The new mother was told that her twin babies had died after they were born. However, the truth was very different: They were sent to a research institute near Moscow to study them. This was to be the fate of «Masha» y «Dasha», one of the most unique pairs of «Siamese» twins.
Anatomy
Identical twins are formed when a fertilized egg It is divided into two eggs. The two eggs develop into two babies who are identical in every way. Conjoined twins, or Siamese twins, form in the same way as identical twins, but the eggs, for some reason, They are not completely independent, but rather they remain partially connected.
The Case of Masha and Dasha
The way the twins were connected was what sparked the Soviet scientists' interest in them. Although Masha and Dasha have four arms, and that have only three legs. They move on two of their legs—one controlled by Masha and the other by Dasha (they had five before they learned to walk)—while a third leg, a vestige, remains suspended in the air behind them.
Their upper intestines are separate, but they share a single lower intestine and rectum. They have four kidneys and one bladder, and they often differ in how they urinate. They share a common reproductive system. Because their circulatory systems are interconnected, The twins share—one shares the other's blood. Therefore, if a bacterium or virus enters the bloodstream, one of the twins will suddenly find herself in her sister’s blood. However, surprisingly, illnesses affect the two of them differently. Dasha is nearsighted and prone to colds. Masha smokes occasionally, has a healthy constitution, higher blood pressure than her sister, good eyesight, and is left-handed. The twins have different health patterns, which presents a mystery to scientists.
Questions
Why does one person get a childhood disease—such as measles, for example—while the other does not? The measles virus was present in both of their bodies, in their shared bloodstream, so why did one of them contract measles?
Obviously, that means that It's different to «have measles in your blood» and to «develop measles.». This phenomenon has been observed time and time again with girls (the flu, colds, and other childhood illnesses were all experienced separately).
If germs are what have the power to cause infectious diseases, why did one of the twins escape the illness while the other was sick? What was it about their physical makeup that made one different from the other? The answer wasn’t hard to find. Although Masha and Dasha shared the same circulatory, digestive, excretory, lymphatic, and endocrine systems—and their skeletal systems were joined at the hips—there was one thing that set them apart: spinal columns and the spinal cord. This was the only significant difference between the two girls. In *Masha and Dasha*, a «laboratory-style» story, he devised an experiment that no human researcher could replicate.
Conclusion
These twins are an example of extraordinary, incalculable value that confirms there is much more to «catching» a disease than simply breathing in germs. Germs can cause disease only if the body provides a fertile environment for that germ to thrive. The condition of your nervous system can determine whether you have high or low resistance to disease. If you are suffering from an illness, the health of your nervous system will play a decisive role in whether or not (and how quickly) you will recover. By keeping your spine and nervous system free of subluxations, chiropractic care helps optimize your overall health.
