On Warts by Lewis Thomas
On warts is an essay where the writer discusses warts and their treatment. According to the writer, warts are wonderful structures. They appear on any part of the skin like mushrooms on a damp lawn. warts are both useful and essential as the exuberant (very energetic) cells of a wart are the elaborate reproductive apparatus of a virus.
Warts can be made to go away by thinking by hypnotic suggestions. For the writer, it is more surprising than cloning or recombinant DNA, or acupuncture. No one really understands exactly how the cure works. Is it by science or by magic? And the strangest thing is they vanish without a trace. In hypnotic suggestion, instruction is given in a state of hypnosis to patients' unconscious mind to cure warts. He presents a study in which warts patients were hypnotized, and the suggestion was made that their warts would begin to go away. The results were positive.The unconscious mind is powerful in the sense that you give yourself thoughts and listen to opinions from others on how to treat and get rid of warts. Therefore, the writer himself wishes to have warts to see how the unconscious mind works. It is mysterious how the unconscious mind can prompt warts to disappear. The writer being a doctor gives hypnotic suggestions, to cure warts. At last, he says to start a war against warts, warts and all.
