It's not what you think.
Anyone old enough to remember Fantastic Voyage where they shrunk the scientists and put them in a submarine then injected them into someone to fight a brain lesion will understand that when I read technical papers on physiology I become microscopic or even molecular in size and become The Thing...
It's not what you think.
Not The Thing like a really gross alien in Aunty Arctica but The Thing that is being described and followed throughout the body.
So... when I've been working with women, I find that I'm at a disadvantage from my schooling which focuses on unisex treatment of physiology to the point where if you're not a man then you are a specialty: Gynecology, even though women have 80% more medical complications then men do.
Since I am a man (can I even say that?) I have no experience with the complex hormone chemistry that is going on either due to academic force-fed learning or lack of personal experience.
Case in point: One of our Hens and I have been trying to troubleshoot what the Ancient Chinee called Ligament Laxiety = Bad Sinews. All of the best garbage that the A.I. could spew led to no useful results, major expediture, and lost time. So I went to:
scholar.google.com
for the heavy stuff. The papers that make you feel like you are eating a cardboard cereal box without skim milk. It was there that I nearly instantly (three pages of search terms in) found that collagen cannot be formed, therefore repaired, without the influence of ESTROGEN.
Well, there's your answer, isn't it?
Our Hen has barely registering estrogen and progesterone on tests.
A concurrent revelation was that there can be AUTOIMMUNITY TO HOST COLLAGEN.
Added to that was the fright that collagen is spit out like spider silk by FIBROBLASTS.
Because a number of vaccines are made from Fibroblast cultures, and injecting ANYTHING into the body provokes an antibody response, then its a wonder why ANYONE has any functioning collagen in their body. Who WON’T have autoimmunity at this point?
Bones, Tendons, Ligaments, Cartilage, Skin.
NAC = N-acetylcysteine is good for what it does: heavy metal chelator and mucolytic agent. But what they DON'T tell you is that it will INHIBIT COLLAGEN FORMATION !
Why did I have to spend 29 years before I found that simple fact?
Isn't it funny that out of nowhere folks just started to melt down?
Isn't it funny that out of nowhere the pimps were pushing collagen like it was the next greatest beauty aid and savior of the whirled?
Isn't it funny that Bartonella and Borellia (released from Plum Island) just happen to have an insatiable taste for.... collagen?
So, since I had the estrogen connection but knew nothing about being a woman, I went on a search for textbooks on female endocrinology. They were too expensive. So I went to the Internet Archive. They only offered 7 books that were all on a borrowing limit. How do you 'borrow' an electronic book?
So, I typed in FREE pdfs and came up with this link:
https://www.academia.edu/45120360/Williams_Textbook_of_ENDOCRINOLOGY_12th_EDITION_2011_Saunders_
The text is the featured download but the right hand scroll had more FREE DOWNLOADS than a rabid dog could salivate over. Many important titles on topics that all of the people I have been consulting with can benefit from.
I had been signed onto academia.edu for years and harvested many papers for free in the past but I didn't know the scope of the MILLIONS of items that they offered for free until I fell down this rabbit hole.
You can sign up for free to get free papers so if any of you are Data Dog Diggers then it's worth your while to save this stuff offline. You know this kind of thing won't last in a dystopia where you will own nothing and be enraged.
So, I'm off now, to become a hormone and see if we can make a difference.
Estrogen free... and not from an ad in Vogue! Nothing is free, not even “Meals on Wheels” or the $5,000 loaded debit card for ILLegally crossing our borders! Keep ‘em comin’, Sir! You’re bound to land on something the AI doesn’t want you to... hopefully not a “land” mine!!
I did not know that about NAC!!! Thank You for the data! Guess I had better stop taking it, even though it helped greatly with My emphysema.
Looking forward to Your next microvoyage!
