Bluekapon:
The baby is just a kid with a very high IQ.
And in my opinion, the OP's Old Souls are simply geniuses...
they are sensitive kids who internalize their environment. Thats why the parents have to make the extra effort to help them socialize in an age appropriate manner.

The only thing possible here is that the story is fake grin grin
True.

Too much detail, plus all the myriads of labs etc.

Focus should be on managing the child's crises, not endless lab testing for genotype.

MistadeRegal:
Pay attention to my story.
I am the third child but the first son. My sisters look exactly like my mum and dad respectively. My younger brothers look like my parents also respectively while I am different. My dad never treat me different from others and whenever he's scolding me, he always say, "I am your father and I won't watch you ruin!" Years later, I recalled as I grow taller, my grandmother(dad's mum) came visiting. And when it's morning, I went to greet her our native way. She pulled me up and began our lineage pedigree, I didn't look up at her and then she raised my head up and gave me the first shock!...She called my dad sharply and said to him with her eyes wide open, "This is the exact figure of your father!"
Since then, she always call me her husband.

Now, two years ago, my uncle(dad's elder brother) died. We all went to his home town. Dad took I and my uncle's son to greet some elders. We went round and came to the chief's(Baale) house where we all were assembled and he started eulogising us for the dead. This was where I got abother shock. I have never met this old man ever before but to my surprise, as many as we are there with him, while he was still speaking, I looked up, he paused and pointed at me saying same words, "Of all those here, ONLY YOU took after the beauty of your grandfather!" Everyone turned and stared at me! Some of my cousins whispered, "A je pe grandpa fine gan niyen o!"(That means grandpa is very handsome!) Then he(Baale) continued hus words....

Now what am I trying to tell your friend, if DNA proves he is the father of that girl, she could have taken after any of his grannies. He should never doubt his innocent wife and paint her a colour she never deserves.
Can you explain what you are trying to say? huh

In Africa, Heart Disease And Its Risk Factors Are Expanding


Many types of heart disease as well as some of its associated risk factors, which are traditionally only associated with high-income countries, are increasing in incidence in African people. This is worsening the threat to these populations and only deepening the challenges governments and doctors must face in these areas. These conclusions were published in an article in The Lancet released on March 14, 2008.

The epidemic of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in developed countries has been well documented, from its causes to its consequences. In low-income and middle-income countries, where malnourishment and infectious disease are also common, there are few data to describe CVD's effects.

To explore this, the Heart of Soweto Study was performed by Professor Simon Stewart, Cardiovascular Research Unit, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Baker Heart Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues. The study focused on the clinical range of disorders related to CVD in patients presenting for the first time to a cardiology unit in Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in one year. Data was recorded for 4,162 patients with confirmed CVD, 1,593 of whom were newly diagnosed and 2,569 of whom were previously diagnosed and under treatment. Additionally, they established a registry for newly diagnosed patients with relevant data.

Upon examination it was found that, of the newly diagnosed study population, 85% (1,359) were black Africans and 59% (939) were women. In the same population, women had an average age of 53 years, while men were older with a mean of 55 years. Approximately 25% of the patients were younger than 40 years old.

The most common primary diagnosis was heart failure, and this was present in 44% of the patients. Compared to the rest of the population, black Africans were 46% more likely to be diagnosed with heart failure, but only 10% as likely to be diagnosed with coronary artery disease. In general, the presence of CVD risk factors was very high: 56% of the patients had hypertension or high blood pressure; 44% of the patients with hypertension were obese. 59% (933) newly diagnosed patients showed several risk factors, while only 8% (209) of this population showed no identifiable risk factors.

This study, according to the authors, will have important implications on actions taken to prevent and treat heart disease, not just in Soweto, but also for other urban communities in Africa that are presently experiencing similar epidemiological changes in their disease profiles. Presently, a broad range of advanced conditions are included in the spectrum of Soweto's heart disease. This includes the infectious diseases usually expected in African populations, such as rheumatic valvular diseases, cardiomyopathies, tuberculosis linked pericardial effusion and diseases exacerbated by HIV incidence. However, also included are newer non-communicable diseases that are associated with advanced clinical presentation, which usually are reported in high-income countries, such as hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease.

The authors point out in particular their concern that the patients most likely to be obese in both this hospital and in the general community were black African women, and that this group represents a greater proportion of the whole than black African men. "[This] is especially noteworthy in view of the typical male dominance seen in cohorts from developed countries. "They conclude, highlighting the final implications of their new data: "The combination of common preventable risk factors and late clinical presentations - especially heart failure - represents a particular challenge to improve primary and secondary prevention strategies to not only reduce the number of new cases of cardiovascular disease but also improve health outcomes for those with pre-established disease."

Dr Harvey White, Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand, and Dr Anthony Dalby, Milpark Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa, contributed an accompanying Comment in which they point out the importance of this study along with some challenges. They say: "The major challenge is how to increase health resources. A recurring theme in Africa is the lack of reliable statistics. This registry, from one of the largest urban populations of black Africans, goes a long way to correcting that deficit in Soweto."

Heart Health Awareness Lags For Black Women, Study Says: 5 Ways To Close The Gap


African-American women are 1.6 times more likely than non-Hispanic whites to have high blood pressure, putting them ahead of the pack when it comes to heart disease risk. But a new study in the American Heart Association journal, Circulation, shows that the same group is lagging behind when it comes to knowing what the risk factors for heart disease are.

"There's good news and bad news. The rate of awareness of heart disease as a leading threat, the leading cause of death for women, has doubled in the last 15 years for both white women and black women," said Lori Mosca, M.D., the lead author of the study. "Unfortunately, there's still a minority gap in awareness. Black women are at the level of awareness in 2012 -- 30 percent -- as white women were in 1997."

Mosca's research, conducted between August and October 2012, included online and telephone surveys with more than 1,200 women ages 25 and older. Mosca and her team then compared results from surveys taken in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009 assessing women's lifestyle, awareness of the leading cause of death and warning signs of a heart attack, and what they would do if they experienced heart attack symptoms.

"We're improving the level of awareness for everybody equally overall, but since black women started at half the level to begin with, I'm concerned that we need more sustained and more targeted efforts to African-American women," Mosca said.

Mosca said the African-American women involved in her study expressed a greater level of trust in their doctors when compared to white women, and that factor could be used to help increase awareness about heart health. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of taking preventive action.

Here are eight ways to get a jump on those preventive measures today:
