I'd try and make this "Ulcer" discourse very simple.
Ulcer is an English word which means wound, injury, break in continuity.
Now let's bring this to the body. Ulcer would mean a wound. Which means you can have Ulcer anywhere.
Ulcer in the eyes, Ulcer in the mouth, Ulcer in the penis, Ulcer in the vagina, Ulcer in the Armpit, Ulcer in the Buttocks, Ulcer on the Nose... Ulcer anywhere
Now let's come down again to the current convo.
Ulcer in our digestive tract. Let's focus on Stomach for now, since that's common and in light of discourse.
An average person once they have small chest pain, they assume ulcer.
If they eat beans or fried beans or pepper- they say ulcer, they lie down with a pain- ulcer
But these symptoms are all vague, there 1000 and 1 things that can present like this too.
A Cancer can, an infection can, a growth can too, some changes in the system can present like this....and ALL OF THEM ARE NOT ULCERS BUT JUST PRESENTING LIKE ULCERS .... but people assume pain------ulcer
From what I've explained you'd agree with me that if there is a wound in your stomach there is only one way to 100% confirm. Which is to see it. No one can see the wound inside the stomach and that's why the camera called ENDOSCOPY is done to go inside to see
I usually say... YOU CAN NEVER SAY YOU HAVE AN ULCER IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE AN ENDOSCOPY.
IT CAN BE SUSPECTED. IT NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED
Now imagine someone who has been having this pain for awhile, he has assumed it is an ulcer..imagine jt was a growth or cancer. He keeps taking drugs upon drugs and all while the cancer is growing .
One day he is so weak after vomiting blood..then later the hospital sees that so called Ulcer has been a Cancer all along. At this point , it is late.
So the take home, every pain is not ulcer, many things can present like an ulcer, from a cancer, growth, infections, and many more.
Don't self medicate, go to a hospital to get assessed and treated.
I'd be glad to take comments and questions
Do share too 😉
This is what endoscopy looks like.

DID YOU KNOW?
1. American milk is illegal in Europe. Too many chemicals.
2. US bread is considered cake in Europe. Too much sugar.
3. American eggs are illegal in UK. They wash off the natural protection.
4. US meat is banned in 160 countries. Because of hormones.
5. American apples are coated with wax that is also used for cars.
6. In the US, 60% of food contains stuff banned in other countries.
Dear @PeterObi
In the spirit of that transparency, let's walk through your own record.
2010: You hired Acces International, a firm in Monaco whose entire business is helping wealthy people hide who really owns what. Secrecy, sold as a service.
Acces brought in Alcogal, a law firm in Panama. Their job is to supply fake directors and shell companies in countries that refuse to share ownership records with outsiders.
Then you built a five-step process to add extra walls.
Step one: on November 17, 2010, a company called Gabriella Investments Limited was set up in the British Virgin Islands, named after your daughter. You chose the British Virgin Islands specifically because it does not hand over company ownership records to foreign governments.
Step two: that same day, 50,000 shares of Gabriella Investments were handed to another company, Hill International Holding Corporation, based in Belize. Belize is a small Central American country, also known for refusing most outside requests for ownership information.
Step three: two people were installed as directors, Antony Janse Van Vuuren and Lance Lawson. These are not your business partners. They are strangers paid to let their names appear on public paperwork instead of yours, so anyone searching for the real owner finds them, not you.
Step four: In 2017, the whole structure was renamed PMGG Investments, and a new entity was created, The Gabriella Settlement, a trust also registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Step five: a company called Granite Trust, based in New Zealand, was made the trustee in charge of that trust. Trusts registered in New Zealand are specifically known for making it almost impossible to trace who actually controls the money inside them.
Five separate steps, in five different countries, each one chosen because it does not cooperate with the one before it.
That is not how a person manages an investment. That is how a person makes an investment impossible to find.
Alongside all this, you stayed on as a director of Next International (UK) Limited, a company in the United Kingdom, for 14 months after you became governor, before resigning "on phone," with no paperwork.
You held foreign bank accounts while governor, which Nigerian law does not allow public officers to do.
None of it was ever declared to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
We would not know any of this if not for a leak.
You didn't declare it.
A leak in 2021 that happened to catch you, along with 35 other world leaders, in a dataset you never chose to make public yourself.
No proxies, no surrogates, no walls.
Your own words.
Fellow Nigerians,
When we began this journey of reform in 2023, I promised that the difficult decisions we were making would serve the purpose of building an economy that works better for you and a country that is stronger for our children.
Today, your government presents The Reforms Scorecard. It sets out what our reforms have achieved, what they have cost us, and the greater costs and harms we have prevented by acting when we did.
I have therefore directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele @taiwoyedele, to give an account to Nigerians, to explain the numbers, the choices we have made, the progress recorded, and the work that remains.
You deserve to see the numbers. You deserve to know what has changed and what these reforms mean for you, your family, your business and our country.
This is your government.
This is your country.
This is our account to you.

