Thanks Jim Dohn - I had wondered what his disease was called - for those who
don't yet know, Norman Cousins is the person who learned that laughter decreased
his inflammation, similar to large doses of vitamin C. Actually, his
inflammation sedimentation marker if I remember correctly.

Some naturopathic doctors - and MD's, have found out that interferon and other
immune system biochemical activities are increased by love. In Chinese
Medicine, the heart is known as the Emperor organ.

Hi Carol,

A great classic book about this condition is Norman Cousin's "Anatomy of an
Illness". It doesn't mention much about SI or bodywork but it is very
telling about the condition. AS is considered to be "autoimmune" which means "we
don't know".

Keep learning....

And let us know how you do.
