I started following you for your Covid posts, but I am staying here for essays just like this. The idea that water has a fourth phase, and how it travels through the body in mysterious meridians is fascinating. Now you have added how the heart creates special packets of blood and sends them exactly where they are needed is even more mysterious.
I work with growing aquatic animals and found your information about Viktor Schauberger revelatory, and his work with water made me think a lot about how we use water in farming. I have shared your Substack posts with a number of people, including a trainer I study with who has a PhD. in Chinese medicine and is now doing another PhD. in Qi Gong energy. As an aside, I am curious what you understand and believe about the research work that Nobel prize winner Luc Montagnier did on the memory of water? https://youtu.be/R8VyUsVOic0?si=zTRso7hqk_CEUrPW
It's on my to do list to write about all of his papers (along with the work that preceeded it). I am not sure when I will get to that though. I try to cycle between different themes (one of which is forgotten transformative scientific knowledge).
Another forgotten genius of medical science was Antoine Bechamp, and, in this particular discussion, I believe his brilliant work, "The Blood and Its Third Element" might be very relevant.
I hope your friend has a substack, already following a few Qi Gong people and doing a couple exercises. There is also a very good youtube film on Chinese meds, with a doc who can see the Qi and treats patients without touching. Amazing stuff.
I really enjoyed this, and went over to the reference article as well. Ooof, some of those studies were hard to get through, but I really learned a lot.
My favorite part is how we get to choose what kind of heart we would like to have.
I also loved the section about the venous system being the present, the lymphatic being the past, and arterial the future with erythrocytes as data carriers. The properties of blood are non-Newtonian. Blood is a migrating brain of the heart. It’s all so amazing!
I do believe the Heart is ahead of consciousness. When I work with Parkinson’s patients, we talk a lot about the heart-brain connection, how it can be severed by trauma, and what the consequences of that might be. I will share this material with my PD friends - they’ll get it.
I’m also thinking about how each part of the body has a corresponding part of the heart responsible for providing blood flow. It was beautiful to read in more detail how that works, and it certainly adds to my understanding of pulse-taking in Chinese medicine. My teacher, who would’ve had so much to add to this conversation, taught us “Li Gan Jian Ying:” When you stand a pole under the sun, you immediately see its shadow. Likewise, when you insert needles, the pulses should shift. If you don’t get the desired changes, you’ve missed the mark. The pulses (as a microsystem of the Heart) tell the story and provide immediate feedback to the acupuncturist.
I’m also wondering if the I Ching could be used to help map out heart conjugations? I’m sure there is wisdom there that could spare innocent animals from cruel experimentation. I am so in awe of all the applications of the I Ching from computer programming to geno code. It’s not just “fortune telling” as we think about it in the West.
In my world, I Ching Acupuncture/Balance Method lays out acupuncture meridians and points on the Ba Gua. The point prescriptions (beyond simple treatments for pain etc.) don’t always make sense if you’re looking at them strictly through a TCM-style lens. There’s more to it than single point energetics. Learning the more advanced material is a bit like learning a computer language. There’s probably some kind of relationship to how Balance Method works and what was discussed here about heart conjugations.
I have written a short novel, lol. Thank you if you read it. I am grateful for everything you put into your writing. I always find treasures here that make me a better practitioner. I appreciate you (your heart and your brain) so much! Many blessings, AMD!
I was really hoping you would read this and the accompanying research : )
I think I told you this, but I follow Classical Chinese medicine, not TCM, I just say TCM since that's what most people are familiar with. I've seen a ton of people from a variety of different holistic schools including acupuncturists tell me they've observed the heart arterial conjugations in their own practice.
You two and your explorations "within" are utterly fascination and far above my comprehension but what of your observations I can understand, wow. I know this is impossible but it would sure be great to bring together and examine the correspondence of the physical heart&blood with spiritual heart&blood.
Since my husbands pericardiectomy in 2017, I have been allowing myself to sink into the contemplation of "body, blood, soul, and divinity" of the Blessed Sacrament (I know, not everyone believes). I have made great strides but my lack of medical background leads to more questions that quickly become tidal and I cannot find foothold.
