FOREWORD
It is a hope to await sunup at dawn with optimism
for a good day.
Eating certain vegetables, fruits, and grain can
reduce the emotion resonance intensity of trauma flashbacks and insomnia
battle dreams. These medicinal Dawndaylight foods can be included in meals
to slightly ease the symptoms of PTSD.
INTRODUCTION
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD/post-combat
neurosis/combat veteran neurosis) is a reoccurring of the horrible emotion
that was originally experienced amidst deadly military combat. Felt as
flashbacks and recall, battle, night-time, insomnia dreams (nightmares
of the battles). Throughout the ages warriors, men-at-arms and soldiers
have all suffered from war-related post-traumatic stress disorder.[1] Ancient
Greek and Roman texts record warrior PTSD.[1] In the Middle Ages the PTSD
of knights was described.[1] During the 20th century, in this present age,
that soldiers experience PTSD has also been documented.[2,3] Not all soldiers
who have experienced trauma during battle will suffer from PTSD.[3,4] Rather,
soldiers who are in a gruelled condition from overwork, exhaustion, tiredness,
under-nourishment, hunger, or loneliness during battle are at more risk
of acquiring PTSD.[4,2] Further risk factors include a soldier's genetics,
age, personality traits, and previous combat experience or training. PTSD/combat
veteran neurosis - like the suffering of an earthquake survivor - is not
because of "Mental illness", but is rather, in fact, caused by experiencing
trauma during war whist being in a gruelled condition.[1]
The symptoms of PTSD can be eased by eating specific medicinal plants. Dawndaylight is sixteen edible plants that are medicinal for PTSD. These sixteen plants are: spelt seeds (Triticum aestivum ssp./var./sub species/sub sp. spelta), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), carrot (Daucus carota var. sativa), sesame seeds (Pedaliaceae Sesamum indicum), cucumber vegetable (Cucumis sativus), date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera), peach fruit (Prunus persica), pear fruit (Pyrus communis), passion fruit (Passiflora incarnata), avocado fruit (Lauraceae Persea americana), sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis), nasturtium (Tropaeolaceae Tropaeolum majus), green capsicum vegetable (Capsicum annuum var. annuum), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), and wild lettuce (Compositae Lactuca virosa). Eaten - a blend of spelt seeds and banana - can reduce the emotion resonance intensity of trauma flashbacks. At night-time either: pear fruit, passion fruit, avocado fruit, cucumber, nasturtium, green capsicum vegetable, cauliflower, almonds or wild lettuce can be added and eaten to reduce the emotion intensity of battle dream insomnia and make for deeper restfulness.
SPELT
AND SUCROSE (SUGAR) AS A POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER MEDICINAL
Spelt (Triticum aestivum ssp./var./sub
species/sub sp. spelta) is a primitive and ancient variety of wheat
grain crop.[5,6] There are numerous groups of spelt (with in the subspecies
spelta).[7,8,9] Spelt genes evolve as the genes of every spelt seed
are changed slightly by their environment and so differ with each new generation
of crop.[10] Swiss scientists have analysed genes from three hundred year
old spelt. They then compared the three hundred year old genes to the genes
of contemporary wheat and spelt crops. By these comparisons they can speculate
on the origins and genetic evolutionary development of spelt.[11] Spelt
is the same botanical order, family and species as wheat (Triticum aestivum)[5,7]
and in many ways is similar to wheat (Triticum aestivum). Spelt
(Triticum aestivum sub species spelta) crop looks very much
like wheat crop.[12] On average single, spelt, grain kernels weigh less
and are smaller than those of wheat[13], but the whole spelt plant is heavier
than a wheat plant.[13] To comparatively analyse wheat phytochemicals to
those of spelt, biochemists can use texture analysis, on near infrared
spectrometry, chemical reference methods, and multivariate data analysis
e.g. chemometrics, etc.[6] The phytochemical composition of spelt (Triticum
aestivum sub species spelta)[14] does differ to that of wheat
(Triticum aestivum) and this is because of genetic evolution and
selective agricultural cultivation.[6] Levels of the microelements Cu,
Mn, Zn and Co are higher in spelt than in wheat.[15] Spelt also contains
about 1/3 (approximately 33%) more gluten than wheat.[16] The hulled (hull-pared/without
a hull) seeds (grain) of the spelt plant (Triticum aestivum sub
species spelta) can be pulverised (e.g. stoneground, etc.) and then
eaten for medicine in the medicinal treatment of PTSD. While wheat (Triticum
aestivum) seedlings do contain some phytochemicals that are medicinal
for PTSD such as folacin[17,18], wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds
are comparatively not (particularly) medicinal for treating PTSD. Hulled
spelt (Triticum aestivum sub species spelta) seeds are medicinal
for PTSD, either because they contain these medicinal phytochemicals (i.e.
folacin, glutamic-acid, glutamates) in effectively higher amounts or as
I expect they contain different and unique medicinal phytochemicals that
wheat (Triticum aestivum) is without. The phytochemicals of spelt
can be analysed and described[14,19,20,21] for structural and molecular
medicinal compounds.[22,17] Italian biochemists know all the phytochemicals
that constitute spelt (Triticum aestivum sub species spelta)
by having applied chemical analytical techniques such as pyrolysis/gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry (PY/GC/MS).[16,23,24,25] Maybe spelt seeds
contain high amounts of glutamic acid, glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase,
glutamate oxalacetate transaminase or glutamate pyruvate transaminase.
Wheat seeds contain glutamate dehydrogenase and minerals.[17,18] Perhaps
these are medicinal for PTSD and higher medicinal amounts of these occur
in spelt seeds. I don't yet know which exact spelt (seed) phytochemical
molecules make spelt medicinal for treating PTSD (when combined with sucrose).
Neither do I know the pharmacodynamics of sucrose and spelt seeds. That
spelt is a - food - said to calm mood was described as yester ago as the
European Middle Ages. Soothly, spelt - cuisined - with a calmative, e.g.
lettuce (lactucin), banana (sucrose), and carrot (lithium) is a meal medicinal
for PTSD.
SOME
OF THE PHYTOCHEMICALS IN THE DAWNDAYLIGHT PLANTS THAT ARE MEDICINAL FOR
PTSD
The main edible parts of the plants: sugar beet,
spelt, carrots, sesame seeds, cucumber, date palm fruit, pears,
peaches, passion fruit, avocado fruit, almonds, nasturtiums, green capsicum
vegetable, cauliflower and lettuce each contain over one or two hundred
different phytochemicals.[17,18] Many of which, together, can help to reduce
the emotion resonance intensity of trauma flashbacks.[17,22,26,27,28] A
few examples include: lithium, which occurs in carrots (Daucus carota),
and peach fruits.[17] Magnesium, which is found in carrots, almonds, sesame
seeds, avocado fruits[17] and spelt (very possibly).[17] Tryptophan, which
occurs in carrots, spelt (possibly)[17], and sesame seeds.[17] Folacin,
which is in carrots, almonds, sesame seeds, and spelt (very possibly[17]).[17]
Glutamic-acid, which is in almonds, sesame seeds, and spelt (very possibly[17]).[17]
Sucrose (disaccharide sugar) which is found in sugarcane, sugar beet, dates
(Phoenix dactylifera) pineapples (Ananas comosus)
peach fruits, bananas, and to a lesser amount sesame seeds.[17] These and
other phytomolecules[17,18] combined with the following phytochemicals
found in Dawndaylight foods - that bring about sleepiness - can ease the
emotion resonance intensity of insomnia battle dreams. Caffeic-acid, a
sedative, that occurs in both pears[17],
and lettuce.[17] Hyoscyamine and the sedative[17,29] lactucarium molecules[29]
(i.e. lactucaxanthin[18], lactucin, lactucopicrin[17)[17,29] occur in all
of the numerous lettuce (Lactuca) varieties.[17,18,30] These sedatives
might be more concentrated in wild lettuces
(e.g. Lactuca serriola, Lactuca saligna, etc.) as
older, uncultivated, bitter tasting, lettuce sub-species ancestors can
be eaten in much less amounts than modern lettuce (Compositae Lactuca
sativa) for a similar sleepiness.[27,28] Niacin, found in peach fruit,
passion fruit and avocado fruit[17] is necessary for sleep. Palmitoleic
acid, an anti-insomnious phytochemical[17], is in peach fruit.[17] Pantothenic-acid,
also anti-insomnious[17], is in avocado fruit. Zinc, an essential element
in the human body[31], occurs in avocado fruit, and possibly peach fruit.[27,17]
The tranquilliser harman[17,28] is found in passion fruit.[17] There are
many dozens of other medical phytochemicals in the Dawndaylight foods[17,22]
which can ease the symptoms of PTSD.
