Humes argued that today diseases of this type, including both the physiological symptoms associated with chronic neuromuscular tension (such as headache, backache, insomnia, constipation, asthma, and so on), and the cluster of cognitive and emotional distortions which come under the general heading of anxiety-neurosis, are so widespread that the medical profession should stipulate the existence of an epidemic. He urged the direction of research attention to the use of cannabis as a specific remedy...
...stimulation of an adrenalin "rush. "Pyromania is a special case of this adrenalin autoaddiction. Until the discovery that amphetamine is addictive there remained some question about adrenalin, but it now appears that anything that can give temporary (symptomatic) relief can be addictive. The relief cannabis provides from anxiety and neuromuscular tension is cumulative--not temporary and symptomatic, hence its use as a relaxant and tonic herb and as a detoxicant...

...forth movements of Kennedy's head and body, leading some people to believe that he was struck by bullets from two directions: from the rear by Oswald and from the front by someone else. But medical witnesses told the Rockefeller panel that the movements were caused by a neuromuscular reaction to the bullet entering from behind and that there was no medical evidence that Kennedy was shot from any other direction. In fact, one witness said, the motions of Kennedy's body could not possibly have been caused by a frontal bullet's impact. The report said...
...Barnabas Hospital in New York. Cooper has found that stimulating the cerebellum electrically apparently increases its inhibitory action on the cerebrum. Cooper has implanted electronic "pacemakers" upon the cerebellums of several epileptics, as well as patients suffering from stroke-caused paralysis, cerebral palsy and from dystonia, a neuromuscular defect in which permanently flexed muscles twist and distort the limbs. The device, which stimulates the cerebellum with low-voltage jolts, has produced relief in most of the 70 cases in which it has been used. One muscular 26-year-old man suffered from daily epileptic seizures before he came to Cooper...
