Stress And Diseases Pt2 2/5 User Manual 4 Humans

you rev it up

you want to give a body part

more energy you send it more blood

okay it's as simple as that

so

resource allocation is simply where do

we send the blood in a given situation

so

when we have a stress response we want

to send the blood to the places that can

save our lives

and

when

we have a parasympathetic response when

the danger is over

then we can send the body to the

digestive organs to

heal and

get healthy and procreate and regenerate

next is just a little cartoon it's one

of my favorites glass burgundy does a

lot of funny stuff about health

this lady says don't tell me to improve

my diet i ate a carrot once and nothing

happened

and

i i like this guy because he he really

he perceives the the flaws and the

weaknesses in humans and in the system

but that's how a lot of people think

they they don't understand that it's

about function and it takes time to

build a system

so we expect something to do something

we take a pill because we want it to do

something we take supplements to do

something that's not how it works

we take something if we need it

if we need something and we provide it

we're better off

if we

take something and we didn't need it it

makes no difference it's not supposed to

do anything

all right

so now we're moving into the that was

pretty much review so now we're gonna

spend a good amount of time on the next

three slides seven eight and nine

and this is where we're going to show

you

so you will get a whole lot smarter than

98 of the doctors out there

because they will tell you that we don't

know where these diseases come from

they'll say the cause is unknown

and i'm going to show you exactly where

they come from it's not a mystery

it is a mystery if you're looking in the

physical tissue for this for the cause

but it's not a mystery if you start

looking at function and understand how

the body works and it's all based on

this sympathetic versus parasympathetic

accounts for 99 of all the diseases so

let's just read through some of the

things here

high blood pressure

high cholesterol those

both relate to cardiovascular disease

and heart attacks

reynaud syndrome that's a lot of women

especially have cold hands and they have

cold hands to the point where their

fingers get white and they they're

almost hurt

neck pain headaches diabetes

constipation blood clots obesity

infertility miscarriages

erectile dysfunction digestive problems

ulcers

allergies

autoimmune diseases

rheumatoid arthritis and cancer

we got a pretty good coverage with that

list

okay

now let's look next slide we're going to

go back and we're going to tie this

together

so don't worry about missing stuff

and there may be some other drugs here

but i just kind of went off the top 10

list just to get some examples

and there's simvastatin it's a

cholesterol lowering it's levothyroxine

which is thyroid lysinopril for blood

pressure

hydrochlorothiazide for blood pressure

and fluid retention

atenolol blood pressure metropolis

blood pressure

amplifying

blood pressure

omeprazole

ulcers and gerd which is

gastroesophageal

reflux disease as they call it

metformin type 2 diabetes

furosemide which is diuretic

and then there's

an array of over-the-counter medication

which are primarily for

cold and cough remedies

allergy relief products antacids and

laxatives

do you see a pretty good fit

between the drugs and the problems up

above

not complete but there's like

better than 50 probably 80 percent

uh correlation there

and now let's look

at the mystery that they're telling us

that

we don't know where these things come

from

well

in the stress response when when we have

a sympathetic response when the grizzly

bear comes charging what happens in your

body

that's going to be on the left side of

the next diagram that's called the

initial adaptive stress response so what

happens is

your adrenaline and your cortisol goes

up

your glucose your blood sugar goes up

as a result of cortisol you increase

your energy mobilization

you increase your cognition which is

your alertness

your mental powers if you will for that

situation you become clearer

you increase your pain tolerance

you increase blood clotting factors

you increase your blood pressure

you increase your skin conductance and

you increase your brain activity on the

beta wave which is the high frequency

okay

so let's go back and talk and see why

does this happen

well here's the grizzly bear

do you think adrenaline is too is a good

idea to get you that burst of energy

probably so yeah that sounds life-saving

cortisol

and in the following minute cortisol is

released to increase blood sugar

sounds like a good idea because blood

sugar

is

is the energy for you to sustain the

fight

and in order for you to

to get get that blood sugar you also

decrease

your sensitivity to insulin

you become insulin resistant okay we'll

just kind of put that out there for now

energy mobilization obviously that goes

with the adrenaline cognition

you want to be bright and alert you want

to evaluate your options

you you want to see where you can get

away do i climb a tree do i grab a club

what do i do

pain tolerance

increased pain tolerance that also seems

like a good idea you don't want to worry

about

every little ache and pain you want to

get out of there

so that becomes

second hand

blood clotting factor why why would you

want a blood clotting factor

well

what if you run through some thorny

bushes

what if the bear gets a few scratches in

on you you want to be able to stop that

bleeding quickly

and and that's what

that's what the blood clotting factor

the stress response does let me add one

thing to that

part of the blood clotting process is

cholesterol

ldl cholesterol because the ldl

cholesterol takes cholesterol out to the

tissues and into the blood so that you

can close up the wound quicker

and so that you can rebuild cell

membranes quicker

to repair the damage

your cell membrane is 13

cholesterol so you need a lot of

cholesterol to repair damaged tissue

so this is all part of the stress

response obviously your blood pressure

goes up so you can squeeze the blood out

into the body parts that need it quicker

skin conductance that's that's the

moisture on your skin

okay people with sweaty hands

why does that go up

well if you have dry hands and you try

to grab a club

you might slip

but if you're a little bit moist and

sticky now that you get a really good

grip on that club and that tree branch

so it increases your chances of survival

all these things have been built into

your body

to increase your chance of survival

right

so let's look let's go further here

we have a decrease in digestion
