Estando en tiempos de clausura, durante la amarga pandemia, se pudo disponer preciado tiempo libre. Mi segunda hija Priscilla nació en agosto del 2019, su canción fue compuesta y grabada antes de nacer. Cuando todo se cerró lo asimilé como una oportunidad para estar con mi bebe, y para dedicarle tiempo a la descuidada empresa de medicinas. Llevaba 20 años de analizar pacientes con vehemencia, fue una pausa, para intentar ser empresario, ser padre, terminar el ultimo libro Generando Voltaje,  y así en el tiempo libre estudiar JYotish, una disciplina que en Sanscrito quiere decir ciencia de la Luz. 

Estudiar Jyotish, es una inmersión en la oceánica filosofía Hindú, en la teogonía, cosmo genésis, la medicina de los Gunas y Doshas, Mantra Shastra o ciencia del Mantra. Los vedas fueron escritos o recopilados por el célebre Vyasa Veda, Su padre fue Parashara el Padre del Jyotish, y Jaimini viene a ser primo de Vyasa Veda y sobrino de PArasara. 

 Se ha meditado la mayor parte de vida de adulto, pero cuando intenté hacerlo con sonido de Mantras, me sentía torpe, inepto e incrédulo. Razoné que mi fe es poco desarrollada y de orden menor, parece que mi consciencia es más inquisitiva que piadosa. Recitar mantra no me llegaba fácil. Un día jugado con la guitarra se me ocurrió musicalizar el texto, pensé si lo canto quizá mi corazón pueda trasladarse. Lo fui cantando en la versión de mi armonía y luego se grabó con tan solo guitarra y cajón. Un exprimento mitad oración mitad música.  Al mes vino otro mantra, y luego otro y otro. Todo sucedió entre octubre y Diciembre del 2021. Siempre fui músico instrumental, y me consideré mal cantante, descubrí que con el sonido del mantra había una fuerza o impulso adicional en el sonido, la música la tuve que organizar con esos sonidos particulares. Así mismo, los mantras cargan sabiduría, me atrajo le idea de este idioma sagrado y su enseñanza, en vez de cantar amores imposibles y despechos. Es cantarle a la esencia de la vida. Se medita arrullado con la resonancia del mantra mientras se reflexiona en su significado, hasta que la mente desaparece.  Intento traducir su significado (sin mucha hermenéutica).

MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA

Cuando me propuse musicalizar el mantra pensé que sería un menudo desafío. El 25 de diciembre después que la familia se retiró, mi hija dormía, estaba en silencio en la sala de la casa, y se floreció la canción, luego advierto que el 6 de enero se grabó. La traducción  de Mrityunjaya es lograr victoria sobre la muerte, la muerte en todas sus manifestaciones. NO busca la inmortalidad, pero que el miedo a la muerte no nos domine e impida vivir mientras estamos vivos.

Om tryambakam yajamahe

Sugandhim pushtivardhanam;

Urvaarukamiva bhandhanaat

Mrityormuksheeya maamritaat.

 Adoramos al de tres ojos (Señor Siva) que es fragante y que nutre bien a todos los seres; que Él nos libere de la muerte por el bien de la Inmortalidad, así como el pepino es separado de su esclavitud (a la enredadera).

 Tryambakaṃ: de tres ojos (originalmente ‘de las tres madres’: Amba, Ambika y Ambalika).

yajāmahe: te adoramos

su-gandhiṃ: muy-fragante

puṣṭi: lozanía, plenitud de vida

vardhanam: el que aumenta

urvārukam: Cucumis usitatíssimus (variedad india de pepino o quizá melón)

iva: como, del mismo modo

bandhanān: atadura (el tallo del calabacín).

mṛtyor: de la muerte

mukṣīya: libéranos

mā: no

amṛtāt: inmortalidad.

 



"Mṛtyuṅjaya significa literalmente "Victoria sobre la muerte" y el mantra Mahā-mṛtyuṅjaya también se llama mantra Mahā-mokṣa, ya que brinda la iluminación definitiva. Recibido por Maharṣi Vasiṣṭha y consagrado como un himno del Ṛk Veda, ha sido cantado durante miles de años por los piadosos que buscan la penúltima victoria sobre este mṛtyu-loka (plano terrenal donde la muerte es la única seguridad)."

"Hay muchos mantras para evitar males como la muerte y otros sufrimientos en la literatura sagrada de los hindúes. Estos mantras son de varios tipos, pero el mantra Mṛtyuṅjaya ha sido exaltado en la literatura sagrada como el mejor. Este mantra está dirigido al Señor Shiva y se enseña en el Rig Veda (capítulo 59 del mandala 7), así como en el Yajur Veda (3-60), lo que demuestra que es un śruti recibido por Mahārishi Vasiṣṭha, el Kula Guru de Bhagavān Sri. Rama Chandra. Este mantra Mahā-mṛtyuṅjaya es del Rig-Veda (Libro 7 o Mandala, Capítulo 59) y necesita iniciación para alcanzar siddhi. Cualquiera puede recitar este mantra y obtener buena salud, liberarse de ataduras y otros problemas. Esta es la mayor panacea para todos los males y se puede recitar en cualquier momento como cualquier otro Mahā-mantra."

 DHARMA PALAKAYA NAMAH

“Dharma Palakaya Namah” se traduce como; Reverencia al protector del Dharma. Según la tradición HIndú esta tarea recae sobre el planeta del amor Venus. El amor al trabajo protege el trabajo, el cariño por los padres se le considera como el primer Dharma que debemos cumplir.  En el BUdhismo, se usa el vocablo Pali, Dhamma, que se traduce como ley, ley espiritual, la naturaleza de las cosas. Hacer lo que nos corresponde hacer según nuestra naturaleza interior.

 OM Caruchandra Nibanaya namah (Oh Venus eres tan hermosa como la Luna y te honro)

Om Dharma Palakaya namah (Oh Protector del Dharma)

 KLIM KRISHNAYA

Klim, Krishnaya,

 Govindaya, Gopijana, Vallabhaya, Swaha

 Some years ago I was requested by our noble brother Sir S. Subramania Iyer of Madras to investigate a mantra which he had been using for many years, which had been given to him by Swami T. Subba Rao, a great South Indian occultist. I looked into the matter with considerable care, and also made use of it afterwards, for it was very remarkable.

