Hi J.,

That was a wonderful response; it's still evoking ideas in me head.

take care, bless Thee, Uncle Sally

yes, J., but few labs will perform it since it requires electro-shock and
water-boarding.

"Living things are creatures of habit until they die."

those who believe in re-incarnation through karma would add that habits
don't stop working after the death of this body.

"He's working out is probably not working his heart.
Just like dog-walkers (larger dogs); they're not working their dog's heart,
They're just providing thier dogs a community "dog-litter box".
It makes them feel better that they're "doing something" "

this is very interesting J., a kind of zen parable, I think. my
interpretation is you are suggesting this is a magical act on some level
designed to assure the psyche that you are taking action on some problem you
can't ignore, or as a kind of magical insurance policy.

this ties in with my own observation of what i call "magical displacement'
in myself : certain acts i do that give me the feeling i am dealing with
something but, when held up to the light of reason, are about as logical as
throwing salt over the shoulder :)

I think you may also be suggesting (correct me if I am out to lunch here)
that since walking does not give you any aerobic benefits since it does not
reach a requisite level of cardio intensity and maintain that level long
enough to trigger the well-documented beneficial effects of
re-vascularization and new vascularization ... yes ?

The part about the dog-litter box I am still meditating upon :)

While you're mediatating on that, a thought came to me.
Why would a person who, you think is at risk for cancer want new vasculization?
