Consider your mind; use topical pain creams whenever possible.

The human mind is one of the most important tools we have for daily living. The state of a person’s mind could determine if the person is going to live or die in a certain situation. Take, for example, TJ who is a lawyer and is partying in New Jersey with his family because of his parents 50 year wedding anniversary. The problem is TJ lives in New York and wants to get home. He has an 8.30 am client the next day and he wants to get home to some documents he will need for the meeting. TJ already had half a bottle of Champagne and makes the wrong call. He crashes his car at the Holland tunnel and ends up at Mount Sinai Hospital. Not only did he not make the appointment, he now has to face the legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol.
It’s not just alcohol that can affect the inner workings of the mind; many classes of drugs are responsible for disrupting the mind’s ability to work optimally. These drugs including drugs used to manage pain disorders such as Narcotic analgesics can cause cognitive impairment that makes the operation of a motor vehicle hazardous. Another class of drugs used commonly to manage painful conditions is known as the NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These NSAIDs also come with central nervous system side-effects such as headaches and dizziness. In addition, they cause stomach pain and heart burns, as well as stomach ulcers which will invariably reduce the quality of life of an individual. Acetaminophen, commonly marketed as Tylenol, is another class of pain medicine that is promoted because it is less often associated with gastro-intestinal problems, however, it is linked to liver failure which is a life threatening condition.
The main rationale for the use of topical pain creams is to apply pain medication directly to the source of the pain without having to introduce the drug into the rest of the body where it could generate unwanted side-effects. Pain can adversely impact cognitive performance (Moriarty and Finn, 2014), so whenever possible agents that act locally are recommended over systemic agents that can cause additional cognitive impairment.

The Earth, itself, is like a huge gigantic wild farm where survival is a daily goal. This wild farm is organizationally different from what modern humans would create. If you walk into any modern farm, you expect to see some form of ‘human’ order. You will see oranges planted in a linear fashion. This linear planting fashion is not just aesthetically pleasing, it makes it easy for the plants to be tended to and also makes the harvest easier. One cardinal theme, you will notice in any farm is that a seed or plant is placed on the ground (or the equivalent) and then the waiting begins. This is what I call ‘plant and wait.’ It is the job of the farmer to provide fertilizer, water and other protection to enable the seed grow successfully into maturity. Weed removal, occurs at this period. Now the human mind is also like a farm. If you plant something there, you have to wait on it for it to grow. The mind and the body are together, hence the phrase ‘mind-body.’ In essence, when you
