“The sleep of the mind creates hosts of monsters.”

A Spanish proverb taken by the artist Francisco Goya as the name of one of his drawings.

NOT ALWAYS!!!

Which is the topic of this note.

Several of my friends at different periods of their lives, still at a relatively young age, were given depressing diagnoses: Progressive tuberculosis and cancer.

These friends refused the services of phthisiologists and oncologists, and undertook self-medication in the form of prolonged therapeutic starvation, either for a month or longer.

I DO NOT ADVERTISE THIS PURELY SUBJECTIVE METHOD OF THEIRS AND DO NOT OFFER IT AS A PANACEA OR ALTERNATIVE TO officially accepted treatment measures!

I’m just stating the facts.

All of these friends HAVE RECOVERED! Either starvation really mobilized the body’s defenses, or the diagnoses were wrong, or both, but the fact is – they recovered!

This is an introduction.

In early October, my old DELL computer suddenly stopped working (it wouldn’t turn on at all). I spent several days tinkering with him, trying to “resuscitate” him and using all sorts of expert advice for such cases. Nothing helped.

I put it on an extra table, disconnecting it completely from everything and from the network.

(I always keep three computers for such a case.)

Why?

Because I always buy second hand computers because of the Windows 7 program.

The good old program, as opposed to the newfangled and bad (in my opinion) further “improvements”.

I decided to wait a couple of months, and then take it apart to repair the existing, working ones.

The other day, the another PC went bad just as suddenly and with the same symptom, and there was only one left, which I started to use.. But a number of portals refused to “recognize” it as legitimate. And I decided to try to “reanimate” the old one, which WAS RECOGNIZED by all those portals.

I turned it on and IT STARTED WORKING IMMEDIATELY. After several hours of tinkering, it connected to the Internet and “recognized” the old printer, which newer computers simply ignored.

More than two months of “electric starvation” had a healing effect on a completely inoperable computer:

It “recovered”!

(I disconnected it from the network for hours and even for a couple of days during my October attempts to revive it. At that time, there was no resuscitation).

But only the prolonged deprivation of his “electric power” did a miracle. He revived and began to work properly. So far, two days. I don’t know how long his resuscitated life will last.

But the fact remains!

So, computers can be treated with PROLONGED starvation too!?

A pleasant surprise!

I don’t understand anything about computers, neither in their electronics, nor in programming.

I act purely intuitively.
