We still don’t know the full facts about the amazing functions of the body and how things work.

Scientists just mapped a completely unknown third circulatory system in the human body — a fluid network connecting every organ simultaneously that textbooks have never described and medical training has never taught.

Researchers at New York University School of Medicine used a new tissue preservation technique that keeps biological structures intact during microscopy preparation, revealing a previously invisible network of fluid-filled spaces surrounded by collagen bundles running through connective tissue in every organ, along every blood vessel, and beneath every skin surface in the body. Named the interstitium, this network contains 20 liters of fluid — more than the combined volume of blood and lymph — flowing continuously between organs through channels that collapse flat when tissue is prepared using conventional dehydration techniques, making the network invisible in the 150 years of microscopy that preceded this discovery.

The interstitium appears to function as a body-wide mechanical shock absorber protecting organs from compression forces during movement, a fluid highway transporting immune cells between organs faster than the lymphatic system, and a pressure equalization network that maintains consistent fluid environment across all body systems simultaneously. Cancer cells spreading through the body appear to exploit interstitial flow pathways, which may explain why certain cancers spread to apparently distant and unrelated organs in patterns that conventional vascular anatomy cannot account for.

Every medical textbook written before 2018 describes human anatomy as having two circulatory systems. Every anatomy course taught since ancient Greece has been incomplete.

Swedish researchers developed gut bacteria treatment that reverses diabetes completely and permanently.

Your gut microbiome might be the most important organ for controlling blood sugar, and Swedish scientists at the Karolinska Institute just proved it. They discovered that transplanting bacteria from non-diabetic individuals into diabetic patients reverses insulin resistance, normalizes glucose control, and maintains improvements for years after a single treatment. This transforms diabetes from a lifelong disease requiring daily medication into a condition that can be genuinely cured.
The mechanism centers on short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production—a process certain bacteria perform brilliantly while others fail completely. Healthy microbiomes produce abundant butyrate, propionate, and acetate, which strengthen the intestinal barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity throughout the body. Diabetic microbiomes lack these bacteria, allowing inflammation to rage unchecked. Restoring the correct bacterial species restores metabolic health.
What makes this approach revolutionary is permanence. Unlike medications requiring lifelong adherence, bacterial transplantation creates a self-perpetuating ecosystem. Once healthy bacteria establish themselves, they outcompete harmful species and maintain their own community through competitive exclusion. Patients treated three years ago still maintain normal glucose levels without medication or dietary intervention beyond basic health habits.
The ethical and economic implications are staggering. If diabetes—affecting 422 million people globally—can be cured through gut bacteria transplantation, why are we still treating it as a lifelong medication requirement? One treatment could cost less than one year of insulin therapy while providing permanent cure. This could reshape how we think about metabolic disease entirely, shifting from symptom management to root cause elimination.

Calcarea carbonica is one of my most recommended remedies working with children with ADHD, ASD and PANS/ PANDAS. Today I'm specifically talking about why it's so helpful in cases with a pattern of ADHD symptoms. The remedy is recommended based on the whole constitutional picture (pattern of physical, emotional, and behavioral traits), not on a diagnostic label.

Common indications for recommending Calc carb as a constitutional remedy:

🐚 The “overloaded nervous system” pattern

Calcarea carb is often associated with people who:

▪ Become mentally overwhelmed easily

▪ Have difficulty processing too much stimulation

▪ Feel mentally scattered or slow to organize thoughts


This can show up as:

▪ distractibility

▪ trouble focusing on tasks

▪ mental fatigue after concentration

▪ difficulty completing projects

Homeopaths interpret this as a weakness in mental “assimilation”—the person takes in too much input and struggles to organize it.

🐚 Anxiety-driven attention problems

Many people who fit the Calc carb picture have strong underlying anxiety about safety and stability.

Common traits include:

▪ fear of making mistakes

▪ worry about school or responsibilities

▪ needing reassurance

▪ feeling overwhelmed by expectations

This anxiety can make attention worse, because the brain is constantly scanning for threats instead of focusing on tasks.

🐚 Physical traits

Homeopaths usually look for physical signs that confirm the remedy choice. For Calc carb types these might include:

▪ sweating on the head or scalp, especially at night

▪ fatigue and low stamina

▪ tendency toward weight gain

▪ being chilly or sensitive to cold

▪ cravings for eggs or dairy

In practice children might present with a -

▪ slower developmental pace

▪ difficulty with concentration but good persistence once engaged

▪ irritability when mentally overloaded

🐚 The “slow but steady” brain style

A key Calc carb theme is:

slow processing but deep learning

People may:

▪ take longer to understand new material

▪ struggle with multitasking

▪ perform better with structure and routine

When the nervous system is calmer, attention can improve significantly.

In Frei's refers to Calc carb as the most frequently prescribed remedy for hyperactive children.

Traditionally, Calc carb is described as slow, steady, and easily exhausted, so calling it hyperactive seems contradictory.


Many children needing Calc carb show -

▪ constant physical movement

▪ restlessness

▪ impulsivity

▪ difficulty sitting still in school

But the quality of the hyperactivity is distinctive. The “driven but overwhelmed” type of hyperactivity

Calc carb hyperactivity tends to look like:

▪ busy but disorganized

▪ moving a lot but not necessarily thrill-seeking

▪ easily overstimulated

▪ becoming mentally overloaded

It’s often more like internal pressure than the explosive or mischievous energy seen in other remedies e.g. Tarentula, Tuberculinum.

Typical patterns might be:

▪ fidgeting constantly

▪ getting up from the seat repeatedly

▪ starting many tasks but finishing few

▪ becoming overwhelmed by noise or stimulation


Calc carb is associated with:

▪ slow processing

▪ difficulty assimilating stimuli

▪ anxiety about performance

▪ mental overload

So a child might become hyperactive because their nervous system is trying to cope with too much input.

Instead of slowing down externally, the system spills over into movement.

Example of one of my clients positive response to Calc carb:

🐚 Completing school work independently

🐚 Increased focus/ attention

🐚 Writing now legible & not a source of frustration

🐚 Reduced hyperactivity, sitting for meals and school work

🐚 Reduction in sensory issues

🐚 Anxiety has lessened dramatically

🐚 Positive progress with OCD

🐚 Less shy / reserved/ cautious.

Calcarea carbonica is traditionally associated with children who are easily overwhelmed by sensory input, mentally overloaded, and slower to process or integrate new information. These children may respond well when their symptoms include restlessness combined with fatigue, anxiety about security, and difficulty organizing attention or development. The remedy is chosen when the child’s behavioral, emotional, and physical traits together match the Calcarea carbonica profile (see attached infographic), aiming to support better regulation and developmental balance.
