Just watched TRULY STRANGE »HIDDEN IN THE HAND. Very recommendable to learn what kind of medical information or diagnosis can result from studying a person’s hand. I was really surprised that Smithsonian was featuring such a film since I thought those body shape type of medical diagnosis (like phrenology) has long been abandoned as being unscientific or pseudoscience, but …
Of particular interest was how traditional Indian medicine relies on hand reading.
Takeaways
- President Barack Obama’s digit ratios (his 4d or ring finger is much longer than normal) indicates he is a risk taker. That is an understatement and one wishes Smithsonian had released this documentary before his election in 2008.
- The Indian professor was able to tell by looking at hands or even only photos of hands whether a person is prone to tooth caries or to predict whether a child will have frequent cavities. She was also very capable to read all kinds of medical diagnosis from photos of hands.
- Perhaps, the digit ratios (2d to 4d, or index to ring finger) may indicate a person’s gender identity. A woman’s typical 2d to 4d ratio is different from a man’s, but what about e.g. transgender people?
- The documentary explained how the hands and fingerprints formed during pregnancy and how they might be related to the development of the brain
- The documentary debunked the myth that the life line has anything to do with longevity
- Do not ignore significant changes affecting your hands or feet. In this documentary, you will learn that a particular cancer in the brain typically causes the fingers and feet to grow bigger, but someone might dismiss this as normal change coming with age.
- I am sure, I forgot something ...
