Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI)
The big buzz words in medicine now are “Body-Mind Relationship,” and PSI (psycho-neuro-immunology), talking about the inter-connectedness of the mind, the nervous system and other systems in the body.
Term can be broken in three parts-
P – “Psycho” means the emotions of a body, thinking process and mood fling of an individual. N – “Neuro” refers to the neurological systems, like reflex systems and neuroendocrine system. I – “Immunology” is the cellular structure and immune system constitution.
PNI is a study of mind over body effect. PNI determine and ascertain the influence of thought process and mind on an Individual\’s immune system.
Toxic emotions of have been found to be medically significant in prognosis of today’s many diseases like those of cardio-vascular origins, cancer, immune-hormone system failure,Hypertension,Diabetes, to less serious ones like spondylitis, acne, psoriasis, asthma, migraine, chronic fatigue Syndrome ,fibromyalgia. etc.
(Fibromyalgia (FM) is an intriguing and complex syndrome, and remains a medical enigma. Symptoms include widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain, stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue, and sleep disturbances.)
The immune system in our body produces chemicals like cytokine, lymphokines and interleukins, which can alter the function of our nervous system, by sensitizing hormone pathways.
The effect which thought process can have on life has been proved by many people who have tried prayer, meditation, yoga, counseling, positive thinking, by putting their faith and trust in God. Cancers have been healed, situations changed for the better, success ensured – all through positive application of the mind, which influences the emotions, which in turn influence health and life.
A common reaction to stressful situation is to try to escape at least temporarily, by taking a break or going to a bar, having a smoke, all in pursuit of peace and relief. But this only adds to the toxins in your body and does not attempt to deal with the underlying causes.
Modern living has made humans so stress-prone. The abandoning of spiritual values means everybody is never satisfied with what they have, and profit-and-success-driven mentality means everyone is working harder to achieve more and more, often at the expense of other more important things in life, and increasing stress.
When dealing with stress, we have to change our mindsets, goals, values, and to be more spiritual. Being spiritual mean being wiser and godlier, not necessarily a religious fanatic.
If the paramount attributes of God are love, mercy and compassion, then the spiritual person will exude love, mercy and compassion in his (or her) personality. Such a person brings peace to himself and to everyone around him.
PNI and Christian Faith
There is a possible connection between illness and a person’s relationship with God. Sin is a state where you are being separated from God. If one disobey Gods Law, one will get the reward, may it be illness, death or whatever. The history of salvation shows us that illness is a consequence of sin. But the Lord will shower his merciful forgiveness on those sinners who humbly repent.
Jesus heals sickness and banishes sin. He therefore teaches us that there is a link between sin and illness which is a fundamental law. This does not happen in every individual case,(e.g.-healing the blind man- St. John 9:3- His blindness does not result from any fault he or his parents had committed but apparently from God’s wish to reveal his own healing power. But one should not be like the blind Pharisees)
When you go thru reconciliation, forgiveness absolution etc, and several changes take place in your immune and nervous system and subsequently one gets healed.
However, if one takes a closer look at modern genetics and psycho-neuro-immunological findings, one may come to a better understanding of how miracle healings are linked to man’s inner life and his religiousness. Many diseases have genetic backgrounds. Defective genes, however, do not necessarily lead to subsequent illness. Genes have to be switched on or off. Only activated genes trigger pathological change. The human brain and all of man’s thinking and feeling are intimately connected with such activations. We may thus conclude that both inner life and religious outlook on life are relevant to the origin and development of diseases.
So if you are ill and wants to be healed, Let us go to Jesus Christ, the all powerful psychic surgeon of fourth dimension of PNI, who can surgically remove all the Toxic deposits from our mind and body, and get us healed, leaving no visible scars, marks or any pain.
May God bless us and heal you all.
