Left foot attached to right leg saves foot

Doctors in China use many principles of Predictive Innovation® to save a man’s foot when it was cut off in an accident.

The man’s foot was cut off because of an accident. The damage to the leg prevented the foot from being immediately reattached. So there was a dilemma.

Must re-attach the foot to the leg immediately so it doesn’t die; but, we can’t attach the foot until the leg heals and grows.

One way to handle dilemmas is to invert then rephrase. Instead of immediately reattaching the foot to the same leg they attached it to the other leg. This was a great idea because the patient would not be able to walk while the other leg was growing and healing after moving it to the correct leg. Attaching the foot to the patients other leg is the perfect environment for the foot while waiting.

Other approaches have been tried such as freezing the organ to be reattached. Current technology can’t reliably prevent damage from ice crystals.

Another improvement could be using stem cells cultured from the patient and sprayed onto a growth matrix. This could accelerate the grow and the healing when the foot is reattached.

Another inversion is to let the foot die and attach a cloned foot. That technology has already been used for less complicated body parts.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that physical pain and intense feelings of social rejection hurt individuals in the same way. More confirmation of NLP.

If memories of emotional pain are felt the same way as current physical pain, that could mean the pain of PTSD is horrific. Fortunately this also shows there is a fast non-drug way to stop PTSD or other emotional pain.

Peer-to-Peer Learning Disrupting Poverty

I’ve been promoting peer-to-peer technology and education for 15 years. USA is ignoring the advice, India is doing it and succeeding.

Michigan is complaining that it can’t cut spending below $7316 per student per year for 12 years but India is able to train engineers in 6 months for nearly free and teenager Babar Ali is providing elementary education for free using the peer-to-peer model. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8299780.stm

More importantly the people actually getting it done are avoiding the top-down hierarchies of established charities and government. They are doing it themselves and helping others to also do it themselves.
