Good information to help explain why it takes time to heal!

In long term cases, I often talk about layers. What someone is experiencing 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 is rarely the whole story. Over time, things like 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬, 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 can all leave their mark. Each of these becomes a 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝.

When someone comes to me, my first job is not to 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞, but to 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰. Sometimes the deeper constitutional picture is there, but it is covered by something more recent or more intense. That 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, otherwise treatment can feel stuck or confusing!!

I often see people who have a clear long term pattern, but after a 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤, 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, everything shifts. 𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 suddenly dominate. In that situation, I focus on helping the body 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐰, so the deeper pattern can show itself again later.

As a layer clears, 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧, something from childhood, an old skin issue, an emotional theme.
This can be worrying if you do not expect it, but very often it is 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 in its own order.

Chronic healing is rarely 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭. It is a process of 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭. Working with layers allows healing to happen more gently, safely, and with 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬.

Wow!!!

A research team from the University of São Paulo published a paper titled “Methylene blue photodynamic therapy induces selective and massive cell death in human breast cancer cells” in BMC Cancer in 2017, showing that methylene blue becomes highly cytotoxic to breast-cancer cells when activated by 640-nm light. In their in-vitro experiments, breast-cancer cell lines were treated with methylene blue and then irradiated at 640 nm (4.5 J/cm²), which caused extensive destruction of cancer cells while normal breast epithelial cells were far less affected under the same conditions.

The investigators found that this therapy did not rely on classical apoptosis; instead, it disrupted intracellular organelles, interfered with autophagy pathways, and triggered a rapid, overwhelming form of cell death to which cancer cells were uniquely vulnerable.

Although the findings reveal a strongly selective anti-cancer mechanism, the work remains limited to laboratory cell-culture models, meaning further studies in animals and humans are required before any clinical application can be considered.

This is a great place to start if you have trouble sleeping!

Drinking chamomile tea is an incredible way to calm the nervous system and have the deepest sleep of your life due to the presence of its active compound, apigenin, which binds to GABA receptors in the brain. This binding has a sedative effective, reducing anxiety and slowing down the nervous system to encourage drowsiness. Additionally, chamomile contains melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

To elaborate on the mechanisms of action:

📑GABA receptor modulation: APIGENIN, a key compound in chamomile, produces sedative effects by affecting GABA receptors. GABA is a neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system.

📑Neurotransmitter pathways: Chamomile influences other neurotransmitter pathways, including those for serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, which play roles in mood and anxiety.

📑Hypothalamaic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis: Some evidence suggests chamomile can modulate the HPA axis, a system that regulates the body’s stress response, reducing symptoms of anxiety over time.

EVIDENCE IN HUMAN STUDIES:

📑Reduced anxiety symptoms: A randomized, controlled trial found that chamomile extract was significantly more effective than a placebo in reducing overall anxiety symptom scores in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) after just 8 weeks of treatment.

📑Long-term effects: long-term use may lead to even better long-term benefits on psychological well-being and may help prolong the time to relapse of anxiety symptoms.

📑Well-tolerated: Chamomile has general been reported as well-tolerated in studies, with very few mild side effects.
