contagious yawning
Why do you think contagious has a social modulation? For example: Norscia I, Zanoli A, Gamba M, Palagi E. Auditory Contagious Yawning Is Highest Between Friends and Family Members: Support to the Emotional Bias Hypothesis. Front Psychol. 2020 Apr 3;11:442. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.00442. PMID: 32317997; PMCID: PMC7147458. Do you think yawning could be a primitive form of empathy?
Tomatidine and now NMN banned?
Years ago, back in 2007 I sustained a pretty nasty head injury. Long story short, I couldn't run or exercise worth a darn without getting sick and dizzy. I tried different supplements and Tomatidine actually worked. While taking it I was able to barely pass PT tests then around 2010 it was banned and I was back to failing PT tests and by 2014 I was separated from the military. That one miracle supplement had made it possible for me to perform and it was banned. Now they're banning NMN? Is there a country to move to that doesn't ban supplements that work? It's easier to buy crack than it is to get green tomato seed extract.
Supplements to help alleviate symptoms from PTS
I’m a veteran that suffers from severe PTS. As a child my parents divorced when I was young. I wasn’t loved and nurtured most of my childhood as I had 5 brothers and 1 sister. I lacked a father almost all if not all of my life. The times my Dad was there he tried to manipulate me to go against my mom and grandparents. After surviving my teenage years, I then layered very traumatic military experiences to my collection of traumas. It took 31 years to start to understand how my childhood and military experiences were affecting me. I am in extremely good shape, I seek counseling on a weekly basis and have for the past 10 years, I’m conscious on what I eat and drink. I try to focus on the 6 pillars of mood and mental health as best as I can. I’ve been to weekends or retreats that also focus on all these topics. Although I'm doing all of the above consistently, I'm scared I'm running out of options to help myself which starts to resensitize thoughts I'm not capable of being normal. I’m 32 years old and feel like I’m so far behind what living life actually means. Are you aware of any supplements that can help to alleviate some of the feelings one might feel from their PTS?
SCI nerve damage and healing time
I’m 2 yrs post op from C2-T2 fusion, because my right hand stopped working. It became infected and spent months hospitalized and had 5 more surgeries. I know infection impedes healing, but not sure how much. I recently stopped antibiotics. Could nerves still heal or improve enough to get function back? Now only thumb and middle fingers have partial function . Had previous posterior C2-C6 fusion with C5 anterior corpectomy from failed laminectomy. Is there any new treatments for damaged spinal cord? C3-C4 cord damaged along with C7 which caused right hand to stop functioning. At which point is gaining function back a lost cause? A side note: I feel if one is getting their neck adjusted by a chiropractor, there should be an mri done, not just X-rays. How do they know when they are crushing the spinal cord if they’re only looking at X-rays? Or an I missing something? It would have saved me a lifetime of surgeries, nerve pain and loss of function. Thank you for making this information available! I greatly appreciate it! Diane
