Our Bodies Are Quite Interesting.......

Elliot Krane in the first video, explains the disease of chronic pain, and the theories involved. He explains how sometimes although we think of pain as just a temporary thing for some people it is a ongoing disease.



My learning goal, is to fully understand the chronic pain disease, that some people around the world are experiencing. Why is the nervous system doing this? Why is this not being researched?

In the video Elliot Krane tries to answer some of these question or learning goals above, by explaining that the nervous  system sometimes cannot reach or does not reach the correct box. Causing the touch sensors around your body to feel pain instead of just a normal touch.  I know understand how our bodies can get nervous system sensors mixed up, and cause weird, and unusual things to happen like pain touching.

In this second video Alan Russel Provides information, about our bodies, and how they can almost regenerate themselves. He also talks about how if we could learn how to capitalize on this we could potentially defeat types of cancers, and other diseases, that are common among people today.




My learning goals for this Ted talk, were to know why, and how the body would regenerate itself?
Have we been doing research on this and for how long?
Could our bodies themselves potentially be the cure for diseases that we catch?

I know understand though how some of the functions in our bodies work. After watching this video Alan Russel does explain many things about our bodies natural way of defending itself against diseases.
