I am almost a normal kid. I have great friends. My grades are pretty good. I am an only child with loving and supportive parents. We live in an old house on ten acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of trees and fields with lots of room to run. My life is everything a kid could want...almost.By virtue of a genetic anomoly, I am telekinetic. The world isn't ready for people like me. Its my secret. Only my parents and the doctors who monitor me know that I have this Gift. Only certain registered doctors, psychiatrists, can work with people who have this trait. They call it a Gift. Therefore, I am a Gifter. I can move things just by thinking about it. Things as small as cells to heal wounds to large things like a mid-sized tractor. On the surface it sounds great but being a registered Gifter carries more responsabilities than one might imagine. Those responsibilites can easily kill me and others like me.Almost normal? Not even close.I'm a freak only nobody else knows about it....yet.

The greatest sympathy and appreciation of this work have been shown by the progressive and recognized practitioners who have seen early copies. They recognize it as a timely attempt to create and compile health literature in a form most complete within its limits of space, and in a manner most helpful and sane. The eager curiosity regarding themselves that has been sweeping over the American people has been diverted into frivolous and harmful channels by much reckless talk and writing. A prominent newspaper, in its Sunday editions, recently took up the assertion, in a series of articles, that appendicitis operations resulted from a gigantic criminal conspiracy on the part of surgeons; that a sufficient cure for appendicitis, "as any honest doctor would tell you," is an injection of molasses and water! The endless harm done by such outright untruth is swelled by a joining stream of slapdash misinformation and vicious sensation, constantly running through the press.
