Answers isn't exactly a scientific tome of knowledge on human anatomy, but I'm quite certain that if you asked a thousand coroners if they've ever seen anyone "choke themselves to death," you'd get a thousand No's. At the same time, you'd probably get a few coroners saying, "But I've seen cases where people were choked to death by someone else, and it was made to look like they choked themselves to death..."
So how did she really die, then?
The official story about this woman's death, of course, is bunk. So how did she really die? |

If you're the least bit curious about human anatomy, the exhibit is quite educational. Looking at the muscles, tendons, capillaries and nerves of the human body, you can't help but be humbled and awed by the complexity of the design. The blood supply to the liver is simply breathtaking. It looks like a mass of roots from a large garden vegetable, turned upside down and colored red. Your heart pumps 1.5 liters of blood through your liver every minute! If that's not a reason to give up eating toxic chemicals, I don't know what is. |
| Anyway, this exhibit is fascinating if you have any interest whatsoever in human anatomy. But at the same time, it's also a bit creepy. Personally, I couldn't stand the smell. I'm not talking about the dead bodies, mind you, I'm referring to all the visitors wearing their noxious perfumes, body lotions and fragrance products while trouncing around in the enclosed exhibit space. The dead people didn't stink at all. It was the live ones who practically caused me to flee through an emergency exit to catch some fresh air. |

At that point he and the Roman Catholic Church struck a deal: As a man of science, Descartes would restrict himself to the study of human anatomy, leaving the mind and soul to the care of the church.4
In fact, I have found little evidence that the history of mind-body medicine is best seen as beginning in a moment of original philosophical sin, which is then followed by a series of brave efforts to set things right again. |

REPPED: (Warning: Contains graphic descriptions of human anatomy.) This past weekend, I worked up the courage to visit the Body Worlds exhibit in a local science museum. This is where they take the bodies of dead volunteers (who volunteered before they died, obviously), strip off their skin and body fat, then prop them up into dynamic poses where they are plasticized through a rather technical chemical process involving aspartame, sodium nitrite and yeast extract. Think Weekend at Bernie's, without the skin.
I'm not making this up. Click here to see the Body Worlds website for yourself. |

In this medical culture, elite healers are not marked out by their hands-on knowledge of human anatomy or physiology. Rather, the 'verrey parfit practisour' was one 'grounded in astro no mye'; one who could tell the very hours of each patient's lifespan by 'magik naturel'.10 They rarely, if ever, touch the bodies of their patients, diagnosing instead on the basis of astrological charts, visual examination of the patient's blood and urine, and close attention to the patient's spoken testimony and social position (see Figures 1 and 2). |
| D of human anatomy. The affinity of the organs to the elemental substances signified the likeness between the organs and the processes of which the different elements were emblematic. Each organ therefore also partook of the other attributes characteristic of the element/process with which it shared symbolic substance. |
| Patients, practitioners, and quacks did all share a basic understanding of the body—the humoural model discussed in the Introduction—and were increasingly aware of the explanatory potential of human anatomy. But this shared model was very flexible; understandings of the nature of the humours, their actions in causing or mediating disease, and their relationships with both the environment and different medical interventions were subject to interpretation and reinterpretation by all parties in the medical encounter. |

REPPED:
One of the indisputable facts of human anatomy is that the head is attached to the rest of the body. Yet, when the time comes to seek treatment for a medical condition or symptom, many doctors seem to forget all about the head, and the brain that it houses. I strongly believe that they are wrong.
Today scientists and doctors are just beginning to uncover the mysteries that lie deep within the brain, at a great new frontier of medical research. |

Modern Medical Treatment: The Disease Model
The Cause of Mental Problems: Disease
The Renaissance brought a steady progression of new insights into human anatomy, physiology and disease, but it was not until the work of Louis Pasteur in the 1800s that the door to modern medicine was swung wide open. The application of Pasteur's discoveries was important to every branch of medicine. No one questioned that bacteria could cause disease following Pasteur. But what would be the application in psychiatry? |

The practical, diagnostic correlations of the subtle human anatomy with medicine were advanced in 1967 by neuropsychiatrist Shafica Karagulla when she investigated the applications of clairvoyance for aura diagnosis. Karagulla worked with a team of sensitives, matching their psychic perceptions of internal organs, auric colors, and the functional integrity of the chakras with known physical pathologies. |

By recognizing these parts of human anatomy, medicine can try to understand and apply unique and effective subtle energetic methods of healing disease. In addition to the meridian system which forms the physical-etheric interface, we have looked at other systems originating primarily at the level of the etheric body. In health and illness, the chakra-nadi system is equally important to the meridians in maintaining the proper physiologic and endocrine balance of the physical body. |
| Knowledge of this part of subtle human anatomy has been known and taught since the earliest Egyptian dynasties. The astral body is a component of the total multidimensional human being and, like the etheric body, is usually superimposed over the physical frame. These octaves are distinct, but not separate, within our being. The astral body is composed of matter of energetic frequencies well beyond the normal human perceptual range, and it is invisible to all but the trained clairvoyant eye. |
| As the New Age technologies evolve, and imaging systems are developed which can substantiate this author's picture of extended multidimensional human anatomy, vibrational medicine will become more widely accepted by those within the more orthodox medical establishment.

| The Discovery & Development ofX-Rays: Early Medical Models of Using Energy for Diagnosis & Treatment
One discovery that aided modern medicine, and opened new windows on a more penetrating observation of human anatomy, was the diagnostic application of x-rays. X-rays provided a critical look into a previously unseen world within the human body. Along with the development of diagnostic x-ray equipment has come the evolution of our understanding of electromagnetic radiation biophysics. |

Thus, in nature you will find a counterpart for every bit of human anatomy.
Man's challenge in dealing with illness is to be smart enough to find that counterpart with which to heal himself. "To make the search easier," writes Dr. Gordon, "the Creator stamped all objects medically beneficial to mankind" to resemble the diseased part in shape, color, structure, or some other symbolic way. That means if you had jaundice, you might be treated with a mixture based on eviscerated yellow frog. Red skin blotches might call for animal blood or red fruit juice. |

Aura Soma extended the classical Vedic model of a color-coded human anatomy with epicenters in the individual chakras. Wall postulated a human body wrapped in distinct color bands from red to violet, feet to head, intermeshing at the borders. Whole areas of the torso, not just the vortices of chakra centers, vibrate at a particular color frequency. |
| Every system is a holographic replica of the human anatomy. Each microsystem is intimately connected to the macrosystem. All systems potentially can be used both diagnostically and therapeutically. All micropoints are bidirectional patterns with relatively low electrical impedance. "Holographic integrity not only defines the energetics of our bodies, but expresses the reality of our universe and of each and every one of its parts. |

Such patterns occur throughout human anatomy. "Examples of fractal-like anatomies include the arterial and venous trees, the branching of certain cardiac muscle bundles, as well as the ramifying tracheobronchial tree and His-Purkinje network," Dr. Goldberger points out. "Mechanistically, these self-similar structures all serve a common physiological function: rapid and efficient transport over a complex, spatially distributed system. Fractal processes generate irregular fluctuations on multiple time scales, analogous to fractal objects that have a wrinkly structure on different length scales. |

Think about it. Imagery combined with biofeedback can be doubly effective. "I tell my patients to imagine the muscles squeezing shut when they contract them and see them dropping and opening when they relax," says Wright-Kilker. Get a visual image in your mind of what the muscles do when you work them properly, then recall that image later, when you need to work these muscles without the feedback. nhibited Sexual Desire

Anatomy is the science of the shape and structure of an organism. human anatomy involves a detailed study of the body parts and their location. Physiology, the science dealing with the function of living organisms, explores the various chemical and physical processes of the body. Medicine is the science and art of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease in the body. The relationship among these three branches of science is clear: in order to treat the disorders of the human body, an extensive understanding of both bodily structure and bodily function is necessary. |

Throughout my years of research, I have tried to piece together scientific evidence to substantiate the existence of an extended subtle-energy human anatomy. It is only through the acceptance of this multidimensional framework of functioning that scientists can begin to comprehend the true nature of human physiology and the reasons for illness and wellness. The evidence that I have assembled comes from a variety of disciplines and researchers. Many of the studies which I have put together are known to those within the parapsychological and holistic medical communities. |

It is my new Ford Expedition; every square inch is packed with something and everything is touching something else. The sigmoid colon wraps around the uterus and the ovaries attach to it.

These parts of human anatomy were omitted from classical paintings from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries, an omission that so misled nineteenth-century art critic John Ruskin that, upon marrying, he reportedly believed his new wife was abnormal and sought an annulment.22
The average human scalp has about 100,000 hair follicles. Blondes have more; redheads have fewer. As buds and flowers bloom in the spring, hair tends to grow more, too, and it falls out more in autumn.
For just about every adult—man or woman—hair thins a bit with time. |

These conduits are the acupuncture meridians referred to in Chinese diagrams depicting human anatomy. Pathogenesis relates to the excess or deficiency inextricably linked to the force of Yin ("female," "cold," "hollow," etc.) and its opposing force, Yang ("male," "hot," "solid," etc.)
The Chinese clinician's task is to identify where the Qi exists in excess or is deficient. This is done chiefly by means of taking a history, observing and using pulse and tongue diagnosis. |

All of these specialists have received extensive training in human anatomy with some dissection work on cadavers; therefore, their understanding of the body and its many biological functions is more complete and thorough than it will be for other professions listed hereafter.
