    Yeah, unfortunately probably won't see a study like that for a while as we still suffer the FUD of 80 years ago. Also, it's not the THC that matters, it's the CBD's. That's why the US government 'patented' CBD's but really only allows medical studies to be done on what is basically hemp sprayed with THC (yay war on drugs!).

    If your grandpa's damage was done by polio itself it might also respond differently than the damage done by the polio vaccine (very small percentage, yay! I won something) which is usually uni-lateral, slower degeneration, and cyclical (nerves recover to some degree but can be easily 'burnt out' by too much activity).

    Anyways, food for thought. Hope your grandpa continues to improve!

    I'm not arguing. I'm trying to make you think, but you don't seem to take very well to it.

    I already knew that from your previous responses and told you to stop responding. It seems you can't listen either.

    Add some marijuana to the mix. Some cbd's are analagous to the chemicals that precede nerve formation, sort of like scouts, plus all the nerve protection factors. Then add some yoga or tai chi, both teach you where your nerves are, where they connect to, and how to 'follow' them with your inner senses. Visualization is actually very important for nerve regeneration. They also both help with correcting posture. Anybody who has had any paralysis will develop muscular compensations elsewhere, so one has to relearn not only how to move the paralysed body part but how to move the non-paralysed part correctly.

    The important part of course is not to take some mj and then veg out, it's to use it and then immediately physio with visualization. Thankfully, in the past couple of years there's been a lot of development in high cbd/low thc strains so you can get the benefits without being all muddle-headed.

    Took me about 5 years, and I still sometimes forget, out of habit, to move the muscles that I can now move, and they still get tired before the day is over, but every day brings more strength, coordination, ease and grace of motion.

    So you think that a touch/air interface requires you to always have your arms moving? Do you know how stupid that sounds? Do you constantly need your fingers typing or your hand on the mouse? Do you never have to think?

    Ah, so the tripe is straight from your own mouth. Perhaps you should actually read some spiritual/religious texts? The greatest perversion comes from the catholic church, but the bible says differently, but pretty much every other teaching is that everything is awareness/god. Yoga explains the big bang as the breath of god, god divides to know himself and then slowly regroups to become one again, and then the next cycle begins.

    It is only a problem for some. Mainly for those who do not know how to support their own weight, so they come up with myopic explanations, like the AC below, that it's all because you can't push (hard) against a touchscreen or the air. These people will never understand until they can support their own weight. Tensegrity.

    Tai chi, yoga, most martial arts, all strive for economy of effort with maximum work.

    The key is to stop fighting yourself. Most people don't realize, and mostly geeks with very little physical experience, that frequently they have opposing muscle pairs in constant battle. One must learn to seperate the force necessary for movement and the force necessary to counteract gravity, tai chi is excellent for this because the slow movement brings out the opposing forces.

    Once you can do handstand for 30 secs to a minute, without strain just even breath, then you'll understand the beauty of the human body as a tensegrity.
