How does traditional Chinese medicine employ brewer’s yeast?

Knows HebrewJust now

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has employed brewer’s yeast, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in various ways: Tonifying and Strengthening Formulas: Brewer’s yeast, argued to have invigorating and strengthening properties in TCM. It is sometimes included in formulas intended to tonify qi (vital energy) and build up the body’s overall constitution.

Digestive Support: Brewer’s yeast is thought to have a beneficial impact on digestion and gut health. It may be used in TCM formulas to regulate the spleen and stomach, improve appetite, and address issues like bloating or poor absorption. The pancreas has no meridian in TCM. The primary organs of the stomach & spleen absorb, perhaps dominate the functions of the pancreas.

TMC argues that the beta-glucans and other compounds in brewer’s yeast are believed to have immunomodulating effects. [Immunomodulators impact the immune system: a vast network of organs, white blood cells, proteins and other chemicals that protect you from threats.} TCM practitioners may use brewer’s yeast to help strengthen the immune system and improve resistance to illness. Some TCM approaches, brewer’s yeast – used to help manage blood sugar levels and support healthy glucose metabolism.

Brewers yeast has immunomodulating effects which impact the liver in traditional Chinese medicine. In TCM, the liver – considered one of the key organs responsible for immune function and regulation. Strong liver function – a crucial role in maintaining the balance and proper functioning of the body’s defence mechanisms.

The impact influence of brewers yeast upon immune system in TCM thought, it has a direct impact on the functioning of the liver. The liver, as the Monarch of the body’s defences, would be closely involved in mediating these immunomodulating effects. The Cancer disease by the above metaphor, therefore qualifies as a Civil War within the human body which seeks through death, to over-throw the rule of the Monarch king.

Therefore ingestion of brewers yeast enhancing the liver’s ability to regulate and coordinate immune responses; it supports strong liver function which clears and cleans toxins and pathogens effectively from within the body. Therefore TMC promotes inclusion of both brewers yeast together with wheat bran in the normal diet because they invigorate the liver’s capacity to maintain homeostasis and balance within the body’s immune system. By supporting the liver’s role in producing and regulating key immune cells and factors.

TMC likewise argues that these critical food supplements impact the functioning of healthy kidneys. The kidneys, a key TMC meridian. Considered one of the foundational organs of the body, responsible for a wide range of vital functions. The kidneys body functions include: the central role in managing the body’s fluid homeostasis (the maintenance of relatively constant internal conditions within the body).

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

[[[This idea requires investigation. The complex and dynamic nature of biological regulation, involves numerous interacting systems and mechanisms that do not always strive for some static dogma of some imaginary single set ideal. Walter Cannon’s homeostasis theory emphasized the body’s ability to maintain stability and resist change in the face of external disturbances. However, the body continually adjusts and adapts to changing environmental conditions. Change the diet of the foods traditionally or habitually ingested, for example.

The internal organs of the body they possess a natural variability and flexibility. The relationship which the internal organs share with one another through Chi/ATP almost always operate within a dynamic range of values rather than some static fixed point. The human body, not a permanent fixed bridge which overpasses a dynamic ocean. Biological systems by definition involve disruptive processes throughout the course of life; inflammation, stress responses, and developmental changes etc continually rock the boat floating on the ocean of human health.

In short, the human body simply not a closed set of systems, nor an isolated entity as Cannon’s oversimplified theory suggests. Living organisms exist as an emotion\spirit interchange which constantly interact with their environment, and that this dynamic exchange demands respect. Just that simple. TCM developed a conceptual understanding of dynamic physiological regulation that aligns with some of the principles of allostasis which contrasts and opposes Cannon’s theory of homeostasis.

Herein introduces the Dynamic Balance (Yin-Yang): the importance of maintaining dynamic balance between opposing forces, known as yin and yang, within the body. The body’s ability to respond to changing internal and external conditions, rather than just maintaining a static state of homeostasis. the concept of “zheng chi” (or “righteous chi”/sometimes translated as “qi”) represents the body’s adaptive and defensive capacities, which allow it to respond to and withstand various stressors and environmental changes.

Strength and balance of zheng chi essential for the body’s ability to maintain health and well-being in the face of internal and external challenges. The body as a interconnected system, where the various organs, meridians, and physiological processes are closely interrelated and interdependent. This holistic perspective aligns with the allostatic concept of the body as an integrated, dynamic system that responds to multiple, simultaneous demands.

