“Ketogenesis limits the body’s formation of substances known as reactive oxygen species, which can damage cells. When you introduce glucose (as in, if you eat sugar, or any carbohydrate that breaks down into sugar), that switch to a fasting metabolism is undone. The sugar triggers the release of the hormone insulin, which tells the body that we don’t need to use our fat reserves, bringing ketogenesis to a grinding halt. So when the mice were given glucose, the inflammatory process caused damage to neurons in the brain, causing the mice to convulse and die.

“Meanwhile the virus triggered a different type of sepsis, in which removing glucose was uniformly lethal. In that case, glucose seemed to be necessary for adapting to the stress of viral inflammation, by preventing stress-mediated apoptosis (cell death). Without that, an area in the brainstem was destroyed by inflammation, and the mice would stop breathing.”

“Adrenalin, the secretion from the glands so intimately associated with the sympathetic nervous system and whose medullary portion is essentially a mass of sympathetic nervous tissue or chromaffin, accelerates calcium metabolism of its own accord, but in this action it is much stimulated when ultraviolet radiation is also used. Rollier has frequently repeated his empiric observation, to which many photobiologists subscribe, to the effect that those cases of bone and joint tuberculosis appear to do best when exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet results in the prompt bronzing of the skin. We have already traced the relation which exists between the bronzing of the skin and adrenal sufficiency. It is not claimed by Rollier or by others, that failure to pigment, as in the case of dominantly thyroid types, is concomitant with total failure in healing. A return to normal health is also prevalent among the types who respond to ultraviolet by burning instead of pigmenting, but as a rule, these cases do not recover as promptly or as surely as the ones which early and consistently pigment.”

For example, they sussed out that the adrenal medulla is mostly in the skin, not in the center of the little tricorn hat on top of each kidney.

Move the numb area to drive oxygen into it.

Homeopathic way to counteract numbness …

Don’t move the numb area for at least one solid minute at a time, causing carbon dioxide to drive oxygen into it.

When done correctly, the numb area feels energized and growing.

“Although I haven’t written much about testosterone’s toxicity, Marian Diamond’s work showed that prenatal testosterone is similar to prenatal estrogen, in causing decreased thickness of the cortex of the brain; both of those hormones oppose progesterone’s brain-protecting and brain-promoting actions.”
