Hello, Elena. My daughter is 15 years old, she has scoliosis of the 1st degree, and besides, she already has a hump, what should I do? I beat her, I scold her, she still does not straighten up, make strong physical exercises, not an option, she has chronic arthritis, she is very thin, weight 37, height 163. Not a child, but a punishment.

Valeria, 33 years old

Hello Valeria.
Don't you understand that it makes no sense to force a thin girl with practically no muscles! to force straighten the back and, moreover, it is useless to force her to constantly keep her back straight! Think for yourself, mommy, ... how the child will straighten her back if the girl does not have strong muscles with a weight of 37 kg! …that's the weight of almost all of the bones. By the way, a hump cannot be with scoliosis of the 1st degree, which means that the girl's scoliosis is far from the 1st degree .... this is already a scoliosis of the 2nd-3rd degree. Maybe the girl is stooping due to muscle weakness, but it seems to you that she already has a hump on her back.

You amaze me, turn on your head, finally, Valeria! Why do you scold and demand to straighten your back .... Is the child simply unable to do this due to skeletal muscle weakness and lack of basic training? Yes, and beat the child for it? You do not understand that you are causing her psychological trauma, lowering her self-esteem and forming complexes that will prevent her from living the rest of her life! Tell me, if you are forced to lift a hundred kilogram barbell .... can you lift it? No, of course not, but if you train with pleasure daily and purposefully, then I assure you, as a specialist, after 1-2 years of regular training you will be able to push this weight!

ANYONE CAN DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN MUSCLE STRENGTH AND HAVE A HEALTHY SPINE THANKS TO SMART AND REGULAR EXERCISE! Muscles become strong only when they work, namely, when they tense up, contract ... and mother nature did not come up with another way to become strong ... medicines and passive treatment, and even more so from your inactivity, the muscles will not become strong, and your daughter’s spine and joints won't be healthy...

But, your daughter does not need barbells, exercise equipment and dumbbells .... she just needs regular therapeutic exercises with simple exercises LAYING, on the full unloading of the spine, she needs purposeful work with her own body, her spine needs a muscular corset that will straighten the spine and be AUTOMATICALLY ITSELF hold and protect the baby's spine. You yourself should have taken care of your child's spine, starting from the first grade, as the child sat at the desk for long hours, and you realized it only now, when the child already has scoliosis and the hump on his back is growing !!

Taking care of the health of the spine and raising a child HEALTHY is the direct RESPONSIBILITY of PARENTS. I want to tell you with confidence that your child already has chronic arthritis - this disease does not appear from scratch ... .. any joint begins to collapse and hurt if, again, it is not surrounded by strong muscles, elastic ligaments, and if it is not preserved his mobility. Articular cartilage receives nutrition only when movements occur in the joint. You need to do physical therapy.

You, Valeria, apparently never engaged in the physical development of your daughter, so she is thin, weak and sickly. Your girl is already big enough, and she needs to clearly explain and convince her that the health of the spine and the entire musculoskeletal system depends on her own efforts and perseverance in training her own body! Otherwise, an unenviable future awaits her .... in constant suffering from pain in her back and joints .... and you can even end up in a wheelchair if she does not begin to regularly practice correct and safe exercises of therapeutic exercises every day.

I released all the medical complexes you need many years ago, if you took care of the child’s spine in a timely manner, then your child would not have scoliosis, humpback, or chronic arthritis AT ALL!

I advise you not to waste precious time and order the following medical complexes on my website:
- this is the main complex for the entire spine, perform 3 times a week,
- strengthens the cervical thoracic, perform 2 times a week,
- strengthens the lumbar spine and leg joints, perform 2 times a week

All three recommended complexes are A complex approach to the improvement of the entire spine and joints.
After all, the integrity of the spinal cord and spinal nerves, which innervate the internal organs, depends on the integrity of the bone structure. I advise you to seriously take care of the health of the child, I offered you a scheme for a year of daily training. After that, leave 3-4 duty workouts per week to maintain the tone of the formed muscle corset.

