I appreciate Cecil’s comments on the question about JM Barrie - author of Peter Pan
Barrie was given as an example on PBS … of social situations shaping the brain response.
He was VERY short
The topic on PBS was that all primates have a hypothalamus. It signals the pituitary which signals the sex glands. Male fish will change color based on territorial success or lack thereof.
At autopsy Barrie was found to have testicles that had not descended.
I have seriously looked into the harm of a chemical (modern name is 2-butoxyethanol) that affects glands & would cause this kind of thing.
I know it’s been around since the 1930s per current chemical company disclosures … it may be something like this type of chemical exposure that is the primary harm in 1918 Spanish flu & bubonic plague. Virus and bacteria may be found … because the system becomes autoimmune & ignores the bacteria. That does not mean it is the bacteria … or that it is the virus that causes the extreme results in these cases. A chemical poisoning of this type of chemical (found in bombs, I suspect) is by vapors in one’s eyes. It is a right now issue, too.
NHL, obesity, diabetes are at epidemic proportions, in my opinion, because the decades of generations of people who are being chemically poisoned by this chemical family
I learned about this because it was the harmful chemical in the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup products: Inipol EAP 22 and Corexit
My heart ‘sank’ when I heard this
Did you know that the 1964 Alaska earthquake was on 3/34 and on Good Friday?
Did you know that the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was exactly 25 years later: 3/24 also on Good Friday?
Yet, it is ignored by even VALDEZ citizens
If we knew what Valdez people (& those who came to work on the oil spill) have come down with … how many brain tumors, diabetes, cancers, birth defects … it would go a long way to unraveling the mystery of ‘gulf war syndrome’ CFS, CFIDS, the real harm to the Vietnam vet, the Korean vet, today’s soldier & housewives, too
Sandy asks, “Why are there spikes on my red blood cells?”
I firmly believe an accurate diagnosis is possible for this group AND
that there is help with good nutrition AND glyconutrient food supplements
I know medical practice would prefer to think mainstream …
but they are missing this cause of ‘flu’ … cause of CFS … cause of diabetes
and blaming something else
I KNOW I have found the fatigue causing chemical (& doctors say they do not know what the fatigue is) I believe I know why they don’t find it, and what they have to check to find it.
But no one believes me. I am talking about this assortment of symptoms AND many cancers and birth defects
I suspect it for the cause of President FDR in 1945, Hitler, the Pope and many prominent people. Everyone at every age is at risk if exposed to too much of this chemical
