That's so interesting. I have MS which is an auto-immune process and I've often wondered if it has come about partly because of my emotional stresses as much as from food choices. Dear Alison, Perhaps (?) you may find Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss helpful in this regard. Conversely, there is a book called "You are Not Your Illness" (Can't remember who wrote it) who thinks that Myss is full of it. Personally, I think Myss is really on to something and I find her book most inspiring. Both are available at Amazon. Stacie
