    Do you consider type 2 diabetes a disease? Would you not say that most who
    suffer from that had a choice to live a healthier life in which wouldn’t
    have led to T2 diabetes? Just food for thought. ?

    I’ve read through all the posts however I feel that is a useful clip. My
    bro would like to get astounding with women of all ages. He picked up a lot
    from a website called Master Attraction. (Google it.) The strategies with
    regards to attracting chicks at clubs from Master Attraction got him his
    first fucks in a number of years. I became pissed however as I heard them
    all. Grrrr.

    Thanks for your comment. However, you may wish to update your neuroanatomy
    knowledge. What you mentioned has not been taught for a few decades.
    Specifically, the information I presented builds upon the fact that all
    neural substrates contain stem cells, which when stimulated increase the
    number of neurons in that substrate. As the length of my reply is limited,
    Google me and use one of my comment forms to contact me for further
    information if necessary. I can provide references and more info.

    Dendritic spines and branches extend with repetitive stimulation,
    plasticity…. I believe that’s what he was implying.

    and do not believe an addict EVER EVER EVER!! THEY LIE! from their bumholes
    and would sell their gran for a score!! addiction is like goin to grad
    school they can leave anytime they like but if they stay too long they
    graduate with flying colours!!! once an addict has been through this and is
    totally CONSUMED there is little or no hope unless the learnt hardwired
    addict behaviour ingrained in them is totally wiped from their hard drive
    and they reprogram their minds clean and NOT with 12step BS
