In chart number nine we see the same image of the brain with the HPA, but we see it now in its overseeing role over the other glands and organs of the body. It shows a dozen glands and a few organs, but in reality, we have hundreds of glands in our body, and did you know that most organs are also glands?
The Endocrine System
Certainly the pancreas is a gland. Besides synthesizing insulin, the pancreas contributes to alkalizing juices and synthesizes digestive enzymes on demand. We find that enzymes are messengers just like hormones are enzymes, and both are triggered by a demand from the HPA. The kidney is a gland too in many ways. Upon demand from the HPA it produces many regulating factors influencing life, even vitamin D. And we will talk about vitamin D later in this seminar.
Once again this chart is an artist's rendition. But it would take many charts to depict the reality of the biofeedback of the HPA via the central nervous system, via the extraordinary lymphatic system not shown here, via the endocrine system, via organs, via enzymes, and there are many other factors not shown and many unknown. And by the way, none of these systems work alone as separate entities like what we learn in biology. In reality, they are life partners, they need one another for life. Via the regulating role of the HPA they are maintained in balance.
Notice on the right side of this chart I show a list of thirty or so hormones, the most popular like insulin, adrenalin, estrogen, testosterone, and calcitonin for regulating calcium. By the way, have you noticed that vitamin D is on this list? We will talk about vitamin D, a hormone, later. But in reality, we would need many panels to show the hundreds of hormones, peptides and steroids involved in regulating our metabolism. Even our cells have regulating functions called the cellular hormonal system. For example, our cells can compose as many as one hundred thousand forms of proteins or enzymes on the demand from their environment. And these billions of regulators are all working together thanks to the HPA.
There is More to the Endocrine System
Next chart is a zoom-in representation of the endocrine system. Don't try to read it, as it is purposefully unreadable. It is an artist's attempt at representing the endocrine system and its relationship within our body. It is apparently very elaborate, and you can see that a lot of effort was put into it. But here again, in reality, you would need dozens of charts to just even begin to depict this biochemical reality.
Image 10 - There is More to the Endocrine System
What we boast knowing about biochemistry is likely barely the tip of the iceberg. It will forever be impossible to show and perceive visually the complexity of human biochemistry. Allen Bate said in the 70's "as we pursue the macro universe, it will always run away from us". With our advances in microscopic technologies, we can now safely say "as we pursue the microscopic universe, it will always run away from us". We will endlessly discover sub-functionality within our bodies, even as we are now entering the subatomic. And then we'll start trying to explain the subatomic functionality in regards to health, and we'll spend decades there, and we'll move on.
Ultimately, it's always going to come back to energy. And we will have to look seriously into sciences like Chi or Prana. Chi, as in the subtle energy, even beyond the harsh atomic energy.