This mantra is found, I am told, in the Gopalatapani and Krishna Upanishads, and is composed of five parts, as follows: (1) Klim, Krishnaya, (2) Govindaya, (3) Gopijana, (4) Vallabhaya, (5) Swaha. As one meditates upon this with intent each syllable makes a line in such a position that a five-pointed star results, as in Fig. 17.
And as the mantra is repeated these stars pile up behind one another to form a tube having this five-pointed form of cross-section, which makes a channel for spiritual force coming from Shri Krishna, who is the same Being as the Lord Maitreya, the present Bodhisattva or World-Teacher, the Great One who entered into the body of Jesus as the Christ. With this force coming through it the mantra can be used for many purposes, such as healing, or the removal of fire and other elementals, as well as for general good.
I found, however, that there were three stages in the process. With the recital of “Klim”, which it is said is called “the seed of attraction” by the Hindu occultists, the attention of the Source of the force is attracted and what may be called a kind of downward door or valve is opened; then, throughout the body of the mantra the force pours into the form; and finally, with the sound “Swaha”, that force is sent out to do its work.

Sobre ANEMIA: EL abismo que desangra LATINOAMERICA y un hallazgo al alcance.

 

Sabemos que Latinoamérica presenta un doloroso problema de anemia. Esto se ha traducido en una cruzada para proveer a la población alimentos ricos en Hierro. Pero será acaso la solución más efectiva, innumerables personas no mejoran en absoluto su anemia con suplementos de hierro. Entre sus efectos secundarios tenemos: dolor abdominal, nausea, vómito, estreñimiento, dolor de garganta y calambres.  

Pensemos cual es el Rol del hierro, y es llevar el oxígeno  desde la sangre hacia la célula, y luego regresar para tomar otra molécula de oxígeno. Es decir, va de aquí para allá en un círculo continuo,  es un trasportador de oxígeno, que va de la sangre a la célula. UN aspecto clave del Hierro es que precisa estar en movimiento. Vamos a ver que el principal problema del Hierro no es carencia, pero su falta de circulación. Mas bien suplementar hierro, además poco ineficaz, resulta corrosivo, es el mineral que mayor capacidad tiene de generar especies reactivas de oxígeno. El Hierro, aun siendo esencial también abre las puertas a un alto grado de oxidación, es el maestro supremo de la oxidación, y si alguna vez han observado un metal retorcido y granuloso,  carcomido por el óxido, buscaran evitar similar herrumbre en el cuerpo.


La historia del hierro no es separable del Oxígeno.  El Oxigeno produce el 90% de la energía del cuerpo, pero también produce el 90% del residuo metabólico. En el temido stress oxidativo participa conjuntamente el Fe y el O2, un desgaste que normalmente no sentimos sino cuando alcanzamos los 47 o 49.  La mujer deja de menstruar, y deja de limpiarse del excedente de hierro, en el hombre la acumulación ha llegado al punto que empieza a crear problemas en el sistema cardiovascular. Nutrido del estrés oxidativo del hierro, un primer síntoma es  la disminución de la vista.  AGREGAMOS un miligramo de hierro cada día nuestra vida, es decir unos 360 mg al año. POr tal motivo, se sugiere donar al menos una unidad de sangre una vez al año, y si la ferritina esta elevada hasta 3 unidades al año. Personas mayores de 50 deben medir regularmente la ferritina para cuidarse del excedente de hierro.

Según Morley Robins, el exceso de hierro en el cuerpo puede originar una larga lista de enfermedades que incluye:

Sobrecarga de Hierro=: Demencia, Alzheimer, Amenorrea, enfermedad cardiovascular, Hipoglicemia, depresión, esplenomegalia, Hipotiroidismo, baja libido, impotencia, Cirrosis, artritis reumatoide, sarcopenia.

La anemia deficiente en hierro, llamada ferropénica, se considera el principal problema, y todos los esfuerzos en sanar esta condición, giran alrededor de suplementos de Fe como el Sulfato ferroso. Pero no hemos perdido Fe, hemos perdido la capacidad de mantener el Fe en homeostasis, en circulación.

A los alimentos fortificados de Hierro, sin hablar metáforas, se les agrega limadura de Hierro, un suplemento no solo innecesario pero contraproducente. Es un hierro toxico que se convierte en oxido. Pero lo más incoherente es que supone que estas deficiente de hierro, cuando no es el caso. NO debemos confundir hierro en sangre con hierro en la célula. Es posible que no tengamos hierro en sangre pero que abunde en las células, y no solemos hacer exámenes de Fe celular. El problema es que el Fe esta adherido a la célula, y no se mueve libremente.  Es como que veamos un mar lleno de  barcos, pero no hay pilotos que los naveguen.  El cobre sería el mineral que circula al hierro. Generalmente es común presentar deficiencia de Cu y no de Fe. Sin Cobre el daño oxidativo del hierro impregna y extiende por todos los tejidos, mientras que en la mitocondria el hierro literalmente se aferra.

¿POR qué carecemos de Cobre? El problema de la deficiencia de Cobre y magnesio deriva de los agro-fertilizantes NPK, ( Nitrógeno Fosforo y Potasio) los cuales impiden y frenan que el cultivo pueda absorber niveles adecuados de estos minerales. Por otro lado, los minerales que más se pierden con el estrés emocional son el magnesio y cobre.  Tensión emocional agota las reservas de Mg y Cu. Cada vez que pisas el acelerador del carro estas causando una disminución del combustible en el tanque, del mismo modo cada evento de estrés está reduciendo el magnesio y el cobre en el cuerpo.  Así mismo, la excesiva acumulación de Fe en el cuerpo genera perdida de magnesio.

 Existe una tortuosa relación entre Mg y Fe en la mitocondria. El magnesio fomenta la producción de energía mientras que el Fe la obstruye, generando gran cantidad de especies reactivas de oxígeno, ROS. La hemoglobina no tiene mitocondrias, porque contiene Hierro y Oxigeno, una combinación que resulta fatal en la mitocondria. Enzimas ricas en Cobre son las que previenen la oxidación de la mitocondria. La enzima central de la mitocondria es citocromo C oxidasa la cual es rica en Cobre. Hierro atascado en la mitocondria es un estímulo para la inflamación, activa la IL6, se le denominan “células toxicas de hierro”.

Es mejor no ver el metabolismo del Fe de forma aislada. Pero como un metabolismo enlazado y reciproco de Fe/Cu. Es una relación desigual porque para cada molécula de Cu hay 60 de Fe. El hierro en la hemoglobina está en  la proteína HEM, y no podemos generar HEM sin Cu, necesitamos la enzima Ferroquelatasa para insertar el hierro en la porfirina del Glóbulo Rojo, la cual depende del Cobre. Así mismo, las proteínas necesarias para sintetizar la proteína HEM suceden en la matriz mitocondrial. Sin Cobre la mitocondria se empieza a sofocar de daño oxidativo producido por el Fe. El mecanismo para preservar y reciclar la vida de los glóbulos rojos es la HEMO Oxigenasa que depende del cobre.  El resumen el Fe tiene que ser movilizado no suplementado, y debe estar integrado en homeostasis con el Cu.

