Before we discount *all* thoughts of the past, we should consider that all that was said is not necessarily incorrect, just because its old. We must take in *all* the information from *all* sources, then make conclusions based on our own intellect. Just because CH'ers have more brain matter is not necessarily the *only* thing to look at. Example: People who have bulging disks in thier spine often go through debilitating surgeries and other remedies in order to be free from the back pain. The doctor does an x-ray and says "see, theres the cause of your pain!" However, someone had the bright idea of doing the same for people who did not have any back pain and you know what? Many of them had bulges too! (but no pain). I think we sometimes tend to think that there is only one solution to any given problem. I see this at work all the time. "Were loosing hundreds dollars a day because of someting. Lets find out what *it* is!" See the mentality. It could quite possibly be more than one thing, and most often it is. So CH'ers have more grey matter. Do we have headaches all the time, no, it comes and goes. Does that mean that the grey matter comes and goes?, I dont think so. This must mean that there is something else going on. Some of us go for years pain free, then wham! In the past I have had what seemed to be releif by chiropractic adjustments. I would begin a cycle, then get adjustments, then the cycle would end after. As we all know, theres no way to tell if that one thing was *it*. I doubt it. However, I had also adjusted my diet to include more fresh fruits and veggies, less fat and meat. Also, how the food is combined has a dramatic affect on how many toxins are produced. I feel what brings these things on is a combination of several things ... when the combination is wrong, wham. When the combination is right, life if beautiful. Lets take off the blinders. Just my $.02
