'Arid lands do not recover easily. Take great care" .... The same is true of the dessicating body of an ageing woman or one with a diffuse syndrome.

'Mismatch - why our world no longer fits our bodies' (2006). Mismatch explains that many of our current social and health problems, such as the current obesity epidemic, and its consequences including diabetes and heart disease, are the result of our bodies not keeping pace with the world we inhabit.

Findings from The Peckham Experiment (1930’s Britain):
‘Ease is one of the outstanding action-patterns of health. It appears, for instance in the infant as serenity.’ (p.188) […] ‘Between the “immune” and the “insusceptible” there is a difference in the body’s action-pattern. We do not, however, yet know on what this attribute of insusceptibility rests.’ (p.238)

Ph.D. research and found out that there is no known framework to understand how this works or the unmet needs associated. I studied all the accepted explanations, traced where this difficulty comes from, and discovered an unrecognised way of thinking in imaging usually interpreted as ‘just imagining things’ or ‘all in your head’. [LINK 2] I studed all treatments (medical and societal) and where they lead to.
Eventually a simpler view came and I found new options to explore. The fieldwork I started aims to find these ways to live better and participate in society despite this difficulty.

after my Ph.D. findings were refused publication by the 'Community of Science' because (a) they present a geometric modelling method that is not 'complex' (b) they concern the Ecology of Health both physical and (in)human(e), for which there are no combined journals (c) they go in the opposite direction to most 'high profile' research even though going in the direction desired by increasing numbers of people victims of stress and yoyo life events.

This is a hidden but spreading problem that
could be turned around to benefit both community ad environment. My experimental field work
therefore also serves a goal of awareness raising about this growing problem,
for which there is a ‘basic option’ solution, and to appeal to ‘crowd funding’ for this research.

LINK 9: The Water
Stress Hypothesis (blog of references) Water stress is well known in plants, which then falter and cannot use properly their 'hydraulic framework'; this is not translated to humans: Most humans do not hold adequate posture because of dried spinal discs (the hydraulic framework of the spine being dysfunctional, it is compensated by muscles, which gives rise to chronic tension and somato-psychic armoring'). Most humans do not thrive easily because water is necessary for energy production as well as keeping cells alive and with their basic vegetative functions. Much degeneration (including those attributed to ageing such as arthritis) can be traced back to maldistribution of water, induced by stress hormones that get hijacked into the brain as neurotransmitters for mental functions (for example high Adrenaline and NorEpinephrine help 'cope' but have drastic counter-productive effects onto local body functions. Corticosteroids (mainly Cortisol, another stress hormone) are also involved in ageing degeneration.

LINK 9bis: Topology in the body' This file contains images of how topology can be used to describe shifting topographic distributions in the body. Topology' is an animated geometry describing small distorsion that is very well suited to describing small alterations of shape and function in the body, for example shifting pains or altered physical appearance, or misdistribution of water in body hydration. Physical common sense uses these instinctively to realise 'what's going on' and avoid illness, to 'see' what needs to be done to reduce the coming close to crisis, reduce physiological struggle that is impairing health and the practical ability to remain operational..... However, as a mathematical and theoretical discipline, it has been developed into 'advanced' descriptions of large deformations (''transformations') in the human domain (e.g. social, mental), violent modifications ('change' under critical conditions and endless forming-reForming, in organisations of any type, etc. -. It now focuses inversely on fostering critical changes (crises) justified as 'for survival', rather than supporting life, keeping things on track and bodies safe and sound... to foster physiological Ease instead of crises.

Article: Fibromyalgia in a different view
Abstract: The 2007 review series ‘Biology and therapy of fibromyalgia’ in this journal was followed by a number of letters containing hypotheses based on connections and similarities to other illnesses. Eisinger in particular proposed that Russell’s 1993 concept of two subgroups with opposite ways of autonomic functioning would permit coexistence of some contradictory findings and controversial hypotheses. Scientific, biopsychosocial and clinical perspectives varyingly classify FMS in association with many other diffuse syndromes, comorbid or not. The generally accepted model of FMS as centrally sensitised appears effective to describe most patients seen by specialists, but some contradictory findings remain unexplained, especially regarding norepinephrine. This contribution presents a practical way of modelling two cas de figure of FMS, differently from medical descriptions. It draws from the general framework of the ‘ecology of health’, physical and human, a general impression of the FMS landscape and, rather than a systematic review of a complex and increasing specialised and broad field of study, identifies from the literature a few properties amenable to a basic, geometric form of topologic modelling. This permits to understand differently a certain category of patients, whose needs are different for those of the majority.
Abstract: Pain can take many forms, and finding an adequate treatment is sometimes difficult. In Fibromyalgia, the brain or nerves are usually seen as the culprit of hyperalgesia. The role of the 'hypothalamic osmostat' has been overlooked. We report here a pain effect relieved by the hormone oxytocin (OT) and better baseline dehydration. Case presentation A Caucasian 53 year-old menopausal female with fibromyalgia presented with unexplained 'burning' pain, among others. Endocrine, nervous, and immune investigations revealed nothing that could explain it. Her medical history included a sensitive nervous system and an untreated lifelong low-grade dehydration. The triggering factor was traced back to a one-month course of bio-identical progesterone that had worsened the dehydration. The hypothalamus is involved in various ways in symptoms of fibromyalgia and stress sensitivity, but also in the water balance regulated by the hypothalamic osmostat, so attention turned to the hormone oxytocin. OT is seldom used in therapeutic setting, except in obstetric care. Current research on oxytocin tends to focus on its central role in the brain, using large doses, and on its interaction with vasopressin, affecting reproductive and social behaviour. A more basic role for oxytocin in the hypothalamic osmostat has become apparent through systemic effects in this patient. A two-week intranasal treatment with low-dose OT proved effective in resolving the burning pain, but also resulted in a general improvement, including of hydration. This report discusses sensitivity, similarity with critical conditions, dose-related and baffling 'inverted' effects. The unexpected general improvement described here offers benefit for vital functions and other 'basic' needs, as well as the capacity for physical self-care and compliance with a treatment. The protocol used could be a new avenue to better match treatments to the needs of 'sensitive' patients. - Please see also additional files: 1- What is known about OT (2010), 2- Theoretical reflections about OT
