a: Adrenaline ~
b: whip that drives the horse
What: "Adrenaline's effects are dramatic and unmistakable, but because this hormone does not linger in your body, its effects are also relatively short-lived. On the other hand, cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the outer cortex, has more prolonged effects on your body. If adrenaline is like the whip that drives the horse faster and faster, cortisol is like the rider's boot, digging into the flank, keeping the horse going even when it's ready to quit."

What: "Sometimes you feel like the adrenaline is like a tap that won't turn off and you are buzzing for days and can't sleep- then to the other extreme of flat on your back with no energy at all- pure exhaustion and emotional imbalance, where tears are flowing down your face with no end!"

One Burns Fast; The Other Burns Slow
a: Adrenaline ~
b: lighter fluid
What: "Under stress, your body produces two hormones: adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline is like lighter fluid, and cortisol is like charcoal. The former quickly burns off the immediately available sugar in your blood, so you can fight or flee whatever is stressing you. Cortisol continues to fuel the fire, pumping more sugar into your blood so you have energy to burn."

a: The adrenaline ~
b: the Spirit of God
What: "Now, I want you to look at everything I have just spoken to you from a spiritual perspective. The Adrenaline is like the Spirit of God who leads and guides us into all truth. Who protects and comforts us. Anaphylactic Shock is like the lies that oppose all things God, which lead all who fall into its trap to death (an severe reaction due to actions taken which cause constricted airways {a.k.a DEATH})"
