There are some books mr. mm and I have come across that deal with the mind and something called neuroplasticity. The concept is that your brain has a tremendous influence on the body and can be rewired for dealing with conditions previously though to be incurable. The books contain some fascinating accounts.

They are:

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.

And two books by Norman Doidge:
The Brain that Heals Itself (his first book)

and

The Brain’s Way of Healing (His follow up to it)

All three are fascinating. There were some negative reviews of those books, but after reading them myself, they are really unjustified.

There is also a brain retraining program that sounds pretty interesting called

re-origin https://re-origin.com

The concept here is to train your mind to get into and stay in a relaxed state so that your body produces the DOSE chemicals that promote healing, as opposed to the other ones which suppress digestion and the immune response and promote inflammation.

Neuroplasticity is an amazing subject (amazing in just how adaptable the brain is).

Good info, thanks. Neuroplasticity is also related to trauma, I’ve learned.
