A Citation:


".... a cardiologist called me up from the
city of Chicago, and he said,"I have a very interesting
patient to refer to you." He had read some of my previous
work on cellular memory, and he was speaking about a young
woman, a 35 year old woman who just had a heart transplant,
or a condition called cardiomyopathy which is fatal if not
treated; and usually the only treatment, is heart
transplant. Shortly after the heart transplant, after
surgery when she recovered from general anthesia, she came
to her room, and she started having interesting cravings for
chicken mcnuggets and beer. At the same time she would get
dreams, and in the dreams a young man would appear to her
and he would say, "My name is Timmy so-and-so. I love you.
You have my heart."

    After she was discharged from the hospital, she went to
the library and looked at the obituary columns, found Timmy,
found the face that came to her in her dreams. Timmy had
been 19 years of age, had had a lot of beer and chicken
mcnuggets, was riding a motorcycle when he had his fatal
crash and what she had in her body was his heart. If I had
heard that story 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, I would
give both the cardiologist and his patient 100 milligrams of
thyroxin and call the psychiatrist.....
