Good Sir - you have been knocking it out of the ‘agreed upon’ ballpark almost on a daily basis for....months.

We note and respect your diligence and creation of a library that examines so many diverse topics that can help others when they need it.

Thank you, brother. 🪷

A very interesting analysis, even from a lay persons point of view. As an energy healing practicioner, it seems intuitively correct that stress plays a huge part in illness. Great to see someone kept looking for the mechanism. Thank you both for this information.

Very interesting ideas, I can fully believe that the current paradigm is wrong. Kind of a weak interview if he just keeps saying to read his book.

Unbekoming's avatar

Agree. Now addressed, please see Q7 and Q13.

It was a bit jarring to start to get an idea of what he was on about and have it truncated and redirected to his book. But being an older person myself, I get his economy of words and the fuller explanation that his book provides. We are going to have to dig for it. Old pharts are tough task masters. 🤣

That stress is the major cause of illness is not unique to Dr Coleman. Though his proposed treatments maybe are.

Here's Dr Denis Rancourt (who every Covid skeptic should be aware of): He sees stress (and therefore health) as a consequence of one's position in the dominance hierarchy.

Rancourt:

Abstract Part-I: I critically review the context of cancer research, where it has been advanced that most published research findings are false, that medicine itself is the third leading cause of death in the Western world, and that experienced stress arising from an individual’s position in society’s dominance hierarchy is the primary determinant of individual health. Part-II: I critically review the randomized trials for treatments and screening, especially for breast cancer. It has been advanced that screening does more harm than good, and that treatment protocols have little effect on net population mortality from cancer. There is no robust demonstration that the treatment protocols for the common cancers do more good than harm to individual patients. Part-III: I critically review the mutation-centric metastasis dominant paradigm of cancer, and various efforts to somewhat or definitively challenge the dominant paradigm, with an eye to answering the question “What is cancer?” Final section: I propose a conceptual model of cancer, which incorporates the leading criticisms of the dominant paradigm, and which is testable. In my model, cancer is an age-dependent and tissue-specific stress-induced breakdown of tissue-shape homeostasis. My model is aided by a graphical picture depicting age-specific and tissue-specific curves of steady-state nodule size (DT) versus experienced stress level (S). A given curve has a critical stress (SC) beyond which there is runaway tumour growth due to tissue-response feedback. Here, “metastasis” is the simple consequence of the individual’s tissue susceptibility to loss of shape homeostasis having gone supercritical for a cluster of tissue-specific DT v. S curves. The model provides treatment strategies on three branches: Psychological, tissue-surface-shape homeostasis, and tumour growth feedback attenuation.

Interestingly, I share a similar perspective and have also developed a mathematical model for cancer.

"Mathematical Model"

Thanks, but no thanks. Do you understand why I say this?

CM Maccioli's avatar

Permit me to save you some time Liu. All cancer comes from Vaccines. There, I solved your mathematical model.

Xuewu Liu's avatar

Mathematical models describe a process and don’t specify a starting point. The origin of cancer isn’t important. When there are no effective treatments available, the focus shouldn’t be on what causes cancer.

I find the reference to the individual and society enough. Hamer (Germanic New Medicine) is still being suppressed. The key is to prevent everyone from looking by himself (for no-one else can do it) for the mistakes or contradictions (ideas and feelings are frequently in that position) having caused stress and disease. Stress is felt. The revolution in progress will not contribute to renewal of the scientific paradigm (much less so in the medical field) but rather to its demise. Scientific ideas have little to do to help anyone heal, with some reservation as to the meaning of infections.

Such great points raised here, which touches on some really important points that are always overlooked within the one-pill-for-every-ill paradigm:

- modern medicine focuses on the 'right' intervention. Dietary/supplement support can be of great help, but what is sorely missing here is recognising that the body will not heal unless it is in healing state. This was self-evident to those in the healing professions in the past but seems to have gone missing in recent times, where we spend so much energy in our forlorn search for The Ultimate Protocol for Condition X.

- CO2 has reliable and powerful effects in stimulating the vagus nerve, which itself is central in entering this healing state (aka parasympathetic dominance, aka 'rest-and-digest'). Anyone can experience these effects through breathwork techniques, in particular techniques - like "box breathing" and, in particular, "4-7-8 breathing" - which permit rapid increases in carbon dioxide levels. Also worth noting how The Oxygen Advantage-type techniques (see the work of Patrick McKeown, itself based on the Buteyko technique) can also allow for improved tolerance of CO2 and, as a result, healthier/higher levels at baseline.

