They've figured out how to heal the body with computers - the NSA computer Echelon can do it, and it does it fast. It happened to me when it put me in a revelations biblical cypher. I stabbed myself pretty bad and Echelon healed it!
Echelon gives you the ability to move objects also, and can boost your psychic power in many areas.
It does more by insisting an action to our reality to the computer that we are in, but I don't know how much more special powers it could give. But on the down side, it will delete and damage your brain if you don't breathe in 4 seconds then breathe out 4 seconds while its on you, walking slow will help too.
That's all that I know.

I remember when I was 8 I would always try to fly.. I could never do so but I would try for hours while my parents were at work and I was at home. I'd stand on the sofa foot rest thing and jump as high as I could seriously trying.

- Nature seem to react very strongly to my strong emotions. What affects me strongly emotionally, seem to strongly affect the weather and even tectonics/volcanism. I'll post a thread on this later with tons of circumstantial evidences.edit on 22-12-2013 by ahnggk because: (no reason given)

Add in cases of non-somnia due to familial genetic defect where the inflicted are unable to sleep and eventually die from sleep deprivation. They maintain sanity and survive far longer than we would in the same condition.
These things are extraordinarily rare but they are documented. Frequently, genetic mutations are at the root of the difference for most and most don't want to be part of the modern equivalent of a freak show. My body is capable of producing greater amounts of static electricity with a higher charge than normal. It was bad enough in a humid climate that my doctors investigated what created it after being shocked by me whenever they touched my body, lol. Electrolytes were normal and brainwaves were double on the EEG but the only explanation that they had was that I do not sweat as much as a normal person. Put me in a nervous situation where a normal person would break out in a nervous sweat, I don't and I'm prone to shock whatever I touch. My "super power" is a pain in the arse as I will short out headsets, fry low quality keyboards and mice, cause my computer to blue screen, and I'm a bane to light bulbs. The only time the "public" realizes what I can do is when I zap an odd object publicly--like a banana. Let's just say that the response to such a thing is unpleasant. When I lived in a dry and hot climate, I was a freaking nightmare. I shattered my son's baby teeth (thankfully they weren't in his mouth), those plastic covers for sink taps several times, drinking glasses (to such a level that my SO at the time went out and spent a ton of money on unbreakable glasses from Williams-Sonoma. I still managed to explode one in my hand), wood, water, and other odd objects not known for being a static discharge device...like the bananas. I shock crap all the time, including my children. I've never struck them but it still hurts to see them flinch and stiffen before I give them a hug as they are used to being jolted by their mom. Privately, it's a family joke to get me to learn to harness it so I can throw bolts . Publicly? I don't tell anybody living around me because being a freak show hurts. Pure xenophobia.
Reality is that sometimes people are born differently. What people can do usually falls within a normal range but that range is merely an average. There are people with exceptional abilities that are considered supranormal because they fall outside of that average. Frequently, it's not really a bonus and very rarely is it actually useful. Ben Underwood's echolocation ability would be an example of an useful one.

After reading many of the threads posted on ATS and other sites, reading many books & articles, and making observations in my daily life, I have come to the conclusion that there are some people on this planet who truly have abilities that in the comic book vernacular would be called "super-powers." These powers include:
* advanced psychic powers: clairvoyance, psychometry, remote viewing, telepathy
* telekinetic abilities
* possible electro-magnetic abilities
* magical abilities of an undetermined nature that can affect reality
To be fair, I have not heard of anybody who can fly (though some can levitate short distances),