SOY
PLANT GLUTAMATE-OXALOACETIC-TRANSAMINASE AS A HYPOTHETICAL PTSD MEDICINAL
Glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase is an enzymatic
structure (very large compared to the size of many soybean phytonutrients)[32]
that occurs in the soybean plant (Leguminosae Glycine max).[17]
It might be in sprouting soybeans, but not the unsprouted bean.[17,18]
Studies suggest that Glutamic-acid is a medicinal for some neuroses.[17,18]
I hypothesise that, a similar glutamic, glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase
is a PTSD medicinal. At increasing cooking temperatures the activity of
glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (an enzyme) declines.[33] So cooked or
heated soybeans are ineffective.[33] Simply eating unprocessed, fresh,
raw sprouting soybeans is ideal. Raw soybean sprouts, and raw soybeans
eaten each cause temporary fatigue; unless they are consumed with additional
foods.
KURRAT
GARLIC GLUTAMATE-DEHYDROGENASE AS A HYPOTHETICAL PTSD MEDICINAL
Botanically kurrat garlic is a leek. Kurrat garlic
(also called elephant garlic) (Liliaceae Allium ampeloprasum) when
uncooked contains glutamate-dehydrogenase.[17,18] Studies suggest that
glutamic-acid is medicinal for some neuroses.[17,18] I hypothesise that
glutamate-dehydrogenase, which is similar to glutamic-acid, might be a
PTSD medicinal. Garlic is high in sulphuric acid and should be eaten or
blended with other foods to reduce acid concentration thus protecting teeth.
Unless cuisined with additional foods raw kurrat garlic eaten can cause
temporary fatigue. Waking at least once during the night (within approximately
4 hours of going to sleep) and returning to sleep might also prevent kurrat
garlic from causing temporary fatigue.
PTSD
MEDICINAL ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE FOODS
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) fruit[17,18],
and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) vegetable[17,18,27] (eaten raw) can
each reduce blood pressure by relaxing arterial constriction.[17,18] An
increase in circulatory arterial blood flow[17,18,27] can ease some PTSD
symptoms. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) vegetable, and date palm (Phoenix
dactylifera) fruit[17,18] are each medicinal for PTSD.
THE
DAWNDAYLIGHT MEDICINAL FOODS FOR TREATING INSOMNIA
Historically peach, and passion fruit (Passiflora
incarnata) leaves have been eaten to treat insomnia.[27,28] Almost
all the phytochemicals that occur in citrus leaves are also present in
citrus fruits.[35] The leaves, flowers[28] and fruits[17] of the passionfruit
vine contain an alkaloid tranquilliser[17,28] called harmen.[17,28] There's
a high possibility that the sedative phytochemicals that occur in peach
leaves[17,18,27] are also present in peach fruits.[17,18,22] Like lettuce[27,28],
perhaps old, heirloom, peach fruit varieties[36] are higher in sedatives
than contemporary peach fruits. Peaches eaten without additional foods
causes temporary fatigue. (Certain foods eaten with peach fruit can enable
peaches to be medicinal for PTSD). Peach fruits contain trace amounts of
lithium[17] which may reduce nightmares.[17,31] Avocado fruit eaten can
reduce nightmares[26] as it contains zinc, niacin, tryptophan[17,26], pantothenic-acid
and quite high amounts of magnesium.[17] An almond (sometimes defined as
an almond nut) is the soft center of the almond tree (prunus dulcis)
seed. Almonds, cauliflower, green capsicum vegetable, and nasturtiums (like
avocado fruit) are not soporiferous.[34] Still, nasturtium vine nodes -
eaten with - nasturtium vine internodes, nasturtium flowers, nasturtium
stems, nasturtium leaves, almonds, green capsicum vegetable and cauliflower
before sleeping (e.g. as a supper) can ease several PTSD symptoms. That
lettuce brings about sleepiness is very well documented and[28,34] has
been written about as long ago as the European Middle Ages.[34] Pears
are sedatingly[17,34] soporiferous as they contain very high amounts of
caffeic-acid.[17] Insomnia is difficulty sleeping which includes falling
asleep, staying asleep, and quality of sleep. Passion fruits or lettuce,
when eaten, can help people to fall asleep and remain asleep. They are
medicinal for insomnia.[27,28,34]
Warning: Do not self medicate with the leaves,
flowers or bark of fruit trees, and fruit vines. In
this web site I'm not recommending the use of leaves, bark or flowers from
fruit trees or fruit vines.
SUCROSE
(SUGAR) FROM HOME GARDEN GROWN SUGARCANE SUGAR BEET AND FRUITS
Sugarcane, and sugar beet contain the disaccharide
sugar sucrose. There is a high concentration of sugar (sucrose) in the
roots of the sugar beet plant (Beta vulgaris).[17,34] Raw brown
table sugar is over processed sugar beet or sugarcane that has been heated
up (cooked).[31] This reduces the phytonutrient content. Fresh sugarcane
juice that is extracted straight from the cane plant is preferable. Growing
your own sugar beet or sugarcane for sucrose to blend down with spelt is
costless, ideal and much preferable. Home grown and garden gathered fresh
sugar beet roots or cane juice retain their phytochemical nutrients.[17,18,37]
So they are less tooth decaying and healthier for long-term consumption
(e.g. eaten every day over a thirty plus year period) than cooked raw table
sugar. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) can be grown in temperate climates[31,34],
where as sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) can be grown in tropically
hot climates. Some fresh fruits also contain sucrose.[17,18] For example:
date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera)[17,18] pineapples (Ananas
comosus)[17,18] and plantain bananas (Musa paradisiaca).[17,18]
Each of these three fruits is over ten-per-cent sucrose[17,18], so they
can be eaten for Dawndaylight sucrose instead of table sugar.
The percentage of sucrose in some common fruits and vegetables [17,18,34]
Palm date Phoenix dactylifera, Palmaceae
40% sucrose
Custard apple (sweetsop) Annona squamosa,
Annonaceae 27% sucrose
Sugar beet (beetroot) Beta vulgaris 27%
sucrose
European chestnut Castanea sativa, Fagaceae
22% sucrose
Pineapple Ananas comosus, Bromeliaceae
15% sucrose
Mango Mangifera indica, Anacardiaceae
13% sucrose
Plantain Banana Musa subspecies paradisiaca,
Musaceae 12% sucrose
Peach fruit Prunus persica, Rosaceae 10%
sucrose
Soybean seed Glycine max, Leguminosae
7% sucrose
Apricot Prunus armeniaca, Rosaceae 5%
sucrose
Plum Prunus domestica, Rosaceae 5% sucrose
Apple Malus domestica, 4% sucrose
Grape Vitis Vinifera, Vitaceae (practically
nil) 0%
Wheat triticum, Gramineae (practically
nil) 0.8%
Please be aware that peach fruit (Prunus persica), and apples (Malus domestica) can cause drowsiness if they are eaten in too high amounts.