The scientific facts of the Blessed Sacrament as discovered, repeatedly (see Miracle of Buenos Aires and more), that the Sacrament is flesh from the lower ventricle of the human heart, alive and under distress combined with the ancient, cross-cultural belief that eating the heart of an animal (and sometimes an enemy) gives the consumer that persons power adds to the wonder.
Also, the Hebrew word for heart in the Old Testament is "leb" is rarely used for the actual organ. It refers to the seat and origin of "all human thought, motivation, will and action." Which to me says, "look to the actual organ to discover how we should plan for all human endeavors: architecture, governance, health, relationships".
There really is no place, no institution, to bring this conversation to life. Perhaps the universities at one time, but no more.
Keep it up and be sure to pass on tidbits and hopefully the future will be able to pick it up.
This introduction caught my eye.. "Innovative ideas which challenge longstanding orthodoxies and commercial interests are always attacked by the medical profession."
I have personal experience of this
I'm a retired research scientist (non-medical). 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease so I looked into the causes of PD. According to the established dogma of the medical profession, the cause of PD is both multifactorial (and unknown) and that's why there is no medication to manage it. Leading researchers don't agree and provide substantial evidence that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in astrocytes and neurons causes neurodegeneration of dopamine-producing neurons which is the first step in PD. To counter that process in my own disease I developed a remedy to activate the transcription factor Nrf2 using the natural isothiocyanate, sulforaphane.
I have been using this remedy for 4 years with good effect. I shared this discovery with other people with Parkinson's and together we optimized the product (Broccoli Seed Tea, BST) and studied the effects in more detail. BST is very specific in that it rapidly attenuates/suppresses a wide range of non-motor symptoms of PD without affecting motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms are directly associated with the onset and progression of PD. This finding goes against the established consensus concerning PD which is focused only on motor symptoms. All efforts to contact and discuss this with leading members of the Parkinson's medical profession have been vigorously rejected or systematically ignored.
We have therefore set up our own NPO in the USA called "Resolve Parkinson's" (RP) in order to raise funds and awareness of this potentially transformative therapy. RP will become operational in October 2023.
Jack Kruse is onto a decentralised science (as distinct from the centralising of a control assumption. A lot of his work aligns with 'zeta potential' as the basis for healthy function as light, and electromagnetic resonances.
After re-reading this intriguing post, I had a thought regarding the impact of emotional trauma on the heart. I have been taught by Dr. Lawrence Heller, Dr. Peter Levine and other experts in the field of complex PTSD that when infants experience trauma, because they can't fight, flee or protest the way an older human can, they respond by literally physically contracting. Specifically, because their musculature is still so immature during that time, they contract the viscera around their organs. Since the information in this post indicates that the interior of the heart has regions that map to different parts of the body, I began to wonder how this sort of visceral contraction impacts the health and development of the heart from a very early age. AMD, it makes me think that it may be really important for people with this kind of trauma to seek out bodyworkers who know how to work with the heart in order to maximize recovery.
I have not considered this before now. Thank you for your comment, I will take this up as a meditation and seek Guidance if I might need a bodyworker. Blessings.
"Russia having significantly less money, so overpriced monopolies (e.g., the medical industrial complex) simply aren’t viable in Russia, and thus there is no incentive to invest in suppressing competing scientific models. Rather, their culture is incentivized to find the most economical solutions to the problems it faces."
That's not always the
case, as Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine was developed by AstraZeneca and backed by some dubious sovereign Russian Investment Fund. Russians were coerced to take the jab, especially those in the military and suffered the same horrific adverse reactions as in the West.
It also should be noted, that early on during the scamdemic three frontline health care workers mysteriously fell out of hospital windows in Russia.
We have to understand, that the scamdemic was a worldwide event coordinated even with "supposed adversaries" like China and Russia to establish global governance via a biosecurity surveillance state which eventually will deploy a synthetic hegemonic currency to sustain control over billions throughout the planet.
It usually requires more than one setting, but so much is imparted that I want to comment after each section that I read. The absolute sorrow and awe of sacrifice is powerful and woefully painful at the same time. Just as the only source of iron is a super nova, it is now Universal to me that my heart would sacrifice a part of itself for another body part when I thought that it was just another muscle. It is easier for me to see the secret intracellular life that exists. Sacrifices, cooperation, perhaps even a skirmish or two as communication is passed from one cellular structure to another.
