Understanding the Value of the Human Body: A 7 Trillion Dollar Perspective

A close-up of a gorilla with dark fur, looking slightly to the side against a light, neutral background. The gorilla’s expression appears calm and contemplative.

When we are born, we don’t receive a manual for what M.I.T. Scientists now calculate is the worth of a human body; 7 trillion dollars.  That is based upon how many hormones your glands can produce over a life time and what they could be sold for.

The following is what I sometimes share with patients, when they seem interested.  Since I usually perform emergency pain relief work, not too many people have asked me for the secret to life.  You’re about to discover a few things that I have never heard a medical doctor discuss and probably no medical doctor has ever heard it discussed.

To better understand how a 7 trillion-dollar machine works we should do a bit of reverse engineering.  When are we considered dead?  When we’re brain dead.  So, life comes out of our brains and travels down the other 20% of our central nervous system the spinal cord and tells all of our cells what to do.  The spinal cord is protected by spinal bones and the facet joints that are formed by those bones are innervated with the fastest, largest, most powerful nerves in our bodies. 

The human brain needs constant stimulus and there is only one on earth.  It is not always light out, not always music playing, but there is always gravity.  Those big fast nerves in our spinal joints transduce the force of gravity into electrical signals and they charge up your battery aka brain.

While only 20% of the brain is in the spine, 90% of what goes into your brain, which is considered stimulus, comes from those heavily innervated spinal joints.  Only 10% is coming in from your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.  That is just the way our brain is mapped.

I’m going to make the laws of energy also known as thermodynamics very easy because it will give you a greater appreciation for your 7 trillion-dollar machine.  We are composed of about 1 trillion cells.  About 36% of those trillion cells is of your DNA.  Your hair, nails, skin, liver cells, heart cells, etc. is your DNA.  The other 64% is something else’s DNA.  That something else is bacteria that make up your microbiome, which is mostly in your gut. 

It takes a lot of energy to keep 1 trillion cells in line and acting like you instead of 1 trillion amoebas.  That energy comes from your brain.  When your brain stops working you are considered brain dead and when we’re dead those trillion cells return to the earth as dust.  The miracle is that while we’re alive, while the brain is absorbing energy from gravity, those trillion cells manage to perform all those things us humans like to do.

One of those things some people do is Yoga and those people don’t call me a whole lot.  It is truly the best health insurance you can obtain and it is free.  Using muscles to resist gravity is a very strong powerful stimulus to our brains.  You are doing more than just stretching muscles, but when they are stretched and resisting gravity they are shooting large volleys of electrical signals back up to your brain and you are receiving global health benefits, not just a happier muscle. 

Global health benefits mean that way upstream where your brain resides, most of the factors that create good health are being calculated by your brain.  If your brain is getting disinformation about its environment due to faulty nerve signals it is going to make faulty decisions on how to manage all of it’s other departments besides the Musculo-skeletal system. 

If nerve signals leaving your spinal joints are not the proper signals due to spinal joints not moving correctly, your brain may interpret that as something not advantageous to you such as poor digestion.  An anatomist will be quick to tell you that the vagal nerve, which controls all of our organs, does not connect to the spine.  They are right but, our brains work as a result of a summation of all the signals and that 90% of information coming from the spinal joints and cord get summated and a decision is made and no one, no doctor I know of is going to associate your now broken digestive system or any system, feel free to choose one, has anything to do with your spine not working correctly. 

Medical doctors are great at treating emergencies occurring from disease.  They are not trained to truly prevent the disease process.  Not every disease is because you didn’t get vaccinated or took enough antibiotics.  Our brains are quite capable of ensuring that we work correctly when allowed to.  No one has to wind their heart up at night to keep it working.  If so, we’d all be dead because sooner or later we would have forgotten to wind it up. 

You are not going to see these kinds of thoughts on Gray’s Anatomy or any other show about medicine.  Our economy is based upon you being sick.  I can say that because after 44 years in practice it is no longer 1 out of every 4 commercials is for a drug.  It now seems like 1 out of 2 are now telling us that we must take a drug to survive planet earth. 

I’m telling you that you would be better off taking care of your health and not taking so many drugs that lead to poorer health.  The commercial verifies that thought with all of the side effects it whispers at the end of the commercial with the recording sped up so that you have no idea just how many things that magic pill created by top scientists is going to do to you.

Just in case after reading all that and you are still not sure of the secret to life, it is movement.  Moving in gravity.  Actually, it is more gravity than movement, but we take that for granted living on Earth.  Because of the way we are neurologically wired up, I really don’t see living on other planets with less gravity being a healthy alternative.
