment for peptic ulcers begins with a detailed consultation, where the practitioner assesses not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional and mental state of the patient. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed, focusing on the specific needs of the patient.
The treatment is closely monitored, with regular follow-ups to assess progress and make any necessary adjustments. This holistic approach ensures that the patient’s overall health improves, not just the ulcer symptoms.
Enhancing Quality of Life
Homeopathy is not just about treating the ulcer; it’s about improving the patient’s overall quality of life. By addressing the root cause of the condition and supporting the body’s natural healing processes, homeopathy helps patients lead healthier, more balanced lives.
In addition to the physical treatment, homeopathic practitioners often provide moral support and guidance on lifestyle modifications that can further aid in the healing process. This holistic care approach helps in managing stress, improving diet, and adopting healthier habits that contribute to long-term well-being.
Conclusion
Homeopathy offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments for peptic ulcers, focusing on treating the individual as a whole rather than just the symptoms. With its emphasis on natural healing, personalized care, and overall wellness, homeopathy provides a safe and effective way to manage peptic ulcers and enhance the quality of life for those affected.

ulcer homeopathy treatment | homeopathic treatment
Heal ulcers with homeopathy, A completely natural treatment
Ulcers can cause tremendous pain and disruption in one’s life. Whether gastric or duodenal, these open sores in the lining of the stomach or small intestines affect millions each year. While conventional medicine relies on antacids, H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid production, these only provide temporary relief and do not tackle the underlying causes.
Homeopathy takes a different approach. As a holistic system of medicine, homeopathy sees ulcers as an outer manifestation of inner imbalance in the body and aims to stimulate the body’s defence mechanisms. Homeopathic treatment focuses on addressing the root factors contributing to ulcer formation while providing relief from symptoms. The goal is a true inner cure rather than superficial management of signs.
Several homeopathic medicines for ulcers have shown success in treating various types of ulcers based on specific symptom pictures.
Complemented by individualized lifestyle and dietary recommendations, the judicious use of well-selected homeopathic remedies can put ulcer patients on the path to genuine recovery without harsh side effects. This article will explore the homeopathic viewpoint on ulcers and the key remedies and approaches used for their treatment.
An ulcer is an open, painful sore that develops on the inner lining of the stomach or upper part of the small intestine. Ulcers form when there is an imbalance between digestive fluids in the stomach and duodenum and the defence mechanisms that protect the stomach and intestinal lining. The two most common types of ulcers are gastric ulcers which occur in the stomach, and duodenal ulcers which develop in the upper part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. The stomach normally secretes acidic digestive juices which can eat away at the stomach lining. Excess acid paired with a breakdown in protective factors allows a sore to form. Common causes for ulcers include infection with the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, long-term use of anti-inflammatory medications, and excess acid production due to stress or spicy foods. The symptoms of ulcers may include, burning upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Ulcers are quite common globally, affecting millions of adults each year.
What are the factors causing ulcers?
The development of ulcers stems from an imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors in the stomach and duodenum. Major causes include:
Infection with H. pylori bacteria – This is the most common cause, responsible for up to 80% of stomach ulcers. The bacteria release substances that damage and inflame the stomach lining.
Frequent NSAID pain medication use – Common over-the-counter medicines like aspirin and ibuprofen can irritate the stomach lining, especially with prolonged use. This reduces mucosal defenses.
Excess stomach acid – High acidic levels, exacerbated by caffeine, alcohol, spicy food or stress, can overwhelm protective factors allowing painful sores to form.
Poor blood supply – Restricted blood flow impairs the ability of the stomach lining to repair itself by transporting nutrients, bicarbonates and mucus needed to maintain integrity.
Genetic factors – A family history of ulcers suggests a genetic component, often related to increased acid production or H. pylori susceptibility.
Identifying and addressing the root causes and risk factors at play is crucial for effective, long-lasting treatment of ulcers. The homeopathic approach considers innate susceptibility along with lifestyle and environmental disease triggers in each individual.
What are the Symptoms?
The most predominant symptom of peptic ulcers is a burning or gnawing abdominal pain that can feel quite intense and comes and goes. The pain typically occurs in the upper middle part of the abdomen, just below the breastbone. It usually emerges a few hours after eating when the stomach is empty and is alleviated somewhat by eating bland foods or taking antacids. Other possible symptoms include bloating, belly swelling or fullness; nausea and vomiting; poor appetite and unintentional weight loss; intolerance to fatty foods which worsen pain; and dark blood in stools or vomit if ulcers are bleeding. Pain can last minutes to hours depending on the severity and location of the lesion. Unfortunately, symptoms in some cases may be quite vague before a stressor like an illness triggers more evident signs of an underlying ulcer. Identifying unique symptom patterns and precipitating factors helps guide individualized homeopathic treatment for ulcers.
Preventive measures for ulcer
👉Test and treat H. pylori infection if present – Eradicating this bacteria prevents recurrence in most cases
👉Avoid overuse of NSAID pain medications – Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible
👉Manage stress levels – Chronic anxiety and stress increase ulcer risk
👉Eat regular, small meals – Avoid going too long without eating to reduce excess acid
👉Limit coffee, alcohol, and spicy foods – These irritate the stomach lining
👉Stop smoking – Smoking hampers the defensive mechanisms protecting the stomach
👉Consider probiotic and zinc supplementation – Probiotics boost gut health while zinc aids tissue repair
Homeopathy treatment for ulcer
The homeopathic approach to ulcers focuses on supporting the body’s innate healing capacity while addressing underlying causes that drive symptom manifestations. The initial case-taking by a homeopath explores physical symptoms as well as mental/emotional attributes, sensitivities, cravings and aversions to match the total symptom picture to the appropriate single homeopathic remedy for ulcer. Rather than directly suppressing acid secretion as conventional medicines do, homeopathic medicines for ulcers stimulate the body’s natural regulatory processes to restore equilibrium gentler and less invasively. Commonly used remedies include,
1. Arsenicum album for burning pain relieved by hot food/drink.
2. Argentum nitricum for ulceration with “splinter-like” pains.
3. Lycopodium for bloating and excess acidity worse from onions/oats/gas-producing foods.
4. Phosphorous for bleeding ulcers with sensitivity to cold.
With an experienced homeopathic practitioner guiding remedy selection and potency level, the correct remedy for ulcer can act deeply to heal ulcer lesions, reduce pain/discomfort and prevent a recurrence.
While conventional medicine relies primarily on antacids and acid blockers for temporary symptomatic relief, homeopathy for ulcers takes a deeper curative approach by addressing underlying susceptibilities towards ulcer formation. By selecting individualized homeopathy medicines for ulcers based on the patient’s mental, emotional and physical symptom profiles, homeopathic treatment for ulcers aims to stimulate the healing of existing ulcers while reestablishing balance to prevent future lesions. With the assistance of an experienced practitioner, homeopathy serves as a potentially effective alternative for restoring stomach health in a gentle and lasting manner.

