i bruise easily, i know bruises have to heal themselves but is there anything i can do to make them go away?
im an athlete, a rower, and i bruise like a banana. i know bruises heal themselves but i was wondering if there was anything i could do to help them go away faster, like eat something different or take pills. i know i have to be more careful with my body but being a rower and trying to be mark free is simply impossible. any ideas?
try taking vitamin C. It helps bruising.

Assuming we are talking about an ordinary bruise, and you don’t have ANY clotting disorder or other medical problems going on:
Take extra Vitamin C, and B Complex for a few days (stay within healthy doses!). Apply warm moist heat pack or pads and take aspirin 2-3 x a day to help disperse the hematoma under the skin faster so it will fade. Don’t use the heat for more than 15-20 mins. every 4 hours or so 4 x a day. If it is on a leg, elevate the leg while you have the heat pad on it. Soaking in a warm bath will also do the same thing. Also, if it is in the legs or arms, using those muscles more (walking is good as is lifting things with the arms) will help to disperse the hematoma and get it to filter out into the other tissues faster.
Just do not do the exercise if the bruise is NEW or if it is getting larger, or if when you do the exercises with arms or legs it hurts more than MILDLY. You don’t want to re-injure the vessels and tissues. Let Mother Nature do the rest.

you can get some lotion and massage the spot. it helps the blood disperse faster and making it less prominent.

Ice them if you think it will bruise, also increase your intake of red meats, usually medium-rare or rarely done.

Take more iron when you aren’t taking in calcium such as milk. Calcium inhibits your ability to absorb iron. Also for bruises you already have, apply comfrey leaves that are wrapped in a hot moist towel. This will stop bruises from getting worse and lessen the bruises you have. Don’t apply comfrey leaves directly to skin as the little hairs on the plant can be irritating to skin.

Henry weds Ann and soon she gives him a child. The girl, Elizabeth, is a bitter disappointment to Henry, who desperately wants an heir. Anne promises Henry a son “next time,” but Henry is doubtful.

Cristians, please explain?
Why do these books contradict themselves in the bible? Note: this is the death and ressurection part alone. there are many more.
MT 28:1 The first visitors to the tomb were Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (two).
MK 16:1 Both of the above plus Salome (three).
LK 23:55 - 24:1, 24:10 Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and "other women" (at least five).
JN 20:1 Mary Magdalene only (one).
MT 28:1 It was toward dawn when they arrived.
MK 16:2 It was after sunrise.
LK 24:1 It was at early dawn.
JN 20:1 It was still dark
MT 28:9 On his first appearance to them, Jesus lets Mary Magdalene and the other Mary hold him by his feet.
JN 20:17 On his first appearance to Mary, Jesus forbids her to touch him since he has not yet ascended to the Father.
JN 20:27 A week later, although he has not yet ascended to the Father, Jesus tells Thomas to touch him.
during the crucifixion… the drink..
MT 27:48, LK 23:36, JN 19:29 Jesus was offered vinegar to drink.
MK 15:23 It was wine and myrrh, and he did not drink it.
JN 19:29-30 Whatever it was, he did drink it.
First day God makes light… night and day
Fourth day he makes the sun…(which makes alternations of night and day)
You should ask this question of the writers not the readers.

Bring up one point at a time and I will gladly provide an answer. God bless you.
When reading the Bible, unless you know who is doing the talking, who is listening, where they are at, what the political climate was and what Godly Covenant(set of rules)that they were under at the time you will ask these questions into perpetuity. Through almost 2,000 years of trying the skeptics have yet to find a contradiction in the bible. Yet there are countless thousands of ‘perceived’ errors that can be easily found or dreamed up. Most all are born out of simple misconceptions, confusing Covenants, not understanding the context of who is talking to whom and why and such.
Yet there are some pretty good questions that the learned atheist can ask that are legitimate. Most all of these can be answered by a Biblically savvy Christian while some require a Christian theologian to answer.
What is left are a handful of unprovable issues that the theologians cannot fully address. Yet, at the same time the burden of proof is on the Skeptic. The atheist makes assumptions and holds them up as fact and then requires the Christian offer up an answer that the skeptic would accept according to the self serving rules and definitions that the skeptic establishes.
The absence of a satisfactory answer from the Christian doesn’t equate to the Bible being in error. It can be assumed that a book written by 40 different authors over a 1,500 year period with different languages, sayings, idioms, traditions and contexts that there would be some unresolved issues 2,000 years after it was written. The onus of proof lies with the one casting the accusation. To date not a single perceived contradiction in the Bible has been proven out.
1 Corinthians 1
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles(non Jews),

The bible is fictitious (fiction).

Maybe god is an atheist and likes to mess with christians.

ok these are not the most important parts of what happened. most ignore stuff and hang on to what ever suits them so don’t worry to much about it

Don’t forget that Matthew and Luke contradict each other on the matter of Jesus’s genealogy. They match up from Abraham to David with only one discrepancy, then they go off in entirely different directions and never converge again until Joseph. They can’t even agree on who Joseph’s dad was.

Great question!
Christians don’t want to answer this question; they know how contradictory their scripture is.
Sohyb09 | Jan 08, 2010
The contradiction comes because they are all different people’s accounts of the same story. Most Christians will tell you that these details are insignificant.
