Well, well!

 

Pavlov's experiments and implications therefrom...

Pavlov really did lay the foundation for an innovative, complementary, medicine;

psychosomatic psychiatry.  He showed it possible to activate a gland from afar.

On condition the animals are conscious and healthy and expect something good;

or know something tasty is coming and remember what happened at other times.

Otherwise, they'd never have looked at the place where meat powder is about to

appear, while licking their lips vigorously!

Maybe people will say, "We know that already; like adrenaline: fight and flight." .

"Right!" I shall reply:

"And hence, we don't need more science for fleeing or fighting.  We know how to

warn others of what will happen if they don't obey orders or don't stop hurting us, 

About warfare, we know more than enough."

What we need is co-operative science on how to keep wise and healthy in a changing

environment. Comimg around to the same point - time and again - can be wonderful!

As Winston Churchill recommended:
"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time, a tremendous whack."

Pavlov's data make a pivotal point: glands are affected from outside the head. The implications
of external control over brain function - during social relationships - call for global recognition.
