DECENTRALIZED MEDICINE #10: IMPROVING SEXUAL SATIFACTION, FERTILITY, & BREAST CANCER

Today is August 20th and we should have a full moon. This is a good day to improve your sex life. Why? Bright light and melanin is the answer.

It is estimated that up to one quarter of men have a low sex drive – defined as lack of interest in sex. Anxiety, stress, depression, and other psychological factors ARE correlated to low sexual desire in men, as well as a reduction in the male sex hormone testosterone. Anxiety, stress, and depression are all linked to lowered dopamine and melanoton levels. There is a deep reason lowered sexual function happens in simulataneously in humans.

Recent studies have found early morning exposure to bright light for just 14 days increased men’s testosterone levels, enhancing their sexual satisfaction.

The use of light therapy to improve sexuaL FUNCTION dates back to ancient civilizations, going as far back as the ancient Egyptians and Indians, who used sunlight (heliotherapy) for SEXUAL PERFORMANCE, healing and promoting health. The therapeutic use of light energy was more fully appreciated in the late 19th century when a Danish physician-scientist, Niels Ryberg Finsen, demonstrated the benefits of red and blue light in the treatment of lupus vulgaris and was recognized with the 1903 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology. When these people were treated by Finsen he also reported these people also reported improvement in sexual function with increased desires for sex.

Seasonality has been shown to have a significant influence on sexual function by the increasing mitochondrial function in the central retinal pathways and in the pineal tracts. We know that the pineal gland in humans plays a key role in the neuroendocrine control of sexual activity. The retinohypothalamic tract carries information on the cycles light/dark to the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus that projects to the pineal gland and inhibits the production of melatonin. It also reduces the production of endogenosu melanin in these regions and this decreases the number of electrons liberated from water in CSF. When the number of electrons decreases, less light can be absorbed to be used in our semiconductive pathways in CNS in these regions. When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released normally.

UV light stimulates mitochondrial production of melatonin. Melatonin increases the secretion of prolactin, which contributes to sexual dysfunction in humans. AM sunlight inhibits the pineal gland tracts and this decreases blood plasma levels of melatonin.

This activity shows us that the sun and light treatment favorably affect sexual function in humans by reducing plasma levels of melatonin.

The abscopal effects of light on the skin can also augment sexual function.

In 1960, the L.A.S.E.R. (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) by Theodore Maiman was invented, based on theoretical work by Albert Einstein in 1917. This brought renewed attention to the therapeutic light energy field. The monochromatic, coherent, and collimated nature of lasers led to immediate interest in their biologic effects. In 1967, Endre Mester, a Hungarian physician-scientist, reported that low-dose laser treatments were capable of promoting wound healing and hair regrowth in mice. Both of these were related to melanin actions water to liberate electrons. Once the electrons are free the light can excite them and the body can use them to repair itself. He termed this phenomenon photostimulation and went on to demonstrate the efficacy of this treatment in human patients with skin ulcers. Many scientists, like Fritz Hollwich (book above) have noted that improvement in pituatary hormones with light therapy.

Men really respond to sunlight quickly. Many men are using drugs to improve sexual function and these drugs liberate nitric oxide in their sex organs as their main mechanism of action. You should be reminded that NO is stimulated by UV light exposure. This explains how UV light improves sexual function. The increased levels of testosterone explain the greater reported sexual satisfaction. In the Northern hemisphere, the body’s testosterone production naturally declines from November through April, and then rises steadily through the spring and summer with a peak in October. You see the effect of this in reproductive rates, with the month of June showing the highest rate of conception. The use of the artificial chronotherapy can really mimics what nature does.

THE MOON REFLECTS BRIGHT LIGHT AND THIS ALSO LINKS TO SEXUAL FUNCTION

Full moon happens on August 20th. Do you know what this means? In Latin, the word menstruation (or menses) and the word moon are linked. Perhaps it is an accident of nature or just pure coincidence that the moon takes almost 28 days to revolve around the earth, the same length of time most women have in their menstrual cycle. The study of anthropology has examined the tendency in traditional societies for women to ovulate when the moon is full and to have their period when the new moon has evolved. A lack of light source at night and reliance on the moon as a primary source of illumination is thought to be an important factor sexual desire and function. Bright light from the moon’s reflection stimulates LH surge which induces ovulation and sexual appetite. Women want sex when the moon is full due to the LH surge.

Melatonin peaks in women when they are having a period and is at its lowest point when they have ovulated. Melatonin also helps Luteinizing Hormone to be produced in the luteal phase and works with progesterone in raising a woman’s temperature. When you raise your temperature melanin acts to become a better electrical conductor. This would make sense in a pending pregnancy. It is also helpful in promoting the ovarian follicle to maturity and helps to do the same with sperm.

IT IS NOT JUST A MALE STORY: FEMALE SEXUAL DESIRE AND FUNCTION IMPROVE WITH SUNLIGHT TOO.  

Heliotherapy helps treat women with low sexual desire and poor orgasm function because of the surge in LH. LH levels quickly rise just before ovulation. Men can smell women's fertile phase when melanin is optimized in their olfatory tracts. This happens when their head and neck gets proper solar exposure. Normally, LH triggers ovulation in women. Lack of sun is behind many cases of modern female infertility cases.

A long-held centralized belief among anthropologists is that there's no way to tell exactly when a human female is ovulating. Decentralized science now knows this is not true. Men were built to smell the LH surge of women because Mother Nature wants men who are seeking a mate to catch her in her fertile phase. Our olfactory cortex is paleocortex loaded with melanosomes so that massive amounts of electrons can be liberated in the olfactory nerve to improve the sense of smell. This cranial nerve only three layers and it's physiologic ability is sensitized by the sun to make melanin. This charge separates water to make electrons, hydrogen and water. This would offer males the ability to know when the best time to reproduce. It turns out ovulation is a time that corresponds to when a woman enjoys sex the most as well.

