“An optimist
is one who
sees a light where there
is none.
A pessimist
is one who
blows it out.”


B.J. Palmer

“The brain can recover after injury through active repetitive action.
That's why if you don't use the limb, you tend to lose it.
You may be able to get the brain to reconnect by stimulating it constantly.”


- Dr. John Chae
