A new study finds the key role of bone in regulating the fight or flight response. In response to alarm signals from the brain, nerves within bone release osteocalcin, which immediately lowers the parasympathetic "brake" and lets the fight or flight response take over!

This research is no surprise to anyone that studies or works with fascia, the connective tissue network of the body that is especially dense around the muscles. Fascia is known to play a huge role in the fight or flight nervous system and is also continuous with bone.

Although we think of bone as "solid," 20% of it is actually water, and electrical charges and movement of this water transmits mechanical messages through bone, just like it does through fascia. In fact some scientists call bone "mineralized fascia."

According to a recent review article, "bone is part of the fascial continuum...that constantly transmits and receives mechano-metabolic information." https://www.cureus.com/articles/16943-bone-tissue-is-an-integral-part-of-the-fascial-system

It is fascinating to see how scientists are unravelling the complex interplay between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems!

“Previously known — and unambiguously federally recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the Verona Band of Indians — the Tribe was illegally removed from a key list in a dastardly bureaucratic maneuver that effectively defrauded it of its federal recognition, something that is shockingly unlawful in the context of federal Indian law. As a constitutional law matter, a Tribe can only be Terminated by an Act of Congress.

For the last forty years, the Tribe — which has never been lawfully Terminated — has been struggling to get back that federal status ever since. That status would restore the Tribe’s ability to access federal housing programs that it desperately needs in the face of a relentless gentrification of its Bay Area homeland, which threatens to displace them from their homelands.”

(DECEMBER 14TH, 2022) — In a stunning reversal that is sending shockwaves across the Bay Area’s political community, Rep. Zoe Lofgren is publicly refusing to support the federal recogni…