Do not run your daughter's spine and joints to irreversible processes! I will be out soon new complex““, you can purchase it later, but you need to start with the programs I recommended.
Valeria, I ask you not to be offended by my harshness and categoricalness, I am upset by the negligent attitude of parents towards the health of their children. Some parents will dig up the entire Internet, try all the ways and, finally, find my professionally selected complexes, and are very grateful (read

Das kleine bucklige Mädchen.1871

There once lived a woman. She had an only daughter, very small, pale, and, perhaps, not like other children. Therefore, when a woman went for a walk with her, people stopped, looked after them and said something to each other. But when a little girl asked her mother why people looked at her so strangely, she always answered: “Because you are wearing a wonderful new dress.” And the little girl was pleased with this answer. And when they came home, the mother took her daughter in her arms, kissed her again and again, saying: “You are my sweet sweet angel! What will happen to you when I'm gone? No one knows what a sweet angel you are! Even your father!"

After some time, the mother suddenly fell ill and died on the ninth day. The father of a little girl in despair rushed to her deathbed, wishing that he would be buried with his wife. Friends persuaded and consoled him as best they could. He obeyed them, and a year later he married another woman, more beautiful, younger and richer than the first. That's just the same kind heart she didn't have . And the little girl, ever since her mother died, sat all the time from morning to evening on the windowsill in the room, because there was no one who would go for a walk with her. She became even paler and Last year didn't grow up at all.

And when a new mother appeared in the house, the girl thought: “Now I will go outside again! We will go outside the city, to a beautiful meadow, flooded with sun, where such lovely flowers grow and where so many smart people walk. The fact is that she lived in a small narrow alley, where the sun rarely looked, and from the windowsill only a small patch of blue sky, the size of a handkerchief, was visible. The new mother left the house every day, morning and afternoon. Each time she wore a beautiful colored dress, much more beautiful than her old mother had. But she never took the little girl with her.

Finally, one day, the girl gathered her courage and timidly asked the woman to take her for a walk. But the new mother flatly refused her, saying: “You are crazy! What will people think when they see me with you? You are a hunchback. Humpbacked children never walk, they always sit at home.

Then the little girl became quiet, and when the new mother left the house, she climbed onto a chair and examined herself in the mirror. Indeed, she was hunchbacked, very humpbacked. Then she sat down again on her windowsill and looked down into the street.

She began to think about her kind old mother, with whom she went for a walk every day. Then she thought again of her hump. What is inside, she asked herself. “There must be something in such a big hump!”

... Summer passed, and when winter came, the little girl became even paler and even weaker. She no longer had the strength to sit on the windowsill. Now she was constantly in bed. And when the first green sprouts of snowdrops appeared from the ground, her former kind mother came to her one night and told her how dazzlingly magnificent the blue skies were. The next morning the little girl lay dead in her bed.

“Don't cry, husband,” said the new mother. “That’s better for the poor child.” And her husband did not object to her, only silently nodded his head.

... And when the girl was buried, an angel with large swan wings flew from heaven, sat down at her grave and softly knocked on her, as if on a door. And a little girl came out of the grave, and the angel said that he had come for her to take her to heaven to her mother.

Then the girl shyly asked him, how can humpbacked children go to heaven? She can't imagine it, because it's so beautiful in heaven. However, the angel answered her: “You are a sweet, nice child, you no longer have any hump,” and then touched her back with his snow-white hand. And now - the old disgusting hump fell off like a big hollow cup.

But what was inside?

Two magnificent white wings! The girl spread her new wings as if she had always been able to fly. And flew with the angel in a stream of dazzling sunlight up to blue sky, higher and higher. And there, at the very top, in the sky, her former kind mother sat and held out her hands to meet her.



This story is not made by me. I remember her from childhood.
But, unfortunately, I do not know its origin. R.L.

