May the Most High lavishly bless us with miracles of healing of hearts and minds, bodies and souls, circumstances and happenstances, all working out for good in our awe of His mercy and calling upon the life He gave us.

Say, "Amen!" somebody.

Dr. Dean Reeves has a nice tutorial on a type of nerve transmission mediated by a protein on the nerve receptor that can turn rogue and propagate pain and tissue degradation. When this type of nerve experiences pressure all around it, it tends to turn rogue. Swelling is just such a pressure, eh? So now it's not only going to hurt it's going to degrade the nearest tissue, like a lion trying to gnaw its paw off to release itself from a trap. That disk degrades. Connective tissue weakens. This becomes a cycle in need of breaking, not aggravating with further assaults.

So the dessicating monosaccharide, the simple sugar mannitol, is brought in as a topical transdermal that baffles this pain/degradation response. Dextrose injections are given via real-time sonogram. These shift fluid balances, stop nerve-to-nerve propagation cascades, and are likely to have some curious regulatory effects. Mannitol, for example, has been found to slow the propagation of nerve-deranging proteins implicated in Parkinson's. Mannitol also opens the blood-brain barrier gates, so beware as one does not wish to introduce toxins into one's noodle. De-tox. These simple sugars may induce a kind of handy protein degradation, a targeted glycation, that tells these nerve receptor proteins to chillax.

Enzymes that will help denature what are trash [nerve receptor] proteins, like those found in papaya (meat tenderizer) and pineapple (fresh enzyme-active pineapple melts gelatin so canned is used therefore avoid canned...) are used by athletes to shorten injury rebound and healing. Do this thing!
