AHS18 Todd Becker - How Hormesis Works
Full Title: How Hormesis Works: The Biology of Beneficial Adaptation to Stress
What explains the modern pandemics of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, asthma and cancer-and also depression, anxiety and addiction? Is contemporary life too stressful? While chronic, excessive exposure to stressors such as anti-nutrients, toxins, UV, or psychological stress can cause illness, so can insufficient physical challenge. Hormesis -- beneficial stress -- activates endogenous defense, repair and adaptive mechanisms, thereby improving health, fitness and resilience. The hardier lives of our ancestors were indeed protective against illness. I will examine the biological mechanisms behind four main types of hormesis: (1) structural remodeling of tissues and organs, such as bone, muscle and the eye, in response to activity; (2) immunity and detoxification by exposures that train endogenous defenses; (3) metabolic adaptation in response to diet, exercise, cold exposure and hypoxia; and (4) psychological resilience against depression, anxiety and addiction, by challenges that re-sensitize receptors We are suffering from a deficiency of hormesis!

The sound is fine after the first 40 seconds. Worth watching!
Todd, I truly appreciate your scientific efforts here. I started at 20/50, measured at -1 Diopters. After about 6 months, of wearing a plus, only for near, I began reading the 20/30 line with good clarity. Today, I consistently read 20/20, on my own Snellen. The entire process is both low cost and effective. I am an Engineer, so it all makes scientific sense to me. Permanent 20/20.
thank you Todd Becker
The plus (at 20/60) can produce clearing to 20/30 and better. (Pass all normal legal requirements.) Todd is correct, as science.
Thank you for a riveting presentation.
I read about how biopsy trauma in the lungs resulted in total remission of lung cancers. The stressor probably triggered a repair and clean-up response.
Summary bits at 34:41 particularly helpful
Excellent info!
my 13 year old son has -4.5 and -4.75. so if we follow the print pushing method, does he need to be off the spectacles all the time? or just only when reading, he has to take it off?

"Audio hormesis" haha.... It seems like he only has a vague understanding of how microphones work.
