Influenza H1N1 and the world wide economic crisis - A model of coherence?
A recent published model described the phenomenon of a global panic reaction (GPR) on the stock markets based on two remarkable stock market crashes in the months of January and March [Sperling W, Bleich S, Reulbach U, Black Monday on stock markets throughout the world - a new phenomenon of collective panic disorder? A psychiatric approach. Med Hypotheses; 2008]. This model was completed by a therapeutic approach following typical elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) [Sperling W, Biermann T, Maler JM, Global panic reaction - a therapeutic approach to a world-wide economic crisis. Med Hypotheses; 2009]. The phenomenon of a global panic reaction due to economic crises seems to have even larger implications on human health as well. It is well known that acute and chronic distress is competent to suppress the immune system by various mechanisms that are discussed in detail. This global panic reaction - that has also been observed in former times - might therefore be responsible for the new variation of recent influenza pandemic coming from Mexico.

When someone has high blood pressure or hypertension there is increased stress on the walls of their arteries. This can result in increased risk that a person can develop heart disease, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries, eye damage, and even stroke. Even though many people with hypertension may not know it, they may also suffer from insomnia, dizziness, or different types of headaches. Medical authorities say the best way to check for hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked. However, this normally happens only during a medical exam. This means that people should receive...
When I work with bodybuilders, I teach them the relationship between how they conceive the shape of their body and how it actually is. Going further, I show them how by changing their mental image of their body, they can actually accelerate improving their strength, building up muscle mass, and burning off fat. Even though most people are more concerned about losing a few pounds and improving their physical fitness and not winning a bodybuilding competition, these lessons may very well apply to them as well.
The brain maintains a map of every organ and cell of our body. When we are ill, a...
