Sorry, but you know as much about the way the human brain works, as you do about rebuilding a transmission on a 1961 XLCH. While one is simple, the other is infinitely complex. Yet, in your hands both would be just as hard to comprehend.

NPR recently had a show discussing how chemo was akin to leeches. We are finding out that chemo is old antiquated method of treatment. As we do the research we find that treatments which we thought were good science are really dangerous. But were kept around because they make huge money.
Legalizing medical marijuana and LSD is basically the stepping stone for making those substances legal in other areas. We have people in our church who have refused chemo, went on it through prayer and are still alive. My own sister was killed by chemotherapy, as was said by her doctor, not me.
She was diagnosed with a super rare form of cancer which has like a 1% success rate. So, why even treat her? The chemotherapy made her weaker, sicker, 90 lbs of flesh and bones. They administered the chemo because of money availability. Brother in our church has an aneurysm, bleeding on the brain, the hospital gave him contrast dye that shut down his kidneys. The doctor walked into the hospital room while our church brother was on dialysis. The doctor turned to me and said that his kidneys will NEVER come back. Because they took such a bad hit, his words, not mine. I turned to the doctor, and told him that's a lie, Jesus will heal those kidneys. The doctor said that's no lie, that's a fact. I told the doctor we shall see. Church family prayed, and the church brother is 100% healed. Should I have smoked a dube with him? Should we split a tab of four way window pane? Should I have helped him snort some China White? In case Jesus didn't heal?
