The power of thought

Did you know that three -legged stools, as it turns out, are an excellent conductor of cosmic energies and are able to increase the physical strength and endurance of a person sitting on it? Didn't you hear? Well, you give! I assure me that it is enough to sit on such a stool from time to time, quite short and infrequently, and physical abilities increase many times.

It is very simple to prove it. Come to the gym. Choose a program of classes, preferably consulting first with the coach. Getting to the classes, not forgetting from time to time, in breaks, sit down on a three -year -old friend. After a month, even earlier, you will notice the effect.

The critical reader will definitely notice the catch. There is no control group in my experiment, and without it it is impossible to draw any conclusions. Do not worry, a critical reader. I thought out an experiment that will confirm my hypothesis with the inexorable of Monday, coming after the weekend.

It is necessary to gain 24 volunteers for experiments and randomize them in two groups. Send the first group to the gym with stools. The second is allowed to live a normal life of a modern person, traveling from work to a sofa and again to work. After a month, you can check who is better handed over to the TRP standards. And let not everyone succeed. But I assure you, a critical reader, in a group subjected to regular sitting on three -legged stools, the results will be much better. A stool, which is a conductor of cosmic energies, cannot but help - the studied group will be statistically significant, higher and stronger. It will be possible to write an article, published in a decent place, chuckling at skeptics and critical readers.

It is a pity only one thing - they will not take me with this in a decent place. Maybe because I chose the control group incorrectly. It would be more correct and more scientific to send the control group to the gym, but without stools. Even better, generally no one to drive and torment anyone in the gym. Or to dial 3 groups, and to seize one of them on ordinary, four -legged chairs. Or maybe the only reason is that I am not a serious scientist from the university medical center.

Interesting work with the interesting name “Voluntary Activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System and Attenuation of the Innate Immune Response in Humans” was made in one of these centers one of these scientists [1]. The authors write in it that immunity and sympathetic nervous system, albeit partly, can be controlled consciously, simply by the power of thought. It is enough to master the simple practices of meditation. And many editions of the headlines have already been dispaired: "A person is able to regulate the work of immunity." And it seems, here it is - a mortal blow to evidence -based medicine, which does not recognize the strength of the spirit and treats only the physical body. Even the mighty Nature could not resist [2], performing the victorious ode to the discovery.

Only there is nothing to rejoice here.

The authors have not proved anything. And let them conduct a lot of tests, spent reagents, time and finances of their sponsors -the result does not make any sense. At least, there is no more sense in it than in the mental experiment with a three -legged conductor of cosmic energies.

Yes, and I did not come up with my experiment, I repent. He licked his scheme for the authors of this work. After all, they really divided 24 people into 2 groups. They sent the control group to do their own business, and the investigated person - to special classes, including "spiritual" development. After 10 days, these groups were compared in many respects, discovered significant differences and declared victory. The list of procedures is attached:

1. Meditation on the “third eye” technique, including visualization and complete relaxation.

2. Immersion in cold water in different versions, lying in the snow, walks in the mountains in some underpants.

3. Special breathing techniques.

You will tell me: what does meditations and conscious control of immunity have to do with it? What, really no one, nor editors, nor reviewers, noticed Clause 2 in such a short list? They did not pay attention that people were driven naked around the mountains, soaked in ice baths, forced to wallow in the snow? No, I understand, of course, what is hardening (in Russia since ancient times used to “control immunity”) requires certain volitional efforts from the individual. But to name the result of these procedures by the consequence of a conscious impact on immunity and meditation on the techniques of the "third eye"?

Well, sorry.

By the way, since we are talking about practical significance. Nobody needs a stool - an aggregator of space rays? I have, if that. Contact. Selling relatively inexpensive.
