On TV, a guy having a stroke. He puts his fingers to his brow, kneads his brow, but what he doesn't realize is that that motion is not just a desperate reflex in response to pain, it's actually the correct action for solving the problem, which is impairment of circulation in part of his brain. If he realized what the gesture actually was, he would have persisted with it, massaged his scalp and his jaw and neck, shaken it out, taken a breath, said ah ah ah to flex the jaw and open the throat, and circulation would have been restored.
Same with lumps, so called cancers. We are taught to feel for them by manipulating the breasts or testicles. But we are not taught that, when we find a lump, if we use the same probing motions of our fingers we used to find it to explore it, get to know it (asking, in our minds, "what are you doing, cells"), gently move it around a little and see how that feels, gently squeeze it or rub it a little ... it will soon dissolve.
I want to create an institute 4 this kind of medicine.
