The only way……….

The Journal of Neuroscience, November, 2004, researchers at Northwestern University, concluded that patients with chronic back pain, that the brains of aged
20-times that of normal healthy people.
They went further and reported that the brains of people with chronic back pain
had as much as 11% brain shrinkage. It is gray matter, which is lost, which is responsible for information processing (IQ), and memory. The leading researcher A. Vania Apkanian said the average healthy person loses
0.5% of gray matter a year, but with sciatica, chronic back pain, produces
10 to 20 years of normal aging. The longer suffers from chronic back pain (years), the brain is bigger loss. Yes, really.
The reason for the shrinkage of the brain seems to be almost permanent state of
negative mood and attitude, and the stress associated with her. Apkanian believes
Shrinkage of the brain (the loss of gray matter), is a result of nerve cells in a permanent state
the work – they are overworked to the extreme.
He comes to the conclusion that the longer the back pain persists, the greater the irreversibility
because the brain structures and functions – permanent change.
What’s new?
In 2006, Dr. Sean Mackey, Stanford University, reported a different approach
in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dealing with chronic back pain, his research suggests that patients with their own live brain scans can learn to control pain activation.
There are two brain systems that are in pain – pain perception and pain modulation.
Wait – there is no single pain center, but 5-10 areas transmit pain feedback.
Here is the killer conclusion of Dr. Mackey, top-gun at the Stanford Medical School:
Pain modulation (change, change), is triggered by FAITH. A placebo (sugar pill
or an injection of plain water), can shut down the pain, while a nocibo (belief in injury), will expand the pain when your brain is convinced that you are injured.
How does that happen?
The brain releases its endogenous (originating from), endorphins (pleasure hormones), an opiate-like substance.
The reason a placebo works is the brain releases a chemical that attaches to the mud opioid receptors. You want this – fake opiates cause the brain to produce their own
the ones in response. It is the train effect.
Is Believing in the change in the fundamental change in the reality?
The answer is yes, with practice, as the spirit combines with the body.
It seems a thing called the brain power of suggestion. The same uses a
in hypnosis and auto-suggestion where you can convince yourself.
A doctor tells a group of patients in an experiment that the pain they were
Feeling would be greatly facilitated by its (placebo) medication, led to 99%
Effectiveness. We believe in the authority and his / her expertise. It sounds strange, but
We believe – changes to our state-of-Mind, which in turn changed our body receptors.
Hold it! After thinking about pain produced physical changes in our – pain, no pain perception. It is visible on the fMRI (functional magnetic resonance symbols),
and is not a schizophrenic episode.
They have zero-in on the area produces, that the human consciousness of our mind-anesthetic pain – it means – rostra anterior cingulated Cortex (RACC). We can
see it in action, in living color, on the fMRI, and it is modulated by our prefrontal
Cortex, the brain area that makes decisions.
The scientists do not claim that they know why cognitive effort, the activation of the RACC, it just does. Thinking deeply about the why, returns us to the
Realm of Huh? We are rational creatures – motivated by emotion, let’s not all
further.
Soft Wired
You have heard that our genes make us hard-wired, we come to life pre-programmed to a significant degree.
Another reality is that our brain is soft-wired (plastic), so that we can learn.
If we learn that it is followed by structural and functional changes in our brain.
Practice, according to the experts, the pain an average of 64%, no mean trick.
An even more – what you believe and expect to create your reality. It does not change
the world, only your world. Another thing – we do not know an iota about the source
of consciousness. It is not neurons firing, but depends on our neurons, the wired
together to fire together.
End words
It is intuitive that with a positive attitude is better than a conviction that you
will fail. We are at the next threshold of reason – what you believe, active, mentally
visualize and expect – to go in your brain, and perhaps in your motivations
and behaviors.
Professor William James, 1890, at Harvard, created the right of the As-If. Whatever your opinion consistently thinks and feels drives your brain to discover and bring order. If you file, thinking, feeling and faith AS-IF you have already received the target
They are chasing – it is a direction for both hemispheres of the brain – is to win.
The latest research indicates that people with chronic back pain have annual shrinkage of the brain an additional 1.3%. That is far too much. We have over 100 billion brain cells, so it is not an instant ticket for Alzheimer’s, but it is not good.
Here is the core of the IT – meditation, hypnosis, distraction, mental visualizations, and
Placebo – all offer a method to train the brain to obey our prefrontal cortex – our active consciousness. It works for me personally, to reduce pain and improve healing.
It is your assignment to check it out. The Indian charkas are real, seven subtle energy that can be manipulated by acupressure and acupuncture to help you heal
faster, and reduce the pain. My personal favorite is singing every day – Uh-(as in Accountant, OO (as in the book), and as in MNG Mee-Ing – (Uh-OO-MNG) for 20 minutes twice a day. Now I know that you are much too busy for a total of forty minutes a day to your health, reduce, if not the end of the pain, and active living to 90 years.
