This is from New York Times. A female runner suffered from acute frequent epilepsy that ruined her daily life, convulsing with foam and blood. So a top surgery team removed that part of her brain that caused her to have seizures. And the strange outcome is this - no more epilepsy (total cure) but she gained the Harold Fock infamous illness- inability to tell directions and organize her life. (For the record, I have three GPS devices in my car!)
Now, she keeps winning gruesome marathon races because her brains has no limits in terms of tiredness. She knows when to rest (due to biological feedback) but her willpower is beyond human's "limitations" because there is no limit at all! An ex-Commando pal, Peter, told me at one point in his training, he could not stop running because his brain jammed and his legs just went on and on. It sounded like macho crap told at the pub to impress the girls. Now we know it is possible. The mind has untapped power.
In years to come, we may have brain surgery-enhanced, drug-free Olympians soon.
Harold Fock
