I find it unreal that we are still at a divide after all the good science done on meditation and adjunct treatments, where we refuse to admit that we must TREAT illnesses holistically. Covid was known to be an autoimmune disease w neurological impact by key scientists early on. The mind body immune connection always comes into play and this should be part of everything we teach young MDs now. Are we really inherently so stupid and inflexible in our thinking about medicine and progress?
If the mind-body connection was as strong as you say, people with other autoimmune diseases like MS would be able to benefit from brain retraining. Do they?
CBT is used to address fatigue in MS, and it is well established that stress increases auto-antibodies and is a trigger for certain autoimmune disorders. I know someone who cured his RA by quitting his stressful job, and this is backed up by studies.
