Madlyn,

Thanks for posting. I had it my "To Do" folder but am so far behind. It' funny because at first was thinking this had a loose connection to us here, then I started reading. Then my first thought was Rick's theory and connection to our childhood. This all makes perfect sense given how plastic our brains are in childhood.

Incidentally, this doctor wrote a book called "The Other Brain"; his whole premise is saying "there is more than just neurons" and their transmission at play in disease. He is focusing on glia cells as key in disease process.

Thanks! I plan on downloading the Kindle version shortly.

Rick,

They are getting there...newer field of psychoneuroendocrinology is emerging and their research on psycho-social aspects of disease origin especially looking at stress and HPA axis. I imagine neurology will be dragged kicking and screaming given their reaction to Zamboni's involvement of vascular system in MS.

Thanks for citations
