Have you seen seen the man living without a heart? Is is possible to live without a heart? Well read the news article below.

A gentleman named Craig Lewis, a 55-year-old experiencing a life threatening heart disease, named “amyloidosis”, was admitted to the Texas Heart Institute.

Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.

Luckily, Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier from the Institute came up with what they call a “continuous flow” device which would let blood to circulate through his body without a pulse.

They detached Mr Lewis’ heart and then connected the device -the patient was up, well and speaking with doctors in the same day.

The device is formed by intricately tying together two ventricular assist devices, replacing the entire heart, It whirls instead of pulses, spinning blood through the body in a continuous flow.

Dr. Cohn is a expert surgeon, as well as an discoverer and scientist who has consumed a large part of his life developing technologies to substitute or repair the human heart. The most distinguished device being what is called the Left Ventricular Assist Device, also termed as LVADs.
Cohn teamed up with Dr. Bud Frazier to make a new discovery that uses the technology from LVADs to duplicate the functions of the heart’s right and left ventricles. They (inappropriately) tried their device on 70 calves, all of whom gave a flat line on an EKG, no heart rate or pulse, yet they were flawlessly normal, ate normally and related with each other normally but again, had no heartbeat.

The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body. Common diseases that affect the heart are myocardial infarction, endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart diseases, atherosclerosis, myomas, cancers, hemochromatosis, coronary artery diseases and so on.

All thanks to the doctors, man correcting god's mistakes since 200bc

with words without knowledge?

I will question you,
and you shall answer me.

It this guy was living in Nigeria I would have recommended fasting and prayers to repair or replace the heart!! Or go for deliverance in one of the mega churches.
The white man is wonderful, unlike his counterpart in the black race.

He'd keep moving from one church to the other where they'd drain almost all the money he has. by the time the money is almost depleted and he's probably entered massive debts combined with rapidly declining health he'd then turn to science but by that time it'd be too late and he'd die. then at his funeral you'd hear meaningless and useless sentences like "We love you but god loved you more"

i am not on the side of religion and myth.
the truth is that the world needs morals but appealing only to human conscience in order to do what is right is dead on arrival.
that is why religion was invented to enhance social order even when the religious leaders take a political decision to kill their political enemies they gave their conquest a religious name such as CRUSADE or JIHAD.both are HOLY WARS.
meaning WARS that is HOLY.
i will rather have RELIGION in the hands of fools than have SCIENCE in the hands of fools.
get my point.
science will even demystify religion in the long run.
that is why religion fight against science.
then in egypt,science is masked under religious cloak but only the few have access to its knowledge and practice.
the world is drifting into destruction with science in the hands of fools such as america and russia and north korea.

Welcome. Where is ziggylady and tossie101? It's long i saw them here last.

They are the two die hard female bigots i know on this forum, but now you again. I can understand a male bigot, but a female bigot?

Seems you guys are fed with lots of hate while growing up going by the number of female bigots on this forum.

I've always thought bigotry was a thing of the males, until i began to saw lots of females like you.

May you all find peace with God.


I have been around..just watching from the side-lines and still has no love for yorubas..

Cheers.

Lol, alright. Love you.

It's been long i was active on NL last too. I only read updates offline so i won't be tempted to post or start any jobless argument with anyone. I gat to do something tangible with my life. Social media, posting and all related stuffs waste time a lot.

Hope you've been good all the while.
Cheers.

Lol. It's vice versa. Your brothers too are sharp mouthed, talented in bringing out fault in people. You know you Igbos are very forward, daring and courageous which is good quality, but the same quality affect them to be forward in dissing people first. No one is a saint. That's on a lighter note though.
It's a defualt human trait. Wherever humans are, especially blacks, there will always be reasons to fight, hate, and be disunited. From the continent level till we have one family against another, one man against another. That's life.
People will always fight and hate, some of your friends will hate you for having good stature, some will hate you for looking beautiful, some will hate you for making it more than them.
So, from individual level, to family, institution/place of work, town, community, ethnic, tribe, region, country, continent, race, world level, humans will always have reasons to hate and fight. Only love can heal the world.

Hope you've been good my friend wink?

Alright my friend, I agree with whatever you say smiley. The most important thing in life is, love has no tribe, evil has no tribe. Wherever you may find yourself, whoever shares love and humanity with you, same is your blood, family, tribe and friend.

Although some good or bad traits may be perculiar to some tribe or group of people because of background, religion and other factors. But yet, whoever is out to hurt you regardless of tribe is your enemy, and whoever is out for your good regardless of tribe is your friend.

Humanity and love is the only tribe in life.

May it be well with you my friend.