TCM emphasizes the importance of individualized diagnosis and treatment, recognizing that each person’s physiological responses and adaptive capacities can vary. This allostatic viewpoint argues that individuals have different set points and thresholds for physiological regulation/cell metabolism, depending on each individual’s unique biological and environmental factors. Therefore the underlying principles of dynamic balance, adaptive capacity, and holistic integration which defines the TCM approach to healing shares conceptual similarities with the Western scientific theory of allostasis rather than Cannon’s western dogmatism of homeostasis.]]]

As said prior to the dispute over theory, TCM views, the kidneys as one of the foundational organs of the body, responsible for a wide range of vital functions. The kidneys are responsible for filtering and eliminating waste and toxins from the body. Healthy kidney function influences the strength and development of the bones. As well as intimately connected to reproductive and sexual health. They play a central role in managing the body’s fluid “allostasis”.

TMC argues that Brewer’s yeast nourishes & strengthens the kidneys, is assists their overall vitality and function. The immune system exists as a vast network of organs, white blood cells, proteins and other chemicals that protect against threats. Germs and diseased cells, like cancer cells, cause a healthy immune system to spring into the fight, like a king goes out to war. The inclusion of brewer’s yeast in TCM, to assist the kidneys’ role in eliminating toxins and waste from the body.

Wheat bran, together with brewers’ yeast an excellent food supplement that replaces carbohydrates. Strengthening the spleen and stomach: ((As mentioned above the pancreas subsumed between these two great meridians.)) Wheat bran, considered a “warm” and “tonifying” substance in TCM, meaning it can help strengthen and support the digestive organs, particularly the spleen and stomach. Reflexology, manipulates the spleen spot on one foot and the stomach spot on the other foot. By directing a chosen spirit through the breath concentrating upon the memory felt in the opposing feet, such a directed spirit meditation directly impacts the pancreas.

Consumption of wheat bran as the sole carbohydrate ingested in ones’ diet, it promotes proper transformation and transportation of food, and support the overall functioning of the stomach and small intestines, another key TMC meridian. The fiber content in wheat bran functions as a gentle laxative, which helps to regulate bowel movements and alleviate constipation. “Dampness” (a TCM concept related to fluid imbalances) in the digestive system. Wheat bran absorbs and reduces “dampness”.

Brewers’ yeast functions as a tonic which strengthens the spleen and stomach, similar to wheat bran. It enhances the body’s ability to break down and assimilate nutrients, improving overall digestive function. The probiotic nature of brewer’s yeast helps to regulate internal flora. This probiotic nature of brewer’s yeast maintains necessary balance of gut microbiota, thus supporting intestinal health. It assists to regulate bowel movements, improve appetite, and address other digestive concerns.

As mentioned above the pancreas not included in the 10 major meridians. The pancreas functions in TMC as a subsidiary, indirect role in the overall balance and function of related meridians and organ systems. Not recognized as a distinct organ like the liver or lungs or kidneys etc. The functions are considered to be encompassed within the broader categories of the spleen and stomach meridians and organs.

TMC holds that the spleen responsible for the transformation and transportation of food and fluids, closely tied to the pancreas’s role in regulating blood sugar levels and glucose metabolism. Imbalances or issues in the spleen meridian may be reflected in pancreatic dysfunction or metabolic disorders.

The stomach meridian, known as the “sea of water and grains,” responsible for the initial processing and transformation of food. The stomach’s role in digestion is interconnected with the pancreas’s exocrine functions, such as the production of digestive enzymes. Disturbances in the stomach meridian may impact the pancreas’s ability to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. TCM diagnoses and treatment approaches target pancreatic diseases to the spleen and stomach meridians.

The Spleen-Pancreas Relationship in TCM considered the “root of the digestive system”. And responsible for the transformation and transportation of food and fluids. The pancreas’s role in regulating blood sugar levels and glucose metabolism, closely related to the spleen’s functions. Imbalances or pathologies in the spleen meridian, such as spleen Chi deficiency — spleen-stomach disharmony — may manifest as pancreatic dysfunction, such as: diabetes, or other metabolic disorders.

TCM treatments targeting the spleen meridian through reflexology manipulations coupled with directed emotion/spirit meditations aim to indirectly support the pancreas’s endocrine functions. The pancreas’s exocrine functions, including the production of digestive enzymes widely considered closely tied to the stomach’s role in digestion and nutrient absorption. Disturbances in the stomach meridian, such as stomach Chi deficiency or stomach heat, may impact the pancreas’s ability to support healthy digestive processes. Threfore manipulation of the stomach meridian through targeted reflexology and emotion/spirit meditation could indirectly support the pancreas’s exocrine functions and overall digestive health.

