Guest guest Posted December 16, 1998 Report Share Posted December 16, 1998 This brings to my mind the broader issue of homeostasis. here is what I recently read. Anyone care to comment? " HOMEOSTASIS is the tendency of the body to maintain an equilibrium condition wherein all bodily conditions are stabilised at normal levels. The body will gradually neutralise the effect of almost any substance thatis repeatedly put into it over a long enough period of time. Most herbs lose all effectiveness when taken over a period of 6-9 months. This may happen because the body develops special enzymes to digest or break down the active principles present in the herb. At other times, the body may develop antibodies in the blood that will neutralise an active principle. When a herb subject to homeostasis (and almost all are) is taken regularly, sensitivity to it decreases lineraly until all the herb's effectiveness has been lost. Once full homeostatic resistance has been reached, it takes 5-7 years of abstinence from the substance in question before maximum sensitivity is regained. In order to prevent homeostatic resistance from reaching the point where an herb is no longer useful, one should not take the herb more than one third of the time " Gray Tom Harrelson wrote: > > From: " Tom Harrelson " <tharrels@...> > > ----Original Message Follows---- > From: " Saul Pressman " <spressman@...> > oxyplusonelist > Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 10:01:16 PST > Reply-to: oxyplusonelist > Subject: Re: ISOLATED SUBSTANCES > > From: " Saul Pressman " <spressman@...> > > Dear Tom, > > I agree with you that isolated and concentrated substances are not what > the body wants or needs. > > I know a biochemist who took phramaceutical grade DHEA for six months or > so.
