I CRY FROM MY HANDS
WHAT HYPERHIDROSIS REALLY IS
Hyperhidrosis is not a skin disease.
It is not a problem of the sweat glands.
It is not an aesthetic defect.
Hyperhidrosis is a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, specifically its sympathetic branch.
The autonomic nervous system automatically regulates:
body temperature
sweating
heart rate
blood pressure
digestion
stress response
It works without conscious control.
HOW IT FUNCTIONS IN A PERSON WITHOUT HYPERHIDROSIS
1. A stimulus arrives (heat, emotion, stress)
2. The brain receives it
3. Filtering circuits evaluate intensity and danger
4. If necessary, the hypothalamus activates sweating
5. When no longer needed, the signal turns off
There is always a brake.
WHAT HAPPENS IN HYPERHIDROSIS
In people with hyperhidrosis:
Filtering and modulation circuits work poorly
The signal is not attenuated
The brake is weak
This means:
stimuli arrive unfiltered
they arrive directly
they arrive amplified
No anatomical part is missing.
What is reduced is the functional efficiency of inhibitory filtering.
In simple terms:
The brain does not lower the volume.
WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURS
In the connections between:
Limbic system (emotions)
Hypothalamus (body regulation)
Brainstem
Prefrontal cortex
These circuits should say:
“This stimulus is mild”
“This is not dangerous”
“This does not require a bodily response”
In severe hyperhidrosis, this mechanism is weak.
Everything passes through.
WHAT “EVERYTHING PASSES THROUGH” MEANS
Tension
Anger
Fear
Injustice
Humiliation
Conflict
Sensory overload
There is no effective protective barrier.
Every stimulus arrives pure.
WHY THE BODY CHOOSES SWEAT
When the brain perceives threat:
It activates the sympathetic system
It prepares for survival
It increases sweating
In hyperhidrosis, this channel becomes a primary discharge valve.
The body releases through sweat.
Not because it is wrong.
Because it is one of the fastest exits.
WHY IT WORSENS IN TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS
A toxic environment is one where:
You are not safe
You are not listened to
You are devalued
You experience injustice
You must constantly defend yourself
The brain does not reason morally.
It reasons in terms of:
danger / no danger
Toxic environment = prolonged danger.
Therefore:
Sympathetic system always active.
If you stay four hours in that environment:
four hours of continuous signal.
The body collapses.
WHY IT MAY DECREASE AT HOME OR IN SAFE PLACES
Because:
The brain perceives less threat
The sympathetic system slows
Baseline activation lowers
This proves that:
it is not a skin problem
it is not a local defect
It is a neurophysiological response to context.
LEVELS OF HYPERHIDROSIS
Level 1
Occasional increased sweating
Level 2
Frequent sweating
Level 3
Continuous sweating
Level 4 (severe)
Profuse, visible, disabling, uncontrollable sweating
WHY CREAMS, BOTOX AND SURGERY FAIL
They act at the end of the circuit.
They block the faucet.
But the pressure remains.
Result:
Sweat appears elsewhere
Compensations occur
Global worsening
This is physiology, not bad luck.
An honest physician knows this.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
Severe hyperhidrosis is often associated with:
Highly sensitive nervous systems
Trauma
Chronic stress
Prolonged overload
Highly perceptive personalities
Not weakness.
Neurological hyper-receptivity.
WHAT THIS PHOTO SHOWS
Not a wet hand.
It shows:
A nervous system under overload.
A body that can no longer contain.
A real biological response.
CLOSING STATEMENT
This is not shame.
This is not guilt.
This is not a defect.
It is the cost of a nervous system that feels everything.

I'd say it's a 6 out of ten fer difficutty, woodunt yew, Donald?"
DONALD: "Yes, Ted!"
hopefully we will have these for designBoom sydney. had a few problems with the settings, but we had to use the crap laser cutter on the 5th floor.

My latest purchase, from a trusted eBay vendor, is this US-made Agate puzzle by Nervous System.
Containing 4 crystal-themed whimsies, it combines art, science and technology and is laser cut; each puzzle is one of a kind with a computer generated image and shape.
Under 180 pieces but it punches above its weight, although I wouldn't say it's a difficult 'make'.
Enjoyable, and one I'd like to assemble again.
finally real!
and in stock!
available at the Museum of Modern Art store (online and in NYC)
and our own web shop

Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies): The historical use of passion flower is not dissimilar to its current use as a mild sedative. Medicinal use of the herb did not begin until the late 19th century in the United States. Passion flower was used to treat nervous restlessness and gastrointestinal spasms. In short, the effects of passion flower were believed to be primarily on the nervous system, particularly for anxiety due to mental worry and overwork.
Active constituents: For many years, plant researchers believed that a group of harman alkaloids were the active constituents in passion flower. Recent studies, however, have pointed to the flavonoids in passion flower as the primary constituents responsible for its relaxing and anti-anxiety effects. European herbal pharmacopoeias typically recommend passion flower products containing no less than 0.8% total flavonoids. The European literature involving passion flower recommends it primarily for the treatment of mild to moderate anxiety. In this context, it is often combined with valerian, lemon balm, and other herbs with sedative properties.
our booth at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair.
We exhibited our Hyphae lamp family which consists of one of a kind 3D printed LED lamps. And customizable tables created by our Radiolaria app.
finally our packaging has our name on it
dendrite design on top
radiolaria design on bottom
there is also an insert card for the rubber jewelry with cleaning instructions but it has not arrived yet

This is an illustration of our nervous system.

Searching for Thoughts
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Searching for thoughts goes on from start to end,
Quickened with passion that gives each calling;
Like a blank page where fingers move and bend,
Passion and pain from the footsteps falling.
Again now and now the movements go on,
Deeper within darkness enter a step;
Ignite corners in blaze millimicron,
Starting to grow and becoming more help.
All from the searching from within the brain,
Play with what you know in bitter and sweet;
Narrow each law by reshaping the rein,
Each of its way becomes clear in its beat.
Across clearings a mind searches all through,
Symbols of play know how to continue.
