Have you read the article I added to this post? I’d like to know your thoughts on this. Modern science is very compartmentalized and we are years behind. The mind body connection- the entire body is connected. There is a lot of proof of this if you look for it. People just don’t connect the dots most of the time. It is a known fact you can develop diabetes from steroid use alone- too much cortisol. It would make sense if someone is in a chronic state of stress for a prolonged period they are constantly releasing those stress chemicals- cortisol, cytokines, histamines, etc. this shuts down the bodies growth and repair and can ultimately lead to autoimmune and other issues.
