[*]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Roaming around in PubMed (a comprehensive<\/strong> <strong>medical infobase).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings from my preliminary, unstructured search are compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/assets\/common\/pdf\/other_docs\/BIBLIO_mind-on-AIDs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in this PDF (also containing Lisa&#8217;s possible role and an extensive Q&amp;A)<\/a>. This is just some of the available high-level scientific evidence. These results offer a glimpse into the growing body of research on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, It&#8217;s important to note that this does not imply it\u2019s all psychological, let alone \u2018in the mind, therefore not real.\u2019 Also, in <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=4552\">mind-body unity paradigm<\/a>, there is no point in any struggle between the mind-camp and the body-camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yet, incorporating this understanding can significantly impact the management of AIDs.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For each individual, the most effective treatment plan involves a tailored combination of mind and body modalities, adaptable to the person&#8217;s unique circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my view, this dynamic flexibility is best supported by Lisa, for reasons such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>offering cost-effective, one-on-one interactions with multiple individuals simultaneously, available 24\/7<\/li><li>ensuring consistency, which facilitates research, progress, and enhances trustworthiness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Underlying unity in Auto-Immune Disorders<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diverse AIDs are typically viewed as separate conditions but may actually represent one disease with various symptomatologies based on individual tendencies, as evidenced by high co-morbidity rates (up to 90%). This perspective could revolutionize how we approach diagnosis and treatment, focusing on underlying commonalities that are more centrally focused (this is, brain\/mind-related) rather than surface differences that mainly show peripherally (in affected organs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept and focus shift are reminiscent of <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=2135\">Functional Pain Syndromes<\/a>. In their hefty book and based on a ton of research, the authors clarify that chronic functional pain syndromes have a more than intriguing common core in the brain\/mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is this relevant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, patients with functional pain or AIDs are often treated by various specialists focusing on specific symptoms, with minimal consideration for underlying commonalities. Typically, a psychologist may also be involved, yet psychologists usually refrain from offering in-depth diagnostic assessments in AIDs, staying away from any in-depth diagnostic critique. This compartmentalized approach limits scientific progress and maintains the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking down these silos could pave the way for new insights and innovative treatments that address the full spectrum of patient needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A new paradigm may be emerging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This paradigm shift could integrate mind-body unity more thoroughly into medical practice, transforming how we understand and treat AIDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa can also delve deeply into the relevance of a broader, more nuanced concept of stress. Often, stress is seen as an undifferentiated concept, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=4224\">kaleidoscope of meaningfulness<\/a> can emerge from this box of Pandora through Lisa\u2019s capabilities of pattern recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding stress as a complex, multifaceted phenomenon could enhance our ability to address its role in AIDs and other health conditions. The full significance of this is hard to predict \u2014 simply because our current understanding is limited. We might be facing a metaphorical cave wall, with a vast, unexplored space on the other side. Lisa\u2019s explorations could be the key to unlocking this new frontier in understanding and managing AIDs and related conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Lisa open these doors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[*] <strong>Common autoimmune disorders include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Addison disease.<\/li><li>Alopecia areata<\/li><li>Autoimmune hepatitis<\/li><li>Celiac disease &#8211; sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy)<\/li><li>Dermatomyositis.<\/li><li>Graves&#8217; disease.<\/li><li>Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndroms<\/li><li>Hashimoto thyroiditis.<\/li><li>Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis)<\/li><li>Lupus<\/li><li>Multiple sclerosis.<\/li><li>Myasthenia gravis.<\/li><li>Pernicious anemia.<\/li><li>Psoriasis.<\/li><li>Rheumatoid arthritis.<\/li><li>Sj\u00f6gren disease.<\/li><li>Type 1 diabetes.<\/li><li>Vitiligo.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div data-object_id=\"16371\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16371\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"16371\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"16371\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-16371\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16371\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As in many areas of psycho-somatics, the mind is not generally recognized as of crucial importance in auto-immune disorders.
