--thoughts about m.s.( multiple sclerosis)--

   i noticed a person walking today, that i believe had "M.S."...as i understand, a person with M.S. has issues with nerves that "cross-fire", to another nerve close by, causing unwanted flinches, and inaccurate motor function( not the desired motion, or smoothness)...

   i meditated on what little good i could do the man, he was walking/marching( a long distance i believe), which seemed like a good idea, as stopping walking, biking, ect...might cause those abilities to be lost much faster, the most important thing that occurred to me( at that moment), was that, if this person walked more slowly, and deliberately, the man would be developing a "muscle-firing pattern" that was correct( but slow...), the slowness is of use, as i feel low voltages are less likely to "cross-fire"...like "plug-wires" on a car often do...

a flash-in-the-pan--

   i feel, that if we see the body's nerves, in an "automotive fashion"( like spark-plug-wires), the concept of "cross-firing" is less mysterious, as most mechanics know that a "cross-fire", that occurs regularly, builds a "carbon-track", and the miss-fire becomes constant...the same mechanic, could also tell you, that if you move the plug-wire a little( away from the metal, or other plug wire), that the "cross-firing" will stop...also, the longer the plug-wire does not "cross-fire", the more road-grime, dirt, ect...builds up, thereby healing/sealing the "cross-fire" site, on the plug-wire...unfortunately, in a spark-plug-wire, we can not lower the voltage, to stop the spark from jumping( if we could, this would work)--

conclusion--

   seen medically, the voltages the body uses to work the muscles, do have variable voltages, as i feel a slow movement, is created by a lower voltage firing-pattern( and a quick one, the reverse...a high voltage)...i feel this indicates, that, slow regular firing patterns( low voltages), like moving the head in a small circle, or moving the arms slowly, would allow a person to "train" the body, to perform a specific movement, that utilizes "low-voltage actuation" of the muscles...in short, the principal seems to be that, the less the nerve "cross-fires", the faster it will "heal-up", like a plug-wire that has been moved away from the undesired "ark-point", in a car's engine...and thus has been "rehabilitated", or "repaired"--

real-world practice of this idea--

   i see this concept, as being present in the "tai chi" martial art, the muscle firing patterns learned there, are developed by repeating a slow repetitive form( or motion), over, and over, until the body has memorized the pattern, and the body's muscles have been "trained"( and the pattern is "learned"),  "laying in wait", ready to repeat the motions, at a moments notice...very rapidly, in one, fluid, succinct, motion--

rehab summary--

  once a basic muscle pattern is learned( by moving slowly), modifications to the pattern are easily deployed, allowing more and more variations, of the pattern being trained, until unlimited modifications of the pattern are possible, and full range of movement is regained--

  example--

    i suggest, that if a person's left hand, and arm, works poorly from an injury, a simple pattern of lifting the hand could be trained, once this was mastered, at a slow speed( low voltage signals to the arm muscles), without "cross-firing"( erratic movement), the speed, or strength of the movement, could be increased( higher and higher voltages to the muscle groups), after this simple pattern was mastered, it could be slightly modified( perhaps by raising the arm, and rotating the hand, from palm up, to palm down), after this was mastered, the pattern could be modified once again, this process, would then repeat, until unlimited modifications of the initial pattern is achieved...and the person has been "rehabilitated"--

   also of note...this concept may be useful, or already in use, for persons with other neurological issues( brain damage, "M.D.", ect...)...

  i hope this idea is of some good, to any physicians out there, treating america, or those abroad( ask your doctor if this is good sense, or total "B.S."...)--


 best wishes, john kruschke--
