When Doctor Speak About Placebo-Nocebo Effect
Sometimes …. when we want to heal so desperately we chase falsehood! AS YOU Scroll Through This Website You Will Learn About Your Options
Therefore what we must do is follow our own hearts and do what we think best….
If one does not believe in ones treatment why do that treatment in the first place. Its the small things through effort adding up to be big result. Sometimes they can be painful sometimes pleasurable but we learn from those experiences in Life. We therefore, must do our own research when it comes to battling terminal disease… Dis-ease is what in us in the first place.
In the human brain, the solitary nucleus (nucleus of the solitary tract, nucleus solitarius, nucleus tractus solitarii, NTS) is a series of nuclei (clusters of nerve cells) forming a vertical column of grey matter embedded in the medulla oblongata. Through the center of the NTS runs the solitary tract, a white bundle of nerve fibers, including fibers from the facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves, that innervate the NTS. The NTS projects to, among other regions in the brain, the reticular formation, parasympathetic preganglionic neurons, hypothalamus and thalamus, forming circuits that contribute to autonomic regulation. Cells along the length of the NTS are arranged roughly in accordance with function; for instance, cells involved in taste are located in the higher, more forward (“rostral”) part, while those regulating cardio-respiratory and gastrointestinal processes are found in the lower, more posterior (“caudal”) part.
Some experts also feel it is somewhere in the brain do to emotional conflict or chronic stress there in lays the cause of cancer.
Researchers have found a way to study how our brains assess the behavior — and likely future actions — of others during competitive social interactions. Their study, described in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to use a computational approach to tease out differing patterns of brain activity during these interactions, the researchers report.
“When players compete against each other in a game, they try to make a mental model of the other person’s intentions, what they’re going to do and how they’re going to play, so they can play strategically against them,” said University of Illinois postdoctoral researcher Kyle Mathewson, who conducted the study as a doctoral student in the Beckman Institute with graduate student Lusha Zhu and economics professor and Beckman affiliate Ming Hsu, who now is at the University of California, Berkeley. “We were interested in how this process happens in the brain.”
Therefore, as a child that uneasy feeling we got as a kid playing rock, scissors and paper. Knowing the result was out of our control… knowing today in this competitive world of not knowing what will occur next. Maybe it’s this anxiety that is occurring that is also giving us all this disease.
The hormone oxytocin is made at different levels in different people and it plays a role in regulating social behavior. A new University of Virginia study involving brain imaging finds that people with naturally higher levels of oxytocin in their blood show greater brain activity when processing social information.
“The purpose of the study was to investigate how people’s endogenous levels of oxytocin were related to brain activity when they viewed social interactions,” said Katie Lancaster, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology at the University of Virginia and first author of the study. “We found that people with higher oxytocin levels showed greater recruitment of brain regions that support social cognition, suggesting that these people are naturally attending to the more social aspects of the interactions. “People with low levels of oxytocin showed less recruitment of these ‘social brain’ areas; their brain activity resembles the patterns of neural activity previously observed when people focus on non-socially relevant information.”
The study has implications for better understanding how oxytocin interacts with cognition in both healthy people and people with disordered social behavior. For example, low levels of oxytocin have previously been associated with social deficits often found in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Maybe it is these levels of stress hormones in the brain that cause cancer to me·tas·ta·size?
For decades now, Western medicine has shunned the idea that the human mind is capable of affecting the health of the body, however, that’s all beginning to change. New age experts suggest that we can indeed heal ourselves by using our minds, but is there any science to back up such claims?