Gastritis
Gastritis is defined as inflammation of the mucosal protective lining of the stomach. It develops when the gastric lining becomes thin or damaged and it comes in contact with hydrochloric acid secreted by the stomach.

@eros-starfairy-kid I'll address your reply vis-à-vis Coca Cola and peptic ulcer disease here because it was formatted in a way that is unconducive to reblogging.
[Coca Cola can be used to clean rust]
I know this and if you read my original reply you might notice that I did not say that this isn't the case. However, hydrochloric acid, which stomach acid mostly consists of, can also do that. As I said in my orignal reply gastric acid (ph = ~2) is more acidic than Coca Cola (pH = 3). The gastric lining has evolved to be able to resist acidity. Stomach ulcers occur when the mucosal lining is damaged somehow allowing the acid to come into direct contact with the stomach wall. I will address this below.
#also my nana on my mom's side has been to the hospital a handful of times cause she has a cola addiction and has had it since highschool #she had to go cold turkey from it once or twice in 2019 and 2021 cause her doctors told her she BARELY had any stomach lining left COLA LITERALLY DESTROYS YOUR STOMACH LINING. I've eavesdropped on the phone calls my mom has gotten from my nana #i literally cannot make this up.
Most people do not develop gastric ulcers no matter what their diet consists of. Your grandmother either has a genetic propensity for gastric ulcer disease or there is some other causative agent.
In any case, it is absolutely certain that the acidity of Coca Cola is not a causative agent for peptic ulcers. Rubinstein et al. showed that Coca Cola decreases gastric potential difference (a proxy measurement for the integrity of the gastric mucosa) somewhat but less than does red wine. Stomach pH was unchanged after ingesting red wine, ethanol or coke. Your rust removal argument is invalid, but we knew that before.
Maybe learn about these things from the medical literature instead of eavesdropping on your family members.

