This is gross! Have you ever smelled someone that was fishy? well here is the explanation!

Living With Trimethylaminuria Or TMAU
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome, is a genetic condition that affects the production of the enzyme Flavin (FMO3).

When FMO3 is not working, the body has trouble breaking down Trimethylamine, a product of the decomposition of plant and animal matter.

Trimethylamine is ingested as part of the diet, and is the substance mainly responsible for the odor associated with fouling fish, bacterial vagina infections, and bad breath.

It is also associated with taking large doses of choline (an organic compound grouped within the vitamin B complex) and carnitine (an amino acid used by the body to digest and dispose of fat).

When trimethylamine isn’t broken down properly, it builds up and is excreted through sweat glands and the urinary tract.

People with the condition usually suffer from fishy body odors, and this can be socially debilitating.

While there are currently no known cures for the condition, the following can help to reduce symptoms:

Avoiding foods such as eggs, legumes, certain meats, fish, and foods that contain choline, nitrogen, and sulfur.
Taking low doses of antibiotics to reduce the amount of bacteria in the stomach.
Using soaps with a moderate pH, between 5.5 and 6.5.
Some people have reported that drinking extra water, going on a liver cleansing diet and using charcoal tablets can help.

At this time I haven’t found any data or test results that back this up.

Soap and Ph Levels

Because human skin has a ph level of 5.5, it’s recommended that soaps and cleansers be as close as possible to that level.

Soap contains lye, which is an alkaline substance, and too much of it can damage your skin.

Litmus paper can give the exact ph level of soap.

Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer
It is hard to believe that he is 55 years old! The years fly by, i am not a fan of Swayze at all after having to watch Dirty Dancing 500 times with my wife. Too Bad.

Patrick Swayze, the Hollywood actor and star of such films as Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a spokesman has confirmed.

But contrary to reports, the 55-year-old is not "terminally ill" with just weeks to live.

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is currently undergoing treatment," Annett Wolf, Swayze's publicist, said in a statement.

"Patrick's physician Dr George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic'.

The statement continued: "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

The comments followed earlier reports in the National Enquirer and New York Post that the actor had been diagnosed with the disease more than a month ago.

advertisementThe National Enquirer claimed that the cancer had spread to other organs and that Swayze had lost a dramatic amount of weight and had only five weeks to live.

The tabloid also reported that the actor had been travelling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer centre in Palo Alto, near San Francisco, for radical chemotherapy. Dr Fisher is based at the Stanford Cancer Centre.

In early February the New York Post reported that Swayze had recently undergone a "serious gastro-intestinal procedure" at Stanford.

Swayze's mother, dancer and choreographer Patsy Swayze, echoed the doctor's optimism. "I don't really want to talk about it, but I know he's sick," she told E! Entertainment News. "But he has great doctors and a great prognosis, and that's all I can say."

Texas-born Swayze, who is married to the actress Lisa Niemi, is best known for his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle in the 1987 hit film Dirty Dancing in which he starred opposite Jennifer Grey.

The actor went on to appear alongside Demi Moore in the 1990 romance Ghost, again a massive box office hit that was nominated for an Oscar for best picture.

Pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest of all cancers, is the formation of malignant cancer cells and tumors in the tissues of the pancreas. The average life expectancy for the disease is six to nine months, with only four percent of patients living more than five years.
