--sympathetic hydration--

   i have written about swelling in a different post, some time ago, so, some of this stuff that came to me this morning( over a nice bagel), is from another post, reworked, into this new crazy notion i had today--


the credits--

  "insect-ual frontal assault casualties" have inspired these concepts, for use in future counter-measures( my advisories are both persistent, and extremely effective)...as a result, i noted today that certain situations in regards to the hydration( swelling), of the skin, are vastly different...

swelling--

  if you have a reaction from a substance the body deems foreign( an allergen/toxin ), the skin swells with liquid, to dilute the toxins within the skin, this "super-hydration" also immobilizes the area during the detoxification process, while the body expels the unwanted material...through sweat( a new notion of mine, read on)...

sweating--

 i drank enough coffee the other evening, before bed, to wake the dead in a coma ward...no kidding, and when i woke, i was immediately dealing with an unpleasant situation, that required soap and water...leading to a discovery that i feel is of note...if the bladder, or any other tissue, is super-hydrated, and is pressed against, or contacting, another tissue that is less hydrated, the two may equalize in hydration, from the greater concentration, to the lesser...this would explain why a person( me, in this moment), may "sweat-out" some of the liquid within their bladder, through their pours( instead of urinating), causing a bit of an odor, from the evaporation of the sweat...i feel that this "sympathetic hydration" is not only "in-play", but is an "on-going" process, within the normal workings of the skin...sweat, i suggest, is about two things...in the first place, sweat regulates the temperature of the skin, and it's ability to resist static electricity passing through it, to the nerves in the tissue beneath( the hotter the skin, the more it's moisture is lost, and the better it conducts static electricity to the tissue beneath...this tissue beneath the skin, encountering the heat, is then hydrated by the body( a defensive reaction), to resist static electricity( pain), from going to the nerves, this moisture in the tissue beneath the skin, then "wicks" to the surface, and is evaporated( the action of the evaporating liquid on the skin's surface, then creates a cooling effect for the epidermis)...

   the other thing, "in-play", seems to be a reaction from exercise( lactic acid??), and the "build up" of this substance...i believe, that a muscle, may, if need be, expel this toxin through the skin's pours, via a convection, of h20+"one of the toxin's unwanted molecules??", leaving the site of evaporation...afterward, the remaining material, can then be sent to the liver/kidneys through the blood stream...as this compound would no longer be a detriment to the body, after evaporation...in fact, this substance might become a beneficial one( i am currently unaware of this remainder's molecular structure, due to a lack of information about lactic acid's molecular structure...if i was to hazard a guess, it would be...lactic acid - a hydrogen molecule??...)--

  the question--

    what is the difference between sweating and swelling??, and is this "sweating-action" that expels a molecule, that is bonded to moisture( h20), and is then evaporated( made airborne)...the basis of what we call scent??...

swelling/vs sweat--

   i feel, that the difference between sweat and swelling, is that swelling is the hydration of an area of the body in "crisis"( hydrating the tissue first, skin second...from "sympathetic hydration")...this "super-hydration", increases to a point well beyond the ability of evaporation to dissipate it, and remains at this level, until all of the toxins are voided( from healing reactions/effects, or other irritants...insect bites, ect...), basically, if the hydration keeps coming "at-pressure", the area must be engorged, with hydration, as it may not be evaporated fast enough...

 scent--

   yes, i feel that we have bumbled upon the situation entirely, with it's molecules showing...i strongly suggest, that scent is indeed about "sympathetic hydration", and the dissipation of it's "by-product"( airborne remnants of the action)...

  secondary o2 delivery system--

   after some thought this morning, about the dynamics of "sympathetic hydration", i believe i may have "gotten-my-foot-in the-door", in regards to the systems the body utilizes when it's muscles are in extended use( exercise), we know that the pulmonary system delivers 02 to the muscles while you work-out( to actuate them), but, i suggest, that there is another, secondary way, o2 can be obtained by them( if under stress), after the pulmonary system begins to "come-up-short", and lactic acid begins to build-up( the point of exhaustion)...

   the skinny--

    i contend, that if the muscle, or muscles, is/are receiving enough o2, from the heart and lungs, that the person will not sweat( an untested conclusion), in fact, i feel that this might be a good gauge of a person's fitness level, as the better the "cartio-system" of the subject is, the longer i feel that they will be able to sustain exercise, without sweating...so, the secondary system of sweating, is, in my opinion, another way for the muscles to obtain o2, from the molecular exchange that occurs when the "h20+lactic acid", is expelled from the muscle tissue, to the skin, via "sympathetic hydration", or "sweating"...once the "h" is evaporated from "h20+lactic acid", the body likely puts the "o2" to good use in the muscle beneath, and the dried "+lactic acid" remains on the skins surface( creating an odor, and a substance with a high p-h..."sweat"...yuck...), if this is correct, i am completely amazed, at the ability of the body to counter extreme stress, by the molecular conversion of a "by-product", into a fuel( we are not the only ones into recycling...mother nature does too..)--


    i feel that his B.S., is some of the finest B.S. that may be obtained, here at home, or abroad...of use for making "small-talk" with your physician, or other medical technicians you may know/employ...and nothing more--
