When you turn on a light, electrons cross a gap. When you start your car, an electric spark crosses a gap. While doing this you are totally unaware that in your own body the common dollar exchange of the human energy system, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is releasing electrons and thus being converted into physical energy for all bodily processes and movement throughout the electron transport system. Every time you move or think, electrons stream across a gap between neurons called a synapse. This stream is like an electrical current and can be measured in the laboratory. The electrical field that you generate is very weak and is measured in millivolts and gauss.

The recent interest in Oriental acupuncture to prevent pain has helped lead to the use of electronic devices to aid the healing of bone with electrical current and to interrupt electrical signals that would cause pain if transmitted. The courts have defined death as the absence of electrical activity in the brain. Electronics, which has made this kind of monitoring possible, is the science of the development and application of devices and systems involving the flow of electrons in gaseous media and in semiconductors.

It is very hard to imagine life, any kind of life, as simply an electrical system. Kirlian photography shows the electrical aura around a leaf. Children arc being trained by physicists and psychologists to see electrical fields around people. When we speak of people as magnetic we may be speaking a scientific truth. The magnetoencephalogram (MEG) is used in the laboratory to measure the magnetic field in gauss given off by the cortex of the brain.

No motion is made by the human body without raising the so-called resting potential of nerve cells to an action potential voltage causing work. Stored in the double phosphate high energy bond of ATP, electrons are released to travel through the nervous system to activate muscles and are measured in millivolts, 1/1000 of a volt. ATP is what makes fireflies light up at night and accounts for the well-known shocking behavior of the electric eel.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) and the electrocardiogram (EKG) are graphic representations of the brain and heart making waves. Recently in sports medicine, athletes have had their body patterns recorded photographically to show their muscular strengths or weaknesses and predict their probable degree of success. This method has also been used to predict the performance of race horses.

Laser, a gas medium, is a natural extension of electronics. It is used in industry, acoustical recording, message transmission, and to read fingerprints even years after they have been left on a page. It is also used to identify horses from their chestnuts, the callosities on their legs. As an example of a technology that has been under development for some time we have to give credit for laser to Uncle Sam and you, the taxpayer. The National Standards Laboratory is busy making accurate new measurements because modern laser techniques are so precise that they have made the old ones obsolete. Laser is so fine-tuned that it is used for eye surgery.

The brain has been under investigation since the 1800s and earlier, and its activity recorded since the 1900s. It should not be too surprising that all brain tissue is simply a transmitter of electrical activity and a resonator that receives vibrations. With the computer, different areas of the brain can be displayed on a TV screen and the various activities under study displayed in an assortment of colors. The nerve impulses themselves can be converted into digital code so that the computer can identify their source, and from the source determine which part of the human nervous system is involved.

You cannot see human brain waves by looking at a human head. If that head, however, is attached in some way to a computer, you can look at the visual display and see the waves. Large, fast computers like the Cray outrace the mind of man when it comes to making concise, accurate, instantaneous measurements. Remote-sensing and over-the-horizon radars are commonplace. Remote sensing of animals without hurting the animal has been done. A powerful laser scanning can measure acoustics, density and the sound of electrical activity including the broadcast coming from the human ear. The human ear not only receives, but also sends out its own signals which can be picked up by a sensitive listening device like the laser. Once sounds enter the ear they interfere with each other and set up harmonic tones.

The range of human behavior is almost unquantifiable but attempts have been made. The basic areas, according to Maslow, that must be taken care of first are sleep, food and sex and I would add to this the need for emotional security. You are most likely to be stressed when these areas are attacked.

