Hares Ear

Was Jesus a short, fat, bald, jug-eared, bow-legged, cross-eyed, buck-toothed, hare lipped, hook-nosed,...?

masochistic, repressed homosexual, delusional, religious fanatic?
Of course there are no descriptions of him from his contemporaries but this is how I like to think of him
Please note that no offense is intended by this question, it is offered in good faith

funny pet question. No one really knows what he looked like for sure. He was a descendant of desert dwelling people. What we see today as Jesus was made up by the irish in the dark ages.

Overcome Infertility - Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) is defined as a condition caused by inflammation or infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as a result of scars and adhesion in the pelvic region, which in turn prevent the implantation of egg during natural pregnancy process. It affects over 1 million women in U.S. every month and most of them are in their teen and twenties and over 100,000 women become infertile in the US alone each year. In traditional Chinese medicine PID is classified as the infection of a woman reproductive system.
