PNI is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body.
CCA AIM Autoimmune Talk
Autoimmune Mastery (AIM) is a program devoted to working with those diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. This slide show was presented to the 2015 CCA Annual Conference on April 10th, 2015 by Katie Mason, Albert Stern, and Robin Hutchinson.
Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between psychological processes, the nervous system, and the immune system. A study led by Professor Shamgar Ben-Eliyahu found that psychological and physiological stress throughout surgery impairs immune system functioning, which can promote cancer recurrence. Blocking stress hormones before and after surgery through drugs was shown in animal models to reduce cancer metastases and potentially increase long-term survival rates in cancer patients by up to 300% by boosting the immune system.
Health psychology 1
This document discusses the history and evolution of health psychology as a discipline. It describes health psychology according to Joseph Matarazzo as focusing on promoting health, preventing and treating illness, identifying causes of illness, and improving healthcare systems. The document then outlines several historical perspectives on health and illness, from early concepts of the humors to modern biopsychosocial models. It also discusses factors like behaviors, cognition, emotions, environment, and genetics that influence health according to current models in health psychology.
IFM: The New Paradigm of Medicine
This was developed by the Institute for Functional Medicine. It provides a concise explanation of the new paradigm of medicine that focuses on underlying causes of disease and treatment from that level rather treating symptoms alone, the approach often taken by modern medicine. The presentation clearly differentiates between these approaches and discusses how they can be used in a complementary fashion to benefit patients. We included this presentation here because it explains how testing such as that provided by Metametrix is being used to identify underlying causes of health problems.
Managing Stress Through Leisure
The document discusses various aspects of stress, stress management, and leisure. It defines stress as a state that exceeds one's coping abilities and outlines the physiological response to stress. Chronic stress can negatively impact physical and mental health. Identifying stress involves psychological, emotional, physical, and behavioral signs. Stressors include physiological and psychological factors. Stress management involves changing stressful situations, reactions, self-care, and making time for rest. Complementary approaches include alternative medicine, integrative medicine, and healthy leisure activities like physical activity and social interaction.

Psychoneuroimmunology notes
PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY (PNI) is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.
Medical & social aspects of people’s health. The GP's role in popularization ...
The document discusses various aspects of medical and social health, including definitions of health, pre-illness states, and risk factors. It defines health as a complex interaction between biological, social, economic, and environmental factors. It describes pre-illness states as having decreased organ function but still maintaining homeostasis. It categorizes risk factors as modified (can be influenced) and unmodified (cannot be influenced) as well as external and internal. Some examples of risk factors discussed are smoking, stress, diet, physical activity level, and genetics. The document also outlines approaches to reducing risk factors such as encouraging smoking cessation, physical activity, healthy diet, stress management, and disease screening/prevention efforts.
The Mind Body Relationship
This document discusses the history of theories regarding the relationship between the mind and body in the development of disease. It covers ancient beliefs that disease resulted from evil spirits or humoral imbalances. It then discusses the rise of psychosomatic medicine in the 1900s and the idea that emotional conflicts could cause physical illness. Finally, it notes that while early theories are not scientifically rigorous, modern understanding recognizes the interconnection between physical, psychological, and social factors in health.

Fibromyalgia: a clinical approach
Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common chronic pain condition that affects at least 2% of the adult population. Chronic widespread pain is the defining feature of FM, but patients may also exhibit a range of other symptoms, including sleep disturbance, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches and mood disorders. While the aetiology of the condition is not completely understood, it is believed that a number of factors (rather than one in isolation) are most likely to lead to its development. Thus, the onset of fibromyalgia syndrome can be influenced by hormonal and/or chemical imbalances, chronic stress and/or a traumatic event, genetic predisposition and even pre-existing illness.
In this hour-long webinar, Dr Nina Bailey covers:
• An overview of the aetiology of fibromyalgia
• The signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia
• Factors that can contribute to or exacerbate fibromyalgia syndrome
• Managing symptoms via dietary manipulation and lifestyle change
• Supporting nutrients/supplements for those with fibromyalgia syndrome
Alternative medicine - what every IVF specialist needs to know
The document discusses the relationship between conventional/Western medicine and alternative/complementary medicine (CAM). It argues that doctors should keep an open mind about CAM and acknowledge that many patients use alternative therapies. Alternative medicine can help patients feel a sense of control and empowerment. The document also notes that CAM treatments like acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and yoga may help address stress and fertility issues through various mechanisms. Overall, it advocates for an integrative approach that combines conventional medicine with CAM in a patient-centered way.

