I think all members should take Berta's complaint, which is probably a persistant problem in most of us, very, very seriously. The mind body connection is more documented now than it ever has and we have empirical data to substantiate these theories. When you are under stress, mental or physical, the mind tells the adrenals to produce cortisol, which has been dubbed the stress hormone. The attached is a good primer EXCEPT, I wouldn't advise anyone with breast (and related) cancers to take DHEA as it is a precursor to all other sex hormones. It can become both testosterone and estrogens. Stress reduction is well studied and I think that Tricia's mental imagery posts are a great example of using the stress response productively. I know we can't just forget about cancer but we also can't let this consume us.....