SPELT PREPARATION
Spelt grain that is gathered direct from the
crop is preferable to spelt grain that has been in barn (silo) storage
for months. Spelt seeds (grain) can be prepared for eating. The tough outer
hull of spelt grain is hard and must first be removed (pared) before using.[34]
Whole, raw hulled (without a hull) spelt seeds contain phytochemicals (perhaps
stored in the embryo cells[38]) which are basically contraindicative for
PTSD. So, whole, raw hulled (without a hull) spelt seeds/grain should be
soaked in water for approximately 24 hours to solubilise the contraindicative
phytochemicals. (Perhaps by the hydrolytic enzymes[38] from the aleurone
layer[38] of the grain). After (approximately 24 hours) the water solubilised
contraindicative phytochemicals can be washed out of the spelt by stirring
the soaking grain and discarding the water. Then crush and pulverise (grind)
the washed, hulled (without a hull) spelt seeds until they are ground down
to a branlike flour. Ground spelt seeds (branlike/flourlike) turn rancid
(stale) quickly thus losing nutrients. So only grind down as many spelt
seeds as soon to be eaten. It is preferable to eat ground (branlike/flourlike)
spelt uncooked and unheated. Grains have only been farmed for the past
10,000 years[34] and so until then they were probably not eaten by humans
in great quantity. Only small amounts of spelt need be eaten and only consume
as much spelt as is medicinal.
AVOCADO
FRUIT PREPARATION
Avocado fruit (Lauraceae Persea americana)
like bananas (Musaceae Musa spp.) are too hard, inedible, and not
at all tasty until they ripen. Ethylene gas ripens avocado fruit faster.[34]
Apples, and pears release more ethylene gas than do many vegetables.[34]
Avocado fruit ripeness can be managed by putting avocado fruit for ripening
to eat in a bag with apples and pears.[34] At lower temperatures avocado
fruit ripens slower.[34] For storage avocado fruits should be kept in a
cool place. So, by ethylene gas or cooler storing large harvest stacks
of avocado fruits can be made ripe daily for eating instead of all ripening
at the one time. Varieties of avocado fruit have different colour skins
so their skin colour is not a reliable indicator of ripeness.[34] If an
avocado fruit feels soft then it is ripe, however if it feels too soft
then it is over ripe and has probably spoilt.[34] Avocado fruit is also
high in vitamin B6.[34]
APPROXIMATE
DAWNDAYLIGHT DOSAGE
For spelt to be a PTSD medicinal it should be
eaten with (disaccharides) sugar (sucrose). As an approximation on dosage,
perhaps: two thirds a cup of hulled (without a hull) unheated, ground (branlike/flourlike)
spelt seeds and at least five teaspoons of sucrose sugar would need to
be eaten. Instead of eating (over-processed) table sugar it is healthier
to eat fresh fruits that contain sucrose. For example: five plantain banana
(Musa paradisiaca) fruits contain approximately five teaspoons of
sucrose sugar. At night-time - for resting - either: passion fruit, avocado
fruit, or ~25 grams of pear
fruit can be included. Dawndaylight will likely take effect after one
and a half hours. The effect will probably last for about one hour (except
for pear fruit, nasturtium, green capsicum vegetable and cauliflower).
To sustain the effect perhaps Dawndaylight might have to be eaten every
hour (except for pear fruit, nasturtium, green capsicum vegetable and cauliflower).
Approximately six nasturtium flowers - eaten with - nasturtium vine nodes,
nasturtium vine internodes, nasturtium stems, nasturtium leaves, a quarter
of a cauliflower, a green capsicum vegetable and almonds before sleeping
(e.g. as a supper) can ease several PTSD symptoms for at least twelve hours.
Pear fruit has a
soporiferous influence, very potent in duration, which affects for many
hours. So no more than about 25 grams of pear
fruit should be eaten nightly. Which is .88185 of an avoirdupois ounce,
0.80377 of a troy ounce or practically a mouthful. I don't exactly yet
know the precise dosage amount (to eat) of each fruit. Dosage and effect
would vary by a person’s body weight, gender, age, etc. All this is simply
an approximation, people who eat Dawndaylight should adapt and vary the
ingredients and amounts to their liking (with in medicinal effect). A couple
of passion fruit might need to be eaten to gain any effect. The eater can
observe the effects and vary the dosage as Dawndaylight does not impair
cognition or cause any side effects such as dizziness, headache, apathy
or amotivation. Dawndaylight is without hypnotic effect. It is safe in
overdose (except for wild lettuce Lactuca
virosa). All of its ingredients can be picked and eaten fresh from
plants, so it is specifically for long term use (e.g. eaten everyday over
a thirty plus year period). The reduction of PTSD symptoms by Dawndaylight
is slight yet actual. Control over the time length of effect is the primary
advantage of fruits compared to flowers and other herbs. Its soporiferous
influence (except for pear
fruit) only lasts for about an hour, so a person can be work (on call)
ready with in 2.5 hours of taking a dosage. These approximations are just
a guide, please adapt and vary the food amounts, ingredients and in between
snack durations. For example, customised dawndaylight may be: a breakfast
of hulled (without a hull) ground (branlike/flourlike) spelt seeds with
banana, and a carrot lunch. Then a dinner of cucumber with avocado before
a supper of almonds, nasturtium, green capsicum vegetable and cauliflower.
AVOIDING
TOXIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND AGRICULTURAL POLLUTANTS IN ANIMALS
Phospholipids are fats that form part of human
nerves (including brain cells) and muscles.[31] Often phospholipids are
two fatty acids and a phosphoric acid bonded to choline.[31] Organochlorine
(OC) pesticides are sprayed in agriculture and kill by oxidising phospholipids[39,40],
perhaps by the peroxidation[40] of choline[41] (replacing choline with
an oxygen molecule). Regrettably, phospholipid damaging OC pesticide residues
build up in animal fat including cow's milk.[37,39,40,41] Pesticides are
toxic to the human central nervous system (a system built in part with
phospholipids).[39,41] People who have PTSD should try to avoid phospholipid
damaging synthetic pesticide chemicals[37] that occur as residues in food
by buying bio-dynamic (organic) verified produce[37] or home garden growing
their own meals. Unhappy, non-roaming, uncared for cows produce milk and
meat that is much too high in adrenaline (epinephrine). People who have
PTSD should try to avoid animal adrenaline (epinephrine) polluted cows
milk and meats. Some unscrupulous hyper-intensive industrial farm managers
feed their herds on synthetic steroids (growth hormones). The consuming
of steroids and adrenaline (epinephrine) via polluted meats and milk can
(unfairly) cause people to feel very annoyed for no reason. People who
have PTSD should try to avoid such cows milk and meats in which synthetic
steroids occur. Bio-dynamic, and organically certified fresh foods are
less likely to contain these residues of artificial pesticides, synthetical
weedicides, artificial fertilizers and animal growth steroids.[37] Even
so environmental pesticide pollution from air currents, rivers and dusts
can still build up in content bio-dynamic (organic) cows that graze in
clean pastures.[40] There are numerous good dietary calcium alternatives
to (OC pesticide prone) animal milk. For example, one egg shell (crushed
grindingly into powder) from a small hen's egg contains 2.4171 g (0.080571428oz)
of digestible calcium, which is more calcium than occurs in 2 liters of
cow milk. Although eggs can contain OC pesticide residues.[41] Egg shells
are 94% calcium carbonate, 1% magnesium carbonate, 1% calcium phosphate
and only contain 4% organic matter (protein).[34,42] They are without the
fat (pesticide prone) content of cow milk. Unorganic (non bio-dynamic)
hyperintensive (factory) farms actually feed chickens with antibiotics.
