Chapter 409: The Abnormal Pineal Gland

"Yes, even at night, when I say it's hot, I say it's cold, and when I take my temperature, it's normal."

Tian Junjun said.

"What tests have been done?"

Zhao Heng asked with a deep groan.

There is a feeling of alternating between hot and cold, but there is no change in body temperature, which indicates that there is a problem with the nerves, perception, or even pheromones.

But pheromones or trace hormones, under normal circumstances, except for some very specific diseases, doctors will not check.

"These are all of them."

Tian Junjun hurriedly took out a large stack of inspection materials from the bag he carried.

Zhao Heng took the information and looked at it, there were Chinese, English, and even Japanese and German, it seemed that he really took his children to see a doctor all over the world.

How else to say that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful.

Zhao Heng took the thick stack of materials in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Soon, Zhao Heng finished reading the information, but his expression was very dignified, because these materials showed that the examination of patients had basically covered all the examinations of brain and neurology so far, and even all kinds of cutting-edge scientific and technological examinations that even Zhao Heng had only heard of.

But after doing so many tests, the conclusions were all found nothing, which made the condition even more difficult.

Zhao Heng's expression, Tian Junjun and Wang Lei have seen it many times, and every time they visited a doctor before, the doctor looked like this.

Sometimes the couple Tian Junjun and Wang Lei will wonder why their daughter has this strange disease that can't even be found.

"Are there any similar cases in your family?"

In terms of brain and neurological examinations, there is no way to find anything, and the couple took their children to see so many brain and psychology experts before, and the brain and neurology examinations have been done.

And the psychological examination, based on the results of the examination that Zhao Heng just saw, showed that the little girl's emotions and personality were completely normal in all aspects.

In other words, for this little girl, apart from the hallucinations she will see, and from time to time she will feel hot and cold on her body, from a physical or mental point of view, she does not have any abnormalities in herself.

It's no wonder that after seeing so many doctors, there is always no way to do it, this situation is like projecting a hologram all the time, or connecting a device to stimulate nerves on a normal person.

Such a strange thing, the child's grandmother will find the master, and the master will say what the child is [child's life], which is not difficult to understand.

"Nope."

Tian Junjun shook his head slightly.

"Director Zhao, is my grandfather a Taoist priest?"

Wang Lei suddenly thought of something and said.

For his daughter's illness, he doesn't have much hope now, it depends on whether the young chief doctor in front of him can find another angle to start.

"Daoist?"

Zhao Heng was a little surprised.

"Yes, Director Zhao said this, I remembered, my mother told me that my grandfather was a Taoist priest, and he still seems to be very powerful, but this should have nothing to do with Nannan's illness, right?"

Wang Lei said slowly.

Things are at this level now, just yesterday, the old mother asked the master to come to the house to take away the child, Wang Lei really couldn't hold it back.

If there is no progress on Zhao Heng's side today, then he really doesn't know what to do.

"How powerful?"

Zhao Heng asked with interest.

"It seems that he was named a celestial master, I don't remember very well."

Wang Lei thought for a while and said.

"It seems that Taoism is famous only for the four heavenly masters, but in modern times, Taoism is not obvious, and it is not surprising that it is not famous."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

Suddenly, Zhao Heng thought of a possibility.

"Maybe it's not a disease, it's a very powerful talent, but we'll find out when we get tested."

After a pause, Zhao Heng said slowly.

"Huh? Powerful talent? What is the talent of being a Taoist priest? ”

Wang Lei was shocked by Zhao Heng's words, Zhao Heng was the first person to say this, which was completely different from what other doctors he had said when he took his children to see him in the past.

Combined with what he said just now that his grandfather was a powerful celestial master, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this is a kind of intergenerational inheritance?

Otherwise, the old mother would not have found those people who were chattering with gods, and the old mother obviously knew something.

"From the perspective of modern medicine, Taoist priests and monks, among whom there are also very powerful people, these people are born with a relatively developed pineal gland, so in many ways, they are much stronger than ordinary people."

"And these people are, in childhood, and indeed there are some phenomena similar to fantasy, unpredictable prophets, predictions, and so on for no reason."

