Tonight I’d like to share with you about Stress hormones.

We are all familiar with Stress hormones that cause the fight or flight response (or so I would like to believe?). I would however like to inform those of you that do not know about the negative impact Stress hormones can have on our bodies.

In the event of the brain (the physiological brain as we know it) receives, registers and recognises signals of danger (the threat could be a virus, an emotional shock or stress about work / finances / relationship or a drug (even pre-scribed medicine that is “seen” as alien to the body), etc. the hypothalamus (part of the brain) sends a message to the Pituitary Gland (the Master Gland of the body that is responsible for organising and orchestrating trillions of cells of the community to deal with the perceived threat). The Pituitary Gland then sends a signal to the Adrenal Glands (on top of the kidneys) to prepare the body for fight or flight. The “Get ready and set” response – just like an athlete would await the signal to “speed” out of the blocks. The Adrenal Glands secretes the Stress hormone (also called the fight / flight hormone or Cortisol). Cortisol has important functions to fulfil in the body such as sugar metabolism, insulin release for blood sugar level maintenance, it has an anti- inflammatory function, etc. However, if the body constantly experiences stress and the Stress hormone, Cortisol has to be released frequently and for prolonged periods it leads to Chronic Stress. The body then cannot return to its normal and relaxed state => the body is in imbalance.

Why? The Stress hormone released in the blood stream constrict blood vessels of the digestive tract, ensuring that energy-providing blood is sent to the legs and arms to enable the human being to get out of “trouble” or get away from whatever caused the stress and threat. With minimum blood going to the digestive system, the body’s digestive system cannot perform its primary function of life-sustaining work such as absorption, excretion and nourishment of cells. Healing and repair as well as division of cells are compromised and therefor vital energy reserves are compromised. Secondly, the Stress hormone restricts the function of the immune system. When the immune functions effectively it consumes much of the body’s energy. In the event of a “threat” or stress, the body has to keep all its energy in reserve to best equip the body for fight or flight. It therefor has to “shut down” the immune system of the body to preserve all the energy it has in reserve “for survival”. Short spurts of “shut down” of the immune system is OK especially in a life threatening situation (when a lion is about to attack you when camping in Africa). It is however not OK if the body is in chronic stress and the body has no means to defend itself against viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.

Maybe you’ll understand why some people that is experiencing chronic stress feel “they cannot eat” – their digestive system is not working – and therefor loses weight. Others, due to the chronic stress feel the need to eat and then cannot understand why they gain weight. Their body cannot digest, metabolise and nourish the cells as the digestive system is temporarily closed down.

This may provide you with some answers as to why people suffering from chronic stress potentiall suffer from stomach ulcers, leaking gut, constipation and other digestive related diseases such as a spastic colon.

This may also explain why people that suffer from chronic stress often suffer from flu, they struggle to get rid of the flu and they suffer from continuous sinus problems and other viral type of ailments. Their body’s immune system has been shut down temporarily.

Terrible to realise, but when we live in chronic stress => our brain cells are not sufficiently nourished, they cannot divide as they should on cell repair and the natural cellular process, the brain cells do not get sufficient oxygen and hence…

Yes,…

Our neuronal and cognitive functions are being depressed, there is a wide body of research pointing to the chronic release of the Stress hormone as the source of depression and the worst… our center of reasoning is physically shrinking!!! Eeeg, this is scary!!!

Can you think of any good reason that one should not determine the levels of Stressors in the body, how it creates toxidity in the body and how it actually “breaks the body down”? More importantly, what would be any good reason that we should not learn how to manage stress instead of coping with stress which means… accumulation of stress, which means… chronic stress through prolonged, frequent and / or “chronic” release of the Stress hormone…

The Body Intelligence Scan and the recommended protocol of InfoCeuticals together with a conscious decision and commitment to wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle is the only effective solution I can think of now…

I think it is an understatement when Andries says the detoxification was a resounding success. Even I was surprised at how well his body responded to the InfoCeuticals. As promised, I will tell you more about the Stressors that negatively impact on the functioning of our bodies, but let me please explain about InfoCeuticals.

