It's amazing how far science has come in the last hundred years, perhaps the most interesting part is we're accepting how much we still don't understand.

I'm sure we've all heard examples of someone being told they would never walk again after an accident or they would never recover from an illness, yet there are lots of times when people can just pull some kind of strength and determination from somewhere and make amazing things happen.

Some people see it as an act of God, some see it as the stubborn old sod just wouldn't die but it's an amazing thing. I wonder where it really comes from?

People underestimate the power of survival even if you think you have had enough there is usually something that can pull you from the edge and back on your feet, and yes, partially talking from experience x

Oddly enough, infections aren't high on my list of 'things I love'.

A lot to do with our third eye . A lot of the food we eat An things we drink shrink our third eye so it can’t be used . The brain is so complex no one really knows what we could do if we could use 100% of it . I belive we use about 7% of it . Crazy

Isn't that a myth? We actually use all our brains

Medical science is not infallible. We will hear of the recoveries against all odds, the patient given six months who lives six year simply because the majority who don't recover or do die in the expected time frame aren't news worthy.
