Anyone hear of " The Immune systm: The mind-body connection.

I got this in the mail " Who gets sick and who stays well, by Nick R.S.Hall, PHD. It's a six hour seminar for health professionals.

I found this brochure online. Sounds interesting.

In my experience, there is definitely a strong connection between state of mind and staying alive, but I'm not so sure that there is a connection with the immune system. We seem to have quite a good cross section here on the Forum, but I would say that it tends towards the healthy and positive rather than the sickly and negative.

Yeah, I agree. I think that if positive attitude was the way to health we would all be in the pink of it.

I think it is too many variables to figure this WG thing out. I true believe we have a genetic disposition first and then something triggers it....

Totaly agree with your theory

Strangely enuff I come from a superhealthy family. Father had some heartproblems after 55, mother got totally dementic at 60. I got this peculiar thing at 68. So I wonder, can't think of anything traumatic at that time.

[Sangye]

Moyan, heart problems at 55 and dementia at 60 is not healthy! Both take many years to develop before they're diagnosed.

[moyan]

Hi Sangye, hope you are feeling better. Father died at 70 and mom at 80.

[Sangye]

So your mom lived 20 yrs with dementia? How sad for you, Moyan. That must have been extremely painful to watch.
