Rape is murder... or worse? A true story.
 

Yesterday I met a girl online who had kidney failure. Once your kidneys fail you are fucked bad -- I won't get into it but you can't pee, your blood needs to be filtered 3 times a week, etc. etc. So this girl had a kidney transplant from her mother but the organ was rejected -- now she's on a waiting list but it will probably take 10 years to get another chance (because of her blood type) and chances are she might reject that kidney too.

So I think -- Whoa! -- this girl has massive kidney failure at the age of 16 -- something tragic must have happened to her emotionally, etc... She was physically fit at that point in her life -- healthy -- athletic. So I research it... because I know how sensitive the body is and how interconnected our organs are to our mind, spirit, etc.

Known as the 'Minister of Power', the kidney is regarded as the body's most important reservoir of essential energy. The original prenatal energy (yuan chee) which forms the basis of life is stored in the kidney organ-energy system, which is why the kidneys are also known as the 'Root of Life'. In the Chinese view, the kidney organ system also includes the adrenal glands, which consist of the adrenal medulla and the adrenal cortex. These glands sit like hats on top of the kidneys and secrete a wide range of essential hormones that regulate metabolism, excretion, immunity, sexual potency and fertility. Destruction of the adrenal cortex is fatal. The kidney system also includes what the Chinese call the 'external kidneys': the testicles in men and the ovaries in women. Thus the kidneys control sexual and reproductive functions and provide the body's prime source of sexual vitality, which the Chinese regard as a major indicator of
health and immunity.

The kidneys themselves are responsible for filtering waste metabolites from the blood and moving them onwards to the bladder for excretion in urine. Along with the large intestine, the kidneys control the balance of fluids in the body. In addition, they regulate the body's acid-alkaline balance (pH) by selectively
filtering out or retaining various minerals.

The kidneys, particularly the adrenal glands, are especially vulnerable to damage from excessive stress and sexual abuse. In the Chinese view, such damage is a major cause of immune deficiency, low vitality, and sexual impotence.

So essentially stress, fear, and sexual abuse can cause the kidneys to be damaged... So I mention this to the girl and she says -- no I was fine at that time of my life, etc. I didn't really buy it -- like Dr. Drew -- LOL --- I knew she had to have been raped or something for her kidney to fail. Two, three hours later of talking she tells me about her roofies experience... how she was raped under this drug -- and how the guy would taunt and tease her afterward in front of her new boyfriend. I could only imagine how that would feel. As a side note -- the new boyfriend eventually found out and beat that motherfucking rapist into the hospital.

I meet this girl -- and today I think to myself how the chain of events really affected me... Now 22, her life is so tragic -- a 16 y/o beautiful model at the brink of death, living with death every day -- watching her fellow patients die around her. Her future is without hope of recovery -- organs failing -- and to think all that suffering could have been caused by one rapist -- who decided to rape a 13 y/o girl. It really stuck me how horrible rape is.

Rape alone is such a aggressive sounding word. period.

Yeh, rape is such a strong word. Even when you use it in other contexts, it sounds so hollow and empty.

this world is going to hell in a handbastket, so quit sittin there on your asses, do something out of the ordinary, live your dreams, move to a beautiful tropical third world country before it's too late!

no doubt rape is a bad thing.. but it doesnt sound very realistic that it can cause the kidney to fail..

kman you are right -- this girl must live every day like her last... she never knows when her organs will totally fail. It's shit like that -- makes you realize how short life really is...

To think you could be walking down the street and then just bust a kidney -- and your life as a pimp is over...

Fuck saving for retirement!

I expect skepticism -- but there's no way for science to test/measure this aspect of humanity. But eastern medicine has been practiced successfully for thousands of years... Only within the last year or so have I been exposed to this way of thinking about the body. I'm sure there are experts in this field that could change your mind... You may even make some personal discoveries as I have.

At the most basic level think of these examples -- you're nervous -- your stomach aches. You lose a loved one -- your chest hurts... It's that simple...

Damn.
Lets just hope she gets a kidney transplant soon.
Things do happen last minute, lets hope something does.

Its even more of a shame when everyday people die and they choose not to be organ donors when people like this are in such need. This story is quite sad, and there are hundreds of others in her same situation.

Having this all casued by a rape makes it all the more worse.

No kidding. You won't need your heart when you're dead, give it to someone who does need it. Just think of all the little kids you could save.