NEEDS TO BE PUSHED FAST. KROGER'S HAS IT ON SALE THIS WEEK. Boar’s Head recall expanded to include 7 million meat, on top of the 200,000 pounds of ready-to-eat liverwurst products and some other deli meats amid an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes illnesses linked with sliced meat from grocery store deli counters. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/30/health/boars-head-recall-listeria/index.html

BYE..BYE..BOAR'S HEAD!!! - 7 Million Pounds Affected!

I developed a unified biological theory using a mathematical model based on the second law of thermodynamics, which can explain most biological phenomena.

I asked Copilot: What are the practical steps to maintaining health and curing disease in light of Coleman's theories?

Here is the response:

**According to Dr. Lewis Coleman’s stress mechanism theory, maintaining health and curing disease involves calming stress hyperactivity through specific physiological interventions—especially therapeutic hypercarbia, anesthesia, and narcotic analgesia.** These methods aim to restore balance in the body’s stress response system, which Coleman believes is the root cause of most illness.

---

## 🧪 Core Principles of Coleman’s Health Strategy

### 1. **Understand Stress as a Physiological Mechanism**

- Disease is viewed as *excessive or misregulated tissue repair activity* triggered by chronic stress.

- The stress mechanism involves overlooked factors like **von Willebrand factor (VWF)** and **tissue factor (TF)**—not just HPA hormones like cortisol or adrenaline.

### 2. **Use Therapeutic Hypercarbia**

- Controlled elevation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels—*not hyperventilation*—is central.

- CO₂ enhances oxygen delivery, reduces blood flow resistance, and supports cellular metabolism.

### 3. **Apply Anesthesia and Narcotic Analgesia**

- These calm the “cognitive” and “nociceptive” stress pathways.

- Coleman proposes using them not just for surgery but as *core treatments* for critical illness and cancer.

### 4. **Neutralize Tissue Factor Activity**

- TF is implicated in sustaining malignant tissue repair states (e.g., cancer).

- Coleman suggests using TF antidotes to disrupt this cycle and induce apoptosis.

---

## 🏥 Practical Applications for Disease Treatment

### 🔴 Acute and Critical Illnesses

- Conditions like **ARDS, COVID, sepsis, heart attacks, and strokes** can be stabilized using:

- General anesthesia

- Narcotic analgesia

- Therapeutic hypercarbia

- Antibiotics (with enhanced penetration via stress modulation)

### 🟡 Chronic Diseases

- **Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions** (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) may be prevented or reversed using hypercarbia therapy.

### ⚫ Cancer

- Seen as a *self-sustaining stress state*, not a genetic defect.

- Proposed treatment: anesthesia + narcotics + hypercarbia + TF antidotes—though this protocol remains untested.

---

## 🧘 Preventive Health Measures

While Coleman emphasizes clinical interventions, his theory also implies lifestyle strategies to reduce stress mechanism hyperactivity:

- **Avoid chronic exposure to toxins, radiation, and emotional distress**

- **Support respiratory health** (e.g., avoid overuse of mechanical ventilation)

- **Challenge conventional dogmas**—especially the idea that CO₂ is toxic

Veggies too. Vegetables sold at Walmart and Aldi recalled over listeria concerns

Over 18 types of vegetables sold at Walmart, Kroger, Aldi and more have been recalled due to possible contamination with listeria. Here's which produce is affected.

CM Maccioli's avatar

My question is, why would they tell us, as if they care? Decades ago an article was written about Columbian coffee, those Juan Valdez commercials. So I started buying African coffee, then realized, OK, ya got me, went back to Columbian. It was all political.

Watch History Channel Foods that Built America. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10098248/.

My parents drank 8 O'clock coffee. I mix Kroger's and Yuban, or Folgers. RC Cola was the soda as a kid. Today 0 sodas. I learned to eat cheap from raising 3 boys with no child support.

They don't care, they want to control what you eat, so they can control you. Ala Gates, Soros, WHO, and Greta. Never have seen this many recalls.

Both can keep their bugs.

Yes, I remember 8 O'clock coffee and RC. Now, neither is found. Thing is, these people already did me in with seed oils and one molecule away from plastic Cool Whip, which frankly I never liked, but everyone else did. There's no doubt in my mind heart disease comes from seed oils, but natch, they say it's cholesterol. Now, I read labels like no other I know. There is absolutely nothing you can buy in stores that's not loaded with seed oils. Now I bake using organic everything but I sure would like a Tasty Cake once in a while, but no way.
