There certainly isn't anything wrong about reading history. Some of it is really fascinating.
I've read some Lovecraft, quite a lot, in fact, though I didn't read the Mountains of Madness. Lovecraft is very interesting and very exciting, and it's very intrguing where did he get all those legends from. They seem to be too credible to be invented.
Yep. I've seen a friend stress themselves into needing medical intervention because their intestines essentially stopped functioning (part of the human 'fight or flight' response is a suppression in digestive processes). I've also personally had to deal with the effects of stress on my fibromyalgia. The physical ramifications of, for example, a death in the family are BRUTAL.
Have you read anything by Dr. Mona Lisa Shultzm in particular 'Awakening Intuition: Using Your Mind-Body Network for Insight and Healing'?
She has some other great books and an on-line call in program - you can access the most recent here: What's New | Dr Mona Lisa Schulz at one time you could listen to the archived programs, now you have to pay.
Sorry, but it sounds like mumbo jumbo to me. Been through job loss, deaths in my immediate family, etc, etc, and my intestines were normal...
I think these so called experts on the mind don't have a clue what they are talking about....
She's the only person I've seen get that severe, but, knowing a few people with 'irritable bowel syndrome', the link between stress and stomach upset becomes pretty clear. The physical changes that occur when someone is stressed (high blood pressure, high cholesterol) are pretty clearly documented by science.
I think that I have heard about this book, sounds very interesting. I think that I will have to try and get it from the library.
I'm about to re-read The Journeyer by Gary Jennings, a story about Marco Polo and his travels throughout the Middle East and Asia. Jennings book Aztec is also good. Just finished Hannibal by Thomas Harris. I'm also deep into the manual for my Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digtal ELPH. Can't wait for the movie.
