RE: Insulin and Parasympathetic system

[Guest guest]

jgv,

With the current epidemic of diabetes, researchers are going strong studying

insulin. There have been a lot of " oh my goshs " coming out of it the last

years. You may have noticed about two years ago, there were articles all

over using the words " Atkins was right " . It really wasn't just about

losing weight. They have been realising insulin is a very significant

player in a tremendous amount of body functions - most importantly, the

brain and nervous system. Insulin is right there at the receptor points

involved in signal transduction which means it is affecting most functions.

I'll share some of my articles I have stored you may find interesting. It

isn't just diabetes - it's the most predominant problems occurring today.

(So I stay low carb)

Insulin and Parasympathetic system

Would you please spell out for me the relationship between the

parasympathetic nervous system/relaxation hormones and insulin?

Thanks, jgv

I disagree. The parasympathetic and relaxation-related hormones are

insulin-dependent.

Lights Out! Sleep, Sugar and Survival sees schizophrenia as the ultimate

state of insulin resistance in the brain, cerebral type II diabetes,

constant summer in your head. Think year round extended days, light and carb

filled food supply.