To the north Indian 1200 Calories Diet plan Program For Weight loss A straightforward And Successful Extra weight lessening
Experts from your School of Nottingham have found that drinking coffee can stimulate 'brown fat', the body's own extra fat-combating safeguarding, which could possibly be the reply to taking on being overweight way too as diabetes mellitus. In the event you want to eliminate fat, you should use-up far more energy than you eat. Carly's Cinderella Solution A 20-pound body fat eliminating in a single four weeks is far less probably for small women, who generally eat less as well as burn up under two,500 unhealthy calories every single day. Randomised controlled trial offers (the precious metal standard of medical study) show that ADF doesn't trigger far more unwanted fat decrease or improvements in health and wellness unlike standard diet when calorie intake is the exact same in both groupings.

Numerous celebrities, like Beyonce and Jimmy Kimmel, are rumored to make use of intermittent fasting to decrease bodyweight. Longer-word research has shown that calorie consumption on "fasting" days and nights creeps up around time, which regularly lowers the calories deficit attained and decreases the pace of bodyweight-loss. Carly Donovan's Cinderella Solution Review Many hunter gatherers have a diet plan substantial in carbohydrates, although some have got a diet plan almost solely of unwanted fat furthermore to health proteins (such because the Inuit). Additionally on the predicted body weight lessening and advancement in obesity-relevant comorbidities just right after gastric get around surgical procedure, they observed that this affect of surgical treatment is not tied to fecal communities; mucosal communities are modified as well. Largely North Native indian diet consists of no-vegetarian goods in addition to higher-extra fat articles food items, which typically consists of thicker yummy gravies, parathas, unique curries, cottage type cheese, tandoors & spices. Maybe, considering each one specific of the goofy noise simply being manufactured about unhealthy calories, that final bit bears practicing yet another time: … participants' energy consumption was altered periodically…†In a variety of other words, even during this research looking explicitly around the metabolic unwanted side effects of carbs, when it was time to induce excess fat decrease, or make certain it was actually taken care of, they turned into energy equally periods. Any diet regime that contains less than 45Per cent of unhealthy calories from carbohydrate food could technically be looked at lower-carb, even so most widely used lower-carb diet plans have no over 25Per cent of calorie consumption from carbohydrates (125 grams on a daily basis having a two,000-caloric diet program) ( 1 ). Overview: Bigger grownups with some excess fat to shed may possibly decline 20 lbs in two months. These personality modifications lessen the chance of occasional fasting finally leading to weight-damage.

Do you experience stomach discomfort such as burning, gnawing or nausea after consuming a single alcohol drink? Is it noticable sometimes and not others? Does it affect time spent with your partner or family? This discomfort may be due to an inflammation of the stomach lining that is attributed to alcohol and may be worsened with stress or the use of some medications (aspirin or ibuprofen). When the mucosal lining of the stomach begins to erode (gastritis) it becomes sensitive to the digestive juices produced in the stomach (gastric juices) when food or drink are consumed contributing to the discomfort. Individuals with chronic gastritis have also been shown to have significantly lower levels of ascorbic acid (reduced from Vitamin C) in the gastric juices. One study suggests that gastric mucosal inflammation is present in most, if not all, adults with a history of chronic drinking (2019). Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant which helps to prevent the formation of carcinogens such as N-nitroso compounds in the stomach by reacting with nitrites to convert them to noncarcinogenic nitrous oxide. It has also been shown on reduce the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species (aka free radicals) helping to heal and protect the mucosa (2013). Vitamin C reduces harmful bacteria (H. pylori) known to contribute to gastritis (2003) a bacteria common among chronic drinkers. The lower levels of ascorbic acid identified in individuals with gastritis may be the result of increased utilization by inflamed tissue, it's utilization by harmful bacteria, it's reduced diffusion through damaged mucosa or by lower intake of Vitamin C rich foods (1989). Because citrus fruits and vegetables which are typically good sources of Vitamin C are often slightly acidic (sour) and may seemingly irritate a damaged stomach lining, obtaining Vitamin C from other fruits and vegetables may be ideal. Lightly steamed cauliflower is an excellent source of Vitamin C containing more than 70% of the daily recommended intake. This cauliflower was particularly 'sweet' as it was photographed, and the entire dinner prepared by my 13 year old.

