Anogenital warts managed with electrocautery. There are a number of management approaches available, ask your healthcare provider to work-out what's best for you. However, prevention is still better than cure. *Photos taken and posted with permission*

Happy birthday husbando

Haidilao/Hi dilaw 😆

5 months later and yeah… happier 🥹. This journey’s been over a year now, def not easy lol. Gym, discipline, and a little medical help along the way. Appreciate docs @guillderm and @AdrianMDPhD + coach Jon for all the help 😘😘😘😘 (dm them lol, it works 👀)

Protein goals secured!

Celebrating one year of consistent workouts with my trainer 💪🏻 Salamat coach 🥹

😫

Gym, lamon, clinic 🔁

Gengar in the rain.👻⛈️

Work out, then zone out.😵‍💫

Morning 🏃🏝️

Embracing the calm of today, and the possibilities of tomorrow.

UV index: high. Productivity: low

Kimchi has been found to fine-tune immunity at the cellular level. In a groundbreaking human clinical trial, researchers employed cutting-edge single-cell genetic analysis to explore kimchi's impact on the immune system. Over 12 weeks, overweight adults received either a placebo or powder from two varieties of kimchi. The findings show that kimchi not only enhances immune defenses but also promotes their regulation. Scientists from the World Institute of Kimchi observed that participants consuming kimchi exhibited heightened activity in antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which play a key role in identifying pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Simultaneously, CD4+ T cells developed a more balanced profile, incorporating both effector cells for fighting threats and regulatory cells to prevent overreactions. This dual effect equips the immune system to mount effective responses while avoiding harmful inflammation. The trial utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), a precise technique that examines gene expression in individual immune cells, uncovering nuanced changes undetectable by standard blood tests. Fermentation method influenced outcomes: both spontaneous and starter-culture kimchi yielded benefits, but the starter version demonstrated superior effects, including enhanced antigen detection and reduced extraneous immune signaling. This represents the world's first clinical demonstration of kimchi's immunomodulatory action at the genetic level, highlighting its promise for managing hyperactive immune conditions.
