How do you thicken a thin stretched ear lobe?
Depends how big your ears are stretched at dude, but if you take out your plugs/tunnels every night and rub vitamin e oil / biooil/ jojoba oil on it this allows the ear to relax and the blood to flow freely. They'l thicken up after a while of doing this. Another way to thicken them up is to downsize and restretch, downsize and restretch and so on. By doing this your allowing the molecules (i forget the scientific name of them =P) in your ear to heal and by downsizing and restretching you are eventually going to increase the number of said molecules eventually resulting in a thick ear. Its a long process but its better than having a snapped / torn stretched ear ! (:
Why can polycythemia potentially cause a heart problem?
It is more likely that a heart problem will cause polycythemia than the other way around.But because polycythemia causes your blood to thicken and slows blood flow, it increases your risk of developing blood clots. If a blood clot occurs in your head, it can cause a stroke. If they reach the coronary arteries that feed the heart muscle, a heart attack will be the result.
Why does salt cause heart problems?
Because it does! It's one of the many medical 'sacred cows' that must not be questioned. Studies have shown that people suffering from hypertension (which is linked to heart problems) can reduce their blood pressure by reducing their salt (sodium) intake. Other studies have suggested that raising the potassium intake to balance that of the sodium has the same beneficial effect. Other studies have suggested that salt intake has no effect on people with normal blood pressure. The 'carved in stone' dogma is that too much salt raises blood pressure, although no-one has come up with an answer as to HOW it does.
