Lord help me, I don’t want to put down “scientists” and “researchers,” really---they are our greatest chance for cures and relief from many diseases. That said: This from the journal, Nature Neuroscience: Scratching dulls the nerve cells which transmit the irritation of an itch to the brain.
OK, let’s think about this. Baking soda works well to stop the itch from measles. Aunt Vi knew that. Yes, friends and enemies, itching has been around for thousands of years. No doubt the dinosaurs had an itch or two and Eve was itching for that apple.
Now, I don’t mean to make fun of itching which can accompany many horrible illnesses and become deadly if skin is broken and infection ensues, but, how much money and whose was it that went into this research?
Researcher Glenn Giesler, of the University of Minnesota, said: “It’s like there’s a little
brain in the spinal cord. We really want to understand that, because then we think we'll understand how to relieve itching.”
Sigh. Central Nervous System CNS, is by definition made up of the spinal cord and brain.
Now, let’s consider this incredible discovery: “Scratching dulls the nerve cells which transmit the irritation of an itch to the brain.” Oh yeah? Then why is it that so often when we itch---we just scratch more?? Anybody feeling itchy?
