It's more likely acetylcholine or nitric oxide. it's paradoxical because it is highly parasympathetic but still has elevated heart rate - probably as a result of the vagus nerve in check. it is very interesting that people who do yoga do not catch infectious disease, alzheimers or parkinsons. it's not the fake converse thing where you can say that alzheimers/parkinsons/sick people can't do yoga...it's the real deal. if you do a lot of yoga for a lot of years, you just dont get sick from diseases that are traditionally neurotransmitter-mediated. it's also super interesting that women who get botox and do hot yoga only have the effects of the botox for 2-4 weeks (1/3 the regular time). i've measured my temperature during yoga and tracked heart rate with an ekg. very interesting. too much to type! hang on more soon... ----Original Message From: Jeffrey E stein <*[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Sep 7, 2009 11:26 pm Subject: Re: lots of science people.. code breaking, signal processing. pychopharm, membrane computing. all fun..
