The false idea of many a disease arises by (according to Tom A. Williams, 1909) ..

“…auto-suggestion fortified by the hetero-suggestions of medical men not conversant in the danger of perpetuating by unwary remarks an exaggerated solicitude which they might have easily removed, or is more often the direct production of medical suggestion made during real functional deficit for which the doctor has been consulted.”

It’s called a “name it and claim it” disease.

You can increase the size of your core body and ambulators (arms and legs) by “having” emotions.

Or is it the emotions “having” us?

This increase of volume within an ORGAN, LIMB, or WHOLE BODY has been well-documented by non-respiratory plethysmography.

Someone I knew could routinely increase and decrease the circumference of his thighs using an Aikido breath technique.

(Consult “Yawn Your Weight Away,” Chapter 9 of Yes No Maybe: Chronobiotic Nutrition, 2004, 2010.)

Emotions can instantaneously change the electrical resistance of the skin from 4,000 to 60,000 ohms (first documented by Dr. C. Fere in 1888).

But it’s not just skin resistance – emotions can generate dramatic changes in milliamps without being hooked up to an electrical current.

Emotion is “energy in motion.”

Emotion “moves” us, especially our respiratory, circulatory, secretory, visceral, and muscular systems.

F.W. Peterson and C.G. Jung did extensive word association tests (1907), and wrote …

“… excluding the effect of attention, we find that every stimulus accompanied by an emotion causes a rise in the electric current, and directly in proportion to the liveliness and actuality of the emotion aroused. The galvanometer is therefore a measurer of the amount of emotional tone, and becomes a new instrument of precision in psychological research.”

And it’s pretty much been that way for over 100 years …

… until the world discovers my system of Body Language Analysis, capable of running circles around galvanometers and other biofeedback devices (electromyographs, electrodermographs, electroencephalographs, feedback thermometers, etc.) – USING NO INSTRUMENTATION WHATSOEVER. :)
