PHANTOM PICTURE FOR
THE HAND IN FRAGILE X SYNDROME:

While palm reading has historically been described as a 'divination tool', in 2010 the facts point out that in the 20th century modern palm reading (palmistry) started developing towards major themes related to the fields of health, psychology, and even psychiatry.

'Phantom pictures' for Down syndrome & fragile x syndrome - see pictures on the left - illustrate how COMBINATIONS of hand characteristics (including fingerprints, dermatoglyphics, fingernails & hand line features such as e.g. the 'simian crease' & 'Sydney line') can present meaningful information about the health of individuals.

NOTICE: All details in the presented 'phantom pictures' are derived from publications reported by academic science.

Likewise 'phantom pictures' can (and will) be presented for (pathological) issues that relate to the fields of psychiatry and psychology.

As a matter of fact, these 'phantom pictures' illustrate that human hands & palmistry definitely presents opportunities that are not provided by other so-called 'divination tools' - the most popular examples of these are: astrology, numerology, tarot, ouija, and psychic readings by a psychic medium.

A more speculative aspect of modern palm reading / palmistry concerns the assumptions made by many palmists & palm readers regarding the 'hand-brain connection'.

While relatively large parts of the brains are connected to the sensoric- and motoric nerves of our hands, the findings of experts in the fields of palm therapy, hand reflexology and acupuncture suggest that various types of therapy may result in (subjective and/or objective) therapeutic effects.

Could that indicate that beyond the use of the hand as a diagnostic tool, our hands also provide opportunities to 'navigate' our brains? If so, that would give quite a different meaning to the classic motto of Indian palmistry & Chinese palm reading:
