We know the brain works on electrical impulses. We know there are chemicals which affect it, and we know that some drugs poke and prod those chemicals. The talk therapy that I'm referring to is not the many years of mumbo jumbo that people are ridiculing here. I'm talking about the behavioral therapies that help people figure out different ways to look at a problem, and devise a means to cope with situations in their lives. Perhaps that does a certain amount of brain rewiring. I don't know. As an aside, Steve had a brain MRI two weeks ago after seeing a neurologist about headaches. The MRI showed that he had several strokes a long time ago. They didn't say how many years ago. All I can say is he must have been rewiring his brain all along because nobody noticed. Also, we know that one of the 5 arteries supplying his heart was completely closed and inoperable two years ago. At the time of the angiogram that diagnosed the problem, Steve's body was already building tributary arteries to supply the blood to his heart. There was too much damage to his heart from his second heart attack for the surgeon to do a bypass, so they just waited for him to get better first. In the meantime, his body built up so many tributaries that the bypass is no longer needed. His heart is back to an injection fraction of 48, with 50 being normal. Go figure. Human bodies are miraculous things.