A veces una analogía ayuda a entender las cosas con claridad. Antiguamente en la alquimia medieval se decía que el hierro es de Marte y cobre de Venus, por eso Fe no puede vivir sin Cu, el Fe no se mueve si no hay Cu. El Fe es inerte pero el Cu es inteligente. El Fe trae destrucción y guerra molecular, daño oxidativo, el Cu trae armonía y lo apacigua al Fe.

Si el Fe no está visible en sangre debemos cuestionar y preguntarnos como estará en los tejidos y no correr a suplementarlo.

Hay múltiples variables que juegan y la anemia no se reduce a falta de Fe. En el embarazo los niveles de hemoglobina gradualmente declinan, este fenómeno se llama hemo dilución. Esto viene a ser una desregulación del Fe, por falta de Cu y retinol, Retinol es la forma animal de vitamina A. Un alimento muy efectivo para la anemia es el hígado de res, de vacas de pastoreo, y en este órgano encontramos el doble de Cu que de Fe.

Efecto de Arthrospira máxima ( Espirulina) en el tratamiento de la anemia Ferropénica. Serge Paico Marín, Pedro Chimoy Effio, Orlando Marulanda Orozco. Universidad San Pedro Ruiz Gallo, Chiclayo.

En este experimento en mujeres gestantes se comparó el efecto de Sulfato ferroso 200 mg que aporta 40 mg de hierro elemental, versus 7.5 gramos/día de Espirulina que aportan 11.25 mg de Hierro elemental. El estudio argumenta que la superior respuesta de la espirulina se debería a que aun cuando provee la cuarta parte de Fe,  la forma de hierro orgánica de la espirulina sería de mejor biodisponibilidad a la del Sulfato ferroso. Pero lo que no han analizado es que la Espirulina es una formidable fuente de Cobre. Una cucharada de espirulina, con 7 gramos, aporta 427 mcg de cobre, lo cual es casi la mitad del requerimiento diario.  Si tenemos mejor respuesta a la anemia con la cuarta parte de hierro (40 mg vs 11.25 mg), entonces la diferencia seria probablemente el cobre y no el hierro.

Los célebres y laureados científicos Krebs y Wartburg, juntos realizaron un estudio revelador donde a unas aves las desangraban hasta el umbral de la muerte. Lo que observaban es que fisiológicamente respondían multiplicando por un factor de cuatro la producción de enzimas dependientes de cobre convertidoras de sangre. Las aves estaban preparándose enzimáticamente, produciendo proteínas de cobre, para producir hemoglobina.

Muchas de las enzimas claves para producir hemoglobina son dependientes de Cobre. Por ejemplo, para regular la vida del glóbulo rojo necesitamos Hemo oxigenasa, la cual es regulada por cobre. Una proteína clave para producir energía en la mitocondria es el citocromo c oxidasa y es dependiente de cobre. 

Deficiencia de Cuà Sobrecarga de Feàstress oxidativoàdeficiencia de Mgàexceso de Caàcalcificación/inflamación.

Estrés emocionalà deficiencia de Mgàexceso de Caàcalcificación/inflamación.

¿Entonces qué necesitamos para afrontar esta Anemia endémica?

Una proteína importante a entender es la Ceruloplasmina, es la cupro-proteína que transporta cobre en la sangre, esta proteína contiene 6 átomos de cobre. Transporta más del 95% del cobre del plasma, el restante 5% lo lleva la albumina. La ceruloplasmina traslada el Hierro de su estado Fe+2 ( ferroso) a Fe+3 (férrico). Esto es lo que se conoce como una enzima Ferro oxidasa,  vuelve el Hierro más inocuo. En este estado ahora el cuerpo puede trasladar el hierro en la transferrina desde donde se transporta por todo el cuerpo si generar daño oxidativo. La transferrina solo puede cargar hierro en su estado férrico. Enzimas Ferro oxidasa como la ceruloplasmina son centrales en detener la corrosión del Hierro. Un importante protector y neutralizador del proceso oxidativo del hierro es la vitamina C.

Ahora para que el cobre pueda subirse sobre la Ceruloplasmina, necesitamos Retinol, la forma activa de vitamina A. Las formas toxicas de cobre son las trazas que no están adheridas a la ceruloplasmina, es un tipo de cobre libre llamado cobre lábil, situación que se evita con niveles adecuados de vitamina A, la cual también nos protege de la anemia. 

Lo que debe quedar claro es que no estamos deficientes de Hierro, y segundo que el cobre no es tóxico, como algunos razonan.

Iron and copper metabolism. 

Miguel Arredondo 1, Marco T Núñez. Mol Aspects Med. 2005

Abstract

Iron and copper are essential nutrients, excesses or deficiencies of which cause impaired cellular functions and eventually cell death. The metabolic fates of copper and iron are intimately related. Systemic copper deficiency generates cellular iron deficiency, which in humans results in diminished work capacity, reduced intellectual capacity, diminished growth, alterations in bone mineralization, and diminished immune response. Copper is required for the function of over 30 proteins, including superoxide dismutase, ceruloplasmin, lysyl oxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, tyrosinase and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase. Iron is similarly required in numerous essential proteins, such as the heme-containing proteins, electron transport chain and microsomal electron transport proteins, and iron-sulfur proteins and enzymes such as ribonucleotide reductase, prolyl hydroxylase phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and aconitase. The essentiality of iron and copper resides in their capacity to participate in one-electron exchange reactions. However, the same property that makes them essential also generates free radicals that can be seriously deleterious to cells. Thus, these seemingly paradoxical properties of iron and copper demand a concerted regulation of cellular copper and iron levels. Here we review the most salient characteristics of their homeostasis.

LA TOXINA CENTRAL DE LA HUMANIDAD ES OMNIPRESENTE Y POCOS LA CONOCEN. No sabemos dónde se encuentra y a diario la deglutimos.

 

En la opinión de muchos especialistas, existe un creciente consenso sobre un central veneno al que está expuesta la humanidad, probablemente el que más problemas de salud despliega.  NO seria el mercurio, ni el cadmio, aspartame ni tampoco azúcar, es mucho más grave, debido a que ignoramos su clandestino poder para arruinar la salud. Es ubicuo, y podría decirse omnipresente en los restaurantes y múltiples comidas procesadas, es difícil evadirlo, incluso muchos razonan que sería saludable. Toda nuestra cocina, incluyendo la Gourmet lo emplea. Nos referimos a todo género de aceites vegetales refinados de semillas ricas en omega 6, aceites de soya, maíz, maní, girasol y sus congéneres. El solo hecho de ser rica fuente de omega 6 representa un inflamatorio problema, el hecho que además contenga grasas trans, refuerza este oceánico problema.

