Healing by prayer hasn't been documented because it isn't something you can differentiate from any other 'positive feeling' approach. However, this sort of thing *has* been documented before. I've read a lot of studies showing the difference in patients who had a hopeful outlook versus the opposite, and they are indeed dramatic.

However, people feel good from a lot of things, not just prayer. It could be a loved one, it could be an event, it can be just about anything. That's the hard part. If communing with an imaginary person in the sky brings you joy and solace, then that's of course a valid part of getting better, but it's not like that sort of effect is something you can quantify efficiently. IE, how would you establish a scale of Happy, Sad, and Control? It just isn't something that's clinically possible.

I'd agree with maytagman. Prayer can be a great positive influence for the faithful, but really the operative is positivity in this case. I knew some friends who were in a deep funk and had a very negative outlook. They ended up getting various colds, disorders, and were in the hospital all the time!

After they got a new outlook on life and things turned around for them, all this went away. Positive thought as well as intention and volition have an immense effect on your daily day. Check out "What the Bleep do we Know" for more on that topic...

Maytagman and the Duke of URL are to stupid to read what's written. Yea morons go back there and reread that post of mine and when you have something intelligent to say on the subject drop me a line.

It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to use my mind to fix damaged tissue.

I am completely tired of ignorant A**holes.

So, basically you are saying that you can physically heal a wound by concentrating? If that's the case then I can see why people shy away from your situation.

I wasn't attacking your position at all, I think that was a bit of an overreaction on your part. If you really can do this, why not make a YouTube video and get the word out on your own? The Internet is a powerful tool if you use it for more than berating people who are trying to hav a discussion with you.

Maytagman please reread the original post and quote where I in any way shape or form described how I did anything. I'll repeat it "It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to use my mind to fix damaged tissue." Where is the word concentration? Where is any indication of method? Where did I say I know how healing through prayer or force of will healing works? That's "two" documented methods that people have used to describe how they achieved nonstandard, extraordinary or should I dare use the word miraculous healing. Documented means it happened and somebody wrote a report or news article. I have an article posted on hubpages with the basic anatomy and how to instruction but posting links here is described as spamming so I did not post it. The simplest description of what I do is information processing. The power of positive thinking is also called the placebo effect a well known and measurable method humans use to control their internal functions. Ever hear of the relaxation response?

I know I'd like to see some reference to what you're speaking of, and I don't think posting a link that pertains to what you're talking about is spam...

Not a problem http://www.hubpages.com/hub/Speed-healing-of-trauma-injuries-through-self-directed-regeneration


I think the definition of spamming is context related. If you ask for more information it's not, but if I post a link and say look at this, it is.

I would say the biggest opposition you would face is absolute skepticism. It sounds amazing, and unbelievable. Our body tissues are able to heal themselves, and short distances between broken flesh will heal, where an open wound or bone separated by several inches will not regrow as easily, timely or correctly. This is the desired outcome of using stitches, casts, braces and pins.

Setting a bone, or aligning muscle with a series of exercises/maneuvers is more physical act than mental.

Yes the brain is highly plastic, and most regions highly general purpose for processing patterns of signals. So plastic, and able to deal with different types of input, in fact, that a ccd camera + dot matrix tongue pads, take advantage of the high concentration of nerve cells in the tongue, to provide visual sensory input into otherwise blind people. After just 15 minutes patients are able to identify large structures in a room and after several hours are able to read text. So yes the brain will work in interesting ways and make new connections and process different signals.

I would like to know how you were able to route signals from one region of your brain to another so quickly. Neurons are very good at reaching out to distant places to make connections, but millions of connections will not spontaneously form across great distances in the brain.

Internal visualization of your tissue seems more a practice of sensitivity in kinesthesis. Or maybe cert... (show all)

ain parts of your brain got boggled up in your accident to kick off a sensory mixup. Or maybe parts of your brain that filter out nonsense ( same parts that turn off during dream states to allow vivid rediculousness ) were bumped offline?

I am reminded of Daniel Tammet, a savant who understands mathematics and numbers in terms of pictures, textures, colors, and shapes.

You say you strictly identify the damage with your mind? Or do you say you repair with your mind?
