Meet a mother and her son who were born without arms

Mother and son having dinner using their feet to hold cutlery

A 35-year-old Linda Bannon was born with no arms – the result of the rare hereditary condition Holt-Oram syndrome, which affects bone growth and can cause heart problems. The same disease was inherited by Linda’s son Timmy who also uses his feet in place of his hands.




Despite all the difficulties the mother-of-one do all the household work including cooking, washing up, making the bed and many more. The brave woman also has taught herself to eat using cutlery, put on make-up and even sew using her feet.

At the age of 24 Linda met her future husband who was amazed by her independence

At the age of 24 Linda met her future husband who was amazed by her independence and was very supportive when she got pregnant. Even when the couple found out that their son would have the same problems as his mother they had no doubts that their baby would be able to live a normal life.


Timmy can swim, regularly takes taekwondo classes and plays video games like any boy his age

As soon as Timmy was old enough, Mrs Bannon began to teach him everything she had learned. Now Timmy is a normal boy who lives up to the hilt, he can swim, regularly takes taekwondo classes and plays video games like any boy his age.



Linda says, “Timmy is just like any other little boy. He does his homework, plays Lego and tidies his room, all using his feet. He gets frustrated by things like fastening buttons, but he’s very positive and I’m so proud of him.”



Mrs Bannon now plans to become a motivational speaker, to help others facing similar disabilities. She said: “I want to raise awareness about my disability and show you can live a full life. There’s no reason why Timmy can’t have a wife and family. As long as he’s happy that’s all that matters.”

Men's Corner: How to Make Your P***s Larger Without Taking Pills

The penis is a male organ that functions as a part of the reproductive and urinary systems. As a young man reaches puberty, the penis and testicles grow larger, and he begins to grow pubic hair. The size and shape of a penis varies between men. The size also varies between its flaccid and erect states. Although many men vary in size while flaccid, the difference in size is less in the erect state, according to the TeensHealth website. The majority of men fall into a normal range for penis size. Some, however, want to enlarge the length or girth.

Step 1

Use a penis pump to maintain a larger-size penis during sexual activity. The penis pump can be helpful for a man who has undergone a prostate procedure, according to the Mayo Clinic. It can also help those who have had radiation therapy for prostate cancer. This treatment option has a low cost and does not require surgery.

Step 2

Exercise to improve the appearance of the penis. Being in good physical shape improves the appearance of the body overall and increases self-esteem. As a man feels better about himself, he may become more sexually aroused and increase the size of an erect penis.

Step 3

Lose weight to add length to the penis. Increased fat in the abdomen hangs over the pelvic region. The increased fat in the thighs also crowds the genitals. Obese men appear to have smaller penises because of the additional fat. Losing weight helps the penis appear larger, and it may gain length because the fat is not around the base of the penis.

Step 4

Trim extraneous pubic hair, which can make the penis look shorter. The decreased hair may also help increase sensitivity at the base of the penis, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Step 5

Get a reconstructive phalloplasty operation. Several types of surgical procedures can change the length or girth of the penis. To increase girth, a surgeon may place fat from another part of the body into the shaft of the penis. To increase length, the surgeon cuts the suspensory ligament, and this allows the penis to hang longer. Both procedures have risks, including infection and loss of sensation and normal function. Several medical organizations, including the American Urological Association and the Society of Plastic Surgeons do not endorse using penis surgeries for cosmetic reasons, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Foods Men Can Eat to Enhance Sexual Stamina

As many as one out of three men may be affected by premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives, according to the Mayo Clinic. The website Ask Men states that premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates too early or before the woman orgasms. Erectile dysfunction occurs when a man becomes sexually excited, but his penis does not fill with enough blood to cause an erection, or when the man cannot maintain an erection long enough to complete a sexual act. Many times men become embarrassed when they have difficulty producing and maintaining an erection, or when they ejaculate too early because sexual endurance is often seen as a measure of sexual satisfaction and enjoyment. While a regular exercise routine is beneficial for increasing sexual stamina, a healthy diet consisting of blueberries, figs, raw oysters, peanuts, garlic, bananas and chocolate can give you the boost in sexual stamina that you seek.

Blueberries

Blueberries are considered a "super sexual" food for men because they function like Viagra, according to The Singles Cafe. Blueberries are packed with compounds that help relax the blood vessels and improve circulation within the body. In addition, blueberries are loaded with fiber, which helps to push excess cholesterol out of the system before it can be absorbed and deposited into the arteries. Lower cholesterol and increased blood flow results in a surge of blood to the penis during sex, causing firmer and longer erections.

Figs

Kate McCracken, personal trainer and owner of the website Kurvaceous, states that figs are high in amino acids (the building blocks for all hormones), which can increase sexual stamina. A deficiency in amino acids can cause decreased sexual stamina and/or desire for sexual activity.

Raw Oysters

According to the website Eat, Drink Better, raw oysters contain a large amount of zinc, which is vital for testosterone, sperm, and semen production. Testosterone production affects sexual desire, vigor and sexual stamina in men. In addition, raw oysters contain dopamine. Dopamine creates a feeling of happiness, which can increase a man's desire to prolong sex. A deficiency in zinc can cause sexual dysfunction, impotency and sexual performance problems in some men.

Peanuts

Peanuts are a rich natural source of the amino acid, L-arginine, which is essential for increasing sexual stamina in men, according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, board-certified dermatologist and healthy aging expert. L-arginine relaxes the blood vessels in the penis causing more blood flow to the region, and increasing sexual stamina during sex.

Garlic

Garlic contains allicin, a compound that is thought to increase blood flow to the sexual organs. Increased blood flow to the penis causes it to stay erect longer, thereby increasing sexual stamina during sex.

Bananas

Natural News states that bananas can increase sexual stamina by increasing the male's energy level during sex. Bananas contain an enzyme called bromelain, which improves male potency, sexual stamina and increases libido. They are also a good source of B vitamins, which increase the body's energy level during sexual activity.

Chocolate

Chocolate may be beneficial in improving sexual stamina in men because it contains the endurance boosters, phenylethylamine and alkaloid. Phenylethylamine is a chemical that promotes good feelings during sex, while alkaloid's caffeine effect increases energy, thereby improving sexual stamina.

Bitter kola not a cure for Ebola: Sierra Leone Health Communication Officer

The myth that Garcinia Kola locally called ‘bitter kola’ is a cure for Ebola has been dispelled by the Health Communication Officer in the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control at the Ministry of Health.
Harold Thomas told Reporters that it has not been scientifically proved and that to date no vaccine or cure has been found for the virus.

Local newspapers reported last week that Bitter Kola had stopped the Ebola virus in test tubes in initial laboratory experiments that was done in the United States of America in the late 1990s.
The Health Communication Officer, made this clarification in a press conference organized by the Ministry at the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists conference hall in Freetown.

Thomas said there is no home remedy so far, but that there is treatment for the virus. He said the chance of survival of a suspected case is much higher at a treatment center than at home.
However, he said the effective way of preventing the virus is by washing hands with soap under running water, use of chlorine or bleach.

Thomas said one can also prevent the virus if they do not touch the body of a person who has died from the suspected Ebola; sharing sharp objects such as needles or razor blades with infected persons, avoiding direct contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, vomit, stool, semen, vaginal fluids and urine.
