"Dr. Steve Pieczenik's case is a perfect example. Several years ago he was diagnosed with mature-onset asthma, for which he was prescribed steroids and an inhaler. He refused to take these medications because he knew that they would cause their own adverse effects. Instead, he made an appointment with Dr. John Neustadt, who ordered a comprehensive biochemical screen that tested more than 450 variables of biochemical function. Biochemical testing revealed the underlying cause for Dr. Pieczenik’s asthma. His symptoms resulted from an inability to produce the hormone epinephrine, which is a bronchodilator, because he became deficient in copper, which is required to convert the amino acid tyrosine to epinephrine. Within 2 weeks of starting the therapy to realign his copper, all of his breathing difficulties stopped and he has had no breathing problem since then."

| How you think and feel may affect your biology. The amygdala connects both the hypothalamus and the brain stem. The amygdala registers threats/stress and signals adrenal glands to flood the body with stress hormones (which also suppress the immune system). The more demanding the cognitive task, the greater the amygdala and cingulate cortex activation. Physical problems such as cardiac changes and asthma may be triggered/influenced by thought. 3/17/2006 sciencejournal@wsj.com |