Años atrás escribí el libro “LA Gran Revolución de las Grasas”, y viéndolo en retrospectiva resuelvo que quizá subestime el peligro de estas grasas.  El libro fue un Best seller y si tan solo los lectores del libro y sus respectivos hijos han eludido estos aceites hemos logrado un importante paso para preservar la salud. El libro es más relevante ahora que en aquel entonces, debido a los nuevos hallazgos de la ciencia, sobre lo cual quisiera hacer unas observaciones, actualizaciones y finalmente una hipótesis.

En animales de laboratorio donde se busca inducir el cáncer para experimentación, se ha observado que aun empleando sustancias cancerígenas se facilita inocular y activar el tejido maligno cuando se incluye en la dieta del roedor aceites omega 6.

El aceite omega 6 es natural en semillas de muchas oleaginosas, es incluso esencial, pero dada su ubicuidad, es virtualmente imposible tener deficiencia de este aceite en la dieta. Lo común es que el promedio de personas tiene un marcado exceso de este aceite en sus células.

¿Por qué exactamente es tan peligroso? UN hallazgo critico a entender, es que según a sean los aceites que ingerimos, tendremos la composición de las membranas celulares, así como las críticas membranas mitocondriales. Si estas membranas pierden la permeabilidad, invitamos a una degeneración progresiva de los tejidos, centrado en procesos de falta de energía.

La energía celular en forma de ATP es lo que usa el cuerpo para reparar sus tejidos y estructuras.  Una célula sin energía no tiene los recursos para auto repararse, es como un hospital sin presupuesto para limpieza y mantenimiento, donde todo el monumento prontamente se volverá escombros sucios e inservibles.

   En el infante recién nacido las membranas están compuestas de solidas grasas saturadas, y fosfolípidos, pero con la dieta de aceites vegetales de cocina, progresivamente las membranas son reemplazadas por aceites de alta permeabilidad como el omega 6, además de las grasas trans que tienen estos aceites refinados. Uno de los fosfolípidos críticos para la mitocondria es la cardiolipina. Lleva en su etimología “cardio”, porque los cardiocitos, las células del corazón contienen unas 3000 a 5000 mitocondrias por célula. El deterioro de la estructura de la cardiolipina resulta medular en el declive de la salud en el ser humano. 

No tener membranas firmes e intactas, es equivalente a perder el potencial eléctrico en la mitocondria. LA cardiolipina es 20% de la Mitocondria, pero es 50% de los fosfolípidos que forman la cadena de transporte de electrones CTE. En la mitocondria ocurre la CTE y la gradiente de protones, ambos esenciales para producir energía, y son procesos que requieren membranas operativas. Cardiolipina es esencial para producir energía, peroxidación de cardiolipina resulta destrozo para la energía. Lo más lamentable de consumir aceite vegetal es que enclava el omega 6 dentro de la cardiolipina, y demora 7 años en salir del cuerpo. Como si fuera un matrimonio equivocado y peligroso, sazonado al principio, pero fatal con el tiempo, cada mililitro de aceite vegetal de cocina que consumes estará demoliendo y perforando la salud durante siete años de la vida. 

El epicentro y núcleo de la comida chatarra se arraiga en estos aceites. Otra cosa seria la comida chatarra, si le quitamos aceites vegetales refinados,a la galleta de soda, al chocolate con manteca vegetal,  las papitas de Mac Donald´s, al arrebozado de KFC, y el pollo a la brasa también. 

 Ahora sorprenderá saber cuál es la mayor fuente de esta grasa en nuestra alimentación. Resulta que NO es la flotante de capa de aceite que ungimos sobre la sartén. Al menos en estadísticas de EE. UU., resulta que la principal fuente de omega 6 en la dieta deviene del pollo. Debido a que las aves se alimentan de maíz y soya ricos en aceites omega 6, estos naturalmente se concentran en la grasa del pollo, así como también del huevo industrial. Un pollo a la brasa nos brinda este grasoso problema que pocos advierten, aunque inadvertidos lo disfrutan. Se agrava el problema si el alimento es transgénico, lo cual es normativo en el alimento balanceado.

 Hace poco atendí una paciente Zootecnista de 34 años con enfermedad de Párkinson. Resulta que trabaja para avícola más grande le país, (evito nombres de empresas, para eludir represalias). En esos galpones colmados de gallinas, almuerza a diario pollo. Le pregunto qué comen los pollos y no lo sabe, es un secreto de la San empresa. Hace unos años atrás formulé la misma pregunta a otro ingeniero Zootecnista que trabaja en la misma corporación, y su respuesta fue la misma, ningún empleado sabe exactamente qué comen las aves.  Surge la pregunta por qué tanta incógnita y secretismo. En el Perú, aun siendo país pesquero, la canasta diaria de consumo presenta pollo. Se consume Pollo varias veces a la semana, a veces a diario, tenemos múltiples platos criollos a base de pollo. Como nación que depende del Pollo en la base de su pirámide alimentaria, una pregunta central a responder es qué comen estas aves, ya que de ello depende la calidad de la carne, y por extensión la salud del país.

 NO pretendo saber qué comen las aves de esta empresa, pero es razonable suponer que es alimento balanceado de maíz y soya de origen transgénico. Si fuera el caso, tendremos trazas de glifosato en la comida, además de regulares concentraciones de omega 6 en la carne.  El herbicida más usado del mundo el Round up, técnicamente Glifosato, aun siendo altamente toxico, fue aprobado por la FDA con el argumento que las plantas presentan vía de Shikimato mas no los animales y por lo tanto no afectaría la biología del humano. La vía del Shikimato es un mecanismo en plantas y bacterias que les permite formar aminoácidos aromáticos, que son el triptófano, la tirosina y fenilalanina.  Shikimato fue un japones que descubrió este critico mecanismo para producir estos aminoácidos importantes en la salud humana. El no poder sintetizar estos aminoácidos (AA) resulta en la muerte de la planta o bacteria. Lo que omitieron señalar es que la microbiota humana si tiene una activa e importante vía del Shikimato. Sin embargo, sabemos ahora que el Glifosato gravemente afecta la salud humana en múltiples aspectos, como ser quelante de manganeso, e interferir con la síntesis de glicina.

 Si consumimos glifosato estamos bloqueando la capacidad de la microbiota para sintetizar estos aminoácidos. Triptófano es el AA base para producir serotonina, y la Tirosina para formar Dopamina.  UN cerebro sin dopamina tiene depresión, apatía, o enfermedad de Párkinson.  Si además sumamos la cantidad de aceite omega 6 que termina en nuestras membranas por consumir este aceite, nos damos cuenta del alcance e impacto que tiene en la ecología humana. Finalmente considero de interés nacional que el pueblo conozca la naturaleza exacta del alimento que se administra a los pollos en los galpones de producción de escala industrial. Promover el alimento sano para los animales. Si se va consumir pollo, que sea organico certificado. Indiscutiblemente el Perú es un Líder en gastronomía y seria ejemplar que lleve el liderazgo y tome una postura correcta con el tema de aceites vegetales de cocina.  Cocina Gourmet y saludable.