Imbalances or pathologies in the pancreas are understood to be reflected in the overall functioning of the spleen and stomach meridians and their associated organ systems. A diet which combines brewers’ yeast together with wheat bran impacts on plasma and interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid and plasma make up about 97% of the ECF\plasma, the largest single component of blood.

Insoluble fiber, like wheat bran, tends to bind to cholesterol and bile acids in the digestive system. This can lead to a reduction in the absorption of cholesterol, resulting in lower levels of cholesterol in the plasma. Brewer’s yeast is a good source of various vitamins and minerals, including B-complex vitamins, selenium, and chromium. The increased intake of these nutrients can help maintain the overall health and composition of the plasma, including factors such as protein levels, electrolyte balance, and enzyme activities.

Wheat bran is known to have a high water-holding capacity, which can contribute to increased fluid intake and improved hydration. High fiber content of wheat bran can also help maintain fluid balance in the interstitial spaces by regulating water absorption and retention. Nutrients provided by brewer’s yeast, such as B-complex vitamins and minerals, can support the efficient transport and exchange of nutrients between the plasma and interstitial fluid. Which can help facilitate the delivery of essential nutrients to the cells and the removal of waste products from the interstitial spaces.

Evidence suggests that a diet rich in wheat bran and brewer’s yeast can help reduce insulin resistance in western medicine. Insoluble fiber, improves insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. The fiber in wheat bran promotes the growth of beneficial gut microbiota, which can also play a role in improving insulin sensitivity. Brewer’s yeast contains a rich source of chromium, a mineral that plays a crucial role in insulin metabolism and glucose regulation. Chromium has been found to enhance the activity of the insulin receptor and improve the body’s ability to utilize glucose effectively; and reduce the glycemic index of ingested foods, which impact insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

The synergistic effect of the fiber from wheat bran and the chromium from brewer’s yeast can further enhance the ability to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. The combination of these two dietary components can help regulate blood glucose levels, improve insulin signaling, and potentially reduce the risk of developing insulin resistance-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.

How I Treat my type II diabetes.

Just checked my blood sugar. 119. Down from 179 when I visited (by force from my daughter and wife) the wacky quack quack office. The Doc declared me diabetic and I responded that I had eaten a pint of haagen dazs ice cream. The lady quack expressed her displeasure.

My daughter asked me prior to the check-up what I thought my blood sugar stood at. Told her about 120. Yes that’s a bit high. And yes I need to get it in check with numbers in the 90s. So I have responded by dramatically increasing my water intake. Today making a water fast. Before I eat any meal, first I drink a glass of water + vinegar. The latter reduces the sugar spike.

Diabetes II threatens diabetes III – also known as alzheimer’s disease. Type II strikes and plagues adults, whereas type III smacks down the old fogies. So since I love my mind, and quite attached to it, I must watch now my P’s and Q’s. Being a contrarian throughout my life, really don’t like Western medicine. During Covid-19 took Colloidal silver that I made at home. When the plague struck, within a week of colloidal silver that pesky-pest utterly eliminated from my system.

The Wacky quack quacks declare with great Catholic dogma their decree that insulin resistance of Type II diabetes a problem of the pancreas. What a load of propaganda hooey! The pancreas its doing its job just fine. The issue of Type II based in the liver and all the internal organs who follow king liver. Specifically the corruption of the mitocondria function/efficiency in converting glucose in the blood.

The mitocondria, a sub-cell in the nucleus of all the major internal organs. It absorbs the glucose in the blood and converts ADP/low energy to ATP\high energy. Therefore insulin resistance, to my logic, involves all the internal organs of the body which house mitocondria sub-cells! But the base of the internal organs – that’s king liver. That royal monarch controls some 300 or more critical functions in the human body. Not saying that lungs, kidneys, heart, stomach, gall bladder etc (((In Asian medicine the meridians affix to the 10 major internal organs … and the pancreas not included in those top 10 internal organs!!!!))).

Japanese medicine makes a focus upon the 5 major “feelings”: fear, anger, grief, shame and worry. Being a student of Freud, that wacky quack quack presumed that emotions stem from the Mind. In contrast, the Asians hold that the major internal organs produce the base emotions, which so impacts our humanity: War & Peace. (Not a reference to Tolstoy’s War & Peace. Utterly detested his acclaimed masterpiece. The Book, a long story. He killed the main character, whose likability – very questionable. But during the long read the main protagonist of the story had grown upon me, I began to like the main character of the story, despite his warts and quirks of personality! Then in the last 50 pages of that damned book, Tolstoy murdered my friend! Ass*! Furthermore, utterly despise Tolstoy because as the most respected Xtian moral authority in all of Russia, his complete and total silence during the Russian Pogroms, wow that sorry son of a bitch!)

