THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX

What keeps us from solving our current economic crises and creating solutions? First we need to understand what a box is.

Webster defines a box as something having a flat bottom and four upright sides or a square oblong division or compartment; or a small simple sheltering; or enclosed structure.

To best to evaluate thinking outside of the box and solve our current economic crises we best review three hypotheses.

Cancer
Ford Motor Company
Today's Economic Crises

1. When Cancer is placed in the box we clearly see patients, doctors, hospitals; labs, x-rays, Cancer Society, unknown cause, DNA, chemo therapy, experimental research, early death due to cancer, etc.

The first question in review of our first hypotheses is what is outside of the box?

Could it be that the answer to solving cancer is as simple as thinking outside of the box? For years we have known what is noted above. We are often reminded by The Cancer Society calling for contributions. Are the contributions solving Cancer?

The answer might be outside the box, if only we could change our thinking.

My wife came down with Non-Hoghins Lymphoma over 16 years ago. She was x-rayed and the cancer was throughout her body including a growth as large as a grapefruit. She had chemo therapy and experiments where nodules were taken out of her body and placed into rats. In turn the nodules were taken from the rats and placed back into her lymph glands. She was told that this experiment failed.

The doctor also placed her on Fludarabine a chemo therapy used by Leukemia patients. At the time when she was diagnosed with Cancer she was told that she had 5 to 10 years to live.

One day 12 years ago the doctor told her that she was his first well patient. Is this a miracle?

When she goes back for check ups today they can not find her cancer. The questions my wife has asked over the years she is why isn't the Cancer Society asking why and how did the doctor say "You are my first well patient?"

Some of the thinking out side of the box was my wife's faith, humor, understanding of electro chemistry, belief in laying on hands by elders in the church, prayer, vitamins, belief in her doctor, etc. Could it be a combination of the above? Could it be the experiment which failed combined with the Fludarabine? Yes is it possible a miracle?

The question is when you think out of the box by combining knowledge and data collection from well patients from Cancer we might find the answer? One of the questions out side of
