Hey everyone,

I've been meaning to share this too. This video of Stanford pain doctor Sean Mackey is really awesome. Stanford is on the forefront of pain research and does a lot of work concerning fMRI and brain mapping related to pain and brain changes. He discusses neuroplasticity and gives an in depth look at ketamine, LDN and Botox (both sympathetic and peripheral use). The neuroplasticity findings are quite interesting and validate my personal belief that the more we focus on things besides our pain and suffering the better off we are and the more likely our nervous systems are to normalize some.

At the end he discusses a study on the the ameliorating effects of love on pain. I knew it was healing!

Overall, this video is both informative and entertaining to watch. Mackey is a funny and engaging academic.
