We keep hearing about health disadvantages. We hear a lot less about reasons. Self-inflicted? Fate?
Here are some questions:
Do we live in ideal conditions?
How would our health be under ideal conditions?
What are ideal conditions for Rh negative people?
You can revisit our study here.
On the population level, a Rhesus-negativity-associated burden could be compensated for, for example, by the heterozygote advantage, but for Rhesus negative subjects this burden represents a serious problem.
Are we the victims or simply not paying enough attention?
What matters the most is that we follow our intuition rather than whatever the general population appears to get away with health-wise.
You decide!:
many of us (RhD negatives) may be more sensitive to many things than the other RhD types (the 3 types are: PP, PN, NN, .. ie positive/positive, positive/negative, negative/negative…homologous, heterologous, homologous). regarding air-conditioners: i’m very sensitive to any black mold that may develop inside the entire internal fan area. along with the dehumidifier used in the basement; i take the 2 AC’s (largely completely apart) and clean them with the product Windex and re-assemble them and check their function before putting them into use each year/season. people should also check the filters on these ACs when in use as well (i clean & dry these well before seasonal use also).
my health is actually much better than people my age. i have aged much better than others too (in many ways) and i’m as strong as i was at any earlier point in my life. i am going on 57 yrs. genetics is a the major factor (RhD is genetic obviously), but the environment (and all that this entails: people, food, climate, habits …everything besides one’s genes/complete biological organism) i think makes/can make a huge difference in the quality & length of one’s life. i’m convinced that anyone that’s part of a minority (especially a largely unacknowledged one like RHD negs are) within groups w/ more members/actual biological members (like genes combinations: RhDpos/pos & RhDpos/neg) will have a more difficult time in general living & existing w/in the majority defined groups/grouping…as is the case right now w/ RhD negs in the overall human population. as i have become more eccentric throughout my entire life (largely since birth & realizing that many were against this/my self-fulfillment – by doing things that benefit & suit me best as a unique individual regardless of so called external norms) i have become healthier in general and overall…especially regarding stress. finding and maintaining a good female relationship is what i still seek. as long as i am able to interact w/ others to some satisfying degree, then my mental health remains fine/good as well. so called “making money” is not my thing/it’s not what got me to where i am now. it’s not because i’m not able to do it/earn it in may ways, it’s because i’m way too different to work w/in this systems and be satisfied much at all. i know differences make a difference. i recommend focusing on one’s self, knowing one’s self as well as possible and then acting on this knowledge to lead/live the most satisfying life possible. i do this as well as i can.
