Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

A Potential Weapon Against Cancer... -- Bio, Easy, Myst, Self

*
My last post discussed how someone could use a circulation-boosting technique to potentially resist the circulation problems associated with diabetes. Today I'd like to discuss how you could theoretically use the same, simple technique to help in fighting cancer.

What happens when a malignant cancer tumor forms in the body? Among other things, circulation tends to increase to that area as the cancerous cells "highjack" resources from the rest of the body. The following technique of Dr. Win Wenger's can be used to both increase and decrease circulation to a particular area of the body. So here are two ideas on how it could help in assisting someone using conventional cancer therapies.

One: Prior to the active use of chemotherapy, injected radioactive materials or anything else your doctors want to rush to the collection of rogue cancer cells, you can use the following technique to deliberately reduce the circulation to that spot in your body. Admittedly, some tumor locations will be easier to visualize than others. But if you can roughly visualize the afflicted area (for example, your doctor has very clearly shown you where it is) and you reduce circulation to it prior to chemotherapy (and when you have no chemo drugs, radioactive elements or anything else your doctors need to get into the tumor), then cutting off that supply of oxygen and nutrients should interfere with the mass' growth, and possibly contribute to its decline.

Two: Given how toxic some forms of chemo can be to the rest of the body, it might be possible to improve the effects of such treatment by briefly increasing circulation to the tumor when a dose of these chemicals are first introduced to your body and at their highest level of concentration in your blood stream. (We're assuming, in this case, that they are being conveyed to the tumor through normal circulation.) This option is chancy, however, insofar as you might simply be giving the tumor an unwanted boost to its growth. Certainly you'll want to know the optimum period for boosting circulation to the targeted location... and you won't want to continue this procedure for very long.

However, if you discuss these methods with your doctor and agree to attempt them, either or both of them may prove to be useful tools in resisting the effects of cancer. If anyone knows of a medical lab that might be interested in testing these applications, please pass them along.

Control of Blood-Flow Circulation

Of many easy ways to control blood-flow circulation, the “Expander Technique” is perhaps the easiest. Whichever area(s) of the body you wish to increase blood flow to, simply imagine that particular part of the body is an inch larger in all directions and an inch further out from the center of the body than it really is.

With one inch “expansion,” the body image will expand circulation to supply the imagined larger area.

Except for the hands and feet (see “Limb-Extender,” below), beyond two inches “expansion” and the effect disappears. If you have thermal bio-feedback monitoring equipment, or once you sensitize to the feelings of increased circulation (warmth, tingling and/or pulsing sensation), you can range the degree of imagined expansion between one-half inch and two inches to find the point of maximum effect.

With the “Expander Technique,” circulation increase is specific – particular tissues and organs can be flushed with extra circulation without noticeably affecting surrounding tissues.

The best parts of the body to expand circulation to, other things equal, are:· the brain, where in the average person over 30 years of age, 100,000 brain cells die everyday from declining circulation;· the womb area during pregnancies, where circulation-flushing appears to greatly enhance the development of fetuses by speeding the removal of toxic wastes.“Limb-Extender,” variant of the “Expander Technique” gives easy instant feedback in cold weather if your hands or feet are cold. Imagine arms (or legs) much longer; imagine reaching through the space occupied by the physical hands (or feet) “to” some distant object. Hands (or feet) warm somewhat, instantly.It is not yet known whether bleeding can be reduced or stopped by the inverse procedure, of imagining the injured part of the body to be smaller and closer in to the center of the body than it actually is – Psychegenicists generally don’t have accidents and so have little opportunity to test such a procedure. None of us thus far have felt like deliberately damaging anything just to make the test or demonstration.