The effects of radio or microwaves of various kinds have been reported in scientific and lay literature. It is known that they can affect blood pressure, body temperature and mental states by reaching the hypothalamus through the eardrum which is in the closest contact to this master gland. We also know that astronauts can be monitored in space. We have already invented lenses that see in the dark and penetrate foliage and walls. Suppose that from a distance you could be influenced by electromagnetic or microwaves and be stressed by electrical shock, unexpected muscle spasms or contractions which could be made to occur in both voluntary and the involuntary muscles of your viscera. Suppose also that the intensity could be orchestrated to produce sensations from pleasure through pain. Suppose additionally that the stress is augmented by the surprise element and through subliminal, that is unconsciously heard, vocal suggestion. You, the subject, are in your own home, very possibly totally unaware of any kind of outside interference, until you are spoken to via laser.[Note:1] You might suddenly realize that you, a human being, had become an instrument.

This type of operation, under development for some time by American intelligence, is called mind control. It is more ghastly than George Orwell could possibly have conceived because he never experienced it.

Only a few people understand the interrelationships between our magnificent technological and medical accomplishments and the military-industrial complex. These few are hampered in their attempts at communication by involvement in their own fields and by security requirements. Knowledge proliferates at a doubling rate greater than every two years. What is currently known is quickly dated. If you are working you are running to catch up. If you are not working you may be bogged down in family and community affairs.

We exist in our complexity, psyching ourselves with pseudoscientific games, psychological hype and a couple-of-hundred-years-old love affair with snake oil and cures from the fountain of youth. It is both the best of times and the worst of times. Our so-called freedom is mired down in bureaucracy, ruled by dated old men, and clutched by inertia, boredom and fatigue.

When I started building by case, I only wanted to prove that what was happening to me was technologically possible. Although my proof is mainly circumstantial evidence, it is known that anything which appears in the marketplace has usually been under government development for quite a long time before it filters into public consciousness.

Suppose you were motivated by a combination mind/body attack and suppose also that you were lucky enough or unlucky enough to have the intelligence and kind of background to sort the whole thing out. What would you do?

This book is an attempt to explain what I believe has happened to me. Others will attribute my account to many other things. From my point of view this is a true story no matter how ridiculous or neurotically distorted it may seem. I know that it can be used against me. I believe that the story line was designed by the intelligence community to fit their disinformation program. The purpose of the book is simply to present the possibilities. Perhaps the computer-age youngsters who will have to cope with these futuristic developments will not be as upset as I was.]]> runnyooze Other Discussions Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:30:28 -0500 http://www.christianfora.org/forum/read.php?79,14145,14145#msg-14145 interesting diseases and disorders (5 replies) http://www.christianfora.org/forum/read.php?79,14145,14145#msg-14145 Let's just say desperation mingled with curiosity can produce some interesting research. One won't necessarily find what one seeks, or what answers one's particular issues, but one can sometimes find some interesting information in the process. And being able to give "reasonable facsimile" names to things helps an awful lot when dealing with a cluster of situations brought about supernaturally rather than medically, which differ in some respect from similar medical afflictions but which bear sufficient similarity to allow for borrowing language from them to communicate what would otherwise be difficult to frame in human language.

Last night's discovery: PSAS (a.k.a. PGAD)
Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome
What it bes:
Quote:
Wikipedia
Persistent genital arousal disorder (also known as persistent sexual arousal syndrome or PSAS) results in a spontaneous and persistent genital arousal, with or without orgasm or genital engorgement, unrelated to any feelings of sexual desire. It was first documented by Dr. Sandra Leiblum in 2001, only recently characterized as a distinct syndrome in medical literature. Some physicians use the term Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome to refer to the condition in women..... In particular, it is not related to hypersexuality, sometimes known as nymphomania or satyriasis. In addition to being very rare, the condition is also frequently unreported by sufferers who may consider it shameful or embarrassing.

Physical arousal caused by this syndrome can be very intense and persist for extended periods, days or weeks at a time. Orgasm can sometimes provide temporary relief, but within hours the symptoms return. The symptoms can be debilitating, preventing concentration on mundane tasks. Some situations, such as riding in an automobile or train, vibrations from mobile phones, and even going to the toilet can aggravate the syndrome unbearably.

