Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 >>>serotonin >>>>That is why many antidepressants have digestive effects. Serotonin, like many other catacholamins have binding sites in many tissues from blood vessels to the gut. That is also why emotions have somatic and visceral effects. Much deferring 5HT (serotonins) are also produced in the brain. Alon<<< You guys are so great. You go running into your heads to tell you about your gut, and the answers are still there. Astonishing. The Chinese have always just observed what was in front of them, seeing what happens to a person, not a part. This makes things clear enough, actually, but that is not the whole story, as Western medicine will tell you. However, all Western medicine is doing with its analyses is confirming what the Chinese saw all along. How could it not? The facts have not changed. Bodies have not changed. The gut affects one's serotonin levels, one's lungs, one's heart, one's worldview. This is why using an herb such as Celandine or Yu Jin, or many others, can, under the right circumstances, turn a wack job into a happy camper. What you really need to do to understand this is to relax your gut completely and pay attention to it. Then you will know for yourself. Your head is going in the right direction. Just lead with your heart. That's all there is to it. By the way, I blanked on Ken's name the other day when I was tossing off CHA Rat Pack names and herbs to go with them. I guess Ken is, oh, Ye Jiao Teng? Sorry for everyone I didn't mention. I just wanted people to get the idea. Yehuda is, I think, foxglove or something like that, only he doesn't know it yet. I don't mean to sound mysterious at all. There's nothing mysterious to anything I say anymore, only in the minds of some listeners. In my world, mysteriousness is a hanging offense.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 >>>Sadness has been shown to relate to lung function and asthma through cholinergically mediated airway constriction Alon<<< Alon, Here's what happens. People get uptight about whatever and that constricts the muscles around their lungs, which incudes the diaphragm, the major cause of breathing. When the diaphragm (all channels are affected by this) is tense, it does not relax properly, and thus it stops squishing the abdominal organs and massaging them sweetly the way it had been doing. Probably the person has been uptight somehow all their life and has never breathed properly in the first place anyway. When we relax our guts, all takes care of itself. You can breathe, you can relax, you can think straight, you know what to do--it is obvious. If you're really hip, you'll see God. Or maybe Einstein in your case.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Marco, Of course, and sorry! I am referring to feeling for an awareness of qi stagnation, (which I have observed as therapeutic pulse) on the ren (from ren2-6), stomach (st 27-30), spleen (sp12-14), liver(lv12-13), kidney(ki11-14), and gall bladder(gb27-28). I have not been exposed yet to Japanese acupuncture, other than anecdotally, but because, from what I have heard its focus is on the area surrounding ren 8, I would suspect that its proponents and would also be able to relate a significant relationship between this area and a relaxation of extreme tension in " fight or flight " patients, those who are jumping out of their skin.(By sympathetic hypertonicity I refer to a condition of inbalance where the patient is unable to relax, and the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, like a broken thermostat, doesn't turn off appropriately. The sympathetic hypertonic patient will respond with an extreme, often irrational response to any simple and non-volatile stimulus). This will be manifested as liver qi stagnation transforming into heat, and at times overacting on stomach, weakening spleen, creating dampness and phlegm, weakening liver blood and eventually kidney yin. Sounds like the strung out, burned out Angelino I described previously, doesn't it? Best wishes de norte, Yehuda ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
