New mind-altering drug capable of literally modifying your memories

(NaturalNews) Changing bad memories into good ones could be just a pill away, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism . Researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada say that metyrapone, a drug that blocks the “stress hormone” cortisol, also appears to alter patients’ memories and minimizing their recollection of negative events — but is this actually a good thing? For their study, Marie-France Marin and her team evaluated the effects of metyrapone on a group of young men shown a slide show that documented the serious injury of a young girl. In it, the girl is building a birdhouse with her grandparents until a serious accident lands her in the emergency room. In the end, the girl is okay, but the details of her injury involve lots of blood and other disturbing imagery. Three days after viewing the images of this story, the team gave either a single 750 milligram (mg) dose of metyrapone, a double dose, or a placebo pill to the men in the group. None of the men knew which pill they received. The team then asked the men to retell the story of the girl as they recalled it, both right after receiving the pill, and again four days after taking the pills. The team found that the men who took the double dose of meyrapone remembered far less of the negative imagery than did the men taking the single or placebo dose. Men in the placebo group scored between 40 and 50 percent in their negative imagery memory test, while men who took the double dose of metyrapone scored around 30 percent. In explaining these results to Reuters Health, Marin and her team expressed their belief that because metyrapone artificially lowers cortisol levels, it interferes with the way the brain stores memories. These alterations appear to remove the emotional aspects from negative memories that give them a basis in reality, thus changing actual reality into a type of artificial fantasy world.

Enjoy the Benefits of Hot and Cold Water Therapy

(NaturalNews) Hot and cold baths have been used for centuries and some of the benefits they bring include: increased energy, increased circulation, detoxification, and the clearing of negative energy. An easy way to replicate the spa experience of alternating hot and cold baths, and the primal experience of jumping from hot springs to cold rivers, is to simply alternate hot and cold water in your shower. Most of us are quite accustomed to warm showers and even the idea of introducing cold water can be intimidating. But once you’ve done it for yourself, you’ll see it’s really not that bad. Actually, you’ll probably find it’s quite invigorating. It’s best to start with hot and after a few minutes to use a blast of cold for a minute. Then use hot water again, repeat several times, and end your shower when you’re ready. The hot should be hot and the cold should be cold – in fact, as long as you’re not scalding yourself: the hotter the better and the colder the better. This can be done daily, but if you’re clearing a negative energy dump or if you need more powerful detoxification, it can be done several times a day. The extremes of hot and cold water cause your muscles to expand and contract which offers gentle detoxification as toxins are squeezed from your muscles. It also improves circulation and the benefits of improved circulation shouldn’t be underestimated. When your body has poor circulation, it’s impeded in delivering fresh blood to all areas of the body. As a result, the body can’t cleanse the blocked and stagnant areas regularly – and toxins, filth and disease accumulate in these oxygen and fresh blood deprived areas. This is regularly seen with cancers and tumors which are really just clumps of fungus and filth that the body was unable to remove. They develop to contain the waste that couldn’t be removed because our detoxification systems are frequently overwhelmed due to the large amounts of chemicals and improper foods that most people take in daily – and also because poor circulation prevents regular cleansing. Cold water, it should be noted, holds a magic of its own. Cold water has more oxygen in it than hot water, and therefore has an alkalizing and detoxifying effect. Plus, cold water is known to wipe away negative energy from our bodies. And there’s a negative energy component to most disease – particularly where cancers or tumors are located. Using cold water can help remove the energy that’s binding the filth in certain locations and when that energy is gone, the filth can more easily be moved out of your body – where it truly belongs. Sea salts and ocean swimming also remove negative energy, which may be the reason many beach oriented cultures have reputations for being laid back. Plus, if you can release the negative energy when it’s produced, there’s a much slimmer chance that it will be stored in your body and come back to haunt you, either as a disease or an emotional trigger. To clear negative energy, another technique is to hold a couple teaspoons of quality sea salts in the palms of each hand for a few minutes to absorb the energy if it returns after your shower. Negative energy is released through the palms of our hands and in this manner, the salts can absorb the energy from you. After the salts have absorbed your negative energy, let them sit in the sun for a day or two to regain their purity. People with heart problems, the elderly, and infirm may want to forgo extremely cold waters.
