Re: sit down, relax, chill out--stress response encourages metastases (can be blocked

I posted a different type of stress study in the articles forum: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...eferrerid=1173

This wasn't done in mice, it was done in a petri dish, however, what was learned is that stress, psychological or physical, induces a heat shock protein response in the body that protects tissues, and, since the protein is indiscriminate, it ends up protecting cancer cells as well as healthy cells. The biology is going to respond, even if the brain tells it not to.
