I've just had an opportunity to chat with Áine, who wants you all to know she is doing a tad better, in this wise: she can now sit in her wheelchair without screaming. She actually made a couple of jokes and was willing to laugh without collapsing in tears/

Now, to what does she owe this remarkable improvement? Her report is that the thing that "turned her around", so to speak, was taking off her knickers. She said exlicitly that she was wearing her NEW nightgown and NO knickers. For one thing this makes it significantly easier to handle the consequences of drinking a lot of water, as instructed.

The conversation of course immediately centered on this interest phenomenological item, and we wondered whether the removal of knickers was a systemic enabler, in some way that has hitherto been roundly missed by medical science, or whether it was particular to back and muscular problems.

I am incluned to support the former theory, since it seems that for most poeple ninety per cent of well being is centered around those parts of the nervous systems to which knickers appertain. If they (kncikers) act as an arbitrary barrier to the normal and natural interaction of these parts of the nervous system with symbiotic elements in the environment, it would make sense that removing such a barrier would facilitate nature's own healing processes, so to speak...

However, her statement should be examined carefully for indications of system-wide applicability.

The Goddess reports, "Ever since I have taken off my knickers, I have been feeling b etter!! And, I have a witness!!"

This is extremely gratifying since it lends an atmosphere of objectivity and measurability to the report.

She goes on, "In fact, since I have taken off my knickers, Hubby and I are both feeling better! " (No further explanation was offered on this anomalous observation).

" So I would say, from my experience, that knickerlessness is the "way to go", pardon the expression."

I would appreciate any scientific observations available from Catters with similar experiences as to the systemic impact of knickerlessness and whether it is a local or global facilitation of relief of affect.

What do you think??
