Sleep Paralysis is Not a Spiritual attack!

Remember having a frightening experience of being unable to speak or move when falling asleep or waking up and even having a feeling there is someone there? It is Medical!

Pliz Retweet to help someone

#RuralDoctors Who does it affect?
It affects people of all ages especially teenagers and young adults.

Many have 1 or 2 episodes in a lifetime (which makes it easy for one to suspect his village people 😂) but it could be more regular in others.

Skin lightening/bleaching is an addiction! Once started, you will have to continue to maintain or improve the skin colour.

#10yearschallenge inspired this tweet. Do retweet to stop someone from becoming a "coat of many colours" or from death.

The more melanin one has, the darker the skin. Most of the lightening creams contain substances that inhibit the production of melanine in dark skin hence the new skin colour. So for it to continue inhibiting melanin, you must apply daily.