Respect Asian ideas of medicine far more than the incest relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and the medical schools. The former writes the books taught in medical schools! This monopoly of dogmatism, likewise depicts the (to quote Trump, who I really admire) the Washington “SWAMP”.

The incestuous relationship between the Government established Corporate monopolies & their lobby pimps and the revolving-door whore-house of the Federal bureaucratic agencies. Serious corruption when the Federal government bureaucratic (post Confederate) “carpet baggers”, their salary – paid from the pockets of American folk … (Shakespeare Hamlet): ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’, when the public sector of the Federal government employs more employees that the private sector! America won the Cold War only to “convert” to a Socialist Nation?! Utter bull.

But I digress – sorry. Seems to my way of thinking that the brain-stem functions something like the maestro of the orchestra of the internal organs. It takes simple emotions produced by the internal organs and makes complex emotions. Something like I feel about the author Tolstoy. (That’s the reason why I brought the digression up in the first place.)

The Mind-Body, a very complex relationship. Japanese medicine affixes the five major emotions described above to the five fingers and opposing toes. Right hand left foot, left hand right foot. Meditation goes hand & foot together with reflexology.

This reflexology maps out the internal organs which the nerve endings in the foot influence. Hence the concept of meridian lines as employed in acupuncture. The influence of Indian Yoga has a tremendous impact on Asian theory. For example kung-fu instead of Fear Anger Grief Shame & Worry, it focuses upon the spirits of Crane, Dragon, Leopard, Snake and Tiger. In the book, Harry Potter: notice that the wand contained the spirit of some animal, as the basis for Western magic!

Meditation, a focused awareness of how one breathes. Herein defines the wisdom of all disciplines of meditation across the board! Therefore the school of meditation which I work to develop, links affixed emotions with spirits! If for example I grab my index finger affixed to “Fear/Crane”, (a emotion/spirit ratio:fraction), almost immediately possible to feel the pulse within the index finger.

First do reflexology and manipulate the two target internal organs. For example: the liver and the kidneys, as influenced by the meridians which terminate in the foot. Self reflexology requires that a person must stretch ie yoga stretching calisthenics, prior to making foot manipulations directed toward two target internal organs of the body.

Why? The purpose of the ’emotion/spirit’ linked of breathing … to forge a positive/negative spirit of our conscious awareness to one organ and switching to the other target organ by means of the in-hale\ex-hale breath\spirit.

In Eastern medicine the focus of the meditation, called “Chi”. My sh’itta of meditation affixes this “Chi energy\spirit” to the mitochondria within the two target internal organs, the one opposed to the other – making a battery. In the above example of grabbing the index finger/Fear. Focus upon the “feeling” felt of the pulse within the finger. Now possible to consciously move the ‘spirit of Crane’. Inhale, breathe the ‘spirit of Crane’ to the liver. Exhale breath the ‘spirit of Crane’ to the kidneys. Based upon the pulse feeling you feel by holding your index finger affixed to the emotion of fear.

Holistic perspective: Eastern medicine tends to take a more holistic view of the body, seeing diabetes as an imbalance or disruption in the overall system, rather than just a problem with blood sugar regulation. Incorporating this perspective can help address the root causes and broader health implications of the condition.
Mind-body connection: Eastern philosophies place a strong emphasis on the connection between the mind, emotions, and physical health. Techniques like meditation, breathwork, and visualization can help manage stress and regulate the nervous system in ways that impact glucose metabolism. This complementary approach to the purely physiological Western model, very powerful.
Targeted therapy: Eastern traditions have developed very nuanced understandings of how different organs, energy meridians, and constituents of the body influence each other. This allows for more tailored interventions, such as using specific acupuncture points or herbal formulas to address individual imbalances.
Prevention and longevity: Many Eastern medical frameworks, geared towards maintaining health and preventing disease progression. This preventative mindset can be very valuable for managing a chronic condition like diabetes over the long-term.
Patient empowerment: The Eastern approach tends to see the patient as an active participant in their own healing process, rather than a passive recipient of treatment. This can foster greater self-awareness, personal responsibility, and sustainable lifestyle changes.

