I think when we get the current admin out of the Big White House, we're going to see huge advances in things like stem cell treatments that will help all sorts of problems.

I'm a Discovery Health Channel addict. I remember years and years ago, they showed a man who had phantom limb pain in his arm -- felt like his hand was closed extra tightly, even though he no longer had a hand. They put a mirror at an angle to his opposite hand so that his brain would get a mental image of two hands in front of his body. They worked with him on opening and closing the existing hand while watching in the mirror. Over time, the phantom hand released its grip. I believe those studies were done around here somewhere -- Boston. Boston's got amazing research going on now.

I think we ALL have a lot to look forward to. With lots of and good researchers, the future's getting much-much brighter