In contrast to men whose every ejaculation during intercourse has the potential to result in pregnancy, conception for women is highly dependent on the ovulatory cycle because they are fertile only during the short period of time before and after ovulation. Ovulating women experience increased sexual desire, which manifests as physiological, cognitive, and behavioral responses (Gangestad et al., 2005). This phenomenon occurs because increased sexual behavior during the fertile window, which resembles the estrus of other female primates.

External signs in the skin predict sexual dysfunction. When skin cells responsible for pigmentation are exposed to estrogen or progesterone, the cells respond by adjusting their melanin production, resulting in either skin darkening or lightening. Although pregnant women often experience alterations in skin pigmentation, the reason for the changes has long puzzled physicians. Decentralized clinicians are no longer puzzled. Human females need a way to create more electrons when they are creating a child. This is why melanin & progesteron are upregulated. Progesterone increases water retention in women and melanin is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen while liberatiing massive amounts of electrons for the developing embryo.

LH CAUSES A RISE IN ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE IN WOMEN

UV light in the sun stimulates the translation of alpha MSH in POMC. It turns out sunlight also stimulates LH to cause the upregulation of estrogen and progesterone. This the same signaling cascade stimulated by MSH via POMC. Human melanocytes express a separate, non-classical, estrogen receptor, called GPER, as well as a non-classical progesterone receptor, PAQR7. Neither receptor has been well studied in melanocytes. Soon you will see data that shows that sunlight can abolished the estrogen and progesterone effects by deleting these receptors. This will show that these relatively unknown sex steroid receptors are responsible for the skin pigment effects of melanin in pregnancy. HYPERLINK

The association between pregnancy and altered cutaneous pigmentation has been documented for over two millennia in humans. This has suggested that sex hormones play a role in regulating epidermal melanocyte homeostasis in fecundity. This makes sense when you understand that leptin controls fecundity, and leptin controls the circadian biology of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

UV LIGHT TURNS OFF SEX STEROID PRODUCTION AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THESE FINDINGS

Human melanocytes that are exposed to higher estrogen levels after the LH pulse respond by increasing melanin production. Even the synthetic variant of estrogen called ethinyl estradiol, commonly used in birth control pills, has a similar effect on women. The slide shows this effect.

Did you know that tamoxifen, used in breast cancer treatment, which blocks estrogen effects in cells, also darkens the skin. This is why it really helps in breast cancer cases. It is the melanin upregulation that increases its anticancer effect. You'll never hear this from a centralized oncologist. After four days of tamoxifen treatment, the melanin content of the cells increased 200 to 300 percent. I learned about this side effect when my sister in law took the drug and I researced the effect it had on her skin and hair. Her grey hair vanished while she was on the drug and her skin darkened while she took the drug. This side effect of tamoxifen use represent a significant tanning response in the skin. Melanin’s light-absorbing properties allow it to absorb much of the UV radiation in sunlight and this increases electrons to heal the cancer and deuterim depleted hydrogen as an anti-tumor effect. There were other key effects I learned about tamoxifen as well. For example, tamoxifen induces the gene expression of catalase in melanocytes. This points decentralized clinicans towards the idea that the drug induces a promelanogenic effect mediated by ROS (hydrogen peroxide).

Catalase is a common heme based enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. All heme based chemicals are destroyed by blue light exposure. Catalse catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide  (H2O2) to water and oxygen. This makes sense because tamoxifen would simulataneously tan our skin and create more water to liberate more electrons to cure the cancerous state in the breast. It should be obvious to you why I made the slide below now.

In many tissues, when melanocytes were exposed to progesterone, melanin production decreased, causing skin to lighten. This points out why circadian mismatch of sex steroid hormones is often associated with cases of vitilgo. The use of progesterone by itself by many centralized antiaging doctors and probably is not a good idea when you realize it degrades melanin. It seems progesterone and melanin were designed to work in unison by Nature when women become pregnant. When they are light mismatched they work to harm women.

In women, pale skin, low NO levels, & low Vitamin D levels high correlate to poor sexual function, infertility and inadequate sexual satisfaction. Solar exposure increases LH production and melanin translation as a result of bright solar exposure. It is now well established that low LH is associated to low libido in women.

Solar light inhibits the pineal gland in the center of the brain and this allows for the production of more testosterone. There are many other positive hormonal effects associated with melanin production and solar exposure. We see this effect in triple negative breast cancers. This is one of the most deadly cancers women get in our modern world. Light therapy works awesome because it stimulates melanin production from POMC.

Our life becomes full when dawn comes to our shore. The secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart so it can energize and rejuvenate our mind and our sex lives.

The use of sunlight to improve sexual function can replaces the need for BigHarma medications. This lowers costs and comes with fewer side effects. These are massive goals in decentralized medicine in El Salvador. Just look at the effect UV light exposure has on breast cancer mortality. No one is telling women this but me.

Behavior precedes beneficial beliefs when it comes to solar therapy. Change requires a good beginning. that beginning must be sunrise. Beginnings are subject to implementation. Implementation precedes buy in and is hidden in passion of every renegade. When you make choices and you don’t implement them, your ideas may be the best ever, but they become the area most useless in your life. Ideation, without execution leads to deletion of all good ideas. So it is with SEX and the hormones associated with it.