Is there a hierarchy amongst vessels? Is the heart King? Could our brain and our G.I. tract be seen as equals? And what do you do when something stops cooperating? Are organs ostracized?
Thank you, once again, for helping me see past my nose.
Great post again, Midwestern. I can see you're diving deeper into facets of the body that doctors institutionalized into the system just won't touch. These are as interesting, if not more so, than your C19 posts.
I'm the equivalent of a Substack mouse - constantly looking for cheese, so in other words, I'm visiting my fave stacks multiple times a day. I work from home, so this is eminently easy to do.
Got it; thank you : ) I'd be wondering if there was some type of notification substack sent out once posts were published but before they were emailed.
I have been a relatively active student of many systems of health and healing for about a half a century. The Midwest Doc has reported insights even I have never encountered. I am humbled, inspired and grateful. Keep it up PLEASE!
I would think cavitation bubbles would create strong micro-turbulence that would damage platelets and RBCs, leading to clot formation.
Also, regarding heart transplants and psychological/personality effects: changes are also associated with other organs. Our bodies exist within a living, conscious energy field of multiple frequencies and flows. What we "are" is not physical, but rather the field of higher frequency consciousness that permeates and energizes the body.
When we get into a car to drive it away, we retain our reality as a conscious being driving the car. We do not become the car, but that is the mistake in perspective that humans typically make about our "driven" physical bodies that we are just the operators of in this three-dimensional universe. Consciousness infuses/suffuses the physical-biological matter of the organs. Consciousness interfaces with the brain and becomes able to "run" the molecules/structures of the physical body. But consciousness is not THE body and does not originate FROM the body. And neither do memories (something intrinsic to consciousness and personality). If memories were solely physical, then when the consciousness separates fro the physical body during Near Death Experiences or Out of Body Experiences, we wouldn't remember who we were. But that is clearly NOT the case, since we still know exactly who we are when Out of Body.
So obviously memory/self awareness is not at all a matter of neurons or other cellular structures, in the hrain ir otherwise! It has to be part of our Consciousness FIELD of non-physical ENERGY. Of course that energy also is associated with living organs that get transplanted, and carry that consciousness along with them, just as every part of a hologram contains the entire picture, no matter how many pieces it is divided into. Therefore it seems apparent that someone receiving a transplanted organ is taking on a part of the consciousness of the person it came from, as a form of spirit influence or posession.
This is no small matter, and I would imagine that proper "informed consent" ought to include the probability that an aspect or "part" of the energy of that donor's consciousness or essence is also being transplanted, with the result that the recipient is no longer entirely "themself" but becones some kind of a composite or hybrid being! Would I ever want to get an organ transplant? No way! When my body gets that aged/worn out, I'm outta here!
I align with your view but also note life is a symbiotic and cooperative expression.
So even in writing you, some facet of your field is replicated within my own.
Constellation work reveals we are part of others and of All and yet uniquely ourselves.
The possession we fear is really a dispossession arising from a false sense of defended self. To have and to be are one in truth, but if I would have You be what I make you as a self-special sense of power unto myself, I invite conflicted entanglement - that you do not have to engage with. But are free to do so for your own reasons.
We can never be 'not ourself' but we can open experience of self-illusion at cost of a true appreciation for self existence. Conscious discernment is in the heart of life, while a judgemental sense of self set over against others seems to be separate and over life (or subjectively victim to life set demonic)
Life IS "a symbiotic and cooperative expression." But I sense that you are making all this 'way too complicated! Delving into the minutiae is just walking into the "trap" of duality/separation/mental distraction down endless rabbit holes of the limited time-space mind. You will never go BEYOND mind into the non-physical/NON-mind via the vehicle of thinking/mental processes. Seek the silence between thought — that is the "doorway" to Infinity.
Duality is not a trap - but the means of embodied expression. You are using 'duality' for polarised identity. What you give and receive are your measure. if we give from a conflicted assumption we meet our own reflection - even in an offer of love's recognition.
I and You and all that is true - is not merely the engagement within reflected experience.
Awareness is already, but the mind frames in tension.
