You forgot to deliver the twin
(Mind-Body Medicine)
mysterious healing of incurable malignant cancer
can be explained by
biological variability
but that doesn't help understand the methods of healing
:bulb:
can mind-body medicine explain it?
mind-body medicine would imply mind can exert control over body to manifest into physiological changes
women having intense desire or aversion to have a baby may develop all the signs of pregnancy except the baby
the occurrence of false pregnancy(pseudocyesis or phantom pregnancy) is rare
doctors have hypothetically attributed pseudocyesis to tiny prolactin secreting tumors in the pitutary or ovarian region
But cases where patient suffering pseudocyesis have modulated symptoms of swollen abdomen in mere hours or days, raises doubts that tumors can create such symptoms
A lot of pregnancy symptoms are a result of follicle stimulating hormones and prolactin inhibition fator
these in turn are majorly governed by
joy transmitters
, dopamine and norepinephrine
is there a special kind of depression associated with being childless in a child obsessed culture
How does a highly specified wish or delusion originating in the neocortex get translated by the hypothalamus to induce FSH reduction and prolactin elevation
Pseudocyesis
might be mystery which lies in no mans land of mind and body
Warts are small rough growths on skin caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)
Doctors have demonstrated that warts can disappear after sessions of hypnosis
Warts and hypnosis are far too common than pseudocyesis
thus, providing us with a much more frequent opportunity to study mind-body medicine
Effects of
learned association
. on immune system also provides a gateway to explore mind-body medicine
Asthma have shown to form associations with just a mere visualisation of a particular flower like rose and bronchial constriction
sometimes the association were formed even though the flowers were
plastic
Scientist have successfully demonstrated effects of learned association in mice
Experiments lead mice to form association with saccharine and nausea
Multiple personality disorder is another unexplored topic that may be highly relevant to mind-body medicine
Some MPD patients have shown different vital signs and hormone profiles when they inhabit different personalities
one personality is diabetic while the other is not
one is allergic to a substance while other is not
one is myopic while the other has a near 20-20 vision