¿QUÉ DIFERENCIAS ENCONTRAMOS EN EL INTESTINO DE LOS QUE PADECEN COVID SEVERO Y LOS ASINTOMATICOS?

 En un estudio publicado en el 2021, vemos que el microbioma intestinal está involucrado en la magnitud y la severidad de Covid 19, posiblemente por un mecanismo de modulación de la respuesta inmunológica.

La carencia de microorganismos inmunomoduladores en el intestino contribuye a la severidad del Covid 19. El estudio concluye que impulsar el desarrollo de dos bacterias en el intestino puede menguar la severidad de la enfermedad.

Básicamente las personas que presentaban protección contra el Covid 19, presentaban niveles mayores de Bifido bacterias, y Faecalbacterium prausnitzii. Estas dos bacterias son importantes para mejorar la respuesta inmunológica. En la siguiente tabla podemos encontrar una lista de alimentos prebióticos que alimentan a este género de bacterias.

Abstract: Chinese medicine offers valuable insights regarding the influence of the environment on health. The text explores the mechanisms of action of physical influences, such as water, light and magnetic fields on human health, using the model of Chinese medicine. It explores how surface skin chemistry affects the functions of internal organs, seeking to collect evidence on a variable that is not dietary, pharmaceutical, exercise or stress level related, which nevertheless plays a central role in cardiovascular health. By understanding the action of different spectra of ultraviolet and infrared light on the skin, the impact on cardiovascular health is evaluated, using the markers of nitric oxide, sulphated cholesterol, chromophore proteins of the mitochondria and the impact on the zeta potential in the blood. Our premise is that a central and neglected way to address Shao yin (Heart and Kidney) pathology comes from the interaction of external influences, such as water, electromagnetism and sun light.

 When we observe an Orange in its separate structures, we find the rind pungent, the pulp acid and the seeds bitter. When we move from the exterior towards the interior, judging from the taste and to some extent the colour, the forces seem to transform from a centrifugal direction towards a contracting and finally descending and gathering motion.

 It’s noteworthy that both peel and seeds of orange store oils, are in fact mostly the same essential oil, namely D-Limonene, (peel 90.58%, vs seed 81.73%), yet both contain an important proportion and concentration of the remaining nineteen different essential oils present in oranges. Both the external visible skin and the deep-seated seeds are interconnected by their oils. So, the question is, what are the nature of the relationships between the skin and seed of the orange? 




 Similarly, in the human body we find correspondences between the skin and innermost organs. Chinese medicine links surface Tai Yang with deep rooted Shao Yin. The Nei Jing is also an in-depth analysis of the relationship of the cosmos to human health. Our question is what is the nature of the outer influences on the inner organs. 

The premise we will work from is that Physics dictates biology and not vice versa. Sun and skin biology determine the function and wellbeing of the inner organs. In the realm of biology however, Quantum physics holds a special place, and its influence is conveyed by a triangle of Light, Water and Magnetism. In this respect, we may say that Light is predominant in Heaven, and Magnetism on Earth, and Water in Man. We can also add that, the Great Yang, (Tai Yang 太阳) as the sun is called in mandarin is a positive cathode, and the Earth (Di 地) is a negative anode, and to complete the circuit we have the water content in Man. 

 We have found, both theoretically and in clinical practice, the practice of taking sunlight while standing barefoot, and under the conditions of proper hydration, are deeply therapeutic. This we call the “The Tree Cure”, it simply takes the basic elements required for life as a tree, namely water, sun and earth. It is a practical application of the philosophy Heaven, Earth, Man. Practiced daily, there seems to be no medical condition which cannot benefit, improve or completely resolve from the “Tree Cure”. Its no simpler than drinking water, removing shoes and shirt, and to sit or stand barefoot on the grass or soil.

 Within Chinese cosmogenesis, we have two different modalities, the Created Axis, where Man stands Between Heaven and Earth, and a Creative Axis, where Heaven creates Earth, and Earth Creates Man. The creative axis, which is considered prenatal, seems to be in harmony with the understanding that Light is also a form of electromagnetic force, and it is the influence of these two subtle forces which finally shape an determine the ultimate course of human biochemistry.
What is visible (看的见), is yin, what is not visible (看不见) is Yang.Light force and EMF belong to Yang.

When a cell wants to divide, previous to its passage of the various the phases of cell mitosis (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase), there is an important phenomenon that takes place. With the help of a photo multiplier, we are able to observe that in every instance there is an emission of light, in the form of bio-photon, or extreme low frequency UV light (Van Wick 2016). It is a spark of light that gives the signal for the cell to enter cell DNA replication and cell division. A strong cell anchors light, in the same way a good blood stores the warmth of yang. In his book “Light in Shaping life”, Roeland Van Wick explains that weak and deficient tissues like tumours emit light, healthy tissues do not drop its energy quanta with light release. 

 We can say that the voltage of a cell, its zeta potential, and its redox potential are enhanced by regular sun exposure. It is in fact the action of the sun over water. Tai yang and Shao yin rule water. Injury to Tai Yang 太阳conformation develops into cold damage, all the first chapter of the Shan Han Lun is devoted to this subject. But perhaps we fail to acknowledge the role of Tai yang in health, which is to warm the water and blood: UV and IR both stimulate these cell energy expressions. If the cell does not receive energy from magnetic fields, and light, it will have a hard time to generate the necessary bio-photons for cell division. In that case, as an adaptation mechanism, the cell activates a unique response.

 About 5 to 8 percent of our genome is retrovirus. The Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HER) is a retrovirus which is part of the human genome. It’s a virus that can behave as an oncogene, yet it has a vital function in human life. The placenta displays a vast activity of HER; in fact most mammals have this virus active in gestation. it is believed to have a role in securing the immune system is compatible with the genetic information carried in the foetus. In adult life these retroviruses perform many vital functions when editing the genome is called for. 

 It’s our hypothesis that lack of normal healthy bio-photon emission, challenges healthy cell division, and guides de cell along adaptive biochemical pathways. It possible that HER is activated to edit the genome, enabling it to allow cell division. The use of retrovirus as an adaptive mechanism that has enabled a faster evolution. 