They were born under a lucky star. Was it so fate, or did they long and stubbornly go to their world fame, but the fact remains: they are rich and famous, and also ... ugly, as hell knows what! Photos of the scariest, ugliest celebrities.

1. Michael Jackson

And who did you expect to see in our list under the first number? Michael Jackson could have become a successful performer and earned worldwide fame by remaining a black singer, but he himself decided to destroy both his face and his reputation. He began to look like an albino, acquiring facial features that were completely unusual for him, for example, the shape of a nose, which is absolutely not characteristic of representatives of the black race. He showed us all what can happen when a person is too critical of his appearance, bestowed upon him by mother nature ... As a result, Michael Jackson turned out to be something between an alien and an albino.

2. Marilyn Manson

Gee... What the hell did this guy do? An unnaturally whitened face, different-colored eyes (one is his own, the other is covered with a pale blue lens) and blood-red lips make him look like a ghost ...

Marilyn Manson is simply ugly, you can't say otherwise, and, the strangest thing, he chose this appearance himself. Moreover, he not only disfigures himself, but also awakens disgust in everyone who looks at him.

3. Jocelyn Wildenstein

It's just a nightmare! Here's What Happens When You're Obsessed plastic surgery. rich socialite from Switzerland, Jocelyn became famous precisely because of her ugliness. For extreme appearance journalists nicknamed her "the bride of Wildenstein" (by analogy with the bride of Frankenstein), and this nickname stuck to her like a burdock.

According to rumors, Wildenstein allegedly already spent on plastic surgery in the US about $4,000,000, with all expenses paid by her husband, world-famous art billionaire Alec Wildenstein.

4. Michael Berryman

No, do not think, this is not makeup for a new role. The Los Angeles-born actor suffers from an inherited condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. This rare disease that affects the sweat glands, hair, nails and teeth determined his creative role - Michael is removed mainly in horror films and science fiction projects. He has a rich filmography, which includes such tapes as “Oh, this science”, “Alf”, “Invitation to Hell”. He also starred in such legendary films as The Devil's Rejects, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Berryman usually gets the role of mutants, monsters, monstrous villains and other horror-inducing characters. The actor starred in one of the episodes of the series " Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files.

5. DJ Qualls

And again before us is a man who, against his will, acquired a really strange appearance. Qualls rescheduled oncological disease lymphogranulomatosis or Hodgkin's disease, which he contracted at the age of 14. He was able to defeat a fatal illness: after two years of numerous surgeries (including the removal of the spleen), chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Qualls entered a remission stage, during which he acquired such a peculiar appearance: the young man is distinguished by excessive thinness. In 1997, he entered the University of Nashville. And then (oh, happy fate!), At one of the performances of the city theater, he was noticed by the famous photographer David LaChapelle and began to invite him to his photo shoots. Qualls began modeling for Prada and Calvin Klein. After he was able to become famous as an actor, starring in the film "Road Adventure".

6. Marty Feldman

And here is another tragic case. Marty Feldman (1934-1982) - English writer, comedian and BAFTA winner, known worldwide for his bulging eyes, the result of hyperactivity thyroid gland. He wrote scripts for 25 films and TV series, and acting fame came to him after performing leading role in the TV series Marty. He starred in the films The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, and also took part as a guest in one of the episodes of the legendary Muppet Show - One Thousand and One Nights.

7. Clint Howard

This time we are not talking about any illness - just this artist himself does not have a very pleasant appearance. But it is she who is the reason for his incredible popularity. The 1959-born actor has starred in films such as Backdraft, Apollo 13, Knockdown, and TV series Star Trek and Arrested Development. In 1998, Howard was awarded the MTV Award. He was married twice, and he took this step only in order to prove to everyone that appearance does not matter in his personal life.

8. Shane McGowan

This Irish musician, a member of The Pogues, became famous throughout the world as a talented author and performer of his own songs. He is recognized as one of the most significant and poetic Irish composers and musicians of the last 30 years. Great find for our top! He actually looks awful, just awful...

9. Lyle Lovett

Surely Lyle Lovett has incriminating materials on half of humanity. Otherwise, how was he allowed to leave hell and get to our sinful earth? And the fact that Julia Roberts married this monster, makes us think that she, too, was a victim of his blackmail ... or fell under some kind of charm we do not understand.

Find at least something attractive in this person, and if you find it, share it with us - let's laugh together.

10. Kelis

Holy God... Yes, Kelis is not one of those girls who all the boys in the yard run after. When you look at her, a doubt creeps in, is she a woman or an alien from outer space? It sounds a little strange, but if you look at her photo, you can see that her mouth is constantly open, as if she is preparing to swallow you.

Brr, it's unpleasant, of course ... And every time, looking at her next picture, you involuntarily start looking for the Adam's apple.

11. Iggy Pop

Rock singer, composer and actor, he is also called godfather(sometimes the "grandfather") of punk rock. Iggy Pop was the vocalist for The Stooges, a leading grunge and rock band in the late 60s and early 70s that influenced the emerging heavy metal and punk rock genres. Live concerts of The Stooges were notorious, because during his performances Iggy jumped off the stage into the crowd, mutilated himself with a broken bottle, smeared peanut butter on his naked torso and insulted the audience. So, not being naturally handsome, he managed to disfigure himself even more at his own whim.

12. Steven Tyler

This guy looks like a real zombie. He is a famous and very talented singer, a tough guy, the father of one of the coolest girls in Hollywood, he had so many women and money that anyone would envy ... and he is also scary as a nightmare ...

13. Courtney Love

Drugs have never made anyone attractive. And this woman became an example of what an ugly and sexless creature a rather nice girl can turn into as a result of drug use.

14. Donatella Versace

Oh, how quickly the years fly by... Yes, she is talented, famous and rich, but, my God, how ugly she is!

15. Amy Winehouse

Another drug victim is an English singer-songwriter, soul, jazz and R&B performer. On her body there were many tattoos depicting naked women. When asked about this, she admitted that in this regard she likes girls more.

"Basically, I'm more of a man than a woman, even though I'm not a lesbian." Amy always said that when she leaves the stage, she will open a beauty salon and live out her life making people beautiful and happy ... Unfortunately, she did not succeed in doing this, she passed away at the age of 27 years.

16. Ronaldinho

One of the best football players of our time, Ronaldinho, can easily be called the funniest, most honest, most likeable, but at the same time ... and the ugliest world-class athlete. This famous Brazilian is not really trying to embellish his image, for him this is done by his fees of truly cosmic proportions.

17. Kelly Osbourne

Who doesn't know Kelly, the daughter of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne? Americans are very touched by her British accent, besides, everyone recognizes that she has a pronounced personality, but, frankly, Kelly Osbourne's appearance leaves much to be desired. And it's not at all that the girl is fat, no, in recent times she managed to lose a lot of weight, then gain a little again, then lose it again ... Come on, let's be honest, weight fluctuations have nothing to do with it! It cannot radically change a person if he is not naturally very attractive, which is why Kelly made our list!

18. Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling owes her career entirely to her father, media mogul Aaron Spelling, otherwise, with her appearance, the girl would never have been able to break into the screen. For some reason, you always want to hope that yes, daddy pushed through, but then she will prove with her talent that it was not in vain that she was given such strong patronage. But... all hopes are in vain, and (thanks to dad Aaron!) every time you see Tori on TV, for some reason you want to change the channel.

Terrible, but it does not give the opportunity to see, what if she actually became a real star? Alas, it doesn't get better with age...

19. Rosie O'Donnell

Rosie O'Donnell is a real hooligan, and it's not a bad thing that we got her on our list. It is ugly, but simple and understandable to everyone.

20. Rachel Dratch

Don't get us wrong, we love Rachel. Her sketches are very witty and she really great actress. But, unfortunately, her ugly appearance gives her every right to take the last place on our list.

Thank you for your attention!