The eggs from these factory farms may contain pathogenic micro-organisms
(super-bugs). It's preferable to buy bio-dynamic eggs or raise your own
fresh grass-eating hens, which would lay good eggs for calcium rich egg
shells. Plants can also be eaten for high quantities of digestible calcium.[37]
Home garden grown lettuces are very high in calcium.[43] (However, most
organically verified commercial lettuces, although pristine, are not).
Lettuce is preferable to egg shells and possibly less prone to environmental
pollutants.
AVOIDING
SYNTHETICAL LIGHT
Synthetical light (from electric light globes,
fluorescent lighting, battery powered torches, etc.) is (spectrally) different
to the solar light of the sun.[44] Humans evolved in an environment that
was without artificial lighting.[44] A part of human eye physiology - mistakenly
- interprets the non-evolutionary spectral pattern of such synthetical
lighting as natural light viewed through injured eyes. Thus, eye physiology
seeing (viewing) by (non-evolutionary) artificial light patterns increases
the amount of ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone) and cortisol in the bloodstream.
ACTH and cortisol are injury adaptation hormones. The brighter the artificial
light viewed the greater the (physiologically, mistakenly unnecessary)
increase in ACTH and cortisol is.[44] How, viewing by artificial light
worsens the symptoms of PTSD. People who have PTSD should try to minimise
their exposure to synthetical light or where possible avoid artificial
light. Exposure to synthetical light can be minimised by very much dimming
the brightness of VDU devices, electric lighting (lower wattages) etc.
and (if under bright artificial light) by wearing dark sunglasses. Fortunately,
viewing (seeing) with gentle sunlight[44], fire light, moonlight and starlight
does not bring about any such physiological ACTH/cortisol increase (that
artificial light does). Perhaps during the night prehistoric man glimpsed
glowing, lightening strike forest fires burning on distant mountain ridges
(or maybe the sun is a great fire more simply). There are, as well, hundreds
of creatures that emit light. For example: glow-worms (e.g. Lampyris
noctiluca, Arachnocampa species e.g. luminosa, etc.).
Humans co-evolved with many of these bioluminous creatures, so it seems
unlikely that their light would bring about any such blood ACTH/cortisol
increase. Prehistoric man did rest at night near bioluminous fungi. Although
there are no recorded bioluminous plants, maybe some grow deep in a forest
yet to be cultivated.
MACADAMIA
NUT AND OLIVE OIL LAMPS
The dry kernels of macadamia nuts (Macadamia
integrifolia/tetraphylla/etc.) are approximately 80% oil and
so burn like candles when lit. An economical lamp can be made from a 1/4
(60 ml) measuring cup (placed upon a small block/tray of wood). The (silver/iron/etc.)
cup can then be filled up with heavy (thick) olive (Olea europaea
var. europaea) oil and macadamia nuts. This cup-lamp can be started
by setting fire to the macadamia nuts. (After the macadamia nuts have lit
the olive oil by burning for a while, the very top layer of macadamia nuts
can be trimmed from the lamp to either brighten or dim it). Very fine (small)
grains of salt can be poured into the cup-lamp to burn the macadamia nuts
brightly for a longer duration. Burnt up vegetable oils and the smoke of
burning vegetable oils are toxic, bio-accumulative, and possibly non-biodegradable.
Ventilation is necessary to avoid any inhalation of vegetable oil (macadamia
nut, olive, etc.) fumes. (The cup-lamp can be emptied of all its olive
oil and then filled with new olive oil, approximately hourly, to reduce
smoke). (Burning macadamia nut oil smoulders less sootily than burning
olive oil). Warning: burning vegetable oils are boiling hot. Adult supervision
is necessary if children use macadamia nut and olive oil lamps; using only
macadamia nuts is safer. Only fine salt grains can be used; however, if
the cup-lamp burns low on vegetable oil hazardous salt spluttering might
still occur. Bioluminescence is preferable to vegetable oil lamps.
STARLIGHT
AS A THERAPY FOR PTSD TRANCE INSOMNIA
Starlight is not just more relaxing beautify
scenery (no different, for example, to the white polar ice oceans of Antarctica).
Rather, the human eye actually evolved whilst seeing/looking up at the
night starscape. Starscape and starlight affect human physiology. The starscape
(i.e. constellations) (e.g. galaxies, nebulae, etc. of stars) that people
see in the nightsky is the same starscape that primitive pre-apeman mammals
(early hominids) viewed in the nightsky hundreds of millions of years ago.
Some stars are of light (spectral patterns) that are the same as the moon
and the sun, while many stars are of light (spectral patterns) that are
different to that of sunlight and the light of the moon. So the (star)light
of starscape is different to sunlight or moonlight. PTSD trance insomnia
(that is to stare in a trance like state of mind[45]) can be slightly eased
by staring up into the star filled nightsky at the stars. Viewing starlight
is slightly therapeutic for PTSD trance insomnia, (and may enable deeper,
restful sleep). Lying down can also ease PTSD trance insomnia (a trance
like state of mind). The balance equilibrium/coordination position (in
the ear) of lying down in bed induces a more relaxed physiological state.
OCEANIC
AIR CURRENTS LIGHTENING AIR CURRENTS AND PTSD
Lightening storms, and heavy rainfall deluges
completely restore the natural electricity of air and fill the air with
more natural electricity.[46] Natural electricity occurs in the air in
greater amounts near the ocean, fresh water lakes, rivers, and streams.[46]
There the higher humidity (i.e. up to 7 per-cent water content of the air[31])
conducts, contains, and transfers more natural electricity than drier air.[46]
Air freshly electronated by lakes, rivers, waterfalls, oceans, heavy deluge
rain storms, and lightening storms is medicinal for PTSD insomnia, and
can help people with PTSD to feel more relaxed. Breathing the damp fresh
air of a lightening rain storm before going to sleep and whilst asleep
is very much therapeutic for PTSD.
AVOIDING EARPHONES
People who have PTSD should avoid listening to
the speakers of earphones (speakers) that press in direct contact against
the ear. As these can increase the amounts of ACTH and cortisol in the
bloodstream.[47] To avoid increasing ACTH and cortisol levels from earphone
speakers: amplified sound should travel through the air before it arrives
at the ear.[48]
AVOIDING
AIR POLLUTION AND LOW OXYGEN ENVIRONMENTS
People with PTSD should avoid breathing air that
has been polluted by artificial electricity. Electrical appliances can
be a source of electric air pollution. Electric current (live electricity)
can travel through air, water, and wires/cables. Loud speakers, electric
motors, fluorescent lights, and transformers can each emit live electric
current that travels through the air (very similar to electric current
flowing through water). This live electric (invisible) smoke is of the
air; so (like the smoke of a smouldering fire) it can travel/pollute the
air over a large unventilated area. These currents (being live electricity)
disappear from the air (practically) the instant the 'smouldering' appliance
is switched off (regardless of how far a distance through the air the live
current has actually extended). However, these currents alter the air through
which they travel by taking away the naturally occurring electricity from
some air particles[46] and leaving other air particles too residually electric
in artificial static.[46] So air through which this live electricity has
travelled is stale (even after the current has been switched off). Live
artificial electric air current is breathed in through the nose and flows
into (and through) the nerves of the olfactory system; how increasing the
rate of neurontransmission.[46,49,50] Stale air affects mood.[46,49] People
with PTSD should avoid breathing both live artificial electric current
air, and stale air. Placing a bowl or transparent box over loud speakers
and computer hard drives can contain live current air. Fluorescent light
bulbs emit live electric air pollution current (regardless of their size
and wattage); however, incandescent light bulbs (i.e. classic electric
light bulbs) do not. Avoiding breathing electric current air may be as
practical, simple and costless as replacing fluorescent lighting with low
wattage (dim) incandescent lights, putting a fish bowl over a laptop computer,
putting a small transistor radio into an air tight bag, placing a stereoplayer
in an air tight pot, and opening doors or windows for competing fresh air
breeze ventilation. Washing machines can be switched on before leaving
the house. Similarly, battery powered computers can be rescheduled to (transformer)
recharge late at night in empty, well ventilated rooms. Refrigerators can
be scheduled to shut down/switch off for a short duration (i.e. an hour)
each day, for example, at dinner time when the kitchen is usually occupied
by diners. Some appliances emit only weak electric currents into the air,
and not all airconditioners, central heating systems, electric fans, refrigerators,
washing machines, headphones/earphones, loudspeaker systems, etc. emit
air current pollution. Some loud speakers, and electric motors are sealed
from the air by design during manufacture. These air tight electric motors
and loud speakers have no contact/exposure with/to the air and thus emit
no electric air pollution. For example, some well designed mix masters,
and food processors have their powerful electric motors housed in air tight
units (during manufacture) so as to emit no electric air current pollution.
