Your Gut…A Second Brain?

The gut is now considered a third branch of your central nervous system made up of more than 100 million nerves working together to communicate through the nerve pathways to the rest of your body.  This enteric nervous system (ENS) is referred to by experts as your body’s “second brain.”

Your gut health influences every aspect of your health.

A recent review released by the University of California confirmed that the gut and brain share a “complex bidirectional communication system that not only ensures the proper maintenance of digestion but is likely to have multiple effects on affect, motivation, and higher cognitive functions, including intuitive decision making.”

They go on to endorse many things I’ve been saying for years about the guts influence on body inflammation, stress, emotional conditions, obesity, and eating disorders.

The Gut-Brain Connection

The brain and your underappreciated gut are a single system, working together to keep your body functions working at peak condition.  There are aspects of both – duplicated chemicals, cells, and tissues – in the other.  They use the same methods and nerves to communicate.

Your “second brain” has all the same neurotransmitters and just as many neurons as the spinal cord or peripheral nerves.  It’s true!  In fact, 95% of the body’s serotonin is found in this gut “brain!”  No wonder it affects our moods, actions, and performance.

Negative thinking causes issues in the gut and the mind.  Poor lifestyle choices such as smoking, excess alcohol use, and inadequate diet are also felt by both.  Your gastrointestinal system becomes irritated and sluggish – and so does your brain.

The gut-brain connection is intricate and what affects one, rebounds on the other.

A high stress situation immediately clenches your gut and stress causes an instant pause in the digestive functions to avert resources where they’re needed most.

Caring for Your Gut Protects Your Brain

How do you keep this communication system open and running efficiently?  The key is knowing what feeds your gut and brain properly.  Your body is unique and what foods work best are specific to you.

The modern diet is drastically pro-inflammatory.

As a result, your bowel is the real hotbed of inflammation.  This causes a ripple effect of problems affecting systemic health in your organs and tissues.

Literally, if the gut is “on fire,” your entire body is under attack and ripe for damage.

Intestinal fire is the underlying cause of an amazing array of conditions.  Allergies, autoimmune disease, diabetes, heart disease, mental illness, behavior disorders, and so much more are linked to a part of the body the medical community thought it had all figured out!

Your Fascinating Gut Microbiome

Preserving the gut-brain connection depends on maintaining a balance of positive gut flora.  This beneficial bacteria eats bad bacteria and keeps you healthier than you can imagine.  There are also bacteria in your gut that are not beneficial.

Good or bad, those bacteria share their genetic material with us.  They actually outnumber our standard “human” genes.  Where you and I have about 25,000 unique genes, these microbiomes have more than 10 million!

Now for the truly fascinating part: they are responsible for how you process food, absorb and utilize nutrients, how you flush toxins from your system, your metabolism, and your hormone balance.

They also dictate exactly how your body behaves.  Take a moment to process that information.  Those bacteria (good or bad) have the ability to control as much of our bodily functions as our own human DNA.

The Discovery of “Planet Human”

It sounds like science fiction, doesn’t it?  A human with 25,000 unique genes picks up “hitchhikers” that don’t leave.  The human body then maintains a symbiotic coexistence with these “simple” organisms that possess millions of unique genes.  Those genes are shared with us and influence everything from how our body functions to how we feel!

When you see the big picture, that whole “second brain” thing makes sense!

I told you that this information – and the gut-brain connection – were beyond incredible.  Modern science has only scraped the tip of the iceberg in regards to what it means.

I wrote a book that encompasses everything we know to date.  Don’t be left out of the information loop.  I’ve compiled the most cutting edge information in “Fire in the Belly” – an apt name for a situation brewing in most of the population.

Learn how you can preserve the gut-brain connection (and your whole body health) right now.  Your symbiotic bacteria will thank you.

Never mind. Microcurrent therapy is poised to change the whole face of medicine. Where did I get that idea? Actually, from the front cover of SCIENTIFIC AMERICIAN journal (March 2015)! They call it “Bioelectric medicine” and broadcast that it could create an “off switch” for arthritis, diabetes and even cancer.

Pain, overweight and cancer. It’s everywhere! Just those three conditions alone covers over 50% of reasons for visits to the doctor (an estimate, not a stat).

If you missed my recent notice about a pain and wound healing webinar, featuring the world’s top MCT trainers, too bad. But you can watch the replay. It’s open to all. No charge. And it’s absolutely fascinating.

What’s The Alternative?

We already know what the alternative is: a lifetime of expensive opiate meds, with the very real chance of dying. Pain killers are now the 4th leading cause of death in the USA. I’m talking now about legally and correctly prescribed opiates, not drug abuse.

The irony is that pain killers solve nothing. Big Pharma doesn’t want patients to be cured. It wants them to go on having agonizing pain for the rest of their lives, because that sells LOTS of pills. Even better, if the patient gets addicted! It’s a river of money.

