U.S. investigators increasingly confident directed-energy attacks behind Havana Syndrome

19. It was probably longer ago than I'm thinking.

At my age (73) the years and the decades all blur together.

I can say it was an absolutely fascinating analysis of the "Havana Syndrome" based on real science, a real understanding of how these things work. Not the kind of speculation and assumptions that are embedded in the current "Havana Syndrome" stuff.

Here are two articles from a bit more searching:

There are to be a lot more out there.

The problem with simply rolling over and accepting the "Havana Syndrome" thing is pure laziness. Humans are complicated. We are VERY capable of creating out own reality, of succumbing to all sorts of nonsense.

Our bodies hear what we say. If you spend your life saying, "I'm bound to get cancer" then don't be surprised when you get cancer. Personally, I consider myself the healthiest person I know. I've recovered from broken bones in record time. 24 hours after a Cesarean I was walking upright, with minimal pain. I had a fairly serious heart attack last December, but I still consider myself the healthiest person I know. And while I fully understand that we often get sick from things outside our control (my heart attack last December is an excellent example) I do think that having a positive attitude helps. A lot.

I have a friend on FB who genuinely has serious health issues. But it frustrates me that almost all she ever posts is her health issues. I understand that trying to have a positive attitude will not make those genuine health issues go away, but I just wish she would once, just ONCE say something that it not a complaint about how ill she is. But I can't post that on her page, because it would be genuinely insensitive and rude. Beyond rude. There's probably a stronger word that isn't occurring to me right now. So I never say anything like that. She is actually the reason that I've decided when on FB, if I can't say something nice, then I won't say something at all. The rare times she posts something not health related, I try to respond positively.
