Should You Trust a "Gut Feeling"?The limits of gastrointestinal knowledge.

In a conversation with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday, Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff said he thought there was an increased risk of the country coming under terrorist attack this summer—speculation he attributed to "a gut feeling." President Bush has also been known to turn to his digestive organ for advice: Explaining the Iraq invasion a few years ago, he told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward that he was a "gut player." How much does your gut actually know?
Plenty. In fact, your gut is so packed with neurons that in the 1990s one gastroneurologist, Michael Gershon, dubbed it the "second brain." This enteric nervous system looks a lot like the network of cells that exists in your actual brain, and it uses all the same neurotransmitters (including 95 percent of the body's serotonin). It can operate on its own—that's without cranial consultation—to start or stop the flow of digestive enzymes, regulate pH levels inside the gut, or expel that week-old sushi that you ate against the better judgment of brain No. 1.
Scientists first caught on to the gut's unique ability to do its own thing around the turn of the last century. Two British scientists, William Bayliss and Ernest Starling, realized that the muscles of a dog's intestine contract in response to pressure. This reflex continued even after the scientists had severed the nerves connecting the intestine to the brain and spinal cord. Other organs (as well as arms and legs) depend upon the central nervous system for this type of behavior. The gut, it seemed, had a mind of its own.
Although the gut is the only organ able to keep itself pumping, churning, and spewing, its "thinking" capabilities are limited. We know when it's telling us it's full or needs to be emptied. But most of the messages that the gut sends never enter our awareness. Within the relatively new field of gastroneurology, scientists are still trying to decode what those messages are and how they affect us at a subconscious level. Some suspect that our emotions could be influenced by these signals from gut to brain.
What about the sensation of knots in your stomach—isn't that the gut's way of telling you to be wary of something (like a terrorist attack)? No, it's the other way around. If your brain perceives that you might be in mortal danger, it tells your body to start shutting down. Digestion would be a waste of much-needed energy in a life-or-death situation, so the lower portion of the gastrointestinal tract contracts to push everything out.

***What "brains" are, and the difference between vegetatinve (one), animal (2) and human (3) brained beings.

"Know first that, in general, every such cosmic formation called 'brain' receives its formation from those crystallizations the affirming source of whose arising, according to the sacred Triamazikamno, is one or another ofthe corresponding holy forces of the fundamental sacred Triamazikamno, localized in the Omnipresent-Okidanokh,. And the further actualizings of the same holy forces proceed by means of the presences of the beings, just through these localizations."

":The Omnipresent-Active-Element Okidonokh enters into the presences of beings through all the three kinds of being-food.
"And this proceeds because this same Okidanokh obligatorily participates in the formation of all kinds of products which serve as all three being-foods, and is always contained in the presences of these products.
"And so, my boy, the chief peculiarity of the Onmipresent-Okidanokh, in the given case, is that the dprocess of 'Djartklom' proceeds in it within the dpresence of every being also, but not from being in contact with the emanations of any large cosmic concentrations; but the factors for this process in the presences of beings are either the results of the conscious processes of 'Partkdolg-duty' on the part of the beings themselves, ...or of that process of Great Nature Herself which exists in the Universe under the name 'Kerkoolnonarnian-actualizations,' which prccess means 'The obtaining-of-the-required-totality-of-vibrations-by-adaptation.'
