Hi girls, I also wrote on the other thread about nzu. Ever wondered why it is only girls that crave for it? It is often a sign of anaemia. We often get anaemic without knowing it. I prayed to stop, added fasting and it didn't work. I only found out what was wrong when I got a quality blood boosting drug and after one week I lost the crave and threw the ones in my bag away. The drug finished and I relaxed on pampering myself soon after and the crave returned big time. I then became sure what was wrong. Do not let your good looks deceive you, go for blood tests and see a good doctor, that's the way to go on this. 3 Likes |

Re: White Chalk Addicts-Please your comments by Jenifa1: 7:32am On Jan 24, 2011 |
I'm not an addict but the "addiction" is probably the biological/cultural mechanism for combating mineral deficiency. so yeah there are health benefits to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophagy#Current_practice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolin
But just after my heavy period, i long 4 nzu. Iron deficiency or anemia. Try to eat more green vegetables and fruits like bananas. Meats are also rich in iron. but don't over do the meats of course. lol yup. women and especially pregnant women. |
