In the models I am looking at, time is a width of light. The past (moon) is too narrow. The future (sun) is too wide.
If my understanding of time’s width is off, it is possible the new red blood cells I make will be too large or too small.
With Reynaud’s, when I would lose circulation in my extremities during very cold weather, my body could correct itself relatively swiftly. Lately, I seem to “get stuck” for longer. Once my RBCs read as the wrong size to my brain, I can make a whole new set—but this takes 120 days. And, by the time I finish making them, will the scale of time have changed again?
Laura Hillenbrand, famous ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) sufferer, became sick on a very specific night that she details in this terrific New Yorker piece. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/07/07/a-sudden-illness
After eating a high-iron meal (hamburger), while in a state of fight-or-flight (pineal gland dilation?), the light of a meteor entered her eye (and her pineal gland?). She was sick for the next 27 years.
I do not have ME/CFS, but I became sick while living in a moldy house, and many of the symptoms of mold sickness and ME/CFS overlap.
Some things that helped me regain my health:
—Zero glyphosate
—Zero chemical fragrance
—Exposure to “wide” light; I never watch TV on my phone
—Avoiding conflict
—Organic meals that balance carb/protein/fat (“the zone”)
—Giving my brain a “floor” and a “ceiling” to work with, in terms of pH. I often respond positively to a drink that is both bitter and sweet: four shots of espresso with whole milk and organic caramel syrup. Alone, the espresso would be too bitter. Alone, the caramel syrup would be too sweet. Together, they give me a floor and a ceiling to help my brain gauge time. Often, it seems as if my brain is asking: How wide (sweet) is time, and how deep (bitter)?
