Document Summary

Starting with the bible: story of david and goliath (a giant). David was able to save himself with a slingshot, by chopping off his head. He was suffering from multiple endocrine neoplasia: which is a hormonal disturbance which causes: He did not have enough energy because he was low in glucose. The stone hit his head and his skull was soft, because of his deficiency in parathyroid hormones. Noticed that when roosters were castrated, there combs (red thing on top of there head) collapsed. How does the removal of an organ on one side of the body cause an effect somewhere else. He castrated roosters and took the removed testicle and put it back into the body cavity. The rooster was able to have normal sex behavior and comb development. This meant the testes are releasing something into the blood. We now know that it is hormones, most specifically androgens.