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of how the mind and brain can affect immune system function. Research has shown that positive emotions can protect heart health while pessimism and suppressed anger increase health risks.
Personality types like Type A, B, C, and D can impact health outcomes. Type A personalities are competitive and hostile and at higher risk for heart disease. Type D personalities are prone to negative thinking and isolation and at higher risk for heart issues and depression.
Emotional states like anger, hostility, perfectionism, low self-esteem, worry, anxiety, fear and depression can negatively impact physical health, particularly heart and immune system function. Grief and depression can impair the immune
Health psycohology
Health psychology is a growing field that applies psychological principles to health and healthcare. It focuses on understanding how biological, psychological, and social factors influence health and illness. Health psychologists work in various healthcare settings like primary care, hospitals, and specialty areas. They aim to promote healthy behaviors, prevent illness, and improve treatment outcomes. Key aspects of health psychology include understanding how stress, personality, behaviors, and social support impact health; developing models of healthcare delivery that integrate psychological care; and recognizing the mind-body connection central to approaches like homeopathy.
Introduction to Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the study of the interactions between psychological processes, the central nervous system, and the immune system. It takes an interdisciplinary approach incorporating fields like psychology, neuroscience, immunology, and behavioral medicine. Key concepts of PNI include how stress, emotions, and mental states can influence immune function, and vice versa. The field has grown significantly in recent decades as advances in related fields provide more evidence of the complex connections between the brain, mind, and body. PNI may help explain mechanisms linking psychological factors to health and disease.
Fibro, Fog and Fatigue
This document discusses chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), which are conditions with overlapping symptoms including fatigue, pain, and brain fog. CFS affects about 3 in 1000 Americans, while FMS affects 3-6 million in the US. Both conditions can be triggered by infections, stress, autoimmune diseases or hormonal imbalances. Modern medicine has had limited success treating these complex syndromes. The author describes his RISE and SHINE approach to integrative and functional treatment which focuses on reducing inflammation, improving sleep, hormonal balance, immunity, nutrition, and energy levels through diet, lifestyle changes, and natural supplements.

Psych and soma
The document discusses the relationship between the psyche (mind) and soma (body). It outlines how medical conditions can present with psychiatric symptoms, and how psychological factors can influence medical conditions and symptoms. Specific examples are given of psychosomatic disorders where psychological factors affect medical problems, like cardiovascular, autoimmune and gastrointestinal issues. The document also discusses somatoform and dissociative disorders where psychological factors cause physical symptoms without identifiable medical causes.
Complementary and alternative medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to medical systems and practices that are not part of conventional medicine. Around 40% of adults in the United States report using some form of CAM. Common reasons for using CAM include dissatisfaction with conventional medicine, a preference for natural treatments, and a focus on overall wellness rather than just disease treatment. Physicians should be knowledgeable about CAM practices their patients may use, as some can interact harmfully with conventional treatments or be dangerous if used incorrectly. The document outlines various CAM modalities like herbal supplements, acupuncture, yoga and traditional medical systems; discusses integrated medicine approaches; and emphasizes the importance of physicians maintaining open and non-judgmental discussions with patients about all treatment options.
2 concepts of health disease
This document discusses various concepts of health and disease. It defines health using the WHO definition of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Health has multiple dimensions including physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual, and vocational. Disease is defined as impairment, disability, or handicap. Causes of disease can include agents, hosts, and environmental factors. Theories of disease causation discussed include germ theory and the epidemiological triad model of agent-host-environment interactions. Health is a dynamic concept across a spectrum from positive health to illness and death.
Health psychology
This document discusses health psychology and stress. It defines stress and outlines types of stress such as acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress. It examines the relationship between stress and health, including how stress can impact the immune system. The document also explores coping strategies for dealing with stress, such as physical, cognitive, and social strategies. Finally, it provides recommendations for managing stress, including relaxation, maintaining social support systems, maintaining a positive outlook, and prioritizing self-care.
Stress and yoga therapy for stress induced disorders
This document summarizes a presentation on using yoga therapy to treat stress-induced psychosomatic disorders. It discusses how stress can lead to various physical ailments like acidity, asthma, and diabetes by causing the body's stress response systems to remain activated long-term. Conventional medical treatments only address symptoms and not the underlying mental stress. Yoga therapy provides an alternative approach that works on both the physical and mental aspects of these stress-linked disorders.
Chapter 10
The document discusses stress, its effects on health, and ways of coping. It defines stress and identifies sources of stress both external (environmental factors, life events) and internal (thought patterns, conflicts). Chronic stress can negatively impact the immune system and contribute to disease over time. Unhealthy behaviors are common coping strategies but are ultimately damaging to health. The document outlines problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies and the role of social support in managing stress.
C14
This chapter discusses stress and health, including:
1) Stress is the process of perceiving and responding to threatening or challenging events, and can be appraised as a threat or challenge.
2) Prolonged stress can lead to exhaustion through stages of alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion as described in the general adaptation syndrome.
3) Stressful life events like catastrophes, life changes, and daily hassles can impact health.
4) Stress can influence health through behaviors, emotions, and physiological responses.

Health psychology
Health psychology investigates psychological factors related to wellness and illness, including stress, coping mechanisms, and their effects on health. Stress can be categorized as cataclysmic events, personal stressors, or background stressors, and has physiological effects like increased hormone secretion and immune system weakening. Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome theory describes the three stages of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion in response to stressors. Psychoneuroimmunology studies the relationship between psychological factors, the immune system, and the brain in relation to stress outcomes. Coping strategies include problem-focused or emotion-focused coping, and effective coping involves turning threats into challenges or changing goals.

Emotion13
Emotion is defined as having cognitive, physiological, and behavioral components. The limbic system, specifically the amygdala, plays an important role in emotions like fear and rage. The right hemisphere of the brain is also active during emotional displays and damage can leave one emotionally indifferent. Emotions produce sympathetic nervous system responses like increased heart rate and respiration. Plutchik's theory proposes eight primary emotions that combine to form secondary emotions. James-Lange and Cannon-Bard theories differ on the temporal order of physiological and emotional awareness during emotional experiences. Culture influences the expression and meaning of emotions through display rules.
