Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 The issue, Jeannie, is food vs. stimulant. Does the body perceive an item as useful material from a metabolic perspective, or does the body quickly set to work eliminating part or all of an item? Stimulants " turn up " our entire system. Temperature, respiration, pulse all increase. Adrenalin is poured into our system, circulation is redirected from forebrain (seat of intelligence) to hindbrain; self-protective ( " immune " ) functions are turned down very low, and so forth. This is called a " fight or flight " response. The body responds in the same way to threats, whether internal or external. And when we live in a state of everything-turned-up 24x7 throughout the year, we exhaust our system and become " sick " . We become food for fungi and bacteria, molds, yeasts, everything imaginable. Then we look for " remedies " , things that kill and suppress, and off to drug land we go. It makes no difference whether we use a synthetic or a natural killing agent, the mindset, the way of being, is the same.