Zhao Heng explained a little and said.

The pineal gland, also known as the pineal gland, is a gray-red oval body with a length of (5~8) mm and a width of (3~5) mm, weighing (120~200) mg, and its development reaches its peak at the age of 7~8. The pineal gland is located at the top of the diencephalic body, between the reinset and the posterior commissure, in the depression above the tetraassic, in the depression above the tetraassic, located in the third ventricular roof, so it is also called the supracerebral gland, one end of which is connected to the third ventricular roof by a thin stalk, and the third ventricle convex to the stalk to form the pineal gland crypt.

The surface of the pineal gland is coated with connective tissue that extends from the leptomeninges, which extends into the parenchyma with the blood vessels, and divides the parenchyma into many irregular lobules, which are mainly composed of pineal cells, glial cells and nerve fibers.

Modern scientific research has found that the pineal gland can secrete melatonin, inhibit the secretion of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and secrete a variety of peptide hormones with strong anti-gonadotropin effects, thereby effectively inhibiting the activity of the gonads and the appearance of sexual characteristics of both sexes.

Many places have set up whole-brain training courses in the cloak of high-tech such as quantum fluctuation speed, and some trainers claim that they can not only "see ten lines at a glance", but also develop the pineal gland - "when the pineal gland is opened, the eye of heaven is opened, and the content of the book can be seen with the eyes closed".

And when students feel that they have "learned nothing", the trainer usually says that "the students are too old, and if the children are sent in early, they will have opened their eyes a long time ago".

Although these training institutions are deceptive, it is an indisputable fact that in the history of mankind, there is indeed the development of the pineal gland.

"Director Zhao, are you talking about metaphysics?"

Wang Lei said with a frown.

He never imagined that his daughter's illness would be related to the so-called [metaphysics].

To be honest, he has been able to get to where he is today, all thanks to his own efforts, and it has nothing to do with fate.

Of course, the reality is that his efforts account for 10%, and his family background and the help of his ex-wife's family account for 90%.

"It's not metaphysics, I've read a document where a team of researchers led by the University of Michigan School of Medicine in the United States found for the first time that dimethyltryptamine is ubiquitous in mammalian brains and is naturally occurring. Therefore, in some special human individuals, if the pineal gland is particularly developed, it will secrete dimethyltryptamine on its own. ”

Zhao Heng explained.

"Dimethyltryptamine? What is it? ”

Suddenly heard something similar to a chemical term, Wang Lei was a little surprised, but when he heard this chemical term, he was more at ease, and he was still involved with science.

"Dimethyltryptamine is a natural compound found in many plant and animal tissues and has a strong hallucinogenic effect. It has been found that environmental stress increases the level of dimethyltryptamine in the mammalian central nervous system, and dimethyltryptamine can also bind to serotonin receptors involved in intracellular signaling in multiple regions of the nervous system and exert agonist activity, and can also bind to non-serotonin receptors distributed in the frontal lobe, striatum, etc. ”

Zhao Heng explained very professionally.

"Moreover, the natural compound dimethyltryptamine can activate and regulate the proliferation and migration of neural stem cells, promote the generation of new neurons, and improve spatial learning and memory."

After a pause, Zhao Heng said again.

"Director Zhao, do you mean that my grandfather secreted this substance because of the developed pineal gland, and then enhanced some of his abilities? And now my child has inherited this constitution from generation to generation? ”

Zhao Heng explained this, and Wang Lei understood a little.

"Yes or no, do a very small amount of testing to know, dimethyltryptamine is not a rare substance, it is widely found in nature, but it is extremely rare if it is spontaneously secreted by the human body."

Zhao Heng said again.

"Then it's troublesome Director Zhao."

Wang Lei stretched his brows, nodded and said, this is the first time, he took his child to see a doctor, and for the first time, he had the direction of the cause investigation, instead of just headless flies as before, to see if there would be abnormalities in a certain examination.

After a while, Zhao Heng opened the inspection, and Tian Junjun took the child and followed Tian Zhen to do the inspection.

