metabolism, generally not recognized as such but quietly enforced through polluted atmospheres, partially oxidated foodstuffs, general stress on the sympathetic nervous system over—promoting forms of anaerobic activity (all of which furnish the interior environment supportive of negative emotions feeding the closed-loop etc.); carbon dioxide breaks down to carbonic acid in the blood; acid chemically contributes cations or positive ions of hydrogen to the system which, in excess, tip the biochemical scales to catabolic or destructive activity; surplus positive ions have long been associated with negative moods, behaviors, biophysical processes and have been identified with debilitating atmospheres such as that produced by the—hot, dry—"Witch winds" locally labelled "Santa Ana" etc. Surplus positive ions are present at, and often characterize the supportive condition of, pathological sites; they specifically depress the function of the immunology system. In terms of brain chemistry, the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin (as a function of debilitating mood or psychic stress) stimulates releasing factors in the hypothalamus to generate adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary which "turns on" hydrocortisone—chemistry of the adrenal cortex. Hydrocortisone has a depressive effect, in and of itself, on the immunology system; and while indispensable in the processing of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, if kept "on" by sympathetic overstimulation as is the general case with the culture at large, it has the effect of continuously pressing the immunological "off" button. Thus having "acid for blood" almost literally describes the condition, the virtual "norm" under which humanity is generally functioning without realizing either the existence of such a sub-par state, or its implication. Acidotic conditions of the bloodstream are immunodepressive (the Swedish radiologist Von Nordenstrom has convincingly identified the existence of a bioelectric circuitry of the bloodstream, closed through the capillary systems and independent of neurocircuitry, which by way of electrolyte processing plays a large role in the immune-functions; negative ion—particles are the targeting mechanisms of the leukocytes, and their efficiency is obviously impeded in an environment of surplus cations). Acidotic conditions are, psychically, associated with depressive, anxious, fearful or negative moods; and chemically they're associated with inhibited or improper breathing patterns (note: the physiological accompaniment of depressed mood) such as are found in bronchial and pulmonary problems opportunistically associated with HIV etc. Therefore in examining the curious connection between AIDS and ALIEN, we incidentally cross upon a primary reason for our initial promotion of Power Breathing and its basic unit, the Charger Breath (see next month's Power Breathing column). Lining their descriptive parts in parallel rows, we see that the characteristics of the movie—monster Alien (circa 1979) anticipated the public advent of the AIDS virus in a most uncanny way, and especially if we understand the extraterrestrial genesis of the HIV microbe. We see that Alien is an extraterrestrial stowaway—and so is the HIV virus (the latter "stows away" in the host—cell nucleus, also, and lies dormant for a time just as Alien could "lie low" and then suddenly spring forward, secreting itself in the internal organs or folding itself up under a console panel...). We see that (in the revelations of the sequel Aliens) "the company" back home had secretly programmed its onboard cyborg—not even known to be such, by the crew—to bring the alien specimen back to Earth at any cost, its potential use in biological warfare being coveted by the military and the crew itself being quite expendable; similarly, the "stow—away" bacterium from Mars was identified and deliberately brought Earthward for parallel purposes. The Alien has "acid for blood", a unique weapon; and HIV uses the very immunology system to sustain and proliferate itself. Both are shapeshifters, changing form to suit the conditions. 109 T-Bird_Vs_The_Flying_saucers.htm "Everybody Knows Everything": Jack Kerouac
