ABOUT ME

In the book Blink, Malcolm Gladwell asks the reader if we think we'd be able to pick out of a line-up someone we had briefly met earlier in the past week - a waiter for example. Apparently most of us are able to do this without much of a problem. If however we were first asked to describe in words what that person looked like (hair color, clothing, etc) our identification skills would actually get much worse. It's called verbal overshadowing and it happens when the part of our brain that thinks in words begins to bleed into and displace the part of our brain that thinks in pictures.

Sooo...that's a roundabout way of saying that I'd rather not contribute to that phenomenon by describing myself in words, though in retrospect I'm not sure it was as clever or as relevant as I hoped it would be.

Most chronic soft tissue injuries can be fixed by injecting a sugar solution into the degenerated area and around the nerves that feed that area. It's called prolotherapy and neural prolotherapy and it works the majority of the time.
