Dr. Reba and his team have found that Iowasca hyper-activates the highly evolved neo-cortex,

the area of the brain that makes us human.

This is where we perceive reason and make decisions.

Iowasca also activates regions like the Amigdala which acts as a storehouse for early emotional memories, specifically the most traumatic or significant ones, like the loss of a parent.

Finally, Iowasca activates the insula, which is believed to create a bridge between our emotional

impulses and our decision-making capacities.

It says that we're awareness with the neural... capacities. the insulin.

According to many neuroscientists, our decision-making process has a powerful emotional component.

When any stimulus enters the brain, the brain tries to understand it based on previous experiences.

In early life, powerful or traumatic events create an imprint on the brain, a pattern.

This pattern is like a shortcut, activated every time we face a similar situation.

For example, if we were once attacked by a dog, our brain might harbor a set of these pathways that associate that dog with all dogs, making us fear them in general.

We might even react adversely to a distant bark.

Repeated events cause these neural patterns to reinforce their connections,

binding them with protein and building them up like scar tissue. This is not like going to the doctor and honey are you okay if we take your blood pressure now.

Yeah, so yeah there was a lot of preparation before taking the medicine.

Okay, guys, welcome back to the Grimerica show.

We're going to be chatting with Margaret Duys

a little bit later, a little Iowasca shamanism

and her personal healing voyage and all that good stuff but first as always

Graham I'll stash a pocket knife in your carry-on-down-lop how's it going buddy and I wonder

why you got searched.