The InfoCeuticals that were recommended to Andries for the detoxification only consists of pure spring water and a little salt (with a low % sodium chloride). The main ingredient and the critical ingredient of the InfoCeuticals is INFORMATION. Information is coded and stored in the salt (a mineral) like one would save information for your computer on a CD, DVD or even a memory stick. You cannot see the information on any of these devices, yet your computer has the ability to “read” the informatin, decode it, send it to the required place for it to be processed and applied. In exactly the same way does your body’s Intelligence System (remember it is not the brain as we know it) or Operating System “read”, decode and interpret the specific information that we drink (taken through the InfoCeuticals that we drink). The body’s Operating System (called the Human Body Field) then sends the information to the correct body field and it is deployed to do the specific function, e.g. send a message for cells to detox, or sends a message to the cells to enhance oxygenation, etc.

The most important message is that if we help our bodies only slightly, it will respond to heal and repair in a profound way!!!

However, there are InfoCeuticals available that additional to INFORMATION, have vitamins and minerals or herbs added as a nutrient. Andries has not yet received any of these.

Like an onion that gets pealed layer by layer from the outside inwards, the body’s operating or Intelligence System informs us of the priorities it needs to be attended to.

I wish to be very clear that at no point in time can or will I diagnose any individual, I will never proclaim to diagnose illnesses or diseases and I will or cannot prescribe any medication or cures.

The Body Intelligence System is designed and programmed with the information of a healthy body. There are no probes attached to the client’s body, he / she merely touches with his / her hand the mouse-like scanner which “sends more than 10,000 ‘e-mails with information documents’ to the body’s intelligence system. Within 20 seconds the Body’s Intelligence System compares notes with the ‘e-mails’ received and sends through the scanner to my computer (with the programmed information) more than 10,000 e-mails stating where it picked up any corrupt, distorted or changed information.

The InfoCeuticals will then provide the correct information in order for it to be “saved” to the corrupt files and in so doing restoring the body’s balance and information structure. The reason why the InfoCeuticals need to be taken 10 minutes apart is so that we do not create mixed messages or “other” messages due to mixing more than one message.

Now, what are Stressors???

We all live in a stress induced environment. Unfortunately none of us can remove ourselves completely from all the stressors that distort or corrupt our information structures. What we can do is through a healthy lifestyle and by taking some pro-active measures, we can facilitate and assist the body in creating wellness and even wellbeing (later more about the difference and what this means).

The air we breath is polluted with viruses, pollutants such as petroleum gases, diesel gases, dyes from paints and cleaning materials, insecticides and pesticides, etc. The food we eat come from soil that is depleted of minerals, it is treated with pesticides, hormones, etc., and if you’ve seen the documentary Food Inc. you’ll understand that the food is often genetically modified. Bacteria, parasites and fungi often enter our bodies without we noticing (through food, the water we drink, our pets, we touch contaminated areas and then touch our mouths, etc.). We live close to or work in areas close to high power cables and pylons, we use computers, cellphones, microwave ovens and we sometimes have to go for x-ray radiation. Some of us take pain killers, medication, drugs, alcohol, fizzy cold drinks, or smoke. Others don’t eat healthy diets but prefer take aways, hamburgers, french fries, deep fried food, smoked food, the fat on the steak or lamp chop, lots of bread, starches, sweets, lots of sugar, etc., etc., etc. Others only or mainly cook in microwave ovens and they do this in plastic containers.

The global economy brought a lot of stress into the lives of most people. Retrenchments, jobs that do not provide fulfillment, but stress, relationship stress, stress from diseases or chronic illness, stress from not having healthy sleeping patterns, work overload, fatigue, burn-out and so on… and so on. Emotional stress is as toxic as physical toxins that enter the body. Emotions cause a chemical reaction in the body just as any chemical or other physical substance that is alien to the body will cause a chemical disturbance or reaction. This is how the information in our bodies get distorted, corrupt, information channels get blocked and the information structure in certain parts of our bodies find it difficult to function effectively or as it was designed to function.

