Remote Health Care

It is a disease called fibromyalgia, their existence into question by a whole series of the medical profession. According to the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, they have a cure for him, says the New York Times. So here we have a disease that may not exist, but there is a certain pharmaceutical cure for it?
Far be it for me to question whether the person concerned, and they seem to be mostly women in middle age, suffering from the pain of this disease, although they can not be determined where the pain comes. It seems they certainly do suffer pain. The question in my mind is the extent of intervention by the drug company takes medication to treat something that might not be treatable, due to the fact that the disease does not exist or is the basis for the disease is still unknown. Because they do not know what causes the pain, the reasons could be very different to what could be the treatment of Pfizer.
At the same time, an article appears in the independent online discussions about the possibility of whether the pain could be all in your head. The story describes two doctors decided that an experiment with himself as the guinea pigs.
Off they went to a Hindu festival in Malaysia, during the ritual where people violently open and say that they feel absolutely no pain. The western doctors, armed with a healthy skepticism, and went along to try it out.
One of the twins are ready for the event by participating in the Pre-Event Hindu rituals. The other came to the event with piercing no preparation, but a big hangover. Strangely enough, the two had gone into the preparation feel more pain than those with the hangover. Nothing like a good bit of alcohol to anesthetize himself!
But what the twins have found that the participants seemed to give a kind of trance state, and that they definitely do not suffer from too much pain. Their conclusion, as a semi-scientific as it may sound, was that pain was based in the brain.
They claim that even with the experience during the treatment of patients, they have noticed that some people are able to cope with pain a lot better than others. Someone with a sprain could vomiting and pale, while someone else with a much more malicious injury could suffer far less.
I remember one incident where my older daughter at the age of four or so had run into a hot window frames in their race for the local library. Those were the days when children were excited to go and find a book! If the doctor was stitching her forehead, on my face ordered me to lie down, because I was too weak. Talk about the transmission of pain.
The other fairly good indicator of pain and their existence is necessary in view of the experiments were carried out by the placebo effect. This is when patients no longer feel pain, although they are taking the pills, have no drugs in them. Sugar pills, so to speak.
Another fascinating study by neurologist VS Ramachandran, has extensive research on the pain people experience in their phantom limbs. People with amputated limbs, like arms and legs, pain may feel in these limbs, even though they no longer exist. See his excellent presentation here.
What he has discovered that the person, the brain needs re-education, so that he understands that there is no left limb to paining. In the same way, doctors have recently been prescribing cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychologists treating patients with “breaking” the path of pain to the brain. When these few points, then it seems as if the whole question of pain could be an open area of science with many more possible solutions than the search for a drug company profits’ invent ‘a drug for a pain which no one knows where is it. Where are the business ethics here people.