People with PTSD should also avoid breathing smog exhaust fumes (e.g. petrol
fumes, liquefied petroleum gas fumes, diesel fuel fumes, etc.) and low
oxygen environments.
AVOIDING
MAGNETIC FIELDS
People with PTSD should avoid (standing within)
magnetic fields. Numerous household appliances generate slight magnetic
fields, for example, personal computers, refrigerators, and loud speakers,
etc. Magnetic fields can be easily detected/measured with (orienteering)
compasses (i.e. a North, South, East, West compass). The strength and location
of such fields can be measured by simply holding a compass over/next to
magnetic field emitting household appliances and reading the North, South,
East, West compass variations. Magnetic fields from household appliances
only travel a very slight distance; most-while only a few short centimetres/inches
from their source. So, fortunately almost all such magnetic fields can
be easily avoided by simply either, moving these appliances slightly further
away, or by standing slightly further back from these appliances.
SIESTA
TIME THE TWELVE HOUR CIRCADIAN CYCLE AND PTSD
The human body clock has a 12 hour cycle. This
short rhythm/oscillation (hormonal) cycle repeats/begins again every 12
hours, and is synchronised to the time of day by light.[51,52] The actual
sequence and durations of the 8 phases within this 12 hour cycle are basically
unchanging, unaffected by environmental light, biological, preset (in Homo
sapien RNA), and inherent to the species. However, meals and thus diet
(e.g. civic culture) can override/alter the influence of these 8 phases.
The three states of mind of the 12 hour, 8 phase cycle are: A state, B
state and C state.
Phase 1) From 7:30 until 8:45 the human body
is in a B state.
Phase 2) From 8:45 until 10:10 the human body
is in A state.
Phase 3 )From 10:10 until 11:15 the human body
is in B state.
Phase 4) From 11:15 until 12:30 the human body
is in C state.
Phase 5) From 12:30 until 1:15 the human body
is the B state.
Phase 6) From 1:15 until 3:10 the human body
is in A state.
Phase 7) From 3:10 until 4:15 the human body
is in B state.
Phase 8) From 4:15 until 7:30 the human body
is in C state.
(These times are given/written in standard time,
that is the time ordinary clocks keep/display). (The cycle repeats/begins
again every 12 hours and so is the same during A.M. and P.M.). Whilst in
A state people usually have more stamina, and are at their most relaxed,
content, enduranceful, strong, venturous, fearless, dauntlessness, resilient,
thriving, agreeable, easygoing, and volunteering. (For example, A state
of mind is the most resilient in which to gather food from the wild, if
stranded in an igloo by a blizzard storm). Seldom do people experience
PTSD (symptoms) whilst in A state. From 1:15 until 3:10 (either P.M. or
A.M.) psychological stress is eased. This time of day (i.e. 1:15 until
3:10) is (biologically) preset. This is why for Homo sapien (man)
the dead of night is between 2:30am and 3:00am (i.e. the quietest/most
tranquil). In a city full of people the safest time of day with the most
helpfulness and cooperativeness is during A states; particularly at 2:30pm
or 9:45am. Paradoxically A state of mind is also the most relaxing to be
a sleep during. People with PTSD should be fast asleep between 1:15am until
3:10am or 1:15pm until 3:10pm. For it is - only - during this 1 hour and
45 minute duration that the human mind (whilst asleep) can reprocesses
long chain memories/integrate emotional trauma/'get over' emotional upsets.
(PTSD stressfulness is of long chain neurons[50]). It is critical/crucial
then that people with PTSD sleep during/through 1:15 until 3:10 at least
once every 24 hours. For example, if a person is awake with PTSD insomnia
at 2am in the night they need then to take a siesta from 1:15pm until 3:10pm
the next afternoon to ensure that they have slept during/through 1:15 until
3:10 at least once every 24 hours. Neurosis, and feelings of paranoia can
result if people with PTSD are oft-while awake both night and day (i.e.
awake from 1:15am until 3:10am - and - 1:15pm until 3:10pm). For it is
only during A state of mind that the mind can rest during sleep. B state
of mind is less relaxed than A state. PTSD flashbacks and intrusive thoughts
occur during B state. C state of mind is the most stressful and least content
state. PTSD flashbacks and intrusive thoughts usually occur during C state.
If a person has PTSD it was almost always acquired whilst in C state. Conflict,
and accidents are most likely to occur during C states; particularly when
people move from a B state into a C state at either 11:15 or 4:15. (At
both 11:15 and 4:15 the rate of neuronreception quickly/abruptly slows
down as the mind is in transition from B state into C state). (If the human
body is continuously awake for more that approximately 11 hours then all/any
further C states are experienced as B states until sleep). Sleeping through
1:15am until 3:10am at night and then taking a siesta from 1:15pm until
3:10pm during the day might be therapeutic for chronic delayed stress syndrome/long
term post traumatic stress disorder. For A state is the most restful state
of mind.
EYE
MOVEMENT DESENSITISATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)
Over the 1990's[53] EMDR grew as a physiotherapy
to treat PTSD. However, its therapeutic value is questionable. Is there
a therapeutic neuropathology that can be accessed by emulating the rapid
eye movements of REM sleep when awake ? Can emulating the rapid eye movement
sleep phase when awake reprocess (interconnect) or reduce in length (for
reprocessing) 'long chain' PTSD neuropatterns ? Doubtlessly there are physiotherapies
that are therapeutic for PTSD. However, it is doubtful that EMDR (as such)
can be one way to treat PTSD. The leisure of swimming in warm oceans, rivers,
lakes, etc. is (physio)therapeutic for PTSD (and more so than EMDR).
RECREATIONAL
INTERACTIVE GAMES AND PTSD
There are many leisure/fun activities that people
find relaxing. Some relaxing, leisure activities are passive and other
relaxing, leisure activities are interactive.
Only interactive leisure activities are therapeutic
for PTSD. Passive leisure activities whist relaxing for the duration during
which they are undertaken can not integrate long chain PTSD neurons. Some
examples of passive leisure activities are: watching nature, listening
to music, watching television/DVD/video/cinema, reading books, etc. Some
examples of interactive leisure activities/games are: video games, tennis,
squash ball, and cards, etc. Watching a game of tennis is not therapeutic
for PTSD; however, playing a game of tennis is therapeutic for PTSD. Watching
a game of squash ball on television is not therapeutic for PTSD. However,
playing a game of squash ball is. Just watching fishes swimming around
a pond is not therapeutic for PTSD. However, feeding fish in a pond is.
