Non-invasive LTL

Sat, 01/12/2008 - 01:04

 

I have LTL. Years ago one of my doctors told me your brain can be accessed through your nostril without cutting into your head.

With advances in surgery techniques I heard about "gamma radiation" for brain cancer. With a 3 point locator, the cancer can be eliminated and your veins remain in place undisturbed.

For LTL, using a 3 point locator and a probe sending small electrical charges to your brain, disruptions could be located and eliminated.

The probe works the same way as mapping, so when a mal area is located, why cant this procedure be implemented?

Once there is no activity in that area detected by the probe, continue forward until no other activity is found.

Any thoughts?
