Threshold for Pain?
We all face pain at different times in our lives - from the moment of birth when we shout out our first scream. From that point forward, life continues on with both physical and emotional pain, up until the time we leave this reality. The journey of humanity is often about healing and relieving pain.
Surveys and clinical studies have confirmed that women actually experience more pain, with greater frequency and intensity. They take more painkillers, suffer more from common pain-related conditions such as migraine headache and musculoskeletal disorders, and visit their physician more often with pain-related complaints. Interestingly, there may also be gender differences in responses to some analgesics, including possible side effects. Read More ...
As far back as I can remember, I have read clients who are burned out and suffer from an autoimmune disease called chronic fatigue syndrome. I associate CFS with depression - when life gets too stressful and out-of-control. CRASH!

From the beginning, humans sought ways to heal themselves. From prehistory to current day we are still in search of cures using old and new methods. Early healers were often referred to as magicians, medicine men, or shamans. It's often said that there was no tradition of scientific medicine in medieval times. According to the usual narrative of the history of progress, medicine in the European Middle Ages - from around the 5th to the 15th centuries - was a formless mass of superstition and folk remedies; the very antithesis of science.

Thursday was the dedication ceremonies of the 9/11 Memorial Museum - an emotionally moving day here in the city. President Obama called the National September 11 Memorial Museum a sacred place of healing and of hope that captures both the story and the spirit of heroism and helping others that followed the attacks. As you know the area below the new buildings, as told to me by workers involved with the construction, is haunted. Add some of the artifacts that are part of the museum and this energy will increase - for better or better worse. Read more ...

People wonder about the migration of humans to the North American continent. But what if it was the other way around ... what if early Americans spread out and went to other continents. Perhaps, as we live in a hologram, everything is an insert and nobody ever migrated anywhere. Things are not always what they seem.
DNA recovered from 12,000-year-old skeleton help to dispel claims that first Americans came from Australia, Asia or Europe. A near-complete human skeleton has been discovered, buried alongside saber-toothed cats, pumas and bobcats, at the bottom of Hoyo Negro, deep beneath the jungles of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula.
