Not only is it known, it's old news. Exact sites I can't supply at the mom=
ent. It's all part of the mind-body connection. What originates in the mi=
nd is manifested in the body. Ulcers, for example (bacterial infections no=
twithstanding). Skin disorders. It's long known that stress causes flareu=
ps of just about everything. Mind-body work goes back to at least the 80's=
when it began to go mainstream. This isn't to say that disorders aren't c=
aused by bacteria, poor nutrition (lack of Vitamin D is connected now to mu=
ltiple sclerosis for example), genetic predispositions and other causes, bu=
t a huge percentage of physical disorders originate in the mind. Ailments =
as diverse as knee problems and Parkinson's Disease have responded to "ghos=
t surgery" where the patient is convinced surgery was performed when surger=
y in fact was not performed. Relaxation techniques are proven to reduce ch=
ronic pain. The University of Massachusetts Hospital has a whole departmen=
t on this. Newsweek ran a cover story on it not too long ago. Old news, a=
s I say, at least since the 80's.