Discernment is the nature of awareness to your question or desire. But if that is a placeholder statement of identity boosting, there is no question to answer or desire to vibrate alignment.
The attempt to go beyond limits will subtly reinforce them.
A new way of seeing what is already present but unrecognised is a recognition/release of a non-self or non-sense relative to true desire. Yielding to being need not seek far or long to find opportunity!
The heart content is covered very well in Thomas Cowan’s book - Your Cosmic Heart. It’s a fascinating book that gave me an understanding of how blood letting could work so well.
Thank you for expanding the understanding about this glorious organ. This provides me with new keynotes which I can connect to my (w)holistic study of the heart and its circuitry.
I also find this take on the heart (below) revealing and appropriate, from one prominent figure which I have great respect for - Andrew Taylor Still:
“What Are Nerves?
Nerves are the children and associates of one mother—the heart. She, the heart, is the wise form-giving power of life. She is life centralized for the use of each and all animals. All beings are simply constructed through the wisdom in the vital energy contained in this mother's power.
She plans and builds according to the forms necessary to execute the orders of her dictators. She is the mother, nerve, and soul of all nerves pertaining to this body. She orders, constructs, and repairs, and continues in constructing her work to absolute completeness. She is a graduate from the school of the Infinite, and her works are expected to show perfection in forethought, and are to be inspected, passed upon, received, or rejected by the scrutinizing mind of the Infinite, whose orders are very positive, always holding before her mind the penalty of torture and death for failing to do all her work to the fullest degree of physical perfection.
The first command of the Infinite is for her to be at her post, to keep the picture of the plans forever before her eye. Before she makes a motion to construct a fiber of flesh to cover her nakedness, she must open both eyes, and scrutinize and inspect carefully every fiber that enters into the material house known as the physical heart.
First is formed the material heart, in which the spiritual establishes an office in which to dwell and oversee and enforce the requirements of the specifications for constructing the human body or that of any animal, fish, reptile, or bird. Having established the office of life in which the plans and specifications stand in bold relief, she receives from her superior officer an order to prepare a laboratory in which the necessary material is prepared to enter into the construction of this divinely formed being.
She runs or constructs a branch road of transportation to and from that manufactory, which is located at the proper distance from her office to give it plenty of room to carry on the business of manufacturing. She calls this, when done, the abdominal workshop. In order not to be disturbed, she sends out her foreman with instructions to build a fence or wall around herself, and calls that wall the pericardium.
Outside of that are other separating walls, with attachments. At this important moment she reads in the specifications that she is expected to run out the necessary tracks for the construction of a storage battery, the brain, with the grand trunk line, the spinal cord, and connect that battery with her office, the grand central, with wires, the nerves.
As she advances with the plans and specifications, she makes other connections and constructs lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, genital organs, limbs of locomotion, the framework and the finished house, the thorax and abdomen. She patiently continues the performance of making all conveniences necessary for the comfort of the indweller, the spiritual being.
Thus we find the heart to be the mother of all the nerves of the human body, of all its parts and principles known in vital action. From her vital chamber she delivers vitality to all forms, fibers, and functioning substances of life and motion. All parts of the body are wholly dependent on this vital center, and it can move and act without the assistance of any machine or part of the machine to which she has given form and life.
She charges one set of fibers with vitality, and we call them nerves of sensation; she charges another set we call nerves of nutrition, and another set of wires we call nerves of motion. They have no motion, no sensation, no nutriment; they are simply roads for the convenience of executing the orders as found in the plans and specifications of life.
My object in the foregoing description of the heart is to draw the attention of the reader to another thought that I will present as well as I can. We can all comprehend that the heart is the engine of blood-force and supply. With this statement I will ask the question, Would the severing of a nerve produce paralysis of a limb or any division of the body, or would it be the tearing up of the road between the limb and the heart?
It is true enough that the brachial nerve reaches the brain from the arm. If that nerve has been severed and motion destroyed, has it not separated the limb from the storage battery, the brain, from whence it was supplied?
To illustrate this thought more forcibly, I will compare the heart to a tree whose fruit is good to eat, nice to behold, fine in flavor, and surely a child of the mother tree. The wood, the leaf, and the coloring matter of the leaf, limb, and fruit are simply physical expressions of the power of the mother tree to create variations in the several divisions of the tree.
