This New "Superhero Molecule" Is a Game Changer for Us
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Got widespread discomfort, brain fog, fatigue, insomnia? What about hypersensitivities? Wondering what ties all these disparate symptoms together? Well we now have an answer!
Past research pointed to two key processes contributing to these:
- Activation of hypersensitivity-triggering mast cells.
- Activation of brain-regulating cells called "microglia."
It's common to see both of these activating together, wreaking havoc in your body. But no one understood why both triggered together. But new research now shows why and offers a solution to both — and it's helping people feel sooo much better!
The Discovery
During times of severe stress and distress, certain cells in our bodies make a “superhero molecule” called PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) that comes to the rescue. Those two cells I listed above are key cells that both produce PEA. They activate production during stress and stay activated, even when they can’t produce enough. And it's this excess activation that's the missing link that ties all those symptoms together. It not only causes them, but also directly suppresses the hypothalamus.
Energy Drinks Aimed at Young People Linked to Deaths
Highly caffeinated beverages marketed to teenagers is a health danger, and even deadly, as alledged in multiple recent lawsuits.
As Dr. T is quoted in the Newsweek piece, "They're creating the next generation of junk food and energy loan shark addicts. They're basically creating a coterie of addicts. They want an addicted generation. That's good for business, but really unhealthy for the kids."
$3.7 Trillion Lost Due to Long COVID
David Cutler, PhD, a professor of economics at Harvard University, believes the total economic loss caused by long COVID could be as high as $3.7 trillion, when factoring in the lost quality of life, the cost in lost earnings, and the cost of higher spending on medical care. His estimate is more than a trillion dollars higher than a previous projection he and fellow economist Lawrence Summers, PhD, made in 2020. The reason? Long COVID.
"The higher estimate is largely a result of the greater prevalence of long COVID than we had guessed at the time," Cutler wrote in a paper released in July.
