Your Immune system and stress

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body while still in its infancy has given researchers and those within the medical, social, and behavioural sciences reason to consider more than just biology and genetics when it comes to illness, health, and the treatment of disease.

Inflammation, a common indicator of immune response, links the diseases causing nearly 70% of U.S. deaths and is modulated by stress and adverse life events, It seems that even after a stress event is over the changes to your immune system remain as a signal in you brain and can lead cue immune dysregulation (Freeman, 2009; Fagundes, et al., 2012).

In a series of experiments known as the illness-induced, taste aversion studies, conducted by Robert Ader, the conditioned response was highly reproducible and lasted without consistent reinforcement. Importantly, in more than 30 animal studies when an immunosuppressive drug was paired with a neutral substance, which would cause no reaction alone, the neutral substance elicited a conditioned immunosuppressive response, and this response increased with additional exposures (Freeman, 2009).

In a study conducted to investigate the stress response in every-day life, researchers used urine samples to gather levels of immune response markers, psychological questionnaires to obtain data on emotional states, and surveys to assess daily routine activities. Schubert, et al.'s (2012) case study was chosen for the purpose of capturing what laboratory experiments often miss—the dynamic nature of stress. Importantly, the authors acknowledged as with the other studies, that a more specific assay for measuring the biochemical response to stress could be included, as well as a more precise assessment of the psychological components of every-day experience to shed additional light on its relationship with neurology and immunity.

So what does all this mean to you, well if you live a stressful life you will be more susceptible to contracting disease and inflammation, so it is important to remove these stressors at the earliest opportunity, and try to live a calm and carefree life.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University believe that chronic stress is associated with the bodies inability to regulate inflammation, which in turn helps promote the development and progression of disease.

The Immune system's ability to regulate inflammation predicts who will develop a cold, but more importantly, it provides an explanation of how stress can promote disease

Says lead Researcher Sheldon Cohen who goes on to say

When under stress, cells of the immune system are unable to respond to hormonal control, and the consequences, produce levels of inflammation that promote disease. Because inflammation plays a role in many diseases,such as cardiovascular, asthma and Autoimmune disorders, this model suggests why stress impacts them as well

This latest study builds on Cohens past research which was Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that showed that those suffering from psychological stress are more likely to develop colds. With the common cold, symptoms are not caused by the virus -- they are instead a "side effect" of the inflammatory response that is triggered as part of the body's effort to fight infection. The greater the body's inflammatory response to the virus, the greater is the likelihood of experiencing the symptoms of a cold.

Now I have been under some stress recently and developed a cold which is unusual for me soI was interested to learn about this research.

Nopalea Cactus Juice

At Long last my sore throat is under control, but it it has taken longer than expected. My standard of diet has been anti-inflammatory including drinking plenty of water, living in the tropics this is a natural part of life as it is essential to keep hydrated and flush toxins from the body.

Perhaps I have been eating a little too much carbohydrates which are known promoters of inflammation, however as a family we use a lot coconut oil which has very low 1.9% omega 6 level. I am getting good natural vitamin D from the natural sunlight, and often spend periods of time on my balcony looking at my garden and surroundings or reading a book.Vitamin D is powerful, natural anti-inflammatory,is one of the most powerful interventions for deterring inflammation.

The only thing that perhaps I need to consider changing is to eat fermented food, or probiotic-rich superfoods that can help to populate your gut with beneficial bacteria, and ensure that your digestive tract remains healthy and well-functioning. Fermented foods and beverages also help prevent harmful pathogens from taking hold within the body.

Its is amazing how such as small thing can put you of balance, and I am happy that I can now get back to my normal way of life.

Inflammation and Exhausts

Exhaust Fumes and Inflammation

My sore throat has continued to plague me for the past week and I just can't seem to shake it off, living in the Philippines means that the locals use many natural, herbal remedies to provide relief for minor ailment, so I have been subject to a number of massages to reduce the inflammation. The following is a list of sore throat home remedies that include herbs and essential oils which can be massaged into the throat. The essential oils should be diluted in a fixed oil, such as olive oil, almond oil, or peanut oil. Use one part essential oil to 10-20 parts olive oil.

• Capsicum extract
• Garlic oil
• Eucalyptus essential oil
• Lavender essential oil
• Lobelia extract
• Prickly ash bark tincture
• Red root tincture
• Rosemary essential oil
• Tea tree essential oil
• Thyme essential oil

I must say that tea tree oil does seem to be the most effective. but even that has not managed to relieve the congestion, of course the high humidly does not perhaps help matters and high humidly is known to increase joint inflammation. the body is a complex system and inflammation often occurs when things are out of balance.

Inflammation and Exhausts

Exhaust Fumes and Inflammation

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and then remembered that yesterday I had been doing some errands on my mountain bike in Dipolog city. I use my bike as the city is not designed for cars but has hundreds of motor scooters and tricycles all of which pump out fumes.

As roadways choke on traffic, all these tailpipe fumes are already implicated in heart disease, cancer and respiratory ailments—may also injure brain cells and synapses key to learning and memory.

No one knows whether regular commuters breathing heavy traffic fumes suffer any lasting brain effect. Researchers have only studied the potential impact based on where people live and where air-pollution levels are highest. Even if there were any chronic cognitive effect on drivers, it could easily be too small to measure reliably or might be swamped by other health factors such as stress, diet or exercise that affect the brain, experts say.

Recent studies show that breathing street-level fumes for just 30 minutes can intensify electrical activity in brain regions responsible for behaviour, personality and decision-making, changes that are suggestive of stress, scientists in the Netherlands recently discovered. Breathing normal city air with high levels of traffic exhaust for 90 days can change the way that genes turn on or off among the elderly; it can also leave a molecular mark on the genome of a newborn for life, separate research teams at Columbia University and Harvard University reported last year.

Maybe my sore throat is the least of my worries, it will clear up in a couple of days, but the quality of my life is suffering from something outwith my control. Yes I live in a relative traffic free gated community, but I still have to to go into the city for supplies, I might have to consider using a mask but that would make breathing harder, so then I can not ride as fast and so prolong my exposure, its a dilemma with no easy answer.
