MIND-BODY INTERACTIONS AND DISEASE. (book) Edited by Nick Hall, Susan Blumenthal, and Fred Altman.

This still timely classic was commissioned by the National Institutes of Health to provide a record of the seminal studies that defined the field of Psychoneuroimmunology. The authors of the more than thirty chapters describe the groundbreaking research that gave rise to a new field of medicine. This book is for the person who is seeking a clear understanding of how the brain and immune system interact, especially in the context of illness. Laboratory and clinical studies are described by a who’s who of Psychoneuroimmunology scientists. You’ll learn about a group of women with breast cancer who lived an average of 18 months longer through participation in a behavioral intervention. You’ll discover how one’s state of mind can become a biological advantage that can improve the health of those with a dysfunctional immune system, as well as the links between the emotions of stress and chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and tuberculosis.

HOW TO FEEL BETTER: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND INFLAMMATION (CD) By Nick Hall.

Discover why countless health problems may have inflammation as a common denominator and how an anti-inflammatory diet can lessen the pain and other symptoms. This program provides a clear understanding of the immune system and how it works. However, it also delves into the link between personality and autoimmunity, the way too much immunity triggers depression, and the link between the immune system and chronic fatigue, cancer and heart disease. Perhaps most important is a discussion of  the steps you can take to achieve a state of optimal health.
