Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSD
I’m curious to know why the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure works for PTSD, and if it something that could “cure” PTSD with multiple treatments, or if it is just a tool to temporarily manage symptoms. I am also curious if there is a difference in its effectiveness between males and females. As a female veteran I have received this treatment myself and have experienced its effect but notice its effects are not permanent - why is that? Is it akin to anethestic?
Stuck in Cell Danger Response
I would love for you to do an episode on this, especially now that mitochondrial function has been touched on in a few episodes. Maybe even interview Naviaux to explore this topic? How does it affect the microbiome, inflammation, brain function, mood, metabolism and energy, stress responses/ANS, etc, etc, etc? What can someone do if they are stuck in a cell danger response? Are there protocols to get unstuck? What about individuals who work in constant high stress jobs?
Soundwaves/music
Thank you so much for doing what you do. You’ve changed my life. Forever grateful. I would love to know what sound waves do to us. And if frequented matter. I have tried to research and found some studies of high frequencies combating cancer. I have seen how sound waves create patterns in water and on sand and would really like to know what effect they have in our water based bodies. Clearly the waves are penetrating more than our ears. As a musician I tune down from standard concert pitch because it is easier to sing when the notes are closer together. It feels more natural and I feel as though it makes a difference in my body but would love scientific backing for this theory. Thank you for considering this topic.
Morning Sunlight
First, thank you for all the valuable information you provide! While I understand the value of morning sunlight. I get up at 4 am, long before the sun (and the competition ;-) ) what is the best way to accomplish the morning sunlight when getting up this early? Also, does it still have the same value if I have been up for 2 hours before the sun comes up?
