It's noted in a couple of books I've read, one of them being Malcolm Gladwell's latest book. The Italians, too, are very community-oriented and the results of the study were basically the same as that noted in Lynne's Blog on the Japanese. I'm not sure why America has lost it's way. I yearn for the June & Ward Cleaver days. Now when you ask if you can help someone, they look at you like you're from Mars! I think I need to move again...preferably to a more family/friend-oriented society, not the corporate society.

There is much truth in the expression "losing heart". In a similar vein Our "liver" and "Pancreas (world creator)" relate to our willingness to continue to live and create our reality. With regard to smoking, when I finally was able to quit, at an EST six day event, I discovered that what made it so difficult to quit was that I had become a very shallow breather. The only time I took a deep drag of oxygen was when a took a drag on a cigarette. This habit of shallow breathing is all due to fear. Not necessarily something special but just accumulated worry, discomfort and self consciousness. There are only two things going on with us. It is all either love or fear. Dinesh (comment above) says it beautifully. Marilyn Many of the answers to dis-ease can be found in our language. There is much truth in the expression “losing heart”.

Also with the negative consequences of the practices of Romanian orphanages. As long as we're in the mind-body-spirit configuration this wisdom holds! And what of socialization in the afterlife? It would seem that the same rule must hold. We are social beings, united in the One. Syme’s results correlate with the British findings with babies and the advantages of touching and holding.

How one deals with the stress is important, especially how one deals with it internally. This seems to point to emotional intelligence. Hmmmh...health researchers ought to look at how emotional intelligence influences overall physical health.

The article has been entered twice. The second half begins with the words, "In the 1960s, Len Syme, the first sociologist....." If this was done by mistake, it would have been very interesting to have continued the article into further explanation of the issues already introduced in the first half instead of this iteration.

Its the feeling of being recognized, attended and more than anything else, being loved. Being in a group absorbs and relieves some of the daily stress, worries and anxieties which otherwise would bottle up if the person doesn't find an avenue to vent it out. The industrialized society puts so much pressure on delivering output, the mindset is focused on external activities, does not find a scope to go inwards and observe emotional aspects. If a person is aware, he/she can perform some sort of spiritual activity to go within and release the emotional baggage which otherwise get accumulated and cause diseases later. Once toxic emotions are released one can reach the underlying peace and love within. Love is unquestionably the primary factor in transmuting the diseases, which are all mental faculties in the first place. Lack of love leads to overeating, watching excessive TV, constantly regretting on the past and worrying about the future. All those actions are futile attempts to substitute love. Healing can happen fast if we radiate that feeling of love and light to the target person and assure "I am with you" warmness.

Our society in America doesn't value this support network and family as much as other countries do. I feel lucky to have a great support system and can't remember the last time I was sick.