There is not enough known about persistent genital arousal disorder to definitively pinpoint a cause. Medical professionals think it is caused by an irregularity in sensory nerves, and note that the disease has a tendency to strike post-menopausal women in their 40s and 50s, or those who've undergone hormonal treatment. It can affect a person at any age.

Dr. Irwin Goldstein
Based on patients who either presented for evaluation to the Center for Sexual Medicine or who communicated by e-mail to the Institute for Sexual Medicine, we have gained data on this unusual sexual dysfunction. We propose new definitions based on existing definitions but await the medical community to consense these new definitions appropriately. Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome/Disorder may be considered as the persistent, recurrent or continuous ability to attain or maintain sufficient sexual excitement, causing personal distress. It may be expressed as excessive subjective excitement or excessive genital (lubrication, swelling, engorgement) or other somatic responses. Some patients are better classified as having Persistent Orgasmic Syndrome/Disorder. Persistent Orgasmic Syndrome/Disorder may be considered as the persistent, recurrent or continuous attainment of or need to attain orgasm following minimal or absent sexual stimulation and arousal, which causes personal distress. On the other hand, some patients are better classified as having Persistent Sexual Desire Disorder. Persistent Sexual Desire Disorder may be considered as the persistent, recurrent or continuous presence of sexual fantasies, thoughts, and/or desire for, or receptivity to, sexual activity, which causes personal distress.

Women with PSAS share common features of their sexual dysfunction. The most common is the torment and the ruling of their lives by the persistent sexual arousal. There is a universal feeling of despair in part because the medical community does not recognize the existence of the condition and because the patients feel that they will therefore have to live the rest of their lives with the PSAS-hell. Phrases mentioned by patients in this regard include, "my life has been sheer hell" and."I want my LIFE BACK!".

"Sitting is unbearable, sometimes causing pressure to orgasm. Standing is the only time I feel nothing. Sitting in a car is torture." "The opening of the vagina is just as sensitive and a mere touch will bring me to orgasm. My husband is very sympathetic and relieves the terrible pressure anytime I ask. Those close to me that I've told about this at first think it's funny and then realize that indeed it is not."

"It's so hard for me to feel any hope when I am in the middle of this. For the last couple of weeks I have just been practicing thinking that I may have to go on with my life in spite of this." "I have made such a wonderful life for myself and I am just so terrified that this will finally be the thing that pushes me over the edge. Because I am so blessed, I have so much to lose."

"I was constantly feeling overwhelming sensations of sexual arousal, which were purely physical and not accompanied by romantic or sexual fantasies. Basically I felt the need to have repeated orgasms which was never relieved by normal orgasmic experience." "I was so uncomfortable I thought about jumping off the roof just to make it go away."

What it bes NOT:
PSAS should not be confused with hypersexuality.
Quote:
Wikipedia
Hypersexuality is the desire to engage in human sexual behavior at a level high enough to be considered clinically significant. Hypersexuality is characterized by a debilitating need for frequent genital stimulation which, once achieved, may fail to result in the expected long-term sexual—or emotional—satisfaction. This dissatisfaction is what is believed to encourage the heightened frequency of sexual stimulation, as well as additional physiological and neurological symptoms....

The concept of hypersexuality replaces the older concepts of nymphomania (or furor uterinus) and satyriasis. Nymphomania was believed to be a female psychological disorder characterized by an overactive libido and an obsession with sex. In males the disorder was called satyriasis (for etymology of the words, see nymph and satyr). "Nymphomania" and "satyriasis" are no longer listed as specific disorders in the DSM-IV, though they remain a part of ICD-10.

The interested reader may 'Google' the terms "persistent genital arousal disorder" or "persistent sexual arousal syndrome" for more information.]]> Moriah Conquering Wind Other Discussions Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:58:33 -0500 http://www.christianfora.org/forum/read.php?79,11106,11106#msg-11106 random creativity (21 replies) http://www.christianfora.org/forum/read.php?79,11106,11106#msg-11106