 It appears that even though HER activity is a mechanism that supercharges the adaptability of the human species, HER activity over an extended period of time can alter the genome information, to an extent that it becomes unfavourable, especially if causative factors have not been addressed. For example, promoting uncontrolled cell division. It is known that HER is a retrovirus commonly active in many forms of cancer, and autoimmune diseases. (Matteucci 2018)

 HER is particularly active in cancers, and autoimmune diseases often associated with low vitamin D levels, like colorectal and gastric cancer, also hormone dependant breast and prostate cancer, likewise autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, LUPUS and ALS, which are also associated with low vitamin D levels. This leads to the insight that deep seated genetic disorders (Shao yin), may find resolution and healing, when the surface skin biology (Tai Yang) is heeded. IT also explains why both Tai Yang and Shao yin are related, and why both belong to the exterior.

 One may prescribe many appropriate Fu Zi medications, for Internal Shao yin, yet if the physics of the environment are ignored, the results will be unsatisfactory. When we observe a group of firemen around a fire, we don’t think of them as guilty of the incident. However, when we find cholesterol plaques in the scene of a heart attack, or a stroke, we find it responsible for a crime against life. We seem to hold a rather reductionist view about cholesterol; Cholesterol= fat= atherosclerosis=compromised cardiovascular system= blood clot= stroke= death. Cholesterol has become a sensitive theme of nutrition, a terror for many, but how rational and legitimate is this anxiety? 

The biochemistry of the body can be divided by two big fractions; those which dissolve in fat, (lipophilic) and those which dissolve in water (hydrophilic). Cholesterol belongs to the first group, but it has a unique versatile quality, both hydrophilic and lipophilic when it converts to cholesterol sulphate. As if a ghost it can move freely, within spaces, where cholesterol normally has no access. (Rodríguez 1995).

 Before the abundant arrival of oxygen, the first forms of life evolved in the form sulphur metabolizing bacteria. Sulphur and oxygen are two key molecules for life. Sulphur has a heterogenous range of valences, from -2 to +6. Yet for health we are especially interested when its bonded to oxygen, sulphate, SO4, were we have 4 critical molecules of oxygen, also it expresses a valuable negative charge (SO4-2). The negative charge of cholesterol sulphate gives voltage, electric charge promotes circulation, and repels agglutination.

 Like oxygen, sulphur supports aerobic metabolism. From the intuitive sphere of beliefs of alchemists there are three elements related to fire; phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. In the blood this subtle radiance is called "Zeta potential", a scientific expression coined to describe the electrical charge or electro-kinetic potential in fluids, usually expressed in millivolts. The magnitude of zeta potential indicates the degree of electro static repulsion between the particles in a solution. A high Zeta potential indicates resistance towards coagulation, low levels of zeta potential indicates that the colloid tends to aggregate or decant. 

The reasoning that prevails is that fat consumption obstructs arteries, a situation where stroke becomes imminent. With obstructed coronary arteries, an angioplasty or bypass are the golden standards. But the reality is that a heart attack is produced by the action of a thrombus and often the clot is installed in a region of the cardiovascular system that does not necessarily present vascular obstructions (Rothenberg 2013). However, the cause of blood clotting is a low Zeta potential. Like the plumbing of a house, the problem is not always failures of the pipeline itself, but the excessive density of the fluids that circulate within it. At home plumbers flush and change the water density, they don’t broaden the cylinders.

 In a review of 12 clinical trials, a meta-analysis involving more than 5000 patients, there was no reduction in myocardial infarction attributable to the use of angioplasty in any of their presentations.

           "Conclusions; In patients with chronic and stable coronary disease, in the absence of a                           recent myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention offers no benefit in                                terms of death, myocardial infarction, or the need for subsequent revascularization                                 compared with conservative  medical treatment. " (Katritsis 2005) 

The way the body sulphates cholesterol is through the action of ultraviolet light. In the same way, that vitamin D becomes sulphated vitamin D under UV. Another great sulpho-lipid hormone, key to hormonal health in men and women, which also derives from cholesterol, is DHEA, (dehydroepiandrosterone). We could say that cholesterol is a very special molecule, but acquires extraordinary properties when it is activated by the sun.

 Sulphated cholesterol is a critical protector of the heart and cardiovascular system (Ma 2008). It delivers oxygen to the muscles through myoglobin, provides cholesterol to the cell membrane, provides energy to the cell. 

A cell membrane made of cholesterol has different and lower properties than a membrane formed 
 by sulphated cholesterol. It is in our benefit that cell membranes are built from sulphated cholesterol. The speed of exchange along the membrane of cholesterol sulphate is an order of magnitude faster than un-sulphated cholesterol (Rodríguez 1995). Even so, it would be pertinent to add that the type fat which damage the permeability of the membranes, and increase the risk of primary cardiac arrest, are trans fats (Lamaitre 2005). 

Thrombin is an enzyme that plays an important role in blood coagulation, it has been noticed that cholesterol sulphate serves as an inhibitor of thrombin in blood plasma (Iwamori 1999).

 The solar radiation over the skin, fulfils the role of converting nitrates, (NO3), into nitrites, (NO2), and finally nitric oxide, (ON), (Weller 2010). This gas, is produced in the epithelium of the arteries it then diffuses into the smooth muscle of the arterial intima and generates arterial vasodilation. 

                                             NO-3àNO-2à ON                                                    

 In a quest for pectoral angina remedy by serendipity scientist discovered Viagra where its active ingredient is sildenafil which supports production of nitric oxide (NO). The NO dilates and promotes circulation, the sun therefore acts as an antihypertensive agent. It has been observed that an effective and unfailing medicine for high blood pressure is exposure to sunshine. (Vatakencheryy 2019, Kiani 2018) Remove the shirt and shoes and receive 20 minutes of sunshine, severe hypertension may need two similar sessions a day. 

 Some researchers (Nathan 2010), believe we have wrongly blamed cholesterol as focal target responsible for cardiovascular health, when the problem is a decline in nitric oxide production with age.  



The biological motive for stimulating vascular dilatation, is to increase the surface exposure of the blood to facilitate greater contact of cholesterol and red blood cells to ultraviolet radiation. 

Red blood cells have two proteins, haemoglobin which absorb infrared light, while porphyrin absorbs ultraviolet light. Here again we have a photoelectric effect acting on red blood cells, to give them propulsion, a movement with anti-agglutinating repellent forces. 

 Photons acting on the surface of the skin generate a phenomenon called Rayleigh-Bénard convection. To understand this force, let's use the analogy of porridge bubbling in the pot. The heat emitted on a single surface generates a circular movement of the fluids, from the inside out. Thus the deep seated blood, emerges, circulates and takes contact with the sun. 



