(Health Diary)
So wait. If I ingest sulfites or msg then my immune system reacts to it. I get dizzy, disoriented, confused, sleep, then wake up between 1 and 12 hours later, usually with the whole can’t breathe, running nose, sneezing, thing.
But I get the SAME reaction of dizziness, disorientation and sleepiness when I come down with a cold or flu, except I also feel extremely depressed for a few hours beforehand for no reason at all (which is extremely annoying, I have to tell you.)
So both of these effects are my immune system at work – right?
I have always thought that the short intense depression was a reaction developed when I was ill for so long – the cancer was very slow growth. But maybe there is something to learn here.
I know that there is a relationship between the immune system, chronic tiredness, depression, manic depression, and schizophrenia. In that these are all immune-system related disorders of some type or other.
I am also uncomfortable with the dompaminergenic theory of evolution.
I am also uncomfortable with the clear relationship between these diseases and exceptionally creative thinkers.
So it seems increasingly likely that some childhood diseases, or what our immune systems consider poisonings, cripple our immune systems. And that we live out our lives having obtained our ‘blessing’ at fairly high cost.
I notice rothbard’s asthma when he is speaking. Although I understand similar effects can be achieved by smoking AND that smoking can medicate the effects. I know Hayek was troubled particularly late in life. And the stories about Socrates, Smith, and Kant as well as most poets, and many writers, is legendary.
I know that fasting repairs immune systems, and that in general, fasting for short periods is awfully good for you. I also know that my intellectual performance is near zero when I am hungry.
Sleep, exercise, water, lower stress, the love of good people.
And a good austrian doctor … lol