This time, Wang Lei was already drinking coffee, and his mood was also a lot more relaxed.

After all, I finally have a direction, and I can know the direction of the cause.

An hour later, the results of the expedited test came in.

"It has been established that the child does have a very small amount of dimethyltryptamine in his body."

Zhao Heng took the freshly baked checklist and said to Wang Lei and Tian Junjun.

"Director Zhao, we took our children to see so many doctors before, why didn't there be a doctor to test this substance?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Wang Lei was in a much better mood, at least he knew the reason, not those things that the gods were talking about.

But at the same time, he was also puzzled, why didn't doctors think about this before?

"It's very simple, because dimethyltryptamine is currently an emerging D product, and no one would think of giving a seven-year-old child a very small amount of poison testing."

Zhao Heng said very briefly.

"Huh? D product? So what to do? ”

As soon as Tian Junjun heard the word D product, he immediately panicked.

"Don't worry, this very small amount of dimethyltryptamine secreted by the human body is completely different from the dimethyltryptamine contained in ayahuasca on the market. The concentration of the human body secreted by itself is only about one hundredth of what is used as a D product, and it will not cause any substantial damage to the human nervous system. ”

Zhao Heng soothed Tian Junjun and said.

Many poisons in the past, such as arsenic, crane red, malachite, etc., can be used in very small amounts for the human body, but can play a role in curing diseases.

In modern times, the difference between medicine and poison is only the difference in dose.

"Director Zhao, how to treat it?"

Tian Junjun asked very eagerly.

"The chemical structure and mechanism of action of dimethyltryptamine and serotonin are very similar, so general serotonin-lowering drugs and methods can be applied in dimethyltryptamine overdose, and in terms of the content of dimethyltryptamine in your child's body, it only needs to reach about one-tenth of the general adult treatment amount."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, lowering serotonin, in clinical practice, is a very common treatment method, and it is not complicated.

The hardest part is knowing the cause.

Serotonin, in fact, is the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is a messenger that produces pleasant emotions and affects almost every aspect of brain activity: from regulating mood, energy, memory to shaping life outlook.

Dimethyltryptamine has a similar effect to serotonin, but the effect of dimethyltryptamine is deeper, and in some places where primitive tribes exist, they will concentrate on drinking [Ayahuasca] containing a large amount of dimethyltryptamine, so as to communicate with [gods] or [ancestors].

To put it bluntly, it is a strong hallucinogenic effect, allowing people who drink ayahuasca to see whatever they want.

For this little girl, she had watched Alice's adventures in Wonderland before, and the natural hallucinations leaned in this direction.

"Don't worry, for the treatment of symptoms caused by very small amounts of neurotransmitters in the body, the effect is very fast, and after taking the medicine, there will be obvious results the next day."

Zhao Heng said again.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, thank you."

Tian Junjun said with some excitement, this time for her, it is a desperate situation, if something goes wrong with this child, she really doesn't know how to live the rest of her life.

As the first female star to marry into a wealthy family, the means of fixing favor are herself at the beginning, and then she is a child.

Wang Lei's love for this child, she sees it in her eyes, that's why she is so anxious.

"Thank you."

Wang Lei also looked at Zhao Heng and said with some emotion in his heart.

An elder like him naturally can't say too much thanks, but for Zhao Heng's gratitude, he also keeps it in his heart.

"In fact, although the child's condition is relatively rare, as long as the cause is investigated, it can be treated with modern medical methods."

Zhao Heng nodded and said without credit.

Clinically, many times incurable diseases are really a matter of thinking, sometimes, the human body is mysterious and complex, and sometimes, you can't even think of it even if you want to break your head.

Therefore, at this time, only Zhao Heng, who is proficient in multiple disciplines at the same time, has the widest angle thinking, and integrates modern medicine, can find the cause so quickly.

"Having said that, if we don't find Director Zhao this time, then we don't know when and when we will be able to find out the cause."

Wang Lei said slowly.

It seems that something very simple does not mean that it is not difficult, but it is just that it is not difficult to say that it will be difficult.

The human mind has limitations, and these limitations are difficult to break through.
