How does tea tree oil massage help on bow legs?
What is referred to as 'bowed-legs" has to do with a condition that develops in childhood as a result of vitamin D deficiency, iodine deficiency, and poor nutrition. Once the legs are bowed, there is nothing that can be done about it. Tea tree oil is very good for many kinds of bruises and skin conditions, but it will most likely have no affect on the bow legs. It may help if there is any pain from arthritis in the joints that often develops with bow legs.
What may cause a Combination of low calcium and low total protein and low globulin on a blood test?
Low globulin can be due to immune deficiency associated with decreased antibody production. This would also account for lower total protein (because globulin is a protein), however it would not account for the low calcium level. Calcium is bound to protein in the blood, so low protein can be associated with a spruriously low calcium (i.e. a calcium number that is low without actual calcium deficiency). This may be the case if the albumin (another protein) is low, and there is a formula to correct calcium for low albumin, where: Corrected Calcium = (0.8 * (Normal Albumin - Pt's Albumin)) + Serum Ca Alternatively, an ionized calcium level can be checked and will be normal if the serum calcium was only low due to low albumin. Without knowing the clinical context (which would be very helpful), the most likely single explanation for low globulin, low total protein, and low serum calcium is protein nutritional deficiency. In this case, the body is overall protein deficient and so it is not uncommon to find a decrease in all protein levels (especially if severe). In this case, the low serum calcium is due to low albumin, as above. This can be further explored by checking a pre-albumin level (typically low if protein deficiency due to poor diet). You should talk to the physician who orderd the tests for a better answer, as only he or she knows why the tests were ordered and can interpret them in the appropriate clinical context.

Why are adolescent girls and woman more likely to suffer from iron deficiency?

What is the most likely explanation for the start of the universe?
The big bang is the most likely explanation for the start of the universe. Although scientists may never know the true beginning of the universe.
