A 16-year-old is suffering from a rare condition that makes her look like she's 50. Raizel Calago, from the Philippines, is 16 years old but looks middle-aged due to an undiagnosed, mystery genetic condition. Raizel told Truly: -I have a rare condition that makes me look old. I noticed my condition in 2019, I was shocked and asked myself why my face was like this. - When Raizel and her family started noticing the changes to her appearance she sought medical advice. -The doctors believe it could be progeria-, she explained. However, she is waiting for a formal diagnosis. The teenager had previously been competing in beauty pageants, but over the course of two years her body began to age rapidly and her life was turned upside down

Maybe reach out to doctor David Sinclair and read studies about glynac (glycine + nac. might be something about your cells and some dna damage. There are a lot of people working on aging and its processes and they found a lot in the past decade. One of them might be able to help you. Some supplements such as NMN (a B vitamin and NAD precursor, glynac or others may help you stop or even reverse the aging process that's happening to you. It works for elderly people, mice and other living things. I wish you find a cure. Pursue your dreams!

16! That's the age when girls will be super conscious of how they look amongst their peers and are prone to falling into depression if they don't feel like they're -accepted-. But we can see she's actively cooking which is her passion and hasn't let her condition come in the way. I used to be a blockhead sixteen yeats old who often gave up things I loved just because things didn't go the way I wanted. Her family seems carefree and loving while mine just squeezed my brain with the same -Study harder. Do better- thing.

i can't actually say that I have the same exact condition like her but most people who don't know me thinks am older than them. am 30 but looks so much older than my mom.
It's really hard to deal with, its like living in a world like am caught up with the truth knowing that am just 30 but my reality says i look more than 50.
I 'm proud that reizel was braver in telling her story to the world. its just very sad -
And still i don't have any diagnosis because am just scared and in denial at the same time.

I was starting to feel really insecure im 20 and im starting to see wrinkles in my face i have deep smile lines i can't stand looking at myself in the mirror ive deleted several of my pictures i was starting to feel like its over for me but after seeing this girl i realised my life is nowhere near that bad hopefully there will be a treatment soon no one that young should have to go through this

I wonder if this is a result from someone casting a black magic on her bc they were jealous of her beauty? I mean she even participated in the beauty paegants and looked beautiful. If thts the case, I hope she will find a pastor who will cast out the black magic away from her. Nobody deserves to suffer like this.

In a generation where looks are everything now this is pretty devastating. The only way to save her is do not let her get into social media. It will ruin her mind like it did to me. Live your life outside not as a parasocial. Phillippines might be more advantageous in this way where people can truly be happy.

She is beautiful
People should be less judgemental and not make fun of others
Calling someone ugly doesnt make you preetier
Calling someone fat doesnt make you skinny
Calling someone old doesn't make you look young

reply

Hmm. I wonder if she was told to frown or look sad in those shots.
Not saying it would solve the problem, and not trying to discount any worries and sadness she must be feeling, but I wish she would smile more.

When faith in God decreases, you lose the ability to accept the decree and destiny that was written for you, and when you believe in the written destiny, life and self improve, heal your pain by praying to God

I think someone has done this to her intentionally because it's quite rare that symptoms are shown at an age but not when she was born so it's not likely to be genetic or I think it is caused by DNA mutation.
reply

I'm 18 now
When I was 16
I used to cry on strech marks and saggy chest
I feel se envious of my other friends
I still get nightmare of those days
That was so overwhelming for a 16 yr old

reply

If I had that I would just start a rumor saying that I-m immortal and I-ve lived for 400 years and I-m trying to find my next victim so I can rejuvenate my health
reply

It's so sad and unfortunate for young people to face such things. It really tells you to not take anything for granted because anything can happen
reply

it's amazing how people get some things taken from them but they still don't give up, makes me don't wanna give up on myself either
thanks Raziel!

What a sad world that we are living and I am glad the she is getting support. Here dreams were destroyed and she didn-t have chance to try at all.
reply

For about two thirds of the video I thought this was fake, but then I saw the rest of her body is relatively young looking.
That's rough.

I'm 25 when my grandmother died i didn't drop a tear but of course i was sorrowful i don't know how but i cried in this video
reply

I think it had to do something with the pituitary gland if you put a block in front of it it will stop her from aging.
reply

It's hard to believe anyone boosted herself esteem. I myself have had a struggle with trying to meet decent people.
reply

That would be incredibly difficult. I-m 48 and barely starting to show signs of aging. I want to give her a hug
reply

looks don't matter as long as she's healthy and well, i hope she's happier now and achieves all her dreams
reply

I saw a documentary about a teenager with cutis laxa. I wonder if its that? Is there a diagnosis by now?
reply

Aweee she seems nice, I would totally accept her
as a grandma: kekw:
