Another Impossible Cure; What Can We Learn From Them?

The previous post discusses our experience that resulted from my wife's glaucoma. Her vision is now better than I have ever seen it before. We have known each other for a little less than 20 years. I believe there is good research behind the conclusion that damage to the retina due to glaucoma is irreversible. She could not see as well as she does today with a damaged retina. There is a real puzzle here - a very welcome one, I might add. I wonder if there is something to learn from it.

Here is a second, more recent puzzle. Ever since I started eating the spices, my right shoulder has been getting looser and more worrisome. Since I am right-handed, that is the shoulder of my tennis arm. About 5 days ago, I began asking questions about it. I decided that there was no cartilage in the joint; that a community of some sort had done its best to substitute for cartilage for many years. That was shocking. Apparently the spices were gradually killing the community. Today is Wednesday. By Friday of last week I was afraid to raise that arm above the shoulder. It would dislocate. Tennis was really too dangerous for the joint. I discuss this discovery in this video:



The video explains how I intended to solve the problem. The solution worked amazingly well. At the end of the video, I said I didn't expect to play tennis again for awhile. I made the video in the morning. By mid afternoon of the same day, my body wanted tennis practice on the wall. This is simply hitting the ball against a wall. It is intense, since the wall is much closer than the usual opponent. I did well. There were strange feelings in that shoulder. It felt as though I had a complete shoulder made of parts that didn't quite fit. I suspect the workout helped them get used to each other. I made the next video after that practice.



Since making the video, my tennis has continued to improve. Not surprisingly, I play better with a complete shoulder. The organism, even doing its best, could not match the performance of real cartilage.

Both the shoulder and the glaucoma solutions contradict common sense. Healing like this isn't supposed to happen. What can we learn from this? Let's start by assuming that I told the truth. Strangely, this reality is simply not compatible with my understanding of time. Are my interpretations wrong? I doubt it. Those interpretations cured us. Wrong interpretations don't cure people. Then my interpretations were correct. In that case I must conclude that our bodies did not cure the diseases. They are incurable. Our bodies changed their histories so the diseases weren't there. I make no apologies for that statement. How else can I account for what happened?

How can my body change its history? Perhaps time is more interesting than I thought. After all, I can't change my past. Or can I? I tend to think of my past as a real thing - as though it really exists. Suppose my past is an idea, a possibility. One possibility among many as long as I did nothing at the time to record it in stone. If I made it history at the time, then I am stuck with it as a real thing. But I never did that. I wonder if my past is a concept I have invented.

There is a book called "The End of Time," by Julian Barbour, Ph.D. This book, written for the layman, contends that a better understanding of time is the next great revolution in physics. Dr. Barbour, a respected worker in quantum gravity, contends that time is an artifact of quantum mechanics. In other words, time is more than simply an inexorable clock. He and his colleagues are working to put a good theoretical foundation under this idea.

I agree with that conclusion. In fact, it provides a reasonable interpretation for our success. Time is a more flexible tool than we previously thought. Handled with respect, it can produce miracles safely, reliably and easily. The best laboratory in which to test it is our own health.

I present this in the hopes it is some use to you. If you find it useful, I would like to hear about it.
