Biochemical Reasons to Development of PE

Biochemical base theory: Is there a possibility that biochemical reasons can cause pectus excavatum?

I made a post here on my blog about nutrition and PE and I have put a warning flag on especially wheat and the chemical substances that it contains as a possible biochemical reason to cause/worsen pectus excavatum or possibly make the recovery impossible. My whole blog have until now been mostly about the mechanical reasons. As I have already mentioned earlier last year on my blog; technical reasons causes the muscles in the upper back to malfunction (the blood flow decreases). When this happens, it will cause the upper back to be shortened. If it wasn’t for that reason (the shortening) it would be impossible to develop severe cases of the condition and it would also be a lot easier to recover from it.

The most difficult part of the recovery is not the sternum itself. The most difficult part is to stretch/make the muscles longer in the upper back. That is, as earlier mentioned, a prerequisite for the sternum to be able to pop out.

The following phrase is one of the most important phrases on my blog:

Anything that can make the muscles in the upper back to get them into a spastic condition can without doubt cause pectus excavatum to develop. When the muscles is getting shorter because of spasm, they will cause a free fall of the ribcage and make an already high mobility to become even more mobile, the same way it happens because of mechanical reasons. The connective tissue and the spine will be put under heavy muscular force vertically. The big question will be; can they withstand the force? Genetics will determine! If they can’t the ribs in the upper back will drag the sternum inwards the same way as described in other posts on my blog.

After this statement is made it also opens up for the possibility that pectus excavatum can be caused and/or worsened by chemical substances produced by the body itself during heavy loads of psychological stress. Many substances produced under such circumstances can cause muscular tension.

To understand why tension in those muscles can be so devastating, it is also important to know in what direction the muscle fibers are aligned.

Many of them are aligned in a way that will cause a vertical force during a spastic condition. This part of the body, the upper back, is ONE OF THE MOST NERVE RICH PARTS OF THE BODY and will therefore be more vulnerable for chemical substances.

I believe that biochemical factors and/or psychologic stress, in some cases, can be the last drop that makes the cup run over.
