Weekly Lab Journal

1. This week it was time to start paying the bills. In the United States medical bils are either paid privately or by the government (via taxes). Elsewhere, under the social medical system, the government pays the bills. Under both systems (which are failing) more and more people can't get the medical help they need. Under the socialist system - there aren't enough doctors and a shortage of both equipment and medicine. Under the American private system, it's too expensive and many people can't afford it. This means a new way of paying the medical bills needs to be found. We have begun to introduce a new method of paying the bill under the new site; http://medsci-funding.cybernetics-institute.org .
   
2. Work continues in both medical studies and clinical studies.
   
   1. The work at the medical clinic continues.
      
   2. We're waiting for the allergy season to finish and the flu season to really begin.
   3. [Neurology] Neurology is at the center of so many problems and is, in fact, one of the major keys to tissue regeneration. It's through neurochemical stimulation (via both natural and artificial method) that the triggers to the glands that control growth and growth hormones can be induced to regenerate tissue in the body. Anyone who exercises or has undergone major surgery knows of the pain associated with healing. Pain is the neurological signal for both damage and healing. Pain is felt when a part of the body is damaged and pain continues until the damage can be repaired. The pain is triggered by nerves that exist in every part of the body. GI hypersensitivity (see below) is a result of damage to a part of the gi system. However, there is also damage to the nerves that send the signals to the brain. This is the(medical) cause of paralysis (quadraplegic and paraplegic). However, there are other neurological functions that can be interupted or disrupted. For example, alcoholics lose control of bowel function, both urinating and deficating on themselves. Heroine, and other such physically addictive drugs, cause major neurological disruption during the high, but once addicted becomes the primary neurological control chemical. The evidence for such physically addictive drugs, is the withdrawal symptoms - this includes nicotine.

      1. Hypersensitivity and food triggers - One of the triggers appears to be food. Exactly how food triggers hypersensitivity is not understood, but from research it's been shown that not only do certain types of food trigger hypersensitivity, but certain amounts as well. For example, in one patient (who had gi hypersensitivity) there was also a lactose trigger. Milk products triggered hypersensitivity, with one exception - a small bowl of natural yogurt actually helped, but when he (he is the pronoun to man the human, not the gender) had more than the small bowl, the lactose hypersensitivity returned. Such amount triggers exist along side, food triggers like eggs, potatoes, spices, fish. It appears that sulphur and ammonia compounds in these foods trigger gi hypersensitivity. Although how and why are still not full understood - yet.
