Single Mom with three sons and one daughter.

Disabled Registered Nurse (still licensed), I now have started a second

career based upon my life-long love of antique and vintage jewellery.

I study Ancient Civ for many years with a concentration in

Sindonology. Being disabled has given me lots of time to study.

I try to learn at-least one new thing each day~ really~ I'm a major nerd.

I'm also a Facebook junkie, so just ask. You can reach me by email at:

We know that spinal cord injury causes lack of sensation which, depending upon the severity of the injury, can also cause paralysis.

If someone's spinal cord got damaged 1,000 years ago, he'd have some level of paralysis. Examination would yield a measurable result consistent with knowledge of that civilization.

If someone's spinal cord got damaged 500 years ago, he'd have some level of paralysis. Examination would yield a measurable result that is added to what is already known; it does not supersede the previous examination.

If someone's spinal cord got damaged 100 years ago, he'd have some level of paralysis. Examination would yield another measurable result. This would then be additional information to what has been objectively learned prior.

New information does not cancel 13-15 yr old research findings that are valid, published, reviewed to peer scrutiny. The studies were flawlessly (virtually) performed and the results carefully documented and scrutinized. Being 14-15 yr published lend to more, not less validity as the data has been reviewed by so-many more physicians, scientists, and academicians.

If someone's spinal cord got damaged 10 years ago, he'd have some level of paralysis. Examination would yield more information by measurable result.

The human body's response to noxious stimuli doesn't change in 10-15 yr.

Research on human's disease response is, mutation that develops in millions of years(evolution) notwithstanding, the medical research with human subject will always show the same result independent of social mores. It is objective.

Research results on objective findings do not "progress/change with new research, no matter what the condition." Believing that objective testing into human response/ behavior changes with new research is inconsistent with reality.

Additional research (new) can add to the "information pool", in parlance but it never replaced previous legitimate, objective, peer reviewed research studies. That is just nonsense.View Thread
