The pineal gland is one of the greatest hidden secrets. The secret isn't the existence of the gland, but its function. Medical students are told it's a crooked organ, but it isn't. The pineal gland is the third eye. It's the organ through which we dream and imagine once it's activated. It's also the organ that connects us to other dimensions of reality. That is, it allows us to see beings from other dimensions. It also allows us to astral travel (leaving our physical bodies to travel with our etheric bodies), develop spiritual skills such as clairvoyance or telepathy, and even the possibility of time travel through the ether. The pineal gland has many meanings in Egyptian heritage. It is known as the Eye of Horus. In sacred geometry, the Eye of Horus can be seen aligning precisely with all the structures of the brain. In the Asian world, it is known as the third eye, or the center of insight and intuition. In ancient times, it was known as the "gate to heaven." The French philosopher Descartes proposed that the pineal gland connects the body to the soul, or contains it. He called it the "seat of the soul." His suggestion stems from the fact that the pineal gland is not an exact replica of the body, and is also believed to be unique to humans… Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pine tree and linked to insomnia and depression, is found in certain foods such as oats, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, nuts, rice, and cherries. The ancient Sumerians and Babylonians worshipped the pine tree in their temples, and a pine tree-shaped monument even stands in the Vatican. Hieroglyphic inscriptions have also been found on the walls of the pyramids. Stimulate Your Pineal Gland The Gates of Hell

A new study clarifies how a mysterious hormone, GDF15, makes insulin work better in rodents. As reported in Cell Metabolism, the researchers were the first to discover that the hormone GDF15 actually improves sensitivity in mice and rats, making them better suited to regulate their blood sugar and absorb energy in their muscles. The findings increase our general understanding of GDF15 and suggest potential benefits for diabetes and overweight. “Increased insulin sensitivity is an important indicator of health and critical for avoiding type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. That we are now able to demonstrate a beneficial effect of GDF15 in rodents raises interesting perspectives,” says senior author Erik Richter, a professor at the University of Copenhagen.

She said I could either go to the guy who owns the place-- who is an autistic dude with a special interest in intersex conditions & gene mutations (he's genuinely pioneering research in this stuff), but the issue with that is he's DPC so I'd have to have a stable income, because he doesn't take insurance... (I don't have a stable income and haven't in years. Maybe when I turn 26 and lose my insurance I'll consider this, because $100 per appointment is still a lot cheaper than most doctors charge without insurance, but I still have insurance, still don't have a job, and I know my family won't be thrilled about paying $100 every month -- Or more if I'm including bloodwork.)

Or... I could go to an endo and ask about more extensive testing there. Nervous to actually go to an endo, though, because I feel like they'll get pissy and throw a fit about me being on T & try to get me on birth control again... Which I absolutely DO NOT WANT in any case- It made me feel fucking awful in every way, fuck birth control!!! And I refuse to stop T (if I have a choice, anyway, seeing the direction that our piece of shit, garbage country is heading... I'll just go back to being on no hormones at all if I get T taken from me.)

Whatever I have, it's mild, but obviously it's SOMETHING. She did note that some of my hormone levels were a little low, too, like my DHEA, but it is all too mild to definitively make a diagnosis without additional testing. So it's like, could be some form of NCAH? But she's not trained enough in this to say, and she only really discusses things with the DPC Dr if a patients levels are genuinely concerning. We just ruled out classical CAH, is all, which I honestly already knew.
