"Without disso-nance one would not know reso-nance " and God only knows the infathomable truths being grasped for by Derek-Nance
These ideas are meant to be stream of consciousness musings, with the intention of illustrating the extreme discrepancies between the Raw Paleo world view and the western science interpretation. Dissident emotionally driven expressions are sometimes necessary when more direct avenues of debate and logical discussion have been restricted by the structural hierarchy of a system no longer directly connected to its subjects....In such circumstances it can be helpful to build up, and grasp at these straw men, then eventually burn it all to the ground so one can start anew.....so long as one is aware that is what is being done..and one does not become overly obsessed or pathological in slant....these methods can be useful in communicating ones feelings and frustrations to the cold and heartless world without losing soul...Its human nature when left no other recourse, to project upon the" lab coated gentry" all the blindness and confusion one feels inside and out, and form endless rationalizations for maintaining an eternal Us Vs Them mentality.
The trick to having productive discussions with the narrow minded and science blinded is in knowing how to broaden the colonoscope without overstimulating the physician's dogmatic reflux mechanism(metaphorically speaking)
Now regarding the sanctity of the gut and the candid discussion of candida. Much is left to be described regarding how an optimal digestive tract primes itself in accord with the symbiosis of life's interconnected and mutually arising systems, and how that differs in digestive tracts that fail to deliver optimally.
This priming mechanism and cooperation between organisms works on many levels and the science behind it has long been established when describing the living landscape of the surface skin. The body is covered in skin and there are sweat ducts and oil glands under the surface that excrete substances via the immune systems lymphatic drainage mechanisms which act in many ways to promote a number of healthy biological functions....These secretions are intentionally formulated prebiotically to feed bacteria on the skin which in turn synthesis necessary hormones which are then reabsorbed by the body. These substances when combine with bacterial excretion also release powerful pheromones which signal potential mates when optimal genetic mergers are in the vicinity.
These symbiotic relationships are also occurring within the gut, where the lymph fluid is excreted into the intestinal mucus.... when everything is optimal these excretion mixtures of slimy enzymatic manna are produced and designed specifically to break down food for optimal assimilation as well as be the substrate for symbiotic bacteria. This mixture also contains immune cells designed to trigger healthy inflammatory responses to the presence of undesirable elements.
I have seen the guts of animals having all levels of quality and the best I have seen are encased in a layer of fat, that has very light colored lymph nodes embedded into it. The best nodes taste creamy and have a sweet juiciness. The intestinal secretions are slightly bitter, but not repulsive..... the upper intestines are much more full of digestive enzymes, while the lower are covered in a thicker and creamy mucus. After I manually remove much of the grassy digesta there remains a slimy coating of mucus in the large intestine which contains the inner mana slime which is very nourishing when eaten raw and unwashed.
There is a recurring theme which comes to mind when pondering cyclical consumption nature of life. The trees drop their leaves each cycle, the leaf mould returns to the soil to nourish the roots, these roots are symbiotically in relationship with types of fungus that produce the enzymes and factors needed to absorb nutrients while protecting it from being dissolved by the mold and bacteria decomposers. Life abounds in these relationships which are not only a part of the life process they are at the heart of all of life as we know it....from the microbiologic, to the macro-Gaian-ologic
Many phenomenon in the universe can be better understood using analysis of the spectral nature of things. This brings things back to the optimal aspiration of the life spectrum...in such a state digestion is fully functional and intune with all the other bodily systems. The excretions are in accord with what is required to process the food substrate, the immune response system is strong but not over active, and is capable of turning on catabolism of the aberrant elements, then turning off the attack, while the anabolic systems are switched back on to rebuild. All the enzymatic systems are working together, the pancreas, liver, lymphatic, endocrine...The mitochondria are taking in every bit of energy needed, while the storage of glycogen and fatty acids leaves nothing left for the bottom cleaners to parasitise....In such conditions there is no place for the establishment of yeast overgrowth or any other form of pathogenic biofilm. The body takes what it needs and excretes the rest much to efficiently for these conditions to take hold.
Lower on the health spectrum where things begin to go badly, there is a breakdown in the optimal functioning of the integrated systems. The liver could be stressed, the pancreas not excreting optimally, the lymph clogged with antigenic waste, the nervous system inundated with metal toxicity and electrolyte imbalance. Only when these other conditions are first met will symptoms such as yeast overgrowth be able to manifest. In this view its important to realise yeast overgrowth is a not only a symptom, but its also an imperative necessity needed to clean up the mess left by a defunct metabolic system. The discomfort and symptoms of overgrowth when the situation reaches this point will not be cured with the elimination of yeast...this is why many people after going through a yeast cleanse have much less yeast in the system, but still feel bad. Unless the underlying insufficiency are remedied, the symptom of overgrowth in response to anti yeast protocol will only transform itself into an other form.
This spectrum could be taken even lower into the more morbid zones when the basic functions have deteriorated to the point where the organism can no longer maintain viability, at this point overgrowths of nagging pathogenic organisms are no longer enough to clean up the mess and shock the system into compliance with natural law, other more stronger interventions are needed, such as retrovirus or cancer. This too is a part of the creative intelligence built within the design of life...only our limited capacity for understanding often leads to misconceptions and interpretations of what the cancer phenomenon actually represents....leading to the epic tragic folly of modern oncology...where cancer is seen as a daemon that must be purified by hell fire....instead of something inherently necessary and natrual for reasons yet to be fully determined.
At the base level, at the end of the line, there is of course Death, and at that point the game no longer is worth the struggle, and the systems are released into the great recycling bin, the genetic material cannibalised and then phoenixed into the following generations.
From this spectral perspective, no condition happens in isolation, all positions(fair or fowl)are equally an integral part in the entire life process....from aspiring growth toward the optimal, to the plateau of homeostasis, to longing for recovery, and in the end praying for release....Personally I no longer buy into the theory that modern technology or contemporary understanding can, will or should be used to liberate us from going through these age old undulations in the path-ill-logical wheel of birth and death. Its much more to my personal taste to focus on cultivating gut level intuition, and allow it leeway needed to flow with minimal strife through the life cycle.
