So I chat on this one website. I was the last one to speak. No one said anything for days after that which is highly unusual. I thought someone died. That is exactly the next story someone told. Someone's father had died.
Is it a coincidence or is it hormones kicking in? I think it has something to do with quorum sensing since I have chronic candida. Isn't THAT a cool idea? Single cell organisms have the ability to talk to one another and wait until there are enough of them to storm the castle en mass to ensure their success.
Similar creatures live in squids and symbiotically cause them to glow. The squids use the light to communicate with other squids and when the day comes they flush all but 5% of the microorganisms out of their bodies so they can rest in the darkness. How long does it take for the microorganisms to repopulate? Exactly the time it takes for the moon to rise again.
So why couldn't microscopic critters living in our intestines alter our perception? If you got enough practice surfing this wave, could you learn to use it? Candida love progestone and can actually lengthen the amount of time a woman's body puts it out before the estrogen causes a massive die-off. Ah, but not before they've reproduced, getting ready for the next month. And what do they eat? Grains. Especially wheat. And what can't celliacs eat? Grains, especially wheat (gluten), dairy (casein), and soy (industrial strength adhesive). And what is one of the extreme symptoms of celliac disease? Epilepsy. And what makes the symptoms go away? Not eating wheat, dairy or soy. Why? Because the time it takes for your body to digest wheat is the same amount of time it takes for candida to flourish and try to steal the nutritients from you...poisoning you with all kinds of nasty chemicals like formaldehyde as they die and also causing an allergic reaction that ultimately dissolves the villae in your gut. All's fair in love and war. So while your liver is fighting all the toxins, your progesterone filled body is craving serotonin, the crack cocaine of neurotransmitters. If you don't already have a migraine, that is. And where do serotonins come from? Carbs like wheat. How does one escape?
Can living with chronic candida increase your sensitivity? And why are there so many celliacs? Because wheat is 55% gluten as opposed to its distant relative who was 5% gluten? Or because God likes a good sci-fi story?

Here's something I found:
"Wuji Hundun Qigong, is a 1,200-year-old health maintenance system from China handed down by 95 year-old Master Duan Zhi Liang of Beijing, China. Drawing on Taoism, Buddhism, the Wuji form conforms to the basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which in fact sprung from Qigong concepts that go back 5,000 years. Like all Qigong in this way, the enhanced movement of Qi (life-force, bioelectric vitality) is promoted throughout the body as
well as the storing and strengthening of Qi for good health. TCM believes stagnant Qi leads to all pain and disease. Proven useful for healing many diseases, this simple style actually has it's roots in ancient wushu swordplay and gong fu (Kung Fu) inner cultivation of Qi--as useful for the healer as it is for the warrior...and soon we understand how they are one in the same...
Wuji Hundun Qigong is a unique blend of inner (Nei Qi) and outer (Wei Qi) cultivating techniques. Master Duan comes from the practical "old school" of healing arts. He believes a practitioner must also be a teacher. A healer must be a warrior. An intellect must pursue the arts. Our prayer is to seek balance...and we seek balance by letting go of "form"...and seek the essence of all things.
The Mandarin Chinese word "hundun" can best be described as "chaos." The intention of Wuji Hundun Qigong is to consciously introduce chaos into our experience. I once met Nobel Prize laureate Ilya Prigogine who explained his prize-winning theory. He said, "All evolving biological systems must reach their maxim state of perturbation (chaos) before they take the quantum step up to their next higher state of order." He knew nothing of Qigong (consciously)
but understood what Master Duan knew intuitively. All our destructive patterns are steeped in the locked and stagnant habits of our lives. Until we can "break" or change those patterns, we are forever trapped and our growth--and health--is limited. Introducing chaos, mixing things up a bit energetically, can promote our natural healing abilities to engage. Even momentary shifts from our patterned "safe zones" can provide us conscious, and unconscious perspective shifts.
Outwardly, Wuji Qigong is an exercise and stretching system, focusing on synchronizing the breath with slow movements and guided visualizations. Upon deeper study, the transformative nature of this health maintenance modality becomes apparent. Balancing the Taoist and Buddhist traditions of China, Wuji Hundun Qigong seeks to strengthen the body (the mandate of the Taoists) while enhancing spiritual life (the essence of the Buddhist
doctrines.) Ultimately, a merging of the two takes place, not intellectually, but through "wu xing" or deep, emotional understanding. Written and oral teaching can only seek to trigger and stimulate you, the true wu xing must come from within--as the truth derives from nature and is constantly accessible. Through cultivating your inner Qi and spirit, you become strong, not as an "individual" against the world but as an integral part of the world; a mirror reflecting light...Sincere practice with an intention to remain receptive is the key...as we come to realize the holistic nature of Wuji Qigong will effect the body, mind, and spirit."