Anthocyanin from Purple Potato Extract, Your Healthy Assistant!
Purple potato is also known as black potato, and its tuber flesh has a purple to dark purple color. In addition to the nutrients of ordinary potatoes, it is also rich in selenium and anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have a preventive and therapeutic effect on more than 100 diseases, and are known as the seventh most important nutrient after water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Anthocyanins are the most direct, effective and safe free radical scavengers found in the scientific community to prevent diseases and maintain human health. The ability to scavenge free radicals is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E. Purple potato is one of the main raw materials for anthocyanins. In recent years, purple potato has been very popular in the international and domestic markets, and its development prospects are very broad.
Purple Potato Powder
Purple potato can be processed into powder after peeling, drying and crushing. Being rich in nutrients, it is an excellent food processing raw material and can be used as the main ingredient of various kinds of cakes. Purple potato powder has abundant anthocyanins, dietary fiber, and also the highest selenium content among the food. It is believed that purple potato is not only nutritious, but also has many unique effects such as kidney-reinforcing, anti-aging, health care, disease prevention and treatment effect. Purple potato powder presents a fresh purple color after rehydration, and has a strong taste of baked potato. It is especially good for the eyes of people who have long faced the computer. Purple potato has a certain health care function from young stem to tuber, which is a preferred organic food with pollution-free and green benefits.
Nutritional Value of Purple Potato
Purple potato is announced rank first among the anti-cancer vegetable lists. It not only has the nutrient composition of ordinary sweet potato, but also has special health care functions. Purple potato is rich in nutrients such as proteins, starch, pectin, celluloses, amino acids, vitamins and various minerals, where the proteins and amino acids can be easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The vitamin A could enhance eyesight and skin mucosal epithelial cells and vitamin C allows the common synthesis of collagen protein and prevents scurvy. The content of lysine, copper, manganese, potassium and zinc is 3-8 times higher than that of ordinary sweet potato. Meanwhile, the content of anticancer iodine and selenium is 20 times higher than other sweet potatoes. Purple sweet potato is also rich in iron and anthocyanins that are natural powerful free radical scavengers.
Functions of Anthocyanin in Purple Potato Extract
Anthocyanin helps prevent a variety of free radical-related diseases, including cancer, heart disease, premature aging and arthritis and reduce the incidence of heart disease and stroke by preventing stress and platelet aggregation caused by smoking. It enhances the ability of immune system to fight carcinogens. Moreover, it could reduce the occurrence of colds and shorten the duration time. By resisting mutation function, it reduces the formation probability of carcinogenic factors. It has anti-inflammatory effects and thus can prevent inflammation including arthritis and swelling. It is also able to alleviate pollinosis and other allergies and enhance arterial, meridian and capillary elasticity. By maintains the normal flexibility of blood cells, it helps red blood cells pass through tiny capillaries, thereby enhancing blood circulation throughout the body, bringing immediate benefits to organs and systems in all parts of the body, and enhancing cell viability. It could prevent high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels to promote blood circle and inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme released by the kidney. As a barrier to protect brain cells, it is capable of preventing the formation of amyloid β protein, glutamate toxicity and free radical attack, thereby preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Skin is smoothed and elasticized by its inhibition of elastase and collagenase, and skin damage due to excessive sun exposure is prevented from the inside and the outside. Anthocyanin also has anti-radiation effect. The anthocyanin color changes due to different pH values. Most anthocyanins have good light, heat and PH stability. Anthocyanins are indispensable for workers with long-term exposure to sunlight or in an electric radiation environment.
Medicinal Value of Purple Potato
Anti-cancer effect
Purple potato is rich in selenium and iron, which are essential elements for anti-fatigue, anti-aging and blood supplementation. In particular, selenium is called “anti-cancer king” and is easily absorbed by the body. It can be left in serum, repairing myocardium and enhancing immunity. It eliminates free radicals in the body, and inhibits the synthesis of DNA in cancer cells and the division and growth of cancer cells, thus preventing the occurrence of cancers such as stomach cancer and liver cancer.