This is important knowledge you need to stay on top of. As I keep saying over the years: the commonest cause of death is ignorance. Not knowing the facts sets you up to lose, big time.

Enjoy the future.

Prof.

It’s become very clear in recent years that our mind powers can be enormously enhanced, using modern electronic technology.

Binaural beats is not even the half of it.

See another post on this page about showing that mild trans-cranial currents can TRIPLE a person’s problem solving power!

But here’s one of the best things I have ever come across. The “New Reality” patented system combines lights and sound at theta frequency, which will drop you into trance/meditative states in just a few minutes.

In that place, you get all the benefits of meditation, without the years of agony and patience needed to become an adept! Watch out, Sai Baba, the cold wind is blowing!

Joking aside, this new technology has been extensively studied and found to benefit health in remarkable ways, including increasing levels of DHEA and melatonin, and so reduces the effects of aging. It also reduces stress-inducing cortisol and boosts the pleasurable endorphins, to encourage a higher emotional state, and has many further benefits to health and psychological well-being.

In addition, I’ll be posting a piece next week showing that meditation improves brain plasticity. It actually remodels/restructures brain tissue.

CVR Creative Visualization and Relaxation

Simply put, visualization is the process of forming mental images; it is the primary component of the imagination.

Visualization is at the core of the human ability to create, innovate and dream.

Many of history’s inventors and artists attribute their success to an exceptional ability to visualize. Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Henry Ford, and the great composer, Chopin all reported using creative visualization to spark their imaginations. Additionally, Albert Einstein once said he came up with the theory of relativity by imagining what would happen if he could travel through space on the tip of a light beam.

Creative visualization can transport you out of a state of stress or fear, and into a new space of inner calm, peace and tranquility. Additionally, a natural byproduct of creative visualization occurs when the body goes loose and limp, creating the relaxation response – the perfect state for learning, healing, or focusing on goals.

It all ended abruptly with the discovery of a phenomenon called RNA interference (RNAi). Basically, it was found that you could insert RNA into a cell and it would cancel (neutralize or interfere with) the DNA.

In other words, RNA was senior to DNA!

Well, the story just moved forwards and provided me with another awesome “I Told ‘Em!” (events I predicted years or decades before others spotted it).

Luc Montagnier, who shared the Nobel prize for medicine in 2008 for his part in establishing that HIV causes AIDS, says he has evidence that DNA can send spooky electromagnetic imprints of itself into distant cells and fluids.

Well, of course he was met with a storm of schoolgirl hysteria from the “it can’t possibly be true” scientists. One smarty pants called it “pathological science”. Jacqueline Barton, who does similar work at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, was equally sceptical. “There aren’t a lot of data given, and I don’t buy the explanation,” she says.

One blogger has suggested Montagnier should be awarded an IgNobel prize. Ha ha! They said that about anesthetics, antibiotics and space travel!

But “ghost DNA” fits perfectly well with the findings of the late Jacques Benveniste. I’ve been teaching his most exciting material since I met him in the 1990s: which is that molecules actually signal to each other electro-magnetically. The so-called “lock and key” theory is dead. Chemical communication, such as hormone signaling, is all done by energy fields, not “stuff” (molecules).

All this is written up in Virtual Medicine, chapter 13. Get yourself a copy here:

Full details of the experiments are not yet available (this is normal), but the basic set-up is as follows. Two adjacent but physically separate test tubes were placed within a copper coil and subjected to a very weak extremely low frequency electromagnetic field of 7 hertz. The apparatus was isolated from Earth’s natural magnetic field to stop it interfering with the experiment (remember what I taught you about cyclotron resonance and the Earth’s field in Virtual Medicine?)

One tube contained a fragment of DNA around 100 bases long; the second tube contained pure water.

After 16 to 18 hours, both samples were independently subjected to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method routinely used to amplify traces of DNA by using enzymes to make many copies of the original material. The gene fragment was apparently recovered from both tubes, even though the control should have contained just water!

Interestingly (very interestingly) this effect only worked if the original DNA had been subjected to several dilution cycles before being placed in the magnetic field. In each cycle it was diluted 10-fold, and “ghost” DNA was only recovered after between seven and 12 dilutions of the original.

However it was not found at the ultra-high dilutions used in homeopathy.

Physicists in Montagnier’s team suggest that DNA emits low-frequency electromagnetic waves which imprint the structure of the molecule onto the water. This structure, they claim, is preserved and amplified through quantum coherence effects, and because it mimics the shape of the original DNA, the enzymes in the PCR process mistake it for DNA itself, and somehow use it as a template to make DNA matching that which “sent” the signal (arxiv.org/abs/1012.5166).

While his silly critics are screaming nonsense verging on obscenities, Montagnier has kept his head and says “You guys need to try and reproduce this”, which is the only answer to controversy that science has. Reproducibility.