Watching fish swimming in the ocean is not therapeutic for PTSD; however,
swimming amongst a school of oceanic fishes is. Watching the clouds pass
by (as clouds travel through the sky at a placid pace) can resynchronise
dreaming, psychology and emotions which is very relaxing, but is not particularly
therapeutic for PTSD. The time of day during which to play recreational
interactive games might be crucial to such gaming actually easing the symptoms
of PTSD. For example, playing a video game just before falling asleep might
be therapeutic for PTSD; however, playing a video game many hours before
going to sleep (e.g. in the morning) might not be as therapeutical for
PTSD. Perhaps the time to play recreational interactive games so that they
are therapeutic for PTSD is just before going to sleep. Once/after long
chain neurons have been integrated by recreational interactive gaming they
are then (automatically) reprocessed (reduced in length) during A state
sleep (e.g. whilst fast sleep through 1:15am until 3:10am). There is another
way to integrate long chain PTSD neurons and this is by breathing the fresh
air of a lightening thunder rain storm after which long chain neurons are
also reprocessed (reduced in length) during A state sleep. Playing interactive
games for fun can integrate long chain PTSD neurons and is thus therapeutic
for PTSD. Recreational interactive gaming may seem time wasting and childlike;
however, it is necessary for well being. (As, after snappish/snarling predators
had roamed by, primitive apes resumed gibbering contently whilst playfully
foraging for food with other primitive apes).
INTERACTIVE
LEISURE ACTIVITIES LANGUAGE MUSIC AND TROPICAL WATER AS A PTSD THERAPY
Interactive leisure activities are therapeutic
for PTSD. Interactive leisure activities are more therapeutic (for PTSD)
when played whilst :- (a) speaking/exercising the faculty of spoken language
(e.g. chatting, talking, reciting, etc.): and/or (b) listening to music:
and/or (c) sitting in a pool/bath/tub of warm water. So, some examples
of thus may be:
-Soaking/sitting in a bath of warm water whist
playing a video game, talking/speaking and listening to music.
-Playing water volley ball in a heated pool whilst
listening to music on a ghetto blaster.
-Chatting with swimmers whilst swimming in a
tropical river in the surrounds of a forest.
PTSD
AND COLD WINTER CLIMATES
Winter cold weather (the elements) can have a
very detrimental effect upon PTSD (more so than excessive fatiguing exercise/toil,
and malnutrition/hunger). People with PTSD should avoid getting cold/feeling
cold, and falling into cold phase (i.e. catching a cold). The common cold/cold
phase is a phase of the immune system and can be treated by consuming immunioresetting
plants, e.g. maple sap (Acer rubrum/saccharum/nigrum), (as can also
rheumatoid arthritis, and anaphylactic shock). People with PTSD who live
in a cold temperature climate should consider travelling a great distance
during Autumn/Fall to live with friends who live in a warm/mild temperature
climate. By holidaying during Winter in a shire that is without frost or
snow hazardously cold Winter weather can be avoided. A pillow that is of
the same material/fibre as the blankets, many blankets, a beanie/nightcap,
remaining in doors/in a shelter, keeping dry, and continuously eating nutritious
food that is high in energy (e.g. almonds, garlic, etc.) may avert hypothermia
during very cold weather. Although sleeping on and under many blankets
may prevent hypothermia by keeping body temperature very warm, the ambient
air temperature in a room/shelter should also be kept warm (e.g. by lighting/stoking
a blazing fire in a fireplace/hearth). As the symptoms of PTSD are made
worse by sleeping in an environment that has a cold, chilly ambient air
temperature. Draft (fast travelling breeze) with cold air temperature is
called the 'wind chill factor'. Draft air that is 5 degrees Celsius (41
degrees Fahrenheit) in temperature will breeze at temperatures of less
than 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) upon the face/skin because
the draft is travelling at a speed of 7 metres (7.65 yards) per second.
In a room/shelter through which a cold draft is breezing, the wind chill
factor can be reduced, for example, by moving the bed so the draft is blowing/travelling
first at the foot of the bedcovers/bed spread. A spare blanket can then
be rolled into a bundle and placed upon the bedspread over the chest (below
the neck) of the person in the bed. So the cold draft breezes at and over
the bundle and thus far above the sleeping persons face.
SNOW
BLINDNESS VERY BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND PTSD
Looking at/into very bright sunlight can have
a toilworn, irksome and wearisome affect upon emotional endurance; how,
worsening the symptoms of PTSD.
Very bright sunshine can reflect back from the
surface of snow, the ocean, lakes, etc. to shine up into the eyes of people
who are walking through snowfall, or strolling along the beach. Keeping
under the shade (away from direct sunlight) during the middle of the day
(e.g. from 11am until 3pm) and wearing eye protection (e.g. sunglasses,
sungoggles, a sunvisa, etc.) can prevent snow blindness, and reduce the
brightness of sunshine glare. A week of continuous bed rest may be required
to recover from the immediate effects of snow blindness. People with chronic
delayed stress/long term PTSD should to take precautions so as never to
suffer from/have snow blindness.
KEEPING
ROOM TEMPERATURE AND FOOD COOL
Room temperature can be cooled during hot, dry
weather by hanging very wet clothes/towels/sheets from a line across the
room. In very hot dry weather this can very much cool the air temperature
at night. Food can also be kept cool during hot, dry weather by hanging
a wet cloth next to food (e.g. hanging a damp cloth bag over food).
POST
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND SOURCES OF HEATING
There are different thermoharmonic patterns/sources
of heating: solar (sun), thermal/volcanic spring, bio-warmth, flame, electrically
radiated, microwave, etc. (Heated molecules move in a different pattern
depending upon which energy source they were heated by). In practicality
only electrically radiated heat has a slightly negative affect upon PTSD.
The human body reacts to the freezing cold as though it were injured/bleeding
(e.g. the immuno-cold phase/the common cold). So electrically radiated
warmth is preferable to a cold room. Bio-warmth can be conserved by wearing
two jumpers instead of one. Bio-warmth can be lost to the ground. So bio-warmth
can be conserved by sleeping on blankets as well as beneath blankets. Solar
(sun) warmth is preferable to bio-warmth. Bio-warmth, and thermal spring/volcanic
warmth are each preferable to flame heat. Flame heat is preferable to electrically
radiated heat. Electrically radiated heat is preferable to microwave heat.
(Microwave heat is outside of human evolutionary thermoharmonic parameters;
and thus not recommend as a source of warmth).
DRIED
ALMONDS AS A FUEL FOR HEATING
Almonds are approximately fifty-per-cent fat.[34]
Dried almonds can be burnt as fuel for heating a shelter/room. The water
content of almonds can be reduced by soaking almonds in water for a few
days and then removing the almonds from the water to dry out at room temperature
for approximately a week. Burning dried almonds produces less smoke than
burning wood or nuts.

Dawndaylight is just one kind of nutritional
medicinal treatment to ease symptoms of PTSD. Please do continue to seek
other treatments for your PTSD whilst eating Dawndaylight. Fortunately
these are numerous, for example: the simple, yet effective, PTSD (physio)therapy
of swimming in warm rivers. Please do continue to seek knowledge of PTSD
treatments from databanks (e.g. internet bulletin board services, etc.)
libraries, etc. Dawndaylight might bring some ease to people with other
neuroses of some similar symptomatology to PTSD; however, it was not developed
for this purpose. Dawndaylight is a medicinal treatment for PTSD and was
not designed for other any use.
Warning: Dawndaylight may suppress food appetite
and feelings of thirst when the body is actually hungry or thirsty (in
critical need of nutrition).
There are well over two hundred thousand fruit
earing plant species on earth[38], so many of which could be medicinal
for PTSD. Dawndaylight can, of course, be very much improved upon or made
redundant by other newer medicinal treatments that take up all number of
the two hundred thousand or so fruit earing plant species.[17,18,22,54,55,56]
Date palm fruit, cucumber, and cauliflower eaten
can each reduce blood pressure.
Green capsicum vegetable (Capsicum annuum
var. annuum) is also called green sweet chile pepper. Green capsicum
vegetable is the fruit of the green capsicum plant (Solanaceae Capsicum
annuum var. annuum).
