I have a question since I am performing a bit of research and require some expert advice in the avenue of PSYCHOIMMUNOLOGY. This is the scenario:

A 72 yr old male with just about perfect health 120/70 blood pressure, went for yearly physicals, breathing test as part of the overall physical all was excellent.

The only drug this individual was on was Lipator and he would go see the doctor every 6-8 weeks religiously to have a liver function test since lipator has sometimes an adverse reaction on the liver.. No issue, he would get his bp check all the time- no issue.

Approximately a 450lb tree limb fell on this individuals car in turn he was brought to the hospital for a check up. No breaks.

During the months that followed his wife noticed his health decline and he aged almost over night. He got a touch of pneumonia and the Doctor gave him some anti-biotic. On an xray the doctor saw something like a shadow.

He said let the medication kick in and when you get back from vacation we will check you out.

Upon his return, and subsequent tests the analysis revealed a 4” x 7” patch of cancer in the lower left lobe of his lung. The doctor gave him 3-6 weeks to live.

The written exam was sent to an oncologist who determined that the patch in the man’s lung had been there for 10 yrs or longer.

He had no breathing difficulty, no issue in any way during those years.

His wife of almost 45yrs stated that he was in perfect health up until the accident; his doctor was also amazed as his patient for 20+yrs had been stricken by this disease.

The Man died 6weeks later.

I have been performing a lot of research and find that the doctors of medicine (general practioners and oncologists) can not define this issue of trauma or stress causing a dormant malignancy to propagate. The papers that I have read elude to those two factors causing illness.. Although when you place those two factors within the umbrella of PTSD the conclusion is more tangible, furthermore, from the aspect of psychology and in turn PSYCHOIMMUNOLOGY or psycho-neurology which is the title of where immunology comes under, the case is completely different.

A severe trauma or stress situation can in turn affect the immunity of the person that was in perfect health, involved in the accident or stress and cause degradation of their health as it did with this man.
I will asked a two-fold question, the first is in an extreme trauma such as the one mentioned – I have read via PSYCHOIMMUNOLOGY that it is likely a dormant or even a non-dormant illness may arise in a perfectly healthy person who has experience serious trauma or stress is this true?

Hi, I have a bit of a complex case but would appreciate all help I can get. We’ll start from the beginning. Last week, I had severe stomach pain, went to the ER, they did nothing, saw a GI and he put me on anti-ulcer meds and assumed I had ulcers (since I’ve had them before). Before this (and for about 3 years now) I’ve had severe pain in my lower left quadrant along with nausea, diarrhea and as said before, very severe pain. I had a colonoscopy done (but the doctor lost the pictures – I have switched) and they found nothing. Now, I’ve noticed today that there is a strong heartbeat in my upper abdomen. I could feel it standing and laying down. Here are some stats – I’m a 19 yr old female, 5’11", 141 lbs., 90-57 blood pressure (as of last friday) and otherwise healthy girl besides the stomach issues. If anyone can tell me why I could be having these heart beats in my stomach – it’s just a totally new thing and I’m so tired of feeling like my body is aging way before it’s supposed to. I see my GI on Thursday so I’ll definitely bring it up with him, but I haven’t been stressed, am definitely NOT pregnant (took 2 tests the other day) and a-ok. Let me know what you all think. Thank you very very much. I appreciate it.

My doctor recently put me on a low carb diabetic diet. I am not a diabetic – yet. I have a very high insulin resistance in which he wants to treat with diet and exercise and diabetic meds. I have been charting everything I eat, the calories, the fat grams, the carbs, fiber and protein. However, since my carbs have decreased, it seems that my fat intake has increased – at least it seems that way in the pie chart. Is it possible to reduce the fat AND carbs? The doc wants me under 35 carbs a day which is extremely hard to do as it is. It seems like the lower fat foods have a higher carb content and the higher fat foods have a lower carb content. I am concerned about my blood lipids, blood pressure and overall heart health. I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice you may have to offer.

Thanks!
Oh, the reason I am so insulin resistant is due to the PCOS that I was diagnosed with a year ago. It’s sypmtoms have started to take over my body very quickly and has deemed me infertile, unless I can drop and control my insulin levels ASAP.

I really need to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. What is a diet that would address these issues?? I just realized that my microwave meals are LOADED with sodium. I am not a very good cook, also.
