    Boy Born Without a Cerebellum Baffles Doctors



    In a story that defies all medical odds and will likely cause doctors to rethink what little we know about the brain, little Chase Britton is doing things he shouldn't be able to do because he has no cerebellum or pons.

    The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls motor skills, balance and emotions. The pons controls even more basic functions like breathing and sleeping. What's more startling is that pre-natal images of little Chase clearly showed he had a cerebellum before he was born.

    Not only do doctors want to know how he is able to function without these two vital parts of a normal brain, but they also want to find out what happened to them when they were clearly present before birth.

    Thank you for this story Dr. P. He's an amazing, incredible little boy for sure.

    That said, I think we need to rethink the doctor's brains. Such a shame they are locked into old boxes.

    That is an awesome story, and totally baffling.

    No, I think the Shrub proved that the doctors first theory was correct!!

    The holograhic theory of mind would explain this, and tests have shown it to be basically true. You can remove important bits of the brain and other parts of the brain take over those functions somehow.

    Because this is not your dream, world, illusion, matrix, reality, universe, whatever you prefer to call it. It's Gaia's dream. And she didn't add humans to the mix just so they could exploit, terrorize, trash, pollute, and destroy it all. Humans are so doomed.

    Mother nature is going to blow up japan and do you know why? I did say mother nature was getting ready to nuke and destroy them because of their terrorist and genocidal war against the whales, dolphins, and more. I also tried to warn those americanos about their terrorist war against the cow, pigs, chickens, and way way more, but they don't give a flying ****. They just don't care, so I say **** humanity .. if that's how they feel!

    It is already acknowledged that humans have no intentions of surrendering and ceasing their terror and war against nature and so I have to concur with natures decision to eliminate humanity from the illusion. Humans suck and turn dreams into nightmares. They are so doomed.

    So yeah, I guess nothing really matters, which is why humans continue to do what they are doing because their goal obviously is extinction. Humans deserve as much terror and pain and suffering and death as they have inflicted upon all the other lifeforms within this dream and I hope they get what they deserve.

    Anyhow, didn't mean to derail cerebellum talk, point is though it's all a dream .. just an illusion .. and I now know that for a fact .. it's why my voodoo stick works so swell, ha.

    Well, I guess if all is a hologram, then perhaps none of it is real and it's all kinda like a cartoon.

    I wonder what happened to the cerebellum, if he had it before birth. Poof! It disappeared? Baffling, for sure.

    Why would you think anything matters (pun intended)? What does matter? We think things matter maybe but does what we think matters matter to someone else?

    We have a consensual reality of sorts, I am not sure that matters much, in fact my reality is so different from most people I have to think it doesn't matter. I guess living matters, but that is only a guess since I don't know any better. I am going to believe living does matter because if I don't, and it does, I am pretty screwed.
