Kinins provoke pain when in contact with nerve endings

[Guest guest]

The following not exact quote is from from a thirty year old book called " Brain

Allergies: The Psychonutrient Connection " by H. Philpott, M.D. and

dwight H. Philpott I have had forever. Philpott was (is?) a psychiatrist but

when talking about the brain one should include the entire nervous system. He

has very interesting things to say about nutrition and pain and disease and the

nasty stuff food does to people who react wrongly to it. I believe the entire

book is on the internet.

" The pancreas is the first endocrine-exocrine organ to be influenced by contact

with ingested foods and chemicals. It has the task of making useful metabolic

products from the ingested substances and also of buffering against reactions to

any of the substances. If the pancreas is overstimulated like any other organ it

will not function well. The over stimulation can be caused by any addiction (or

too much of) of alcohol, foods, chemicals, tobacco, etc. Most affected in

pancreatic insufficiency is the bicarbonte production, the enzyme production,

and least of all its insulin production.

One of the most important functions of the pancreas is to supply enzymes that

aid in the digestions of proteins to amino acids which act as regulatory

mechanisms over inflammatory reactions in the body. Among the several substances

in the human body capable of evoking inflammatroy rections are the tissue

hormones known as kinins. Kinin reactions are usually the the most severe and

the most painful. The hormones are evoked by inflammtory substances-(foods,

chemicals, and so on) to which a person may be allergic. Consequently symptoms

of all kinds are caused by the production of kinin inflammation in specific

tissues or organs responding to contact with specific allergy-evoking sobstances

and are capable of actually blocking the rise in Kinins. These substances are

powerful enough to prevent the kinin reaction from occurring.

Inefficiency of pancreatic enzymes is poor digestion of proteins to amino acids.

These enzymes are built from amino acids and if they are deficient, these

inflammation resolving and blocking enzymes will also be deficient. This all

sets up a whole chain of deficiencies but poor digestion of proteins to amino

acids occurs and unusable inflammation evoking protein molecules are absorbed

through intestinal mucosa and circulated in the blood, reaching tissues in

partially digested form. As only partially digested they are treated as invaders

and estabish kinin mediated inflammation.

Kinin inflammations are more likely to be painful than other reactions because

kinins evoke pain when in contact with nerve endings. "

I think this is a pretty clear explanation of how food causes pain to our

nerves. I was unable to find any other studies that did anything interesting

about this. Too bad. It did however encourage me to think my taking of all these

enzymes will help to keep my insides working and give me fewer symptoms. I see

some evidence of new eyzymes being developed. TG!
