INFECTIOUS SOCIO-HORMONAL POTENCY
Human Growth Hormone may be the key to eternal youth, but hormones in general, because they are cell-cell signaling molecules, are the catalyst for multicellular life and a driver for the evolution of complex traits. As an endocrine signaling mechanism hormones not only are essential for communicating within and between cells, tissues and organs, and for coordinating development and whole-body physiology in vertebrates, but they can also be shared between organisms from different kingdoms. Besides the cultural adoption of lifestyle habits that affect our hormone profile, we are also influenced by our culture and community through stress hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones and sleep hormones. This phenomena is a ripple effect of emotional contagion or empathic state resonance, that spontaneously and unconsciously coordinates behavior, limbic regulation and social organization is social groups. In standard society, if we are not exposed to hormonally potent individuals in the form of A-type personalities, outdoorsmen, sports people or raw-yogis then we are likely to become hormonally deficient with age and lose our zest for life.

I was taking DHEA for several weeks and noticed a slight increase in energy and aliveness. However Swanson’s vitamins had a 99c sale on melatonin so I thought I would give it a try as a “downer” counterbalance to the “upper” nature of DHEA. Melatonin levels decline with age, and studies show that supplementing melatonin may bolster the immune system, provide antioxidant protection, slow the growth of tumors and cataracts, ward off heart disease, improve sleep and reduce aging. First time I tried melatonin prior to going to bed I slept till noon and woke feeling grounded, relaxed, rejuvenated and rested. The solar plexus was open and resonating in Alpha frequency. DHEA along with melatonin and sungazing may be a method of remaining hormonally potent while living in a social sphere that is composed of the standard population of those who are not initiates, creatives or visionaries. The other key factor in generating hormonal potency is getting adequate iodine, as Iodine levels in US soil have fallen 50 per cent over the past 50 years and US soil is already deficient in iodine. To increase my iodine intake I am using Lugol’s Solution along with 1 Tbsp of kelp a day.
