I see where your coming from with the idea that certain cancers could have been avoided by different lifestyle changes but again I don't agree. I do not see the causes of cancer as being so simple. I know many people who have lived very long, healthy lives but who were the biggest chain smoking...

Sorry, perhaps I went too far bringing up such an extreme/taboo subject and I am also sorry if my opinion on that subject may offend or hurt any other person. I tend to find it best to be open about it as I find the deadly silence around that subject to be a killer. However, I do realize other...

From my own perspective, I do not know what has caused my illnesses. Could be genetic, could easily be radioactive fall out from Chernobyl....Who knows. I have treated myself holistically and in doing so I feel that there is a real possibility that my mind and body work together. I think my...

In regards to my health, I do actually take an approach where I try to take as much control over it as I can. I actually use mainly alternative therapies, as conventional medicine does not offer much for what is actually wrong with me. I find that with conventional methods people turn up at a...

Not one of us controls where or what we are born into. That is the main reason that I believe we do not have nearly as much control over our lives as we think we do. Behaviour patterns are built up from the earliest years that we are on this planet and I believe there is so much of our lives...

Alright, so the characters that I most identify with are : Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle (She moves me in the way that Meryl Streep in Bridges of Madison County, does for you sumone....I admit that Meryl Streep in that movie reminds me a little of myself as well) Anyway, Sophie in Howl's...

This guy Karl Bushby is walking around the world at the moment and he walked across the Bering Strait and into Russia. The ice sheet was breaking up and it looked like hell. He foolishly didn't have a visa for Russia and walked in with a gun that he had in case of bears in Alaska. Needless to...

Hey Lurker, The change to bass is one I have thought about doing too!! When I was in my final year at high school I had to have a second instrument for final exams. I wanted to choose bass but it was not allowed as the bass and cello are too similar. Bizarrely, the exam board did allow people...

Hey, I just found the documentary that I saw. I have to go to bed now but I'm going to watch it again tomorrow as I haven't seen it for years. I can't say synesthesia is something that hinders me in any way. I wouldn't want to switch it off. It is just there and I have always thought in this...

I actually don't think I have a very good memory. My synesthesia doesn't really add to my mathematical abilities either but there are some who it does. I think that perhaps for me it helps my artistic side more. I don't really know if it makes me any better at anything it is just there and I...

Haha, Poetic Justice, I'm sure they could rewire me with NLP but I can't imagine how dull life would be without my colours and strange zig zag structures:mno: No I'll keep my synesthesia, thanks.... Wyote, the guy in the film is really interesting.... I have a friend (actually I'm sad to say ex...

Yeah, I just thought that everyone saw in colour until I heard about synesthesia. I think that non synesthetes don't see anything when they think about most things like dates, months, days, numbers and letters. Where as I see so much. It depends on how I am thinking about it but counting up...

Hey Wyote, If you see days and months of the year with colours (that are always the same) then you are a synesthete. Have you looked into it? It is pretty interesting.

Cello as well, Lurker.....Started when I was five and had a dragon of a teacher. She decided, by the time I was seven, that I was going to be the next Jaqueline due Pre (she knew her and had played with her).....The woman was terrifying and I absolutely hated the cello because of her. Was forced...

Hey, Is anyone else on here a synesthete? Synesthesia is a cross wiring of the senses and there are many different types. In my case, I see colours (which are always the same) when thinking of numbers, letters, names, days of the weeks, months of the year etc.... I also see them set out...