Are you unhappy with your appearance? Just look at these people, and you will instantly forget about some non-existent flaws in your own body. Today we will talk about those who modern society called freaks.

1. Ulas family

In the province of Hatay, in Turkey, the Ulas family lives. Of its 19 members, five brothers and sisters move around on all fours. Scientists have come to the conclusion that they all suffer from a disability rare species. They cannot master upright posture simply because they lack balance and stability. Interestingly, scientists still cannot give an exact explanation of why this happens. Professor Nicholas Humphrey notes that this is a prime example of a strange violation human development. Moreover, some scientists believe that the problem of the family is proof that people can devolve, while others are of the opinion that the poor fellows suffer from some kind of hereditary disease, for example, Yuner Tan syndrome or cerebellar hypoplasia.

2. The Aceves family


This Mexican family is also called the hairiest in the world. All of its members suffer from a rare disease - congenital hypertrichosis. People with this genetic mutation have an extra piece of DNA that affects neighboring genes responsible for hair growth. This pathology is manifested in the fact that not only the whole body, but also the face becomes hairy. In the Aceves family, about 30 people - both women and men - suffer from this disease. It is difficult to imagine how much bullying from society fell on the fate of these unfortunate people ...

3. Jose Mestre


The face of this poor fellow from Portugal was “swallowed” by a tumor, the weight of which reached 5 kg. Moreover, he lived with her for 40 years. It all started when Mestre was born with a vascular malformation, also called a hemangioma. It grew uncontrollably until the age of 14. These tumors tend to increase during puberty and distort all facial features. A simple meal cost José bleeding on his tongue and gums. The tumor literally engulfed his face and completely destroyed his left eye. To date, the man has undergone a number of operations. While his face looks like it's covered in burns. But, despite this, Jose is beside himself with happiness that he finally got rid of the unfortunate tumor.

4. Unknown with a horn

Often we joke about the fact that someone has grown horns there, but we don’t even realize that there are people in the world who actually grew them. It turns out that the cutaneous horn is a rare disease formed from horny cells. To date, the exact cause of the formation of a skin horn has not been named. Provoke the development of such a process can be both internal (endocrine pathology, tumors, viral infection), and external (ultraviolet, trauma) factors. Fortunately, this can be removed with the help of surgery.

5. Bree Walker


An American TV presenter from Los Angeles lives with a congenital defect called ectrodactyly ("pincer hand"). The defect consists in the underdevelopment of one or more fingers on the hands or feet.

He is the one who managed to turn his rare disease and unusual physique into a special effect, into something that will bring him fame and financial independence. Being 2 m tall and weighing just over 50 kg, the Spanish actor Javier got a lot of alien, horror roles. As early as 6 years old, Botet was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a rare genetic pathology that is accompanied by elongation of the fingers and limbs, as well as high growth, combined with extreme thinness.

7. Petero Byakatonda


This boy comes from an African village in Uganda. He suffers from a genetic disease - Cruson's syndrome, which leads to abnormal fusion of the bones of the skull and face. In Cruson syndrome, the bones of the skull and face fuse too early, and the skull is then forced to grow in the direction of the remaining open sutures. This leads to an abnormal shape of the head, face and teeth. Usually this disease is treated within a few months after birth, but the 13-year-old baby lived in isolation and it is still a miracle that he survived. He is currently undergoing treatment. The main operations have already been done, thanks to which the guy's head has a shape familiar to all people.


9. Harry Eastlack


During his lifetime, this man was nicknamed "the stone man." He suffered from fibrodysplasia ossificans, a very rare disease characterized by the transformation of connective tissue into bones. Eastleck died at the age of more than forty, before that he bequeathed his skeleton to the Mutter Museum of Medical History (Philadelphia, USA).


