Psychoneuroimmunology - have your heard of this?

Psychoneuroimmunology is the science relating to the effects the brain has over the immune system.

Now I have long known this. It is not based on empiracle research. It is based on observations of people.

In 1986 I noticed the relationship between stress and colds/flu. It occured to me that people who looked after someone with dementia usually ended up sick in bed when they were given a rest i.e. the person with dementia was admitted for respite care. The first week was forced rest, the second week was recovery and then the person went home again and the cycle continued.

However I did notice that the carer was never able to continuing careing much after this. Their body could not reach the same level of functioning.

You see, for any disease or illness to occur there has to be a host. This host has to create the right environment for it to thrive.

Now scientists are validating this. Interesting mmmmmmmmm