Attention: the juice of green capsicum vegetable,
like garlic or onion (Allium cepa) should be kept away from the eyes.
Eating sucrose (sugar) is unlikely to increase
blood sugar levels[57] as blood sugars are glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate.[31]
These are slightly different sugars to the sucrose in sugar beet roots
and sugarcane.[57] Discontinuing daily intake of hulled (without a hull)
ground spelt seeds and sucrose may cause reoccurrence of PTSD symptoms.
Discontinuing daily intake of disaccharides sugar (sucrose) (Saccharum
officinarum) may cause depression or anxiety. If you reduce your daily
intake of disaccharides sugar (sucrose) do so slowly and gradually. Attention:
raw and white sugars are over processed. WARNING: these raw/white
cooked sugars eaten in excessively high dietary amounts may cause
ill-heath, addiction and dependency.[58] Fresh uncooked sugarcane juice
or sugar beet roots are preferable to cooked white or raw (brown) sugar.
Non-organic (non bio-dynamic) or non-home garden grown processed white/raw
sugar (pesticide containing) can cause bone weakness. Pesticide residues
might disrupt calcium deposit regulating hormones in the body.[59] Attention:
processed (cooked) raw brown sugar, and heated date palm fruit can cause
tooth decay. However, fresh bio-dynamic sugarcane juice or bio-dynamic
sugar beet roots are preferable to processed raw sugar. Only home garden
grown or verified organic/bio-dynamic sugar (or sucrose plants) are recommended
for Dawndaylight use. Fresh plants are preferable. Aspartame is an artificial
sweetener.[34,60] Avoid aspartame as it may be toxic.[60] I don't recommend
consuming artificial sweeteners. The maple tree is only found in North
America.[34] The saps of at least three maple tree species are 4%-6% sucrose[31,34]
which is a disaccharide sugar. These three species are: the red maple tree
Acer rubrum, the sugar maple tree Acer saccharum and the
black maple Acer nigrum.[34] Native North American Indians collected
the saps of these three trees[31,34] by cutting into the bark.[34] They
then condensed the collected saps, sometimes by freezing them to remove
their iced water content.[34] The native Indians used the sap (maple syrup)
for food, and as medicine.[34] Bee honey is 5% sucrose sugar.[34] Maple
sap is preferable to honey. Honey, and maple sap are preferable to maple
syrup, and dried fruits (e.g. dates, prune varieties, etc.). Dried fruits
are preferable to heated maple syrup. Honey, maple sap, maple syrup, and
dried fruits (e.g. dates, prune varieties, etc.) are preferable to raw
white/brown sugar. However, honey, and maple syrup can only be eaten in
small quantities and contain all number of other (non-PTSD) medicinal phytonutrients.
Attention: eating more than approximately five teaspoons a day of
honey can cause people to feel very tired and annoyed[61], as can eating
too much maple syrup. Higher quantities of sucrose than this are required
for Dawndaylight use. So, while honey and maple syrup are preferable to
raw brown sugar, they can only be a small amount of the total daily sucrose
eaten in Dawndaylight. For example, during a flood season of sugarcane
crop failure, total daily (Dawndaylight) sucrose could be from small amounts
of honey, and maple syrup, but mostly from dried fruits (e.g. dates, bananas,
etc.) or perhaps plum jam. Uncooked sugarcane juice, sugar beet roots,
pineapples, bananas, date fruits, and sweetsops - all fresh - are preferable
to raw brown sugar, honey, dried fruits, and maple syrup. Do not feed honey
to a baby who is under one year old (as babies under one year are too little
to digest honey).[27] Boiled maple sap can cause tooth decay. Bee honey
eaten is very medicinal for combat stress (e.g. emergency medicine). However,
raw bee honey eaten can cause atherosclerosis. So raw bee honey cannot
be eaten as a long term PTSD medicinal treatment. (Bee honey is also an
antibiotic that can be applied to infected graze wounds after they are
washed clean with oceanwater and cabbage juice). (Oceanwater, and cabbage
juice are each antibiotics as are oat seeds/grain, and the element silver/Ag).
For Dawndaylight eating single sugar monosaccharides e.g. glucose, fructose,
galactose, and mannose cannot be used instead of the disaccharides sugar
sucrose. Pineapple can basically only be eaten every 3 days, as pineapple
eaten daily causes temporary fatigue. More than approximately 1 teaspoon
of cinnamon (a sucrose herb) eaten daily can cause side effects. (If eaten
with spelt) the same species of sucrose plant can only be eaten every 3
days. For example: pineapple eaten one day, apple eaten the next day and
then cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) eaten the day after apple. The
same species of sucrose plant eaten with spelt everyday is contraindicative
for PTSD. Technically the human eye is of the brain.[31] Fire light, and
bioluminescence cannot replace sunlight as sunlight varies throughout the
day e.g. by cloud formation (overcasting) the brightness of sunup to dusk,
etc.[44] Humans need sunlight for growth and development.[44] Many egg
farmers[62] - including some organic farmers - 'wash' chicken eggs in chlorine
(sodium hypochlorite) before sale. Chlorine is toxic.[37] Bio-dynamic eggs
are not washed in toxic chemicals, thus their shells remain edible. The
human body needs approximately 800-1200 milligrams[37] of calcium (Ca)
per day. However, this uptake is possibly throughout a 24 hour period.
One example might be the eating of (at least) 400 milligrams (Ca) during
breakfast, (at least) 400 milligrams (Ca) during lunch and (at least) 400
milligrams (Ca) during dinner. Condensed protein foods[37], and egg whites
do cause some body calcium loss. If egg whites (albumen), and yolks are
eaten then more dietary calcium should be consumed. Raw egg whites (albumen)
and raw egg yolks (of the avian family Phasianidae) eaten can each cause
atherosclerosis. Cold sores (herpes simplex virus) are made worse
by the phytochemical arginine. High amounts of arginine occur in nuts[17,63],
sunflower seeds[17], and soybean seeds.[17] People with cold sores (herpes
simplex virus) should leave nuts, sunflower seeds, and soybean seeds
out of their diet.[63] Unless they're taking numerous specific phytotherapeutic
anti-virals, such as European elderberry (Adoxaceae Sambucus nigra)
fruit[17,18] or citrus (Rutaceae Citrus) fruit seeds[64], peels[17,18],
rinds[17,18] and juice[17,18], etc. Wheat grain (Triticum aestivum)
or sprouting wheat seedlings cannot replace spelt in Dawndaylight. Grains
have only been farmed for the past 10,000 years[34,65] and so until then
they were probably not eaten by humans in great quantity. If excessive
grain is eaten then reduced health may occur in some people, e.g. an allergic
reaction to gluten, etc.[29] Spelt contains more gluten than wheat.[16]
If you have celiac disease (difficulty metabolising gluten) then consult
a healthcarer before eating spelt. Dawndaylight might be toxic to people
who have ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). I don't recommend people
with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) use Dawndaylight.[60] Banksia
(genus Banksia) flower nectar (i.e. a banksia flower soaked in cold
water for approximately 16 hours to make a nectar drink) is slightly medicinal
for PTSD. (However, banksia nectar is not as medicinal for PTSD as spelt
or almonds).
The
soporiferous influence of pear fruit (Pyrus communis) affects for
many hours, so only small amounts of pear fruit (~25 grams) should be eaten
nightly.
Warning: pear fruit (Pyrus communis) shouldn't
be eaten by people who are fatigued, exhausted, morning, grieving, upset
or in any way feeling depressed.
Warning:
lettuce (Compositae Lactuca) shouldn't be eaten in soporiferous
amounts by people who are morning, grieving or in any way feeling depressed.
