PRACTICE DOESN'T MAKE BETTER
An interesting review of the book THE HAND: HOW ITS USE SHAPES THE BRAIN, LANGUAGE AND
HUMAN CULTURE was in the January '99 "Discover Magazine" on how we learn.
We've erroneously learned the concept of the "learning curve". This says
we have to keep practicing to learn something and that we progressively learn to do the
task or activity better.
What really happens is break-through.
Jugglers, musicians and magicians experience this. After months of struggle with a
three-toss routine, a student juggler may suddenly complete 11 tosses. One
researcher reports 1,000% variations from one test of subjects to another.
Also, what continuous practice does is not to
make what we do perfect. Instead we learn a wider variety of ways to recover from
mistakes. A seasoned neurosurgeon said his years of practice have made him better at
getting out of trouble.
HEADACHES AFTER STRESS
Your headaches may not only happen when you're under stress. A study of 500 migraine
sufferers by
Dr. Lawrence Robbins,
considered
to be
one of
the
top 10
experts
in the
country
on
management
of
headache
medications, found that almost 25% had post-stress letdown
headaches. They tended to occur a full day after the stress period ended. Dr.
Robbins suggested doing relaxation techniques while the stress was occurring. It
doesn't take long to make a difference.
I would suggest doing the Japanese finger
pressure technique I teach called Shiatsu,
a form
of
acupressure
without
the
needles. You can do it on yourself or on someone
else.
It literally gets rid of a headache in 90 seconds. That's right, 1 1/2
minutes.
I've
done a
video
called
"Instant
Headache
Relief"
that
has
the
headache
treatment
and
treatments
for
migraines,
sinus
colds
and
stiff
neck
and
shoulders.

Here's what Deborah Bishop said:
"After living with optic migraines for
many years, the techniques Jerry Teplitz taught me have allowed for a pain-free
life. I have also noticed a substantial decrease in the amount of migraines and
headaches I used to have. Thank you Jerry."
THE POWER OF PLACEBOS
The placebo effect occurs when a "sham" treatment causes someone to be
healed. The placebo effect has been known for years. There is recent research
that is exploring and validating its impact even further.
Placebos have been studied in a number of ways:
1 - Doctors in Texas did fake arthroscopic knee
surgery on patients. One group had only three little cuts made where the instruments
would have been inserted. Two years later, the sham surgery and real surgery
patients both reported the same amount of relief from pain and swelling.
2 - A baldness study found 86% of the men
taking a drug either maintained or recovered the amount of hair on their heads. 42%
of the placebos did, too!
3 - In Japan, people had poison ivy rubbed on
one arm and were told it was a harmless leaf. On the other arm, they had a harmless
leaf rubbed on it, but they were told it was poison ivy. 100% broke out with poison
ivy on the side where the harmless leaf was actually rubbed.
Scientists are looking at a concept called
expectancy theory to explain the phenomenon. What the brain believes about the
immediate future, it will begin to react to, whether or not the future event is real or
sham.
A study with monkeys showed that their brains would begin firing 20 to 30 seconds before
they received a consistent reward for doing something.
Another key element is the belief of the doctor
or healing practitioner. Studies have shown that when the doctor was positively
enthusiastic, the placebo effect was much higher.
Since placebos are 55% to 60% as effective as
drugs, maybe we need to be more intensely exploring how to increase this to 100%.
NUTRASWEET AND EQUAL MAY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS
At the World Environmental Conference, a paper was given on
Aspartame, which is sold as
NutraSweet and Equal. There has been an epidemic in the U.S. of multiple sclerosis
and systemic lupus.
Here's some facts: when
aspartame exceeds
86 degrees, the wood alcohol in it converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid (this
is the poison found in fire ants). This mimics the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Systemic lupus is showing up in people who
drink three to four 12 oz. cans of Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi per day. Eliminating the
soda doesn't eliminate this disease.
With Multiple sclerosis, when the Aspartane is
eliminated, most of the symptoms disappear.
Here's a list of diseases that may be
Aspartane-caused: fibromyalgia, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs,
cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks,
slurred speech, blurred vision or memory loss.
You need to eliminate
Aspartames from your diet.
NEW CANCER TREATMENT
There's a new cancer development that is in clinical trials. It was developed by Dr.
Stanislaw Burzynski and uses antineoplastons which is a naturally occurring substance that
alters the genetics of the cancer cells.
Preliminary results from six brain tumor
studies gave a combined overall response rate of from 68% to 88%. For information,
call the Burzynski Clinic in Houston at (281) 597-0111.
