Side effects of The Narrative part 3: The brain, pathogen and panacea

The prolonged brainwashing of the population through threatening and fear campaigns requires prudent considerations. This is also evident from a recent article in Nature. Especially when well-functioning immune systems are desperately needed, this is certainly not the time to infuse simple citizens with fear, doom and threat in an uncertain, disrupted and united society. Therefore, the 'psychological impact of the regime' is worth further investigation, possibly even more than 'delayed care'. Because only a small number of people may have missed critical diagnoses in a limited period of time. But for years, the entire population has been continuously threatened, through all channels of information, with a horrible suffocation death or complicity in it, should it happen to loved ones. That fear affected citizens, including journalists, politicians, administrators and influencers who were also hired to amplify the politicians' panic to their audience. If that doesn't have side effects, "I'll eat a bear," my father would have said.

Brain activity as a choreographer of your health

Both positive and negative thinking affects physical processes, including the immune system. In previous articles We have already seen possible effects of the fear and doom with which hundreds of millions of unsuspecting citizens have been brainwashed by their caring authorities and reliable media. The exact link between such a mental terror campaign on the one hand and illness and death on the other is unknown. That there must be a connection is becoming increasingly clear. A recent article in Nature is about the interaction between mind and body. Below are some highlights.

The Nature article discusses the effects of brain stimulation. For example, activation of the reward center in the brain — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — has been shown to trigger changes that lead to a more active immune system and the demonstrable reduction of scar tissue on the heart.

The relationship between psychological condition and the health of, for example, the heart has been researched for decades. For example, one group of mice was locked in solitude and another group in an activating play area with social contacts. Heart tissue from deceased mice showed whether they belonged to the group of stimulated mice or to the control group.

In humans, an extremely stressful event causes not only an increased heart rate but sometimes even a heart attack, which can be fatal in rare cases. Purely from the fright: a basic brain activity. Conversely, positive brain activity leads to better results in cardiovascular disease and faster recovery after surgery. But the mechanisms behind these connections remain unclear.

The power of the mind over the body can be used more effectively, is the growing awareness in the medical world. Understanding this can amplify placebo effects, fight cancer, improve response to vaccinations, and it is also reason to reevaluate diseases that have been dismissed as "between the ears" for centuries. Psychosomatics in a new perspective.

Stimulating brain areas could yield powerful therapies.

Not the drug, but the effect

At the end of the nineties, an important additional find was made. An experimental anti-inflammatory drug, intended to combat local brain inflammation after a stroke, was also found to have an inhibitory effect on other inflammations in the body in laboratory animals, while it had only been administered in the brain. No mechanism could be found for this. The drug was supposed to be physically transported from the brain to the whole body — but it wasn't.

After months of trying to find the transport route from the brain to the body, the researchers decided to cut the vagus nerve, a bundle of about 100,000 nerve fibers that runs from the brain to the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and other important organs. When the vagus nerve was cut, the anti-inflammatory effect disappeared in other parts of the body and was limited to the brain, where the drug had been administered.

Conclusion: the brain controls the healing process via the nerve pathways.

Follow-up studies since then have focused on manipulating the brain to trigger immune responses.

Other effects

Immunity works less locally than has long been thought. Of course, this is not entirely strange: certain disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, can arise due to stress, anxiety and other negative psychological impulses. A range of studies provide fascinating facts:

• Activating certain neurons induced specific symptoms (fever, shivering, fatigue), in the absence of a pathogen.
• Neurons in the insula store memories of earlier bouts of intestinal inflammation. Stimulating those brain cells reactivates the immune response – without any physical cause.
• Among women with breast cancer, those who underwent additional supportive group therapy and self-hypnosis were found to survive longer than those with regular cancer care alone.
• Certain cells in the bone marrow regulate immune activity. Those cells have the ability to suppress immune activity. In mice with lung and skin tumors, activation of the VTA (part of the brain stem) resulted in these cells being activated. As a result, the brake on the immune system fell away and the cancer was fought. Purely because of neurological (brain) activity.

Doctors have long known the effect of positive thinking on the course of the disease. There is more and more substantiation for this anecdotalism. In the Netherlands, Pierre Capel regularly talks about this, for example in his book: The emotional DNA (For sale on to bol.com).

This Emeritus Professor of Experimental Immunology has been warning for years about the effects of anxiety on our health. He wrote a book about it in 2018.

Pierre Capel on his website:

It is becoming increasingly clear that feelings are linked to harsh biochemistry. They not only influence the development and course of diseases, but also determine health and even our longevity. Positive and negative feelings have an unimaginably strong effect on the development and course of all kinds of diseases, such as infertility, arteriosclerosis, depression, tumors, diabetes, etc., but also on symptoms such as pain and anxiety. Sports, yoga and meditation can bring about a huge positive change.

At Tel Aviv University in Israel, a research group is investigating whether stimulating the reward system in people's brains before they receive a vaccine can improve their immune response.

But negative mental states can also affect the body's immune response. Specific brain circuits mobilize immune cells in the body of mice during acute stress, both through the motor cortex that mobilizes immune cells and through the hypothalamus — a key responder in times of stress — which reduces the number of immune cells circulating in the blood. The group is now investigating the role of activating these functions in chronic inflammatory diseases and whether this can dampen the growth of tumors.

Among the most diverse specializations, from dermatology to oncology, there is a lot of interest in the concept of mind-body connection. Better understanding may mean better deployment. Doctors often pass on patients with apparent psychosomatic complaints to psychologists and say that nothing is physically wrong. This can be distressing for the person seeking treatment. Just the simple message that there may be a brain-immune connection responsible for their symptoms can make a lot of difference.

Epilogue

Not only were the measures wrong, even the way in which those measures were enforced was harmful. And all this under the inspiring guidance of a group of doctors and virologists, an OMT that has really done everything wrong. Despite this, the current "consensus among virologists" is still being challenged.

Ik vroeg gisteren nog aan een bevriend (gepensioneerd) arts of hij iets kon noemen wat ze dan wel goed hadden gedaan. Het antwoord: “Nou, dat hygiëne belangrijk is bijvoorbeeld en je beter wat afstand kunt houden.” De naam Bergamo viel weer, besmetting in stadions. Ik heb het er maar bij laten zitten: hij is gepensioneerd en werkt graag in zijn tuintje. Naar zijn idee was oversterfte niet zo’n issue want er stond niets over in Medisch Contact of het Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde. Dat er per dag vijftig mensen meer overlijden dan verwacht kon hij niet geloven.

By the way, this was not the one who made the statement: "What we have learned from the corona pandemic is that we can work much more online." And that was not an IT professional in a hospital, that was a real Prof. Dr. in medicine, head of a department. There is still a long way to go.
