I decided to start a new thread about this so as to not be a Dinky :)
So I used to get sick a lot, and could never figure out why. Now this guy at work he smokes, drinks pretty heavily (well, REALLY heavily might be a better fit) and has missed ONE day in the LAST ten years. So I got to thinking...What is the deal? Oh yeah, he is an older guy too. Then I noticed that he doesn't worry about anything. Everything just runs off of him. If I get a sore throat rush me to the emergency room. But him? he just blows it off.
Then I started to do some research about mass hysteria, under the hypothesis that diabetes and cancer and what not might actually be CREATED simply because of one's beliefs. This isn't always the case, because some have bad genetics, but in about 75% of the cases it might be true. there was actually a CDC study on this. So the media, even though they are trying to be helpful, can actually PERPETRATE what they are trying to protect against. The irony huh?
There was a study done by scientists on monkeys on some remote island. They showed the monkeys a new way to prepare thier food. Pretty soon, ALL of the monkeys then learned that trick. The caveat is though, that monkeys learned the trick who had NOT interacted with the monkeys who were taught the new way. they learned it via telepathy or something. Now think for a minute what that means to US. After all, we only use 5-10% of our brains...
