I don't want to blow this up out of all proportion :) BUT,
>From the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS, May 24, 1994
MOSCOW -- Doctors are blaming a rare electrical imbalance in the brain for
the bizarre death of a chess player whose head literally exploded in the
middle of a championship game!
No one else was hurt in the fatal explosion but four players and three
officials at the Moscow Candidate Masters' Chess Championships were sprayed
with blood and brain matter when Nikolai Titov's head suddenly blew apart.
Experts say he suffered from a condition called Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis
or HCE.
"He was deep in concentration with his eyes focused on the board," says
Titov's opponent, Vladimir Dobrynin. "All of a sudden his hands flew to his
temples and he screamed in pain. Everyone looked up from their games,
startled by the noise. Then, as if someone had put a bomb in his cranium,
his head popped like a firecracker."
Incredibly, Titiov's is not the first case in which a person's head has
spontaneously exploded. Five people are known to have died of HCE in the
last 25 years. The most recent death occurred just three years ago in 1991,
when European psychic Barbara Nicole's skull burst. Miss Nicole's story was
reported by newspapers worldwide, including WWN. "HCE is an extremely rare
physical imbalance," said Dr. Anatoly Martinenko, famed neurologist and
expert on the human brain who did the autopsy on the brilliant chess
expert. "It is a condition in which the circuits of the brain become
overloaded by the body's own electricity. The explosions happen during
periods of intense mental activity when lots of current is surging through
the brain. Victims are highly intelligent people with great powers of
concentration. Both Miss Nicole and Mr. Titov were intense people who
tended to keep those cerebral circuits overloaded. In a way it could be
said they were literally too smart for their own good."
Although Dr. Martinenko says there are probably many undiagnosed cases, he
hastens to add that very few people will die from HCE. "Most people who
have it will never know. At this point, medical science still doesn't know
much about HCE. And since fatalities are so rare it will probably be years
before research money becomes available."
In the meantime, the doctor urges people to take it easy and not think too
hard for long periods of time. "Take frequent relaxation breaks when you're
doing things that take lots of mental focus," he recommends.
Although HCE is very rare, it can kill. Dr. Martinenko says knowing you
have the condition can greatly improve your odds of surviving it. A "yes"
answer to any three of the following seven questions could mean that you
have HCE:
1.Does your head sometimes ache when you think too hard? (Head pain can
indicate
overloaded brain circuits.)
2.Do you ever hear a faint ringing or humming sound in your ears? (It
could be the sound of electricity in the skull cavity.)
3.Do you sometimes find yourself unable to get a thought out of your head?
(This is a possible sign of too much electrical activity in the cerebral
cortex.)
4.Do you spend more than five hours a day reading, balancing your
checkbook, or other thoughtful activity? (A common symptom of HCE is a
tendency to over-use the brain.)
5.When you get angry or frustrated do you feel pressure in your temples?
(Friends of people who died of HCE say the victims often complained of head
pressure in times of strong emotion.)
6.Do you ever overeat on ice cream, doughnuts and other sweets? (A craving
for sugar is
typical of people with too much electrical pressure in the cranium.)
7.Do you tend to analyze yourself too much? (HCE sufferers are often
introspective,
"over-thinking" their lives.)
If Any CTRL people suffer from the above symptoms, I have some great snake oil
that will cure it - in fact its very melatonin rich :)
