Re: A glitch in the system

[Guest guest]

I've always thought about it as a hardware incompatibility. That is, the hardware (brain) isn't compatible with the social program software. That fits right in with your "having technical difficulties" comment.

I would like to tell everyone of a term I use (yes, being a computer geek,etc.) that helps.We all have (Aspies & the disabled) "technical difficulties". In bothmental and physical disabilities. A nice twist to help people understand.And a good joke I hope! :-)"Oh, I'm not insane, I'm just having technical difficulties at this time,please check later when they have been patched up"(a variation of the "we are experience technical difficulties, please staytuned...")Randy GarrettAntioch, CA USA-----<---{(@No virus found in this outgoing message.Checked by AVG.

This is all true. The brain does rewire itself and really replaces its material completely every couple of years. Indeed, the entire body is renewed every 5 or 6 years or so.

I know what you mean about looking at the feet. It isn't just seniors that do that, but most people. I try to keep my eyes either on the horizon or on the ground about 50 feet or so ahead. That way you can see more of your surroundings but not your feet. I think that and the kinds of exercises that I do are helping to keep me agile and with quick reactions.

There was an extreme case that I read about a while back about people getting in a rut. It was a story about a banker who did everything the same every day for like 40 years or so. He never varied his daily routines or did anything different. When he died and the autopsy was done. they found that the right hemisphere, the side used for creativity and such had severely atrophied. Since muscles will atrophy from lack of use, it makes sense that the brain could as well.

I've been watching a program on the brain today as I have been

working on a painting. It was saying that the brain can and does

learn throughout all of our lives and it also can repair itself and

create new nerve cells and connections.

I can agree with all statements and comments but I am sure a software

patch is a long way coming. I am not sure we need the update pak

I have always thought the brain could go on learning, as I had a good

example with my grandfather, even into old age he continued to learn

new things, he had a love for learning and encouraged such in me. I

have seen many examples of people that don't continue to learn

though, it seems to me they have no desire to.

As for the looking at the feet, I tend to look ahead when walking and

my peripheral(sp?) vision deals with where I am walking and such. I

did notice the other day though when I was getting sidetracked with

some wonderful views that as I was gazing at such and still walking I

was wavering off track a bit.

" I'm NOT into extremism or extremist opinions, Not 100%

against Chelation but certainly not trying to sell anyone on it either

like on person on another list was kind of doing! "

In the Quack Medicine folder in the Files section, there is a whole

folder on Chelation. You can read up on its side effects and the

autistic person that got killed undergoing the procedure. No one here

will plug chelation because we know its lethal and does more damage

than good to anyone who isn't actually suffering metal toxicity

poisoning.

It is very true that if you have no reason to believe that someone has

heavy metal toxicity (ie: do the testing) then chelation depletes the

body of essential metals as well as toxic ones. It should not be taken

lightly nor without resupplying the needed metals. (bodies cease to

function without metals such a zinc) etc. It is no way a fad for those

in need, and it is foolhardy for those without knowledge of medicine

and chemistry. Depletion of needed metals is even true for herbal, and

needed metals must be restored to maintain balance. going in order

Not at all.