 On the other hand, water being a polar substance, exposed to photons can be divided, in proton, H +, and hydroxy radical OH-, the sun will separate the charges of water that will take contact with hydrophilic substances such as collagen. We will then have a power source and DC voltage. These electrons and protons will be available for the mitochondria, both the electron transport chain and the proton gradient. The interaction of sun and water creates energy. 

 When the body raises LDL cholesterol, it actually does so for two possible reasons; first it is an indication of low levels of cholesterol sulphate. Cholesterol sulphate inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol (Strott 2003). Another common event is the role of cholesterol in neutralizing endotoxins and bacteria. Few understand that cholesterol plays an antibiotic and cleansing role, it absorbs and purifies the body of intestinal endo-toxins, particularly Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria (Kitchens 2003) (Kazuyuki). As a summary, we can say that when the body raises cholesterol, we should try to understand the mechanisms it seeks to compensate. 

 The sun energises to the blood, we can see in the zeta potential. Cholesterol sulphate gets finally converted into calcitriol the active form of vitamin D in the Kidney. Cholesterol sulphate is also a key nutrient for heart cardiocytes. Heart and Kidney link via Shao yin becomes evident as does the interdependence with surface Tai Yang.

 If excess carbohydrates are consumed, the microbiome will become simplified, leading its way to intestinal dysbiosis and overgrowth of beta-proteo-bacteria, a group of highly inflammatory Gram-negative bacteria predominate. The intestinal inflammation, causes increased intestinal permeability. By the phenomenon called translocation of endo-toxins, lipopolysaccharides LPS leak to the plasma, the blood becomes toxic, and the body uses cholesterol as a sponge to absorb and neutralize the LPS (Kitchens 2003). When the body raises cholesterol it’s because it deeply knows what it’s doing, using a statin does not solve the inflammatory problem, or blood viscosity, intestinal permeability, or lack of sulphated cholesterol, actually reduces cholesterol sulphate. (Senneff 2011). 

In the colon once again, we find something interesting, to heal and regenerate an intestine, activation of intestinal stem cell is needed, who activates this cell is vitamin D. Hence, colon cancer is strongly linked with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D down regulates the expression of Beta catenin, a protein that when over expressed, causes activation of colorectal cancer stem cell processes (Yilmaz 2018). The intestinal tight junctions create the barrier that controls intestinal permeability. However, it degrades and ruptures when vitamin D levels fall below 30 ng / ml. On the other hand, subcutaneous fat, is the most important reserve of stem cells, is the reserve bank for all forms of regeneration that the body will need during life. One way to activate the stem cells of subcutaneous fat is by means of infrared light over the abdomen (Emelyanov 2015). 

Whether it be intestinal stem cell lying in the crypt of the intestinal villi, or dormant stem cells in subcutaneous fat, in both cases their activation is dependent on a surface event initiated by exposure to sunlight, UV and IR respectively. Ancestral Jing essence 精 is activated by the suns electromagnetic forces. 

The reason why it is not a good idea to ingest vitamin D capsules, is because it carries the message to the body that has sulphated cholesterol, and halts a cascade of key biochemical pathways for cardio- vascular health. Also, as we have explained the sun offers a host of other benefits, which are not vitamin D related. The prevailing thought, practiced by millions, is reasoning, the sun is dangerous, and it will be better to ingest vitamin D in capsules. Vitamin D carry no yang EM forces, and will not interact with skin chemistry, thus failing to create the external/internal dynamics explained in Chinese medicine. 

Skin cancer and ultra violet: Within the skin there is a sinister path, its starts in actinic keratosis, a precancerous lesion, and advances towards cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, in an order of evolution ranging from 0.025% to 16%, (Ratushny 2012). If this is not controlled, we have invasive cutaneous carcinoma. 

The mechanism by which ultraviolet rays can activate the path towards cancer is through the effect of UVB on a tumour suppressor gene, p53 (Ratushny 2012). But perhaps it is a simplistic and incomplete position to declare that ultraviolet is carcinogenic. With this argument it would also be valid to incriminate oxygen as highly toxic, omitting mention that it is also essential for life. 

The agent that inactivates the p53 gene, namely UVB, is the same one that generates vitamin D, which several meta-analyses reveal is protective against cancer. (Grant 2017) (Cedric 2006) (Autier 2007). The consensus of these studies indicates that an effective prophylaxis to avoid cancer is to maintain high levels of vitamin D, plasma levels between 70 and 100 ng / ml. Ignorance added to fear always brings problems, in this case, fearing skin cancer, the public could be exposed to a higher risk of contracting other types of neoplasm. Additionally, the antitumor and cancer-preventive action of sun exposure is not limited to vitamin D (Hanvan 2012) 

It is only excessive exposure to UVB – excessive to the point of photo-carcinogenesis – that de-activates the cancer suppressor gene p53. Naturally, common sense and moderation must prevail.

 Vitamin D is protective against cancer. However, many of the anti-tumour effects attributed to vitamin D may also be benefits of cholesterol sulphate. It protects against cancer, diabetes and improves immunity. (Mitri 2013) (Papandreu 2015) 

From 1974 to date, melanoma grows at a rate of 2% per year, along with oral cancer, it is one of the leading cancers in epidemiological expansion. Similarly, sales of sunscreen have increased 30-fold. With regard to squamous cell carcinoma, a Cochrane meta-analysis (Sanchez 2016) was unable to conclude whether or not sunscreens are protective. Some specialists postulate that the same cream could be aggravating, (Zamoiski 2015) a hypothesis that could have substance, if the list of ingredients is analysed. It is one thing to shield ourselves from the sun, but intoxicating the skin should not be the price to pay. 

Epidemiology and geography studies indicate that the sun is protective of cardiovascular diseases (Weller 2010). If there is a lack of exposure to the sun, through the same metabolic pathway of cholesterol synthesis, the body generates cholesterol instead of generating vitamin D. This is confirmed by the fact that the body raises cholesterol in winter (Grimes 1996). . (Grimes 1996) 



 Observing the axis on the table referring to death rate, we ask ourselves why institutions do not promote the sun, while conversely sunscreen is promoted. It is worth remembering that the different types of skin cancer do not appear even among the first 10 causes of death. In the statistics of deaths from cancer itself, lung cancer occupies the first place, while melanoma and squamous cell skin cancer occupy 23 and 24 respectively, in spite of the fast-growing number of cases.

 Very low levels of cholesterol are now frequently found in humans, and are more dangerous than high levels. Perhaps the central question is not how to reduce cholesterol levels, the story is more complex, more accurate is to ask what mechanism is failing and thereby causing the body to raise cholesterol as a measure to ensure balance and homeostasis? 

