Another Use of Practical Creationism

I am using the term "Practical Creationism" in reference to my last blog on the healing of a herniated disk. I treated it in more detail there, but basically it is the idea that there was probably a Design Intention for optimal usage of the body, and a positive, validating, or healing "feedback" to the user of the body when the body is used on, or close to this optimal usage. Atleast some of this feedback, for me anyway, is felt through the Qi or Chi energy flow meridians, as listed and detailed in Chinese Medicine and the Chinese Healing Art.

Of course I am only guessing at why such a feedback was used, but probably atleast part of it was that the human body is the only biped optimized for running. To achieve this some of the joints are given a lot of range and leeway, making them a little more "iffy" or vulnerable to misuse than they otherwise would be. So there is more of a priority to make sure that these joints are not used in a way that would result in premature damage to the body.

Now, for another application of Practical Creationism I want to look at what has happened with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome since the advent of the personal computer, and how it could be prevented, or atleast alleviated. Its very simple. Just observe what is usually done with the hands when a person is seated. Aha! Usually in the lap. So, hold onto your seat here . . . maybe it would be a good idea to just put the keyboard in the lap! No desktop or table top keyboards, no special slide-out drawers, no wrist supports-- just your lap. Its worked for me for years, and its happening a lot more these days with, of course, the Laptops!

Why do you suppose this solution has not been promoted? Well, it makes noone any money. Its a poor statement on American culture if that's the reason, but its probably part of it.
