Emotional Trauma: Glucose Speeds Healing

Almost everyone encounters "trauma" experiences in life.

It might be walking through a village,

when a dog suddenly rushes up and barks at you,

or living through a major event—

Trauma experiences shape likes and dislikes, sensitivity of response to events,

affect the body, and harm the brain even more.

Sometimes consciousness may forget, but the subconscious still remembers.

Because of trauma, the brain—

lets erosive adrenaline and cortisol invade the nerves.

In the book *Medical Medium*, it is mentioned that

when trauma occurs: it affects brain tissue, neurons, and glial cells,

and glucose can defend the brain against electrical storms.

◼︎ What influences whether a person develops trauma from an event is glucose. ◼︎

Why can the same thing happen to two different people,

one developing PTSD while the other stays calm?

*Medical Medium* says it is because of different glucose reserves.

Glucose puts a "protective shield" over brain and nervous system tissue.

Most people, however, use adrenaline as a substitute "sugar" quick fix;

when the adrenaline fades, it leads to even steeper emotional crashes.

◼︎ Some physical discomforts that appear with trauma responses ◼︎

－Chronic pain and unexplained bodily discomfort

－Long-term fatigue and low energy

－Autonomic nervous system dysregulation

－Declining immune function

－Nervous system overactivation or numbness

－Digestive system issues

－Sleep problems: night awakenings, nightmares, insomnia, etc.—the emotional aftershocks of trauma stay active in sleep.

◼︎ Repairing trauma with nutrition & food ◼︎

The following are nutrients and foods mentioned in *Medical Medium*.

－L-glutamine: helps support brain function and nerve health.

－B vitamins: support cognitive function and strengthen neurotransmitters.

－Ginkgo: can nourish neurons and support neurotransmitters.

－GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid): can strengthen neurotransmitters and calm an overactive mind.

－Spirulina (preferably from Hawaii): helps repair brain tissue and support the central nervous system.

－Siberian ginseng: can strengthen and balance the endocrine system.

◼︎ Taking in natural glucose ◼︎

These foods can raise blood sugar quickly; with portion control they can rapidly replenish brain energy.

－Fruits: bananas, grapes, mangoes, apples, pineapple, dates, raisins.

－Honey, maple syrup, brown sugar: natural simple sugars, absorbed fast, but not to be overdone.

－Starchy staples: white rice, potatoes, bread, congee, corn, sweet potatoes. After digestion they break down into glucose—the main energy source.

－Dairy: lactose can provide some glucose after breakdown.

◼︎ Other ways to repair trauma syndrome ◼︎

－Build new positive experiences to reshape brain nerves.

－Writing, painting, any creative form of output.

－Seek body-mind-spirit healing methods.

Hz Tuning Guide (Silent closing)

When the body remembers pain, it also remembers the way home.

▪︎ 396Hz: Release fear and defense, let the nerves re-enter a safe frequency.

▪︎ 528Hz: The frequency of repair and love, let cells remember they can regenerate.

Close your eyes. Breathe three times.

Imagine the light of the brain slowly flickering.

With each inhale, let fear loosen;

with each exhale, let love flow back into the nerves.

Not suppressing trauma, but letting it be nourished,

and reborn into another kind of clarity.

We always have the possibility of creating a brand-new self.