What evidence have we, that is absolute and undebatable, that all physical forces of the body are not conceived, developed, and issued from the heart? We speak of sensory nerves, nutrient nerves, motor nerves, voluntary and involuntary nerves, and to some degree we have described their special locations. By the knife and microscope we have found that all systems of nerves have one universal connection.
We have found nothing that would warrant us in saying that the brain has any power to create nerve fluid or force. We can talk about the brain of the head, the abdominal brain, the brain of the liver, and go on with such speculative divisions and find a new brain in every ganglion of the body, but we have only found storage batteries from the heart that are new to our observation.
We find one cluster in the lungs, one in the brain, one in the stomach and bowels, one at the kidneys, uterus, bladder, spine, and limbs, but all sing "Sweet Home" to Mother Heart when peace and harmony prevail, and cry with anguish when she fails to communicate the glad tidings of health, peace, plenty, and harmony. Thus, joy is perpetual when the watch-man cries, "All is well.” “
Excerpt From
The philosophy and mechanical principles of osteopathy
Thank you so much for this article. You know, the Bible mentions the heart as if it’s more than a pumping machine. I believe the inspired writers were referring to some of the heart’s attributes that you discussed.
I am reading a book by dr. Guylaine Lanctot, the medical mafia, she gave up on western medicine, not only because of mentioned mafia, but she states that the western systems are a medicine of sickness, not of health, and that eastern and 'soft' medicine is a system of health. Most doctors still consider the human body like a car. Nothing is further from the truth, as you too have demonstrated. We are not machines. The heart is not an inanimate pump. We are part of nature and nature is way too big for our human understanding. Thankfully a few scientists are still trying to explain and find answers and heal people, while most are trying to find more illnesses and keep the money machine running. (I will have to read this article a few times as usual, and saved it for later, thank you )
I started following you for your Covid posts, but I am staying here for essays just like this. The idea that water has a fourth phase, and how it travels through the body in mysterious meridians is fascinating. Now you have added how the heart creates special packets of blood and sends them exactly where they are needed is even more mysterious.

Completely agree

Great post again, Midwestern. I can see you're diving deeper into facets of the body that doctors institutionalized into the system just won't touch. These are as interesting, if not more so, than your C19 posts.

Thank you. I have limited time to write, so my main goal is to cover things I don't think other people are covering.
so agree...
I would think cavitation bubbles would create strong micro-turbulence that would damage platelets and RBCs, leading to clot formation.
Also, regarding heart transplants and psychological/personality effects: changes are also associated with other organs. Our bodies exist within a living, conscious energy field of multiple frequencies and flows. What we "are" is not physical, but rather the field of higher frequency consciousness that permeates and energizes the body.
When we get into a car to drive it away, we retain our reality as a conscious being driving the car. We do not become the car, but that is the mistake in perspective that humans typically make about our "driven" physical bodies that we are just the operators of in this three-dimensional universe. Consciousness infuses/suffuses the physical-biological matter of the organs. Consciousness interfaces with the brain and becomes able to "run" the molecules/structures of the physical body. But consciousness is not THE body and does not originate FROM the body. And neither do memories (something intrinsic to consciousness and personality). If memories were solely physical, then when the consciousness separates fro the physical body during Near Death Experiences or Out of Body Experiences, we wouldn't remember who we were. But that is clearly NOT the case, since we still know exactly who we are when Out of Body.
So obviously memory/self awareness is not at all a matter of neurons or other cellular structures, in the hrain ir otherwise! It has to be part of our Consciousness FIELD of non-physical ENERGY. Of course that energy also is associated with living organs that get transplanted, and carry that consciousness along with them, just as every part of a hologram contains the entire picture, no matter how many pieces it is divided into. Therefore it seems apparent that someone receiving a transplanted organ is taking on a part of the consciousness of the person it came from, as a form of spirit influence or posession.
This is no small matter, and I would imagine that proper "informed consent" ought to include the probability that an aspect or "part" of the energy of that donor's consciousness or essence is also being transplanted, with the result that the recipient is no longer entirely "themself" but becones some kind of a composite or hybrid being! Would I ever want to get an organ transplant? No way! When my body gets that aged/worn out, I'm outta here!
