Listed below are some of the most common perceptions regarding hemorrhoids facts and more importantly, for those of us that worry, hemorrhoids fiction.

• Hemorrhoids turn into cancer.

Fiction: Hemorrhoids and cancer cells are completely different as cancerous cells are mutations of their former selves and not a swollen vein which is essentially what hemorrhoids are. Breathe a sigh of relief.

• Hemorrhoids are contagious.

Fiction: You cannot contract hemorrhoids through any form of contact with a sufferer. It is a complaint and not a disease, so don’t be afraid to be tactile with a sufferer, though just be careful where.

• Only men, pregnant women and the elderly get hemorrhoids.

Fiction: Any gender can get hemorrhoids at any time of life, though most will pass unnoticed. Pregnant women are more susceptible as they have extra pressure being applied to the lower abdomen and also may suffer constipation. The elderly are more likely to develop hemorrhoids as with age can come tissue weakness which increases the risk, though does not guarantee that every elderly person will suffer.

• Spending too long on the toilet can give you hemorrhoids.

Fact: This is true as the body automatically opens to pass waste product when sitting on the toilet. If a person sits for an extended period of time, the body will naturally continue to try to pass waste which prolongs the pressure to the cushion vein and can cause the tissue to weaken. Try not to treat your toilet as a library or puzzle room.

• Sitting on a cold surface will give you hemorrhoids.

Fiction: If a sufferer with external hemorrhoids sits on a cold surface this will not help as it will cause the swollen veins to contract increasing the discomfort. For all non sufferers, please be seated.

• Spicy foods will give you hemorrhoids.

Fiction: Eating spicy foods, including the myth of black pepper which seems to be quite prevalent, will not give you hemorrhoids. What may happen is that you could get an upset stomach which builds more pressure on the bowel, and/or diarrhea which will only go to irritate your hemorrhoids further. Eat curry at your own peril if you suffer.

• Overweight people are more likely to get hemorrhoids.

Fact: As with pregnancy, the carrying of extra weight on the abdominal area will add pressure which will result in an increase in the risk of developing hemorrhoids.

These are the most common hemorrhoids myths with the absence of one particular one of a more sexual nature, which I will place below. So for those of you who would prefer not to read on, please don’t.

• Anal intercourse will give you hemorrhoids.

Fiction: The act of anal intercourse, providing it is done correctly, will not give you hemorrhoids. A sufferer will certainly feel an increased sensation, pleasurable or not. Please, if you do practice this, take extra care and please perform this act correctly. I shall say no more.

I hope this article has answered some of your questions and brought some relief to those of us that worry too much and listen to other people’s pearls of wisdom.

Best regards

I heard that it’s like Ossm (oklahoma school of science and math) That it’s a boarding school and It’s being built in Oklahoma city right now! If you say it’s fact or fiction, could you please give me some links and info? Im an excellent vocalist and it would be nice if it’s true, thanks to all who answer!

It very well could be real, but for now it’s the latest heart-pounding fiction book, Sledgehammer, about a terrorist who arrives in the ER with smallpox symptoms. An ER physician suspects it but has just six days to convince hospital executives and the U.S. Government before an epidemic breaks out.

The story is brought vividly to life by Dr. Paulo J. Reyes who obtained his MD at the UCSF School of Medicine, has 25 years in medicine and internal medicine and is a First Responder for the busiest cities in California specifically in terrorists training.

In Sledgehammer, the lead character, Max Kroose, an intuitive emergency room physician, believes terrorists are to blame for the attack and fears the more lethal form of smallpox, called Sledgehammer, will kill within days. As time progresses, the terrorists planned attacks at a sports arena, mall and airport must be stopped. The question becomes can this ER doctor convince the hospital administration and the public health care system about the presence of this deadly disease and the need to vaccinate the American public. You won’t be able to stop reading as you seek to find out the truth in this non-stop thriller.

How big a threat is smallpox? “The Federal Government should allow voluntary smallpox vaccinations to protect us from smallpox bioterrorist attacks,” says Dr. Reyes. “At the very least the Federal Government should allow voluntary vaccinations of the first responders which should include all hospital medical staff. The President and the military have been vaccinated. Why shouldn’t the American public?”

Dr. Reyes also authored Health-Care Reform or Redistribution of Cost? and in his research of the health care system, he has seen its shortcomings. Realizing there is clear and present danger of a terrorist attack in the health care system has prompted him to support voluntary smallpox vaccinations.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) considers smallpox as a possible danger and includes it as one of the possible agents of a bioterrorist attack, in its website under the subheading Emergency Preparedness and Response along with anthrax, plague, and tularemia.

Reyes believes the Federal Government should consider a trial program to detect the presence of the virus – similar to a pregnancy test – so if the disease presents itself, it will be detected before it becomes an epidemic or pandemic.

The American public is immuno-naïve to smallpox, which means it could spread very rapidly, Reyes says. And containment could be even more difficult or impossible if the virus was aerosolized, which the CDC believes may be the case, he says.

With new terrorist attacks continually happening in the United States and the fear of a global pandemic, Sledgehammer is a gripping book to get a real insight into what could possibly lie ahead unless immediate action is taken.

This is something going around on the internet, stating it was removed because the Muslim population say the Holocaust never happened.

Some would say that there is no fiction because much of what was once fiction has become fact. Causation does not lie in the in the external world of things and facts. The substance and reality of life begins in the spirit and the imaginations of man. What we are within and who we think we are is who we become. If we’re not happy with life, we can change it. 

John McKenzie said, “The distinction between what is real and what is imaginary is not one that can be finally maintained……all existing things are, in an intelligable sense, imaginary.” II Cor. 4:18 says that those things which seem real aren’t and only the unseen is real. How is one to work with such concepts?

What is cause and what causes cause? Can we know?

The One who created ALL is the first cause but if one believes, as most Christians do, in theism, then who is here doing all the creating? Can it be that humanhood co-creates with the Creator? And if so, then just how much responsibility do we have in that format? Do we have to ask for approval to create a thing?

If so, just how do we ask?

These are questions that are seldom asked and when we do, the answers are usually religiously based in some superstitous formula that seldom works in real life, if at all. Man is free to imagine anything and everything but that doesn’t mean fruit will grow on the tree.

We have been created in the IMAGE of God, in the image of the Creator so doesn’t it follow that imagination is a spiritual sensation? While we are co-creators that can bring that which IS NOT into a physical manifestation that IS, in the end we must rely upon GRACE to do the final birthing. The manner, way, and timing must come through GRACE!

But, to leave it ALL to God and grace is to shirk our responsibility to turn fiction into fact.

What are you birthing?
