World Sweeps

[Guest guest]

It seems as though some of the immunicsBuddies groups are getting big

enough to produce world sweeps.

Everyone whom I've asked to test the question, " how many people who

have cured something, and who know each other and who are continuing

to talk to each other, are needed to produce/ ignite a world sweep in

that disease, " has tested some number under 10. I'm sure that this

is not true for all diseases, but it certainly seems to be true for

the ones I was asking about. And sometimes, my question was

about " any disease. "

Now I don't know if this next thing I'm going to say is even

testable, though I tested it, but it seems to me that if a world

sweep ignites in one disease, that sweep will easily cross-pollinate

to other diseases. People with cancer who learn that people with HIV

are controlling it with immunics are quite likely to start

controlling their cancer with immunics. It's simply becomes easier

for them to accept the idea that that's possible if there is a

thundering mass of people doing it with HIV.

It is also a sociological reality that the more people do something a

certain way, THE MORE VOCAL ABOUT IT ANY GIVEN ONE OF THEM BECOMES.

I have noticed huge inarticulateness in people who have had major

results in curing themselves -- sometimes all they can manage to do

is dash off a couple of lines in an e-mail. They're certainly not

phoning their congressmen.

But it is a known to sociologists that when thousands of them do the

same thing, and know each other is doing it, that they do tend to

phone their congressmen, and express what has happened for them in

numerous other ways. And this is how world sweeps happen.

World sweeps happened when:

1. People cure things.

2. People tell other people they cure them.

3. People again tell other people they cured them, and don't stop

telling other people they cured them until everybody in the world

cures them.

So I'm hoping to soon see this happen in these groups, even groups

like COPD or AHD, who only have a few members -- at this point, fewer

than 10!

If you need any help from me, just ask.

Your hopeful disease-eradicating friend,
