It's interesting isn't it?
All those kids that get sick at school are experiencing an evironmental and mental double-whammy - more bacteria and viruses and an emotional state of stress to suppress the immune system. No wonder so many kids get sick at school.
What I suspect will happen is that schools will start teaching the importance of mental balance. Something perhaps similar to the 'emotional maturity' stuff they would teach in health classes in grade school. I know several folks who are in very high stress situations who are sick far more than average and now we start to see that its not just the relationship between stress and high blood pressure that is obvious but the links between stress and ALL other diseases.
As I mentioned above, it's a wake up call. I know that when I am balanced in my outlook everything goes swimmingly. As soon as I fall off the balance beam I am more likely to catch a head cold, have a persistant head ache etcetera. The positive mind and healthy body connection, for me anyways, has been clearly proven.
I envy the future generations who will be blessed with this stuff as common knowledge when hate and dissension will be reduced by appealing to everyone's self-preservation instinct and desire to be healthy. Not utopia - but a vast improvement over today's world.
