I just wanted to let you all know something interesting that just happened to me. I had an ultrasound for my thyroid, which is slightly enlarged because of an autoimmune condition (and I am really angry that my body would attack itself, but I'm trying to convince it otherwise). I started noticing pressure about 4 years ago though I'd been on medication for 12 years before that. They said it was slightly enlarged but no big deal. I learned to live with the discomfort. Recently I started getting concerned about it again. It has been harder to swallow and feels like the pain of swollen lymph nodes when I swallow. So I thought the thyroid must be getting bigger. (Worry, worry, worry.) So I had another ultrasound. The results are that each lobe of the gland is almost 1 centimeter smaller than the first test four years ago. That means that the thyroid couldn't be causing more discomfort than before. The very day that I compared the test results and made this realization, the discomfort greatly decreased and swallowing was much easier. I believe that the tms monster knows that concern for my thyroid is a great distraction for me and has been using it for a while now. I just thought I'd share how knowledge and the mind are so intimately connected. I wish I could have the same positive results without tests at all. Anyway, I hope this interested some of you.
Yep its fabricating evidence all the time, its our job to discern false evidence from true ones, but this is very hard sometimes because its in our nature to accept truths based on indications and i guess the bad policeman mr.gremlin uses it much to his advantage.
