Then there are five places where the normal palm shows what researchers call a triradius-a wide-open letter Y formed by the junction of three lines. The crucial one is the axial triradius; on most palms it is just above the first flesh crease where hand joins wrist. If, in both hands, it is higher up, closer to the fingers, it may indicate inborn abnormalities from rubella or other causes...

Press-the-button relief depends on the fact that much perception of pain depends, in turn, on electrical nerve impulses passing through the thalamus, a junction box below the base of the brain. If the circuitry in the thalamus is interrupted or disrupted, even the in tractable pain of cancer may be allayed. The Ervin-Mark technique requires drilling holes in the skull (under a general anesthetic), then using elaborate stereoscopic instruments to place four electrodes at selected points in the brain, two of them in the thalamus itself. The electrodes are left in place and cause no pain...