Very insightful comment!
I align with your view but also note life is a symbiotic and cooperative expression.
So even in writing you, some facet of your field is replicated within my own.
Constellation work reveals we are part of others and of All and yet uniquely ourselves.
The possession we fear is really a dispossession arising from a false sense of defended self. To have and to be are one in truth, but if I would have You be what I make you as a self-special sense of power unto myself, I invite conflicted entanglement - that you do not have to engage with. But are free to do so for your own reasons.
We can never be 'not ourself' but we can open experience of self-illusion at cost of a true appreciation for self existence. Conscious discernment is in the heart of life, while a judgemental sense of self set over against others seems to be separate and over life (or subjectively victim to life set demonic)
Life IS "a symbiotic and cooperative expression." But I sense that you are making all this 'way too complicated! Delving into the minutiae is just walking into the "trap" of duality/separation/mental distraction down endless rabbit holes of the limited time-space mind. You will never go BEYOND mind into the non-physical/NON-mind via the vehicle of thinking/mental processes. Seek the silence between thought — that is the "doorway" to Infinity.
I invited you reconsider your assumption.
Duality is not a trap - but the means of embodied expression. You are using 'duality' for polarised identity. What you give and receive are your measure. if we give from a conflicted assumption we meet our own reflection - even in an offer of love's recognition.
I and You and all that is true - is not merely the engagement within reflected experience.
Awareness is already, but the mind frames in tension.
Discernment is the nature of awareness to your question or desire. But if that is a placeholder statement of identity boosting, there is no question to answer or desire to vibrate alignment.
The attempt to go beyond limits will subtly reinforce them.
A new way of seeing what is already present but unrecognised is a recognition/release of a non-self or non-sense relative to true desire. Yielding to being need not seek far or long to find opportunity!
This is fascinating. I have long suspected that Zeta Potential played a role in vortical blood flow. Recently, magnetism has been implicated in chirality in nature. https://www.quantamagazine.org/magnetism-may-have-given-life-its-molecular-asymmetry-20230906/
Water temperature and density is also implicated. https://podcastnotes.org/tetragrammaton-rick-rubin/dr-jack-kruse-and-andrew-huberman-ph-d-tetragrammaton-with-rick-rubin/

The heart content is covered very well in Thomas Cowan’s book - Your Cosmic Heart. It’s a fascinating book that gave me an understanding of how blood letting could work so well.
Great book. We've both touched on a lot of similar topics!
Thank you for expanding the understanding about this glorious organ. This provides me with new keynotes which I can connect to my (w)holistic study of the heart and its circuitry.
I also find this take on the heart (below) revealing and appropriate, from one prominent figure which I have great respect for - Andrew Taylor Still:
“What Are Nerves?
Nerves are the children and associates of one mother—the heart. She, the heart, is the wise form-giving power of life. She is life centralized for the use of each and all animals. All beings are simply constructed through the wisdom in the vital energy contained in this mother's power.
She plans and builds according to the forms necessary to execute the orders of her dictators. She is the mother, nerve, and soul of all nerves pertaining to this body. She orders, constructs, and repairs, and continues in constructing her work to absolute completeness. She is a graduate from the school of the Infinite, and her works are expected to show perfection in forethought, and are to be inspected, passed upon, received, or rejected by the scrutinizing mind of the Infinite, whose orders are very positive, always holding before her mind the penalty of torture and death for failing to do all her work to the fullest degree of physical perfection.
The first command of the Infinite is for her to be at her post, to keep the picture of the plans forever before her eye. Before she makes a motion to construct a fiber of flesh to cover her nakedness, she must open both eyes, and scrutinize and inspect carefully every fiber that enters into the material house known as the physical heart.
First is formed the material heart, in which the spiritual establishes an office in which to dwell and oversee and enforce the requirements of the specifications for constructing the human body or that of any animal, fish, reptile, or bird. Having established the office of life in which the plans and specifications stand in bold relief, she receives from her superior officer an order to prepare a laboratory in which the necessary material is prepared to enter into the construction of this divinely formed being.
