Abstract
Despite the immense advances of medical research there remains a fundamental theoretical deficit regarding how the body is able to maintain its physiological stability. In other words, what is the mechanism which regulates homeostasis and allostasis and/or what is the relationship between genotype and the influence of the environment (phenotype)? Despite the immense amount of publicity given to the huge increases in the occurrence of the most common lifestyle related ailments (e.g. diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, etc) which have occurred in recent years; most people in the world still have relatively normal levels of body weight and remain free from medical problems during their lifetimes, at least until their advancing years when their body is increasingly less able to maintain its normal regulated function. This article considers whether it is now possible to understand the nature, structure and function of this regulatory mechanism in far more detail than has hitherto been possible. This neuroregulatory mechanism involves the influence of light upon brain function and hence upon the autonomic nervous system and physiological systems. There is a particular emphasis in this article upon the regulation of Blood Glucose and how Acidity plays a significant role in diabetes etiology. Finally, the article introduces a Mathematical Model of the Autonomic Nervous System and/or the Physiological Systems (developed by Dr IG Grakov) which has been incorporated into a commercialised technology which is based upon the concepts outlined.
Highlights
Our sense perception enables us to eat the correct amounts of food and, under normal circumstances, we cease eating when we have eaten sufficient food, and we drink sufficient to sati sfy the body ’s need for liquid
A mathematical model of the autonomic nervous system should make the link between sensory input, brain function and cellular & molecular biology
Any technology based upon a mathematical model of the autonomic nervous system would be able to determine the onset and progression of these pathologies at these different levels in order to define the nature of each medical condition, it is necessary to consider the levels of a protein or its substrate which are reactive and not just the prevailing level of a component. This is discussed in greater detail in Light and Colour as a Therapeutic Modality section. By basing such a technology upon a mathematical model of the autonomic nervous system it is possible to evade the side-effects e.g. which affect genetic screening through the inability to precisely define the complex mechanism by which the genes are able to express a particular protein; and takes into account how the prevailing intercellular environment influences the structure of proteins and influences their coiled nature and reactivity, which influences the ability of the reactive protein to react with its receptor
Summary
Our sense perception enables us to eat the correct amounts of food and, under normal circumstances, we cease eating when we have eaten sufficient food, and we drink sufficient to sati sfy the body ’s need for liquid. The regulation of Blood Glucose, Blood Pressure, Acidity, Sleep and other essential biological and biophysical factors exhibit the characteristics of neurally regulated Physiological Systems They involve many different causal factors, are polygenomic and multipathological, and yet are regulated within homeostatic limits e.g. hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, hypertension and hypotension, acidosis and alkalosis, and hypersomnia and hyposomnia (insomnia). Medical reference journals continue to cite the contemporary definition of physiological systems which appears to be at variance with accepted medical findings [8,9] This process of neuroregulation may be responsible for all aspects of our function and behaviour [10] e.g. sensing nutrients, activating neuronal functions, and regulating homeostasis [11]; except in chronic cases where organ systems are unable to respond to the neural instructions to return an organ to homeostasis. There is a dynamic relationship between the function of the brain and the visceral organs (Figure 1)
