Stories from the upper-world, mutation and far-fetched dramas

We learn from this article that somewhere on this planet, there is a woman who did not experienced fear or anxiety, because of a rare gene mutation that made her immune to pain. The story documents the case of a woman, Jo Cameron, who doesn’t feel pain. She actually burns and cuts herself quite often because of this. Perhaps equally fascinating is that even though she cuts and burns herself frequently, the injuries rarely left scars, and her body heals quickly. Researchers attribute her pain-free existence and quick-healing abilities to a “microdeletion” in part of a gene called FAAH-OUT. (Interestingly, the endocannabinoid system is prominently involved.)

They are thinking that because she is living a pain free life, she almost never experienced anxiety or fear. But maybe is the reverse of the medal. we know that emotions bring changes into the body, physical changes, and maybe this is the reason. If your emotions do not translate in painful experiences, the fear dissapear. Just think about it and its implications.

And have a bright day!
