What is Intra-crinology

Intra-crinology refers to the intracellular metabolism of hormones.  There is growing data that many cells (especially in the pituitary, brain, other places) can make some of their own hormones. This renders blood, saliva, and virtually all lab tests of limited value. We CAN measure cellular effects by watching our symptoms and functions.

This information is NOT intended to diagnose, treat or encourage self-treatment of any medical condition.

Dental pain can affect any of the structures of the mouth, including the teeth, gums, tongue, lymph nodes, salivary glands, cheeks, tonsils and their blood and nerve supplies. 

Dental pain can overlap with sinus pain. Both are usually involved when the upper jaw is involved.

Focusing on one region or organism is inherently fallicious, since there are many co-factors that determine the health of the mouth and its region.   

Regarding the biome of the mouth, sinuses and skull, there is growing evidence of co-existing fungi (such as Candida), viruses (such as Herpes), bacteria and other poorly characterized infectious agents that contribute via signaling, synbiotic and parasitic processes. 

The majority of sensation from the teeth, jaw and sinuses travel along one main nerve, the Trigeminal nerve, which has several major and minor branches.  The only other sensory nerves are those to the tongue, and indirectly via certain sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. While a certain degree of localization is possible…,

Dawn Phenomenon

Dawn Phenomenon vs Cortisol Awakening ResponseChat GPT (edited by Dr. C)

User
Are the dawn phenomenon and cortisol awakening response the same?

ChatGPT
The dawn phenomenon and cortisol awakening response (CAR) are related but distinct phenomena.

While both the dawn phenomenon and cortisol awakening response involve hormonal changes in the early morning, they are not the same. The dawn phenomenon specifically relates to changes in blood glucose levels, while the cortisol awakening response is focused on the release of cortisol in response to waking and the anticipation of daily activities.

Dawn Phenomenon:

The dawn phenomenon refers to the natural increase in blood glucose levels that occurs in the early morning hours, typically between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m.

  • During this time, the body releases hormones such as cortisol and growth hormone, which can lead to an increase in insulin resistance, causing blood glucose levels to rise.
  • This phenomenon is commonly observed in people with diabetes, but it can also occur in individuals without diabetes.

 Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR):

 The cortisol awakening response is a natural surge in cortisol levels that occurs within the first hour after waking.

  • Cortisol is a hormone that plays a role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of metabolism, immune function, and the body’s response to stress.
  • The CAR is a normal and adaptive response to the anticipation of the day’s challenges and activities.
