I’m a second generation (Afro)Caribbean American who’s lurking/creeping around 😅. But I’ve noticed that the histories of (West African) Black and (Ashkenazi) Jewish people alike are discussed in extensive detail in American history classes. I personally didn’t even know who Jewish people were when I was a teen (I clearly didn’t pay attention in APUSH) and I feel like I’m less immersed in American politics in general — but now that I’ve grown I wanted to know what you think about the relationship between Black and Jewish people in the United States and other Western countries.

“Allied” is often a strong and whimsical term — there are surely antisemitic blacks as there are racist Jews. Do you think the relationship between blacks and jews has trended in a positive direction in the past century (or post Civil Rights)? This seems somewhat important to talk about, as Black and Jewish people are both minorities in most Western countries (though blacks do have a large majority on a global scale) and we are both subjected to -extreme- racial hatred in many countries (from the use of Slurs, hate crimes, etc). Also wondering if you can cite examples in our communities as well?

I have hurley stage III and bad scars on my face. Serrapeptase 80,000spu (sounds intimidating but the units are very small) has flattened these scars immensely. (Use 120,000 if you want to ramp it up, be mindful of bleeding)

It eats away at old scar tissue. One of the few oral supplements that does this.

Please invest. I’ve tried 50 other supplements (and this is probably a generous estimate lol)

Also, drainage flows out easier.

If you think HS can’t affect your face, or that you’re “safe” — be careful! Because that was me around 2 years ago. And now, I can’t even look at myself in the mirror without losing my mind.

The government rejected my (24M) disability application. A questionable doctor said that my surgery would be too high risk and might recur (has he heard of radiation therapy?). To put things into perspective, the scar is gross and near my nose. You can’t look at me without seeing the scar. I cover it with scar tape patches to give me any sort of reconciliation that I’m still a human being to other people.

I haven’t had sex in years. I haven’t had friends in 5 years. Gone to a party in 5 years.

I’m on a high dose GLP-1 and Bimzelx.

I lost 60 pounds. No longer overweight.

Not only is this disease meant to kill you internally (from inflammation). It’ll kill you through the lack of socialization, the psychological weight of going out in public.

…..Is that it can MIMICK other terrible skin diseases.

I have HS on my face and it looks an awful lot like herpes. This is literally worse than anything I could imagine. I have to use bandaids on a daily basis so people don’t get the wrong idea.

Not to mention how easily you can mistake HS for SKIN CANCER.

I also had dark spots on my arm during the monkeypox epidemic. My primary doctor recoiled in fear.

This might be the WORST DISEASE EVER.

It’s clear that my (24M) triggers are certain foods but theres no specific one. I can eat a cookie with the same flour, sugar content, dairy from one place and one with the same ingredients from another and the latter would give me a massive lump under my arm.

I tried low fat, vegetarian, keto, vegan, elimination. However, the only real cure for me is to not eat anything at all. I water fasted for 5 straight days and had no pain (besides hunger ofc), and no flare ups. Nothing. This is the complete antithesis to what you should be doing as a human to stay alive. It seems as if my body wants to end itself.

This has to be the most complex disease I’ve ever heard of. The cure can’t come any sooner.
