                    (or Psychoneuroimmunology

                    the science of mind/body medicine. Research has shown that

                    and immune system (..immunology) all communicate and connect

                    physiological and behavioural changes occur when the body
                    detects an infection. This response includes changes in liver
                    metabolism, raised temperature (fever), reduced food & water
                    intake, reduced exploration, reduced sexual activity and
                    increased anxiety. It also activates a classic stress response,
                    releasing hormones such as cortisol.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/131539AD-392A-4FF2-BF90-CF3CC34E5413/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