Lettuce eaten in too high amounts (overdose)
can (temporarily) cause feelings of sadness, despair, indifference and
neglectfulness. Attention: lettuce eaten reduces sex drive (sexual urge
or desire).[27,34]
Less cultivated,
bitter tasting lettuces, like wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) contain
higher concentrations of sedatives than common varieties[27,28] as perhaps
do heirloom peach (Prunus sub species) fruits.[27,28,36] How, much
less amounts of heirloom, and wild varieties can be eaten for a similar
sleepiness. These less cultivated varieties[30] are preferred by people
who have been eating PTSD medicinals for decades - for whom overdosing
is improbable - and who have a busy work schedule. As they can nibble on
a light heirloom variety snack instead of suppering on a larger meal (for
similar medicinal effect).
Warning: wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa)
should only be used under healthcarer supervision in very precise and understood
amounts; as an overdose of wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) can cause
death by heart paralysis (stopping the heart).[54]
Warning: keep wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa)
out of reach of children.
The common (garden) variety of lettuce (Lactuca
sativa) is a safe alternative as this common lettuce (Lactuca
sativa) is too mild to practically cause any harm in overdose.
Passionflower
vines, and peach leaves were used by native medicine men and ladies in
historical cultural contexts.[28] They knew, understood and administered
very exact, very careful, precision dosage amounts.
Warning: don't self medicate with the bark, leaves
and flowers of fruit vines or trees. In this web site I'm not recommending
the use of leaves, bark or flowers from fruit trees or fruit vines.
Danger: only use the leaves, flowers,
and bark of fruit trees or fruit vines under very close healthcarer supervision
at very precise and understood doses. Harmful overdose on the leaves, flowers,
and bark of fruit trees or fruit vines is quite possible; they can be poisonous
even in smaller concentrations. Passion fruits, and peach fruits are mild
to eat - but their bark, flowers, and leaves can be toxically potent or
terminal.[27]
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers contain
lithium[17] and a sedative called diazepam.[17] Thus potatoes eaten can
bring about restfulness. However, potatoes are too contraindicative to
be medicinal for PTSD. Since diazepam also causes side effects such as
fatigue, chills (reduced body temperature) exhaustion and CNS (central
nervous system) depression. High concentrations of the aldehydes citral
and neural occur in lime fruit (Citrus aurantifolia/latifolia).
However, these alcohol phytochemicals in lime concentrations might reduce
wits, cause dopiness and affect clarity of thought. Oats (Avena sativa)
eaten cause temporary fatigue and contain Benzaldehyde[17] which is an
alcohol phytochemical. However, it might be possible to reduce the alcohol
affect of oats by eating olives (Olea europaea var. europaea[66])
and pineapple. Plums, apples, grapes, oranges (Citrus sinensis),
cabbage, barley grain (Hordeum vulgare), and garlic cloves eaten
might each be detoxifying foods/herb-foods. (Carrot, and small amounts
of mashed seaweed eaten can treat radiation sickness). (Oceanwater, a detoxicant,
can be sipped to treat heavy metal[17] illnesses). Spelt eaten within approximately
24 hours of Allium plants (e.g. garlic) basically causes temporary
fatigue. Spelt that is uncooked direct from the crop is preferable to any
heating or cooking. Spelt breads that have been baked at common bread temperature
and duration (e.g. 350oF/175oC for 30 minutes) are
probably ineffective for Dawndaylight use. I don't recommend MSG (monosodium
glutamate). MSG is also called hydrolysed vegetable protein, vegetable
protein, hydrolysed plant protein, caseinate, yeast extract or natural
flavouring. MSG is unnaturally overly concentrated. MSG might be neurotoxic.[60]
Avoid MSG. Some farmers of date palm fruit heat dates with steam or hot
water before sale.[67] Be aware that some date palm fruits are overheated
to ripen them hastily for sale. (Macadamia nuts are not a Dawndaylight
food) almost all hulled (hull-pared/without a hull) commercial macadamia
nuts are overheated during processing. Fifty-per-cent to sixty-per-cent
of the phytonutrients in plants (e.g. vasodilators, etc.)[17,18] are burnt
off by cooking temperatures of at least 63oC (145.4oF)[68]
and any remaining phytonutrients are less effective.[68] "Cold-pressed
oil" is oil that has actually been heated (during processing) to temperatures
as hot as 77oC (170.6oF).[34] So 'cold-pressed oils'
e.g. sunflower oil, sesame seed oil, almond oil, olive oil, etc. have been
thermally denaturised of medicinal phytonutrients.[68] As these have been
smelted to inactivity (ineffect) by heat.[68] Thus most 'cold-pressed oils'
are not medicinal for PTSD. Hominids have been walking the earth for (at
least) the past four million years.[69] About 2,400,000 years ago the first
stone tools were made.[69] However, hominids only developed mastery of
fire for cooking some 2,200,000 years after the first stone tools.[69]
So, it has been only during the past 200,000 years[69] that most of mankind
began to eat cooked food. Humans evolved eating uncooked food.[69,70] Cooking
changes the co-evolved conformer (shape) of food molecules.[68,69,70,71,72]
(As does the freezing of food, and the too lower temperature refrigeration
of food). Cooked food particles in the blood stream are detected by the
human immune response as (non-evolutionary) pathogens and so enfoamed (through
leukocytosis[70]) by macrophage cells.[70,71] This is particularly so of
cooked saturated animal fat. Thus, cooked fats are hardened (solidified)
in the blood stream by the immune system, how clogging (blocking) arteries.[71,73]
A genesis of traumatic stress disorder is in arterial constriction and
dilatation.[2] To maintain optimal arterial health people who have PTSD
should avoid eating any of the following :- (a) food that has been cooked:
or (b) food that has been frozen: or (c) food that has been refrigerated
at too low a temperature. Atherosclerosis (fatty calcified macrophagic
plaque deposits upon the inside of arterial walls) can be removed (reversed)
by the eating of grape (Vitis vinifera) seeds[73], raw cabbage (Brassica
oleracea var. capitata) leaves[17,18,73], and cherry fruit (Prunus
avium). As well effective are nasturtium vine nodes - eaten with -
nasturtium vine internodes, nasturtium flowers, nasturtium stems, nasturtium
leaves, carrot and silverbeet (Beta vulgaris Cicla Group). Arteriosclerosis
(blood clots, thrombi, and deep-vein thrombosis) can be cured (healed)
by eating raw garlic (Allium sativum)[74] or a fruit salad of rhubarb
(Rheum rhabarbarum/rhaponticum)[17,18,54,66], pineapple[17,18,66]
and apples.[17,18,66] A meal of chives (Allium schoenoprasum/tuberosum)
and onion bulb (being botanically similar to garlic) is also effective.[68]
All the Dawndaylight plants are best eaten fresh and unheated[68,72] -
just as they are in nature - fruit, vegetables, and grain; direct from
the crop. Avoid eating genetically engineered (technologically modified)
plants e.g. GM Soybeans. Oft-while these foods have had their gene sequences
so altered outside of evolutionary parameters that they could be toxic
to humans.[75] Dawndaylight was developed and designed for long-term, civil
use in the support of people who continue to experience (PTSD) emotional
anguish years after a trauma has far past. Dawndaylight
was not designed to provide psychological calmness and coolness to any
soldier battlefield requirement standard.[2] Dawndaylight was not designed
to comply (in accordance) with any cerebration armour (ceb's) specification.
Dawndaylight will not prevent vasoconstriction to any battlefield requirement
standard.[2] Nor will it prevent sympathetic nervous system activation
to any battlefield requirement standard.[2] Dawndaylight will not activate
parasympathetic homeostasis to any battlefield requirement standard.[2]
Dawndaylight cannot enhance physical survivability. Any physical survivability
it may give, if any, would be non-significant. Dawndaylight was not designed
to protect against environmental, operational or occupational dangers/stresses
such as toxic hazards, communicable diseases, carcinogens, radiation, explosives,
heat, acoustic energy, mechanical hazards, electrical hazards, etc.
