Arachidonic acid is a feature of the opioid neuroinhibition of the central
nervous system. I assume that the extra nerve excitation and biophoton flow in
the central nervous system would create arachidonic acid which might then be
converted to anandamide for neuroinhibition. It is this kind of chemistry we must
scientifically work out, if we are to become more “lucid” with kundalini rather
than merely “stoned out” on our own energy!!
“The periaqueductal grey region (PAG) is a major anatomical locus for opioid
activation of descending inhibitory pathways to the spinal cord and is thus an important
site for m-receptor-induced analgesia. Opioids do not excite descending fibers directly
but disinhibit them by inhibiting spontaneous GABA release from local GABAergic
interneurones.” http://opioids.com/receptors/index.html
Cocaine bingeing blocks dopamine reabsorption by nerve cells, and may alter
levels of dynorphin-A, a natural opioid. Dynorphine-A also seems to affect dopamine
levels. A drug that mimics dynorphine-A may help treat cocaine addiction and
researchers have discovered a peptide called E-2078 that creates steady blood levels
of dopamine, instead of the ups and downs of cocaine. Dopamine is an important
brain chemical for motor functions and general arousal. Dopamine is made from the
amino acid tyrosine, and can be converted into norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Dopamine is also involved in the ability to learn and encoding of stimuli, reward,
and addiction. Dopamine enhancing herbs such as ginseng, nettles, red clover,
fenugreek, dandelion, catuaba, peppermint and Mucuna pruriens might also help
those suffering from an extreme version of kundalini burnout, by reinstating the
dynorphine and dopamine activity in the brain. Fish oil also reinstates dopamine
levels and receptor sensitivity. The amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, along
with the nutrient NADH and some of the B vitamins, influence the production
of dopamine. CoQ10 protects dopamine producing neurons. Banana peel
contains the richest source of dopamine at 700 mg/g, while the pulp has much less
at 10 mg/g.
eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from omega-3 or omega-6
fatty acids. They exert complex control over many bodily systems, especially in
inflammation, immunity and as messengers in the central nervous system. One
neurologist says that the arachidonic acid cascade is arguably the most elaborate
neurological signaling system. Barry Sears emphasizes that eicosanoids are
superhormones, the most powerful biological agents known to man, that control
virtually every metabolic function. “Not only do the eicosanoids control all of the
body’s hormonal systems, they control virtually every vital physiological function: the
cardiovascular system, the immune system, the central nervous system, the reproductive
system, and so on.”32, Enter the Zone, Barry Sears, PhD.
During its short lifespan, free arachidonic acid may affect the activity
of the neuron’s ion channels and protein kinases. Or it may be metabolized
to form eicosanoids, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, neuroprotectin D or various
endocannabinoids (anandamide and its analogs.) Anandamide is a recently
discovered messenger molecule that plays a role in pain, depression, appetite,
memory, and fertility. The bliss messenger molecule found in chocolate