In 2013, at the age of 62, Paul Carason, known to the whole world as the "blue man" or "Papa Smurf", died of a heart attack. And the cause of his rare disease was ... ordinary self-medication. The American at home tried to fight dermatitis, which he treated for about 10 years with the help of colloidal silver. After 1999, drugs based on it were banned in the United States. It turns out that when taking silver inside, there is a high probability of occurrence of argyrosis, a disease characterized by irreversible skin pigmentation. Blue skin prevented Carason from living, and he moved from state to state (he had to leave his native California in large part because of the curious looks that were thrown at him locals and tourists), was looking for doctors and understanding, went to various talk shows, talked about himself, smoked a lot.

11. Dede Kosvara


"Tree Man", Indonesian Dede Koswara suffered from a rare disease - his immune system was not able to fight the growth of warts. His arms and legs resembled the roots of trees, and all as a result of a mutated papilloma virus, which science could not cope with. This virus is not contagious, but Dede's wife left Dede, taking the children, passers-by turned away. Despite the fact that at first the doctors cut off the growths on his body, over time they reappeared. As a result, in 2016, alone and with heartache, at the age of 42, Dede Kosvara left this world.

12. Didier Montalvo


And this baby was previously called a turtle. Fortunately, in 2012, doctors saved a 6-year-old boy from a terrible shell that occupied 45% of his body. A Colombian child suffered from a rare form of congenital disease called melanocytic virus. Fortunately, the doctors removed the tumor in time, and it did not have time to become malignant.


Tessa suffers from aplasia - the congenital absence of any part of the body or organ, in this case- nose. In addition to aplasia, the girl suffers from heart and eye problems. At 11 weeks old, she underwent cataract surgery in her left eye, but complications left her completely blind in one eye. To date, the baby is preparing for a series of nose prosthetics operations, although it is already known in advance that she will still not be able to smell smells.

14. Dean Andrews


In appearance, this Briton can be given at least 50 years old, but in fact the unfortunate man is only 20. He suffers from progeria. This is one of the rarest genetic defects, which results in premature aging of the body. By the way, the world-famous American motivational speaker Sam Burns, who died at the age of 17, had this disease. Unfortunately, on this moment there is no effective treatment diseases and patients affected by it die very quickly.

15. Unknown woman with Treacher Collins syndrome


As a result of this disease, patients have a craniofacial deformity. As a result, strabismus occurs, the size of the mouth, chin and ears changes. Patients have trouble swallowing. Hearing loss is not uncommon. In some cases, these defects can be corrected with plastic surgery.

16. Declan Hayton


Declan lives with his parents in Lancaster, UK. This baby has been diagnosed with Moebius Syndrome. Until now, science has not been able to fully understand the causes of the development of the disease, and, unfortunately, the possibilities of its treatment are limited. In people with such a rare congenital anomaly, facial expressions are absent, which is explained by facial paralysis.


This man has pituitary dwarfism, in other words, dwarfism. His height is only 80 cm. But this did not prevent him from being realized in life, from revealing his creative potential. Today, Vern acts in films, and he is also a famous stand-up comedian and stuntman.

The Elephant Man was the name given to this man who lived in Victorian England. He lived only 27 years. Due to the deformed body, Merrick could not get a job. In addition, he had to run away from home for the reason that he was constantly humiliated by his stepmother. Soon, Joseph got a job at a local circus to participate in a freak show (freak show). For his 27 years, this young man managed so much... So, he was a gifted person. He wrote poetry, read a lot, visited theaters, collected a collection of wild flowers. With only his left hand, he collected models of cathedrals from paper, one of which is still kept in the Royal London Museum. He was taken under the care of the surgeon Frederick Reeves, thanks to whom Joseph received a room at the Royal London Hospital. In his memoirs, Dr. Reeves wrote:

“When I met this guy, I thought he was weak-minded from birth, but later I realized that he was aware of the tragedy own life. Not only that, he is smart, very sensitive and has a romantic imagination.”

Joseph Merrick suffered from a genetic disease called Proteus Syndrome, which causes unusual growth of the head, skin, and bones. On April 11, 1890, Joseph went to bed with his head on a pillow (because of the growths on his back, he always slept sitting up).
