Re: I knew this guy people called “Mole”. He was called that because he slept with his head under the covers.

A side effect of sleeping with your head under the covers is “turtle headache.”

It’s caused by a combination of …

(1) hypoxia – inadequate oxygen

(2) hypercapnia – excess carbon dioxide

Waking up hypoxic and hypercapnic causes respiratory acidosis and “turtle headache.”

This is especially true if you take a series of deep breaths immediately after getting out of bed.

Symptoms of carbon dioxide toxicity include …

(1) flushed skin – one of the secrets behind dermal respiration

(2) dimmed vision – allowing access to “inner sight” (clairvoyance)

(3) reduced hearing – allowing access to the “audible life stream” (clairaudience)

(4) sweating – allowing access to empathy (clairsentience)

(5) muscular tremor – dynamic tension (Kundalini)

(6) loss of appetite – a preview of the “noneating state.”

(7) rapid breathing – countered by dermal respiration.

(8) osteoporosis (eventually) – regulated by what Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) called “impact sonics.”

Astronauts would retain their calcium if they used the “impact” technique of slapping themselves on the face and body.

This idea seemed ridiculous back when Adano mentioned it in the 1970s, but has since been validated by space scientists at NASA – high-impact exercise has far more to do with retaining bone calcium than weight-bearing exercise.

Gail Vines (“The challenge to HRT,” New Scientist, Oct. 23, 1993) wrote …

“A recent study by [Joan] Bassey showed that a modest amount of jumping, performed daily over a year, increased the density of hip bones in premenopausal women by a substantial 3 per cent. The women performed only 50 jumps a day – which takes just a minute if you are fit, says Bassey. ‘It’s no more trouble than cleaning your teeth.’ The ground forces created on impact seem sufficient to stimulate bone formation.”

NASA promotes high-impact jumping for calcium retention (unaware of Adano’s slapping technique).

Rope-skipping and plyometrics are examples of high-impact “bounce” exercises.

Selene Yeager (Secret Fat Burner: Add Impact,” Prevention, Feb. 2001) wrote …

“In a study of 18 college-age men, researchers had half the group do impact exercise for about 30 minutes 3 days a week, while the rest performed the same amount of nonimpact exercise. Both groups followed identical strength training programs. After 14 weeks, both groups had more lean muscle mass, but only the impact exercisers dropped body fat – about 1.5 %. They had better gains in cardiovascular fitness too.”

Jumping on a mini-trampoline accomplishes three things that are important to meditators, but not to terrestrial strength-trainers.

Rebounding (on either a mini-trampoline or an Olympic-sized trampoline) ..

(1) removes calcium from the bones and deposits it in the brain and pineal gland

(2) removes silicon from the brain and pineal gland and deposits it in the bones

(3) weakens the teeth

There’s so much silica in horsetail (“scouring rush”) that it can be used to polish metal.

Birds only have one tooth, and they lose this “egg tooth” as soon as they peck their way to freedom.

Body language studies indicate that a person with “small even teeth” is a “quick learner.”

If you want strong teeth, go deep in the ocean instead of high in the ionosphere.

Some sharks have 50 rows of teeth, and some sharks shed more than 35,000 teeth in a lifetime.

If you want to be the Amazing Spider-Man, jump on a trampoline.

If you want to be the Incredible Hulk (1,040 pounds soaking wet), jump on the pavement.

If you want to be the Amazing Spider-Man, activate your quantum superconductivity.

If you want to be the Incredible Hulk, buy a magnetic bed and ground yourself.

Quantum superconductivity and magnetism are like OIL and WATER. They don’t mix.

There’s something for everyone – as every Marvel Comics fan can tell you, the GREEN Incredible Hulk isn’t the only Incredible Hulk.

Who needs more bone weight like an adult when you can have stronger and more flexible bones like a child?

Flighted birds have lighter bones than diving birds.

Adano advocated …

“This is not our home. This is just a way station. Why should we fight over real estate here on Earth when we can have a whole planet all to ourselves?”

… and …

“I look up at the stars, and I see all that free real estate going to waste.”

Alternate Breathing (described in my last blog entry) is related to what scuba divers call “skip breathing.”

Alternate Breathing enhances oxygen extraction and utilization.

It increases blood flow to your head, and helps to detoxify your brain.

You only use anaerobiosis (metabolic processes occurring in the absence of oxygen) during anaerobic exercise (functional anaerobiosis).

Yes, No, Maybe.

Your retina and red blood cells produce ATP anaerobically even though their oxygen flow is adequate (aerobic glycolysis).