The use of herbal medicine and traditional Chinese formulas. Many herbs and herbal combinations have been shown to have beneficial effects on blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, and diabetic complications. For example, herbs like ginseng, bitter melon, and cinnamon have demonstrated hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) properties that could complement Western pharmaceutical treatments.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic techniques provide valuable insights. The ketogenic diet, with its emphasis on very low carbohydrates, can be quite beneficial for diabetes by helping to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. This aligns well with the general Eastern medical view of diabetes as a condition of excess “dampness” or sugar in the system. Reducing carb intake, a key strategy in many traditional Chinese dietary therapy recommendations.

The inclusion of bran and vinegar, according to my sh’itta based upon my ranching which based cattle feed mainly upon straw. Bran, a fibrous, complex carbohydrate that can help slow the absorption of glucose and provide a steady, sustainable energy source. This gradual release of energy, preferred in Eastern nutrition. Vinegar, on the other hand, traditionally employed to “dry dampness” and improve digestion – properties that could further support glucose regulation.

From an Eastern perspective, the combination of low-carb, high-fiber bran along with the vinegar could create a balanced, harmonizing effect. It may help moderate the extreme ketogenic diet, preventing the sometimes harsh “drying out” effects on the body, while still maintaining good blood sugar control. This creative integration of bran and vinegar into an otherwise ketogenic regimen I consider as an intriguing approach that could potentially yield lower blood sugar benefits.

A technique on healing meditation

Since the injury, began to develop a routine to focus upon meditation to heal myself – based upon my dyslexia. In the latter בנין אב/precedent (a fundamental which defines Common Law), employed other senses to complement my sense of sight to teach me how to consciously transfer information stored in one hemisphere of my dyslexia brain to the other language hemisphere of my mind. A similar learning technique instructors employ to teach blind people braille.

How to successfully meditate using this sh’itta/methodology? Many different techniques, schools, etc on the “Art” of meditation. Many employ the eyes to focus upon an external point. This I do as a secondary supplement. Employ the five fingers of my hand to affix key emotions: Fear/flight, anger/ferocity, grief/loss, shame/humiliation, worry/failure.

Grasping a finger of the opposing other hand. Shortly thereafter, possible to feel the blood pulse within the grasped finger. What purpose does this accomplish? The mind speaks through thoughts/ideas. Internal organs, by contrast, speak through bodily secretions. An Action/reaction type of relationship.

This type of meditation seeks to “listen” to specific/focused bodily target organ secretions. Cut an onion, the eyes react by secreting tears. Hormones/enzymes different types of bodily secretions. A Cause/Effect interaction. Like a stone produces a ripple effect in a pond.
This introduced type of meditation seeks to reduce the awareness of thought by emphasizing a “hearing” awareness of specific targeted internal organ bodily secretions. Bone marrow secretes red blood cells into the body.

This introduced meditation technique: A)) Have a private heated pool. Sound heard better in water than through air. B)) Place a noodle-float along the spine to support the body lying in the pool. Raise the feet onto a foam kick-board float, placed outside – at the edge of the pool. Lie back into the pool with my ears under water while the feet anchored to the side of the pool, on the kick-board floatation device.

Personally I locate a fixed point on the roof of my covered pool, as a focus point for my eyes. Place my hands behind my back and grasp a specific emotion finger. The index finger affixed to the emotion of fear/flight. Inhale, concentrate upon a specific internal organ – the liver for example. Exhale, concentrate upon a specific other internal organ – the large intestines for example.

Feel the pulse within the finger. Fear/flight, consciously affixed to the index finger. Inhale – Focus upon “hearing” the movement of fluids from the liver. Exhale – Focus upon “hearing” the movement of fluids from my large intestine. Purpose: to make a positive/negative bi-polar battery of these two target internal organs to produce Chi. (Understood as converting ADP, low energy to ATP, high energy; produced from the mitochondria sub-cells within the cells of the internal organs.

The pool functions as a sensory deprivation tank. It permits me greater ability to “listen” to the bodily secretions made by target internal organs of focus. Because sound heard better in water than through air. The water functions something like a doctors’ stethoscope. By employing multiple senses focus points, this serves to reduce mental chatter within the mind. This type of meditation seeks to “hear” or “listen” to how the internal organs communicate through bodily secretions.

It stands apart from guided meditations or hypnosis notions of meditation. These latter meditation techniques attempt to focus the mind to concentrate upon hearing spoken words communicated by others outside of ourselves.

The healing meditation technique developed through the above-described sh’itta/method, attempts to make the Central focus: listening to how the internal organs communicate through bodily secretions. The liver, for example, produces bile. The large intestines, digests & absorbs liquids through probiotic microorganisms.
