Relaxin and Oxytocin are two of many peptides that fulfill mediating

functions in the cells - in TCM terms they are neither Yin or Yang

they are intermediate neutral functions that facilatate either Yin

or Yang functions. There are hundreds of such peptides that

facilatate enzymatic functions in thousands of metabolic pathways.

Using any of these substances theraputically in isolated form does

not seem intelliegent to me. There is no one in the world who really

knows what they are doing when they do this. The synthetic forms of

such peptides such be avoided like the poisons they are.

 

Ambien was mentioned - all of the Benzo type drugs (CNS depressants-

Ambien is not a Benzo but it works in the same way - it depresses

the CNS) cause amnesia - it isn't that the person does not know what

they are doing - they forget what they did. Ambien seems to be one

of these drugs that causes the worst amnesia. Depression of the CNS

is the opposite of what most people for whom these drugs are

prescribed - need. These drugs can spoil the life they are highly

addictive and it is very difficult to overcome these addictions. One

of the authoraties in Benzo addiction is Dr. Heather Ashton - I have

seen her protocal used on several people - combined with herbal

therapies to support the body in the hundreds of possible symptoms

that develop during withdrawal - accupucture is also helpful during

withdrawal. The harm that these drugs have done is immeasurable -

because of the epedemic of insomnia and anxiety that is arising -

these drugs are being more and more prescribed although this

catagory of drugs was discredited many years ago - as a result we

are also developing an epedemic of addiction to these drugs. This

addiction is much worse than the original symptoms that the drug was

prescribed for.

Depression of the CNS is a stupid concept since we all need as much

responsiveness as possible from the CNS to function properly -

depression of the CNS depresses functioning at every cell - so it

creates the type of hypometabolism syndrome we have been recently

discussing - 'false' hypometaboism. This is WRONG!!! Dampening

functioning is not the answer to excess excitatory functioning -

discover the cause of this over stimulation and resolve it - this

will allow the SNS to relax and there will be no need to suppress

natural and vital functioning. Opium depresses functioning yet very

few would advocate its use in overstimulation - yet many freely

prescribe substances that do the same things as opiates in another

way. Muddled thinking going on here. I have extreme prejudice

against all such depressive substances because I have seen with my

own eyes the harm they do and the difficulty people have had

withdrawing from them.
