WKPD: "Beyond the first few decades after the initial invasion, Roman historians generally mention Britannia only in passing. Thus, most knowledge of Roman Britain has derived from archaeological investigations, and the epigraphic evidence lauding the Britannic achievements of an Emperor of Rome, such as Hadrian (r. 117–38) and Antoninus Pius (r. 138–61)". Of administrative records, which must once have been huge, nothing survived the Dark Ages. We know the Roman names for only a few of the settlements. We don't know the Roman names for the roads, nor the size of the population, nor (even approximately) the acreage of cultivated land; for much of the period we don't know which legions were in Britain. The most famous document in Romano-British history, when the emperor wrote to the citizens to tell them that they'd have to defend themselves from the barbarians - i.e. that no troops would be forthcoming - is now believed to be a misattribution.<br /><br />But I digress; my point was merely that you should be glad that such evidence as you have of Indian society has survived.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-30480099842565791562013-04-26T05:38:29.576-07:002013-04-26T05:38:29.576-07:00Nice to hear that Skyler, thanks.Nice to hear that Skyler, thanks.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-76164664221303617212013-04-26T05:38:03.783-07:002013-04-26T05:38:03.783-07:00Kevin, if people seek your help because they belie...Kevin, if people seek your help because they believe you can heal them, you can strong influence them – by virtue of that very fact that they believe you can heal them.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-70469829870996785222013-04-26T05:34:26.950-07:002013-04-26T05:34:26.950-07:00I’d be surprised if that were the case dearieme.

Is every condition which improves as a result of a placebo effect or psychosomatic healing a "psychosomatic disorder"? <br /><br />Good question. I'm afraid so. That's why when applying medical treatments to psychosomatic illness they are limited to treating the symptoms only, through the acute and chronic stages of the illness until it kills them. They have no cures and even the pretended cures are sometimes less successful than placebo effect results. Research is usually doctored to show it has a slight advantage over placebo effect before it is introduced to the market. There are no cures in medicine.<br /><br />"Or does psychosomatic healing affect conditions that are not psychological in origin?"<br /><br />Psychosomatic stress can be the cause of them. A person has an argument with his wife, leaves in the car but he attention is still stuck in the argument and not on the driving, causing him to have an accident. If he injures himself in the accident the trauma if not handled can prolong healing. If handled with Psychosomatic Healing injury time can be halved. If not handled the physical can heal but the pain can linger in the injured area for a lifetime causing all kinds of complications<br /><br />Accumulated physical pain and loss brings about a reduction of consciousness, a reduction of physical health and a reduction of the will to live to a point where the organism actively, if often slyly, seeks death.<br />http://www.psychosomatic-healing.co.nz/dianetics.htmlKevin John Owenhttp://www.psychosomatic-healing.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-25135660691653026802013-04-24T22:55:37.028-07:002013-04-24T22:55:37.028-07:00"Here is where the power of suggestion can ma..."Here is where the power of suggestion can make a major difference.
