Comment on Exploding Head Syndrome: It’s Not What You Think by Pat Stewart

Hey, Doc!
I have actually experienced this a time or two in my lifetime. It’s weird, for sure, and made me think something had fallen in the room or hit the house!
Now I finally know what it was!!!

Hey again! People metabolize alcohol differently. I’m guessing it has to do with the type of alcohol and the impurities present.
Everything in moderation!

I just found your site via EntreCard and love it. I’m going to RSS it. My mind is facinated with neurology and mental illness. I have major depressive disorder and PTSD.

In terms of this article, to me it means that you can slow the aging process down a bit. I have no problem drinking coffee, I like grapefruit juice and the fruit…now, the exercise is always a work in progress…but, aren’t we all, a work in progress.

This was facinating. Made me think a lot about what others say about their tolerance and hangovers. Personally, I’ve never been intoxicated. I’ve never liked the feeling of feeling out of control which I start to feel at the beginning. Also, I am unable to drink wine or champange because I faint and it doesn’t matter how much. My doctor thinks that it has something to do with the way grapes are processed.

Hey thanks Roy!
I’m loading up on sesquiterpenes right now. Can’t get enough.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Hi Kerry,

I thought this would interest you.

IN STUDIES CONDUCTED AT VIENNA AND BERLIN UNIVERSITIES, researchers found that sesquiterpenes in the essential oils of sandalwood and frankibcense can increase levels of oxygen in the brain by up to 28%. Such an increase in brain oxygen may lead to a heightened level of activity in the hypothalamus and limbic systems of the brain, which can have dramatic effects not only on emotions, learning and attitude, but also on many physical processes of the body, such as immune function, hormone balance,and energy levels. High levels of sesquiterpenes also occur in melissa, myrrh, clove and cedarwood oil. (Desk reference for Essential Oils)