If these distorted information structures do not get replaced with correct information that can restore the homeostasis of the body, it will have a high probability of developing into diseases and illnesses that can range from migraine, cancer, heart failures and attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, strokes, sinus problems, flu, etc.

Now, last but not the least…

Our paradigmes, our mindsets and the thoughts we think can either assist our bodies in effective functioning or it can become one of the major stressors in our bodies…

Some or all of the above may be a shock to your system! So let me leave you to reflect… Yeah, take the advise Andries recommends…drink a glass of pure water (not sparkling and with no other additives like coffee, tea, fruit juice, cold drinks, whiskey, etc.). Just pure and clean water…

Please do not let this make you stress even more… There is light in the dark tunnel and there is hope, and… there is help… You body knows how to heal itself if you assist it by allowing it to heal and repair…

God created our bodies in a miraculous way. You are fortunately not dependent on my knowledge and wisdom (or the lack thereof). Your body’s intelligence system will advise on its needs and requirements as well as the priorities. With the right information and a little personal care…

Till later…

Sweet dreams (it is late again – 22:24 – one of the stressors in my life – I have not yet achieved the desired lifestyle pattern to be in bed by at least 22:00!!!).

Healthy thoughts and healthy dreams – these are my wishes for you!

For the past 14 days you might have followed the detoxification process – maybe holding back at a distance, maybe with some sceptism. Sceptism is good if you only want to observe, but always standing on the side line watching, dreaming and not playing could lead to disappointment, frustration and unfulfillment => there is no fun in not living life to its full! I believe it is frustrating and unfulfilling to only watch from the sideline.

This process is different to any you might have experienced yourself or any you might have heard or read about – except if you’ve come across the Body Intelligence Scan in Europe or Australia where many people have done the scans and radically improved their wellbeing pro-actively over the past few years. I call it the Body Intelligence scan as that is exactly what it does, but the trademarked name is NES (NutirEnergetics System) scan.

Most other scans scan the physiological system, e.g. the heart, the brain, the muscles, the skeleton, the blood, etc. Peter Fraser and Harrey Massey, over more than 25 years, researched the Human Body Field which is the master control system of the body (the Intelligence system – not the brain). The brain and nervous system is also controlled by the master control system which I call the Body Intelligence System. In computer terms the cells, organs and systems (the physiology) make up the hardware, your personality, thoughts and emotions represent the software on the computer (your body) and the Human Body Field (HBF) or Body Intelligence represents the master operating system that drives, directs, operates and controls the body as a holistic system.

For now, I’d only like to create an awareness that we scan the Body Intelligence system that provides the intelligence and information to the body’s cells on how they should behave and act. We all know that cellular health is critical in wellness. If any information channel is blocked, distorded, corrupt or no information will reach the cells. This means the body cannot function optimally => wellness deteriorates.

Later about what blocks or corrupts the information.

Sleep well, take care (it is 23:03 our time) – let’s see what happens in the follow up scan tomorrow…

A pretty useful article on Social Group Theory –
http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/web-usability/social-networks.shtml

“The premise is that people learn new attitudes by observing others and noting the consequences of these actions. If those observed are rewarded positively then those observing are more likely to behave in the same way.”

In business networks the reward should be – more business, finding opportunities and building a network! I think it’s especially important that online communities start highlighting the success stories of it’s members and how they use the network to achieve this success.

I am way more likely to become an active participant by seeing this than I would be from being offered a token reward.

that is my 2 cents

I know the feeling. I started Hey!co!za in February 2007 and mainly wrote about the internet development that my company does. By the time I decided to change the direction of Hey!co!za the blog was generating an average of 14,000 hits per month.

But I lost a bit of contact with it over the last few months and decided to wipe the slate clean and start again. Searching for some idea to start writing again – thus beginning with the meaning of Hey!co!za. We’ll see how it goes.

Good luck to you too – and happy postings.

Regards
Andries