She runs or constructs a branch road of transportation to and from that manufactory, which is located at the proper distance from her office to give it plenty of room to carry on the business of manufacturing. She calls this, when done, the abdominal workshop. In order not to be disturbed, she sends out her foreman with instructions to build a fence or wall around herself, and calls that wall the pericardium.
Outside of that are other separating walls, with attachments. At this important moment she reads in the specifications that she is expected to run out the necessary tracks for the construction of a storage battery, the brain, with the grand trunk line, the spinal cord, and connect that battery with her office, the grand central, with wires, the nerves.
As she advances with the plans and specifications, she makes other connections and constructs lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, genital organs, limbs of locomotion, the framework and the finished house, the thorax and abdomen. She patiently continues the performance of making all conveniences necessary for the comfort of the indweller, the spiritual being.
Thus we find the heart to be the mother of all the nerves of the human body, of all its parts and principles known in vital action. From her vital chamber she delivers vitality to all forms, fibers, and functioning substances of life and motion. All parts of the body are wholly dependent on this vital center, and it can move and act without the assistance of any machine or part of the machine to which she has given form and life.
She charges one set of fibers with vitality, and we call them nerves of sensation; she charges another set we call nerves of nutrition, and another set of wires we call nerves of motion. They have no motion, no sensation, no nutriment; they are simply roads for the convenience of executing the orders as found in the plans and specifications of life.
My object in the foregoing description of the heart is to draw the attention of the reader to another thought that I will present as well as I can. We can all comprehend that the heart is the engine of blood-force and supply. With this statement I will ask the question, Would the severing of a nerve produce paralysis of a limb or any division of the body, or would it be the tearing up of the road between the limb and the heart?
It is true enough that the brachial nerve reaches the brain from the arm. If that nerve has been severed and motion destroyed, has it not separated the limb from the storage battery, the brain, from whence it was supplied?
To illustrate this thought more forcibly, I will compare the heart to a tree whose fruit is good to eat, nice to behold, fine in flavor, and surely a child of the mother tree. The wood, the leaf, and the coloring matter of the leaf, limb, and fruit are simply physical expressions of the power of the mother tree to create variations in the several divisions of the tree.
What evidence have we, that is absolute and undebatable, that all physical forces of the body are not conceived, developed, and issued from the heart? We speak of sensory nerves, nutrient nerves, motor nerves, voluntary and involuntary nerves, and to some degree we have described their special locations. By the knife and microscope we have found that all systems of nerves have one universal connection.
We have found nothing that would warrant us in saying that the brain has any power to create nerve fluid or force. We can talk about the brain of the head, the abdominal brain, the brain of the liver, and go on with such speculative divisions and find a new brain in every ganglion of the body, but we have only found storage batteries from the heart that are new to our observation.
We find one cluster in the lungs, one in the brain, one in the stomach and bowels, one at the kidneys, uterus, bladder, spine, and limbs, but all sing "Sweet Home" to Mother Heart when peace and harmony prevail, and cry with anguish when she fails to communicate the glad tidings of health, peace, plenty, and harmony. Thus, joy is perpetual when the watch-man cries, "All is well.” “

WOW! Thank you for sharing this David Roy, very much :-))
A wonderfully beautiful offering!
Thank you so much for this article. You know, the Bible mentions the heart as if it’s more than a pumping machine. I believe the inspired writers were referring to some of the heart’s attributes that you discussed.
Kind of illustrates that we still have much to learn about the human body. Thanks for the kind words advocating for innocent animals.
Thank you!
As always, another profoundly informative article. The abilities of our heart is so much more than a pump, as you so well described. Thanks!
Thank you.
I am reading a book by dr. Guylaine Lanctot, the medical mafia, she gave up on western medicine, not only because of mentioned mafia, but she states that the western systems are a medicine of sickness, not of health, and that eastern and 'soft' medicine is a system of health. Most doctors still consider the human body like a car. Nothing is further from the truth, as you too have demonstrated. We are not machines. The heart is not an inanimate pump. We are part of nature and nature is way too big for our human understanding. Thankfully a few scientists are still trying to explain and find answers and heal people, while most are trying to find more illnesses and keep the money machine running. (I will have to read this article a few times as usual, and saved it for later, thank you )