Human trials are underway for a drug that regrows human teeth in just 4 days.
Scientists are initiating human trials for a groundbreaking drug designed to regrow teeth naturally, potentially rendering dentures and implants obsolete.
For decades, permanent tooth loss has been considered an irreversible part of aging or injury, leaving millions reliant on synthetic implants and dentures. However, researchers at Kyoto University are now challenging this biological limitation by launching human trials for a drug that triggers natural tooth regrowth. The treatment works by inhibiting a protein called USAG-1, which normally suppresses the maturation of "extra" tooth buds. By blocking this biological brake, scientists have successfully grown new, fully functional teeth in animal models, effectively tapping into a latent "third dentition" that humans carry in a suppressed state.
The project is being advanced by the startup Toregem BioPharma, with an initial clinical focus on individuals with congenital tooth agenesis—a condition where adult teeth never form. These patients are ideal candidates because their dormant tooth buds are already present but inactive, waiting for the correct biological signal to mature. While the drug requires precise timing and developmental context to work effectively, its success could signal a massive paradigm shift in restorative medicine. Moving beyond porcelain and titanium, the future of dentistry may lie in the body’s own inherent ability to regenerate its natural anatomy.

The re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the just-concluded Osun election is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our country under the All Progressives Congress administration.
I called Governor Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him.
I wish him great success as he prepares to lead the state for the next four years. Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election.
I salute the courage and discipline displayed by other contestants in the election. Their participation deepened and enriched our country’s democratic culture. The outcome of the election reflects the will of the people and is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our land.
I must also commend the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies for conducting a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.
May our democracy continue to thrive and be strengthened
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu

🚨 THIS GUY JUST EXPOSED MCDONALD’S — PEOPLE FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THE CEO LOOKED TERRIFIED
A man has been documenting McDonald’s burgers for over a year and the results are hard to ignore.
His 515-day-old cheeseburger still looks almost the same. The receipt he kept with it fell apart faster than the burger itself. A 119-day-old Quarter Pounder is so hard he says he’ll need a crowbar to pull it apart. Even a 25-day-old McChicken shows almost no real decay on the patty.
He finally tried to take a bite of a 100-day-old burger on camera. It was so rock hard he could only get the bun. He spit it out and called it disgusting.
People are now connecting it to the moment the McDonald’s CEO forced himself to eat one of their burgers on camera and looked visibly uncomfortable.
What exactly are they putting in this food that refuses to rot… and why did the CEO look so scared to eat his own product?
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
Out of the THREE Off-season elections conducted recently, Opposition Parties(APGA and ACCORD) won TWO(Anambra and Osun) and APC won only Ekiti. Yet, the Internet Political Parties (NDC and ADC) and their Cardinal said APC has turned Nigeria to a One Party State.

🧠 الفتاة التي عاشت بلا مخيخ!
دخلت فتاة تبلغ من العمر 24 عامًا إلى المستشفى بسبب نوبات متكررة من الدوار والغثيان.
وأثناء أخذ التاريخ المرضي، قالت شيئًا أثار دهشة الأطباء:
منذ طفولتها كان المشي صعبًا…
لم تستطع الوقوف بمفردها حتى سن الرابعة، ولم تبدأ الكلام إلا في سن السادسة، ولم تمشِ بشكل مستقل حتى سن السابعة.
ومع ذلك كبرت… تعلمت… وأصبحت قادرة على ممارسة حياتها والتواصل مع الآخرين.
قرر الأطباء إجراء تصوير للدماغ.
وهنا جاءت الصدمة. 😳
🔴 المخيخ لم يكن موجودًا!
المكان الذي يُفترض أن يشغله المخيخ كان مملوءًا بالسائل الدماغي الشوكي، في حالة نادرة للغاية تُعرف بـ الغياب الكامل للمخيخ (Complete cerebellar agenesis).
والأغرب أن المخيخ يحتوي على أكثر من نصف الخلايا العصبية في الدماغ تقريبًا، وله دور محوري في التوازن والتنسيق الحركي والتعلم الحركي.
فكيف استطاع دماغها أن يتكيف طوال هذه السنوات؟ 🤯
هذه الحالة مثال مذهل على قدرة الدماغ البشري على المرونة العصبية وإعادة تنظيم وظائفه عندما يحدث الخلل منذ مراحل مبكرة جدًا من الحياة.
🧠 أحيانًا لا تكون المفاجأة فيما يستطيع الدماغ فعله…
بل فيما يستطيع الاستغناء عنه والتكيف معه.
