Could breath methane be influenced by mitochondrial production of the gas?

Could breath methane be influenced by methanogens in the sinuses or oral microbiome?

Is it an adaptive response?

How to tell when it it is, and when it’s not?

Does this explain why NAC has been found, anecdotally, to be helpful?

“Human beings are reaching a deeper awareness th

“Human beings are reaching a deeper awareness that the fate of our species will depend on the wisdom we demonstrate in our interactions with the ecosystem. An ecosystem is defined as a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. As pointed out by Coutts, contemporary ecological models underline human life, health and well-being that are made possible by fundamental ecosystem services.

Of essential importance is the water produced by the hydrological cycle, but also the plant and animal materials used as food since humans are heterotroph organisms, hence they can obtain energy only from feeding on other organisms. These services allow humans to exist and to create their survival niches.

More than ever, Bateson’s quote should be kept in mind: “The unit of survival is organism plus environment” hence the inclusion of both human and ecosystem health should be essential in view of their interdependence for survivals. Ford and Prescott provide clear definitions about ‘human health’ and ‘ecosystem health’. Thus, as Health Organisation stated in 1948, the human health “is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”, while the ecosystem health could be defined as a condition in which the ecosystem is able to deliver and continuously renew its fundamental services that allow optimal interactions between humans and the biotic/abiotic components of the ecosystem.

Humans, therefore, can survive and reproduce in optimal conditions only by living in a healthy ecosystem. The spiritual aspect of this relationship has been widely investigated by Soroka et al..

In our opinion it is possible to maintain a healthy co-evolution of the human and ecosystem following some basic concepts that are in operation for both. In particular, the concept of homeostasis, allostasis and the possible formal representations by means of cybernetics of the regulatory mechanisms inside the ecosystem and the human being as well as their interactions can be used.”

I’ve been feeling a deep sadness at times recent

I’ve been feeling a deep sadness at times recently. I have no idea why (well that’s not true, I have a suspicion).

Things are moving me to tears and I’m experiencing energy rising up in me wanting to be expressed...released. This makes complete sense obviously when we consider emotion is energy in motion.

At the weekend listening to music, and on a separate occasion watching a documentary, moved me to tears.

Is it an accumulation of the challenges of the last year? Is it coming from the collective? Is it related to me tapping in to ‘my truth’? As I slowly realise some of what I thought was true, about me, about the world, is simply conditioning, a story I accepted as truth at a time I was unable to see otherwise. Is it I’m just better at accessing feelings after years of suppressing them? 🤷‍♂️

I’ll never know. I don’t need to know.

I’m just grateful for the journey and the work I have done to get here, wherever here is.

I’m also grateful to have people in my life who I can lean on. Who ‘get it’. Who are open to sharing their own experiences, struggles and challenges.

Men, it’s ok to cry. It’s ok to be seen to be vulnerable. It’s ok to let go, to share, to reach out and ask for help. It’s ok to feel, what ever needs to be felt. It is the only way to our true self, a liberated self.
