Things to Consider About The Brain

• Antidepressants are used for foot pain in diabetics, as are anticonvulsants. Do diabetics have seizures in their toes?
  
  
• Antidepressants are used for urticaria skin diseases, fibromyalgia, and muscle aches of all types? Do patients have depressed muscles and depressed skin?
  
  
• Why do we continually fail to recognize the power of the brain to impact every organ system?
• Do we have to wait for 30 years for heart disease patients to wait to take a fever drug (aspirin) not because they have a fever but because they have inflammation?
  
  
• How long will it take for us to realize that you can’t image a human being through tapping on the body and a stethoscope – that we need PET scan, CT, MRI? To see the whole human body, we need an MRI of the pancreas, a CT of the lung, an MRI of the brain, an MRA of the blood vessels of the brain, a PET scan of the whole body, an MRI of the prostate.
  
  
• How long will it take when we repair an aneurysm and fix a human being neurosurgically and then they break a hip and die the next day?
  
  
• Paradigms are the secret to great medicine. We know that RNA makes DNA. Linus Pauling was so absorbed in collagen protein that he actually claimed that DNA was a triple helix even though he knew that everything exists in pairs.