Cholesterol sulphate is produced by the action of solar radiation on cholesterol at the skin surface. It serves as a substrate for the synthesis of sulphated steroids, such as DHEA sulphate, and pregnenolone sulphate (Gurpide 1966). From pregnenolone we obtain the hormones like oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Cholesterol sulphate is present in high concentrations in the male reproductive tract, avidly absorbed in the outer membrane of the sperm. Within the epididymis of the testis cholesterol sulphate stabilizes the sperm and inhibits the acrosin protease, which activates the metabolic pathway of fertilization. Within the female reproductive tract, the sulphate radical is released, inhibition is reversed, and there is a cascade of events called acrosome reaction that leads to fertilization (Langlais 1981). In all these events we observe immersion of surface yang, working its way towards yin. Like the oils from the skin towards the seed of an orange. 

 The journey towards sleep starts with tryptophan an aromatic amino acid, which is highly sensitive to UV light, this amino acid is the building block for serotonin. Melatonin it created in the eye with the help of ocular melanocytes, converting serotonin to melatonin with the help of UV light, then stored in pineal gland. Interesting to observe that something which is created with light gets only gets released in darkness. 

 The discourse up to this point, draws on cited studies to develop our understanding of the exterior-interior, Yang-Yin relationships of processes and chemical pathways which, in the absence of (sufficient) exposure to solar radiation, give rise to pathology. 

 If one considers that the skin as a supplier of cholesterol sulphate, and nitric oxide, then the skin could be understood as a large solar panel which provides energy to the heart. It also provides electrical charge for porphyrin and haemoglobin, as well as managing the separation of charges from water. The sun transforms solar energy to chemical energy, especially in the links between cholesterol and sulphate, as well as vitamin D and its sulphate.

 Nitric Oxide is an important metabolic modulator of the mitochondria, and it is worth remembering that the mitochondria, which represent 30% of the weight of the heart, also has four proteins that are chromophores of light, the first respiratory complex absorbs ultraviolet, the cytochrome c oxidase of the third respiratory complex absorbs infrared, and the Hem proteins of the ATP synthase of the fifth respiratory complex absorb both UV and IR. Both animal mitochondria and plant chloroplast derive evolutionarily from a symbiosis of bacteria, from the family of cyanobacteria and rickettsia respectively. While the chloroplast synthesizes carbohydrates the mitochondria burns carbohydrates, the first emits oxygen and the second consumes it, the chloroplast absorbs CO2, while the mitochondrion releases it, but the common characteristic of both is to originate from a symbiotic relation with bacteria and to be light chromophores. 

There are various elements of physics that determine biochemistry which deserve to be researched. Chinese medicine is based on a central premise. 气 为 血 之 帅, 血 为 气 之 母. "Energy is the commander of blood, blood is the mother of energy". A purely biochemical and molecular paradigm is insufficient. Diet or medication is not necessarily the only or best way to heal. The “exposome” variable, that is, the sum of environmental influences, also deserves consideration. 

The forces of the sun act primarily from the exterior towards the interior, via the eye and the skin. The heart takes oxygen from the exterior towards the inner cell. Yang is a centripetal motion, whereas yin is centrifugal in its direction. We can observe that every cell has 2 major centres, the metabolic centre is the mitochondria (which has several chromophores) and the genetic centre is within the nuclear membrane.

 The moon governs reproduction and monthly cycles, while sun governs daily circadian rhythms. Sun governs the cortisol/melatonin axis, cortisol is liberated in the morning, around 5 am, while melatonin is freed around 9 pm. Melatonin is the hormone of light, its created with light, it’s an action of UV light over tryptophan, and subsequent conversion of serotonin, yet it will only be released in darkness. If circadian rhythm is altered there can be no harmony at the endocrine level. 

 The reproductive hormones, are also influenced from cholesterol sulphate, and its generator the sun photons. But the movements of progesterone and oestrogen follow a monthly rhythm. 

 We return to the relationship between Heart and Kidneys. They are bound in a Shao yin relationship, as a continuous meridian, shao yin of hand and shao yin of foot. Yet also this couple of inner organs is once again paired with Tai Yang on the exterior. 

 Tai Yang normally uses pungent Gui Zhi (RAmulus cinamoni) and Ma Huang (Ephedra sinica) to open the surface, while Shao Yin Uses Fu Zi (Aconitum carmichaelii) a gathering and astringent pungent, to open the paths. The point we want to make is that though they are both pungent, the direction of the force is opposite. The other noteworthy point is that Gui Zhi is the exterior (bark) and Fu Zi is the interior (root). 

 IF the shao yin governs Jing and hereditary energy, Tai Yang governs epigenetic expression of genes. Epigenetic phenotype is able to override the genetic blueprint. It is the suns who work on surface biochemistry that modulates genetic expression. IT is therefore the sun (yang) through its action on the skin, whom to a large extent determines the inner workings of the interior, including hormones, genes and blood. Adequate sun exposure is able to override gene expression. One important mechanism is via the retrograde signalling from Mitochondria towards nuclear DNA (Bagkos 2015). What needs to be made clear is that the processes that take place in human physiology are not merely biochemical phenomena, Electromagnetic forces govern biochemistry. 

According to the Shang Han Lun, we have 3 levels of paired interaction. Exterior, half interior half exterior and Interior. 
 Tai Yang – Shao Yin = Exterior 
 Jue yin – Shao yang= Half Interior half exterior 
 Yang Ming- Tai Yin= Interior 



 In this context it is correct to consider Shao yin as an exterior syndrome Another perspective and insight originates from understanding embryology. The ectoderm is where cells of skin and nervous system are derived. In fact, epidermis skin cells, neurons of the brain and pigment cells, all derive from the Ectoderm.

 The narrative of the Nei Jing is based on space and time dynamics. The oxygen, zeta potential, and sulphates in blood all come from the environment. Light, water and magnetism are the primary forces of biology. Biology does not determine the laws of physics; it is physics who regulates and defines biology at all levels. On the other hand, unlike Chinese classic texts, in modern academic circles, the progress of the science of physics shows a low level of interaction with the development of biology. 

 It is evident that modern life, has led humanity towards artificial electromagnetic fields, artificial light and indoors living, and bad quality water. We assert that the “Tree cure”, regardless of how simple it may seem, is a fundamental medicine to restrain or resolve medical conditions, both hereditary and epigenetic. The Tree cure is based on the medicines of a tree, namely sun, earth and water, stand barefoot on earth with no shirt and drink water.

 Placing the cosmic sun as a central axis in the pathologies of the heart, is a bold and novel concept, of which requires equally extraordinary level of evidence. We assert that the scientific exploration of these relationships between solar radiation and the biochemistry of blood will be a rich source of inquiry and lead to positive outcomes for the prevention and management of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. Equally important is understanding of the diverse mechanisms by which solar energy via the skin is able to heal the deeper layers of the body, affecting blood, cholesterol, endocrine system and the genome.
