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!

About pain and its remnants

     Did you ever heard about John J. Bonica? Or maybe you know him by his wrestler name Johnny "Bull" Walker. You should know about him, as he is the guy that practically invented the pain relief, as we know today. He was a professional wrestler in summer holiday, and a doctor and a healer, for the other part of his life. He was one of the first that has claimed that pain is the most complex human experience. That it involves your past life, your current life, your interactions, your family. He invented anesthesiology. Later, he'd even go on to help develop the epidural, for delivering mothers. He influenced all the pioneers who developed the modern basis for pain management. And much more. This is one of the unknown heroes, whose names should be always remembered.
