Pain is like an Alarm System

3/2/2018

 
Most people think pain is an indicator of the amount of tissue damage present in the body. The belief is that high amounts of pain equate to a large injury, and a small amount of pain equates to a small injury. However, through extensive research, it has been shown that pain has little correlation to the amount of tissue damage. For example, a paper cut may cause intense pain, while a broken bone may go unnoticed. In 2013, when Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware sustained a horrific leg fracture, he reported, "it was one of those things where I couldn't believe it. I honestly didn't feel the pain. It was more a shock."

"At the center of the alarm system is your brain, which beeps when it THINKS something is going wrong or is potentially dangerous."

Kevin Ware’s story perfectly demonstrates that pain is more like an alarm system. It is an evolutionary provided and naturally built system designed to keep you out of danger. At the center of the alarm system is your brain, which beeps when it THINKS something is going wrong or is potentially dangerous. If the system is healthy, it warns you when something is wrong just as your home alarm rings when a burglar breaks a window or your car alarm sounds if a car thief tries to wiggle your door open.

"Just as a smoke detector can be set off in the absence of fire, a home alarm in the absence of a burglary, and a car alarm when you accidently press the panic button, your body’s alarm system sounds off signals of pain in the absence of any REAL danger or threat."

However, just as a smoke detector can be set off in the absence of fire, a home alarm in the absence of a burglary, and a car alarm when you accidently press the panic button, your body’s alarm system sounds off signals of pain in the absence of any REAL danger or threat. The alarm may sound if a bird flies into a window or if you accidentally open the door after you have set the security code. In both of these cases there is no real danger, but the alarm rings in an effort to protect you. For safety, it is far superior for the alarm to be more sensitive and have false alarms, rather than to be hard to trip and not protect you in the case of a true threat.  
​

Just as other alarms can misfire, your internal protective mechanism can do the same. Fear, stress, endorphins and adrenaline, anxiety, depression, lack of sleep, overactivity, poor nutrition, sickness, and many more factors can influence your alarm system’s perception of danger, increase sensitivity, and lead to a greater protective experience of pain. In Kevin Ware’s story, a large amount of endorphins and adrenaline as well as a massive NCAA crowd slowed his alarm system from signaling. Being familiar with the numerous factors that turn up or turn down the sensitivity of your internal alarm system is the first step in understanding how to better calibrate in the presence of injury. ​

Home security alarm systems can be classified as wired or wireless. The mode of installation differs with the wireless being more convenient, faster, and easier.

It's a wealth of information, and I think it will be useful to many people who are curious about things like how a home alarm works when there is no burglary and how a car alarm works when the panic button is accidentally pressed. I appreciate you sending me the link to this article.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.

Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
