URGENT PRAYER REQUEST: He is an alcoholic and drug addict. He has been coming to church and praying upon our altar but has not been able to get free. He evidently got a hold of some bad drugs. He is presently handcuffed to a hospital bed with 4 policemen guarding him. It is uncertain as to whether he will live or die. Will you help us pray?

A lot of "drugs making people act primal and cannibalistic" news. I wouldn't be surprised if the drug "explanations" are coverups!edit on 26-6-2012 by Kalamord because: just in case it's been reported

Great work!! thank you
His work showed that when an animal experiences a shock or perceives a threat, it quickly releases hormones that help it to survive. These hormones help us to run faster and fight harder. They increase heart rate and blood pressure, delivering more oxygen and blood sugar to power important muscles. They increase sweating in an effort to cool these muscles, and help them stay efficient. They divert blood away from the skin to the core of our bodies, reducing blood loss if we are damaged. And as well as this, these hormones focus our attention on the threat, to the exclusion of everything else.
In this state, we are excitable, anxious, jumpy and irritable. This reduces our ability to work effectively with other people. With trembling and a pounding heart, we can find it difficult to execute precise, controlled skills. And the intensity of our focus on survival interferes with our ability to make fine judgments based on drawing information from many sources. We find ourselves more accident-prone and less able to make good decisions.
It is easy to think that this fight-or-flight, or adrenaline, response is only triggered by obviously life-threatening danger. On the contrary, recent research shows that we experience the fight-or-flight response when simply encountering something unexpected. The situation does not have to be dramatic: People experience this response when frustrated or interrupted, or when they experience a situation that is new or in some way challenging.
Selye identified that when pushed to extremes, animals reacted in three stages:
1. First, in the Alarm Phase, they reacted to the stressor.
2. Next, in the Resistance Phase, the resistance to the stressor increased as the animal adapted to, and coped with, it. This phase lasted for as long as the animal could support this heightened resistance.
3. Finally, once resistance was exhausted, the animal entered the Exhaustion Phase, and resistance declined substantially.
In becoming stressed, people must therefore make two main judgments: firstly they must feel threatened by the situation, and secondly they must doubt that their capabilities and resources are sufficient to meet the threat.
Some of the most common causes of adrenal gland overload include: physical stress from illness or disease, emotional stress, chronic infections, underproduction of cortisol, general hormonal imbalance and a weak immune system. Stress in the body can cause inflammation and pain that makes the adrenaline glands work harder than usual, resulting in an increased demand for more cortisol. When this demand is not met, the result is adrenal overload.
You can think of the brain as having higher, rational “thought” centers—and more primitive centers that run on instinct. Adrenaline overload blocks access to the higher brain and throws you down into the primitive brain. It hijacks your thought processes.
When adrenaline has shut you out of the higher brain centers:
* Without those brain centers, you might not even know you’re on adrenaline overload.
* You might misinterpret what others are saying (and see it as insulting, threatening, or accusing).
* The things you say might not make a lot of sense to other people.
* It might seem like you have no choice but to do something dangerous or illegal.
* You might make risky or expensive decisions, with consequences you don’t want.
* That adrenaline rush may even feel good at first, but it’s easy for adrenaline overload to get painful—and to bring on painful consequences.
The first step is being able to notice when you’re under adrenaline overload:
* Watch for physical symptoms first: Pounding head, racing heart, short breath, sweaty palms, dry mouth, heat rising in the body, tense muscles and jaw, etc. Make a list of your personal signs. Check the list when you’re under stress. Checking the list is more important than yelling at someone.
* Watch for mental symptoms: Jumbled thoughts; circular thinking; or difficulty seeing options, remembering time sequence, or handling math. Also watch for a sudden loss of ability to speak clearly, and for a tendency to believe things without questioning.
An endogenous catecholamine, epinephrine occurs as white to nearly white, microcrystalline powder or granules. It is only very slightly soluble in water, but it readily forms water soluble salts (e.g., HCl) when combined with acids.
Epinephrine can induce a feeling of fear or anxiety, tremor, excitability, vomiting, hypertension (overdosage), arrhythmias (especially if patient has organic heart disease or has received another drug that sensitizes the heart to arrhythmias), hyperuricemia, and lactic acidosis (prolonged use or overdosage). Repeated injections can cause necrosis at the injection site.
“Casein, which is found in dairy, and gluten in wheat are two culprits. According to some theories, some people get a toxic effect, creating a substance in the body that leads to aggression or the inability to control behavior.”
Manufactured chemicals like aspartame and monosodium glutamate (MSG) can also be temper igniters, Lewis says. She suggests nixing foods like instant soups and sauces that contain MSG, plus foods with artificial coloring and low-cal sweeteners.
All extant rabies viruses appear to have evolved within the last 1500 years.[13] Consequently, the emergence of rabies may have been contemporaneous with the extreme weather events of 535–536 and/or the eruption of Krakatoa
