Where is our resilience?

Those of us born in the first half of the 20th century were battered, bruised, and abused only to wear it as a badge of honor. 

Where is our resilience?

That resilience is absent today. Our genes do not change that quickly but our epigenome (environment) does. The aromatic ring is the backbone of the rescue chemicals used in times of duress. These chemicals or neurotransmitters, serotonin, tryptophan, dopamine and melatonin are held together by this aromatic ring. These transmitters are not produced by our genome but by the bacteria in our gut, and stabilize the brain by signaling or direct contact.

Toxins (PCB’s etc.) smash the aromatic ring and pesticides kill the gut bacteria leaving the brain rescue system without the resources to handle the stress. This information is not an opinion, it is from science, paid for by our taxes. The solution is simple, just a change of attitude to our environment and reform of food safety, before we run totally out of neurotransmitters.
