Psychoneuroimmunology and Antiaging

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of how the mind affects the nervous and immune system. On this page we will explore it’s importance in aging and wellness, and ways in which you can optimize this connection between mind and immune system.

Practical Application

My focus on this page will be to show how applied Psychoneuroimmunology can be used in a wellness and antiaging program, by optimizing the function of your immune system. Special focus will be on self hypnosis meditation technology such as H.P.P.

This is a highly complex subject and still not well understood by medical science. However studies have confirmed a link between emotional and mental states and a persons ability to recover from illness.

Since we know that a person’s mental and emotional states affect their health, we can use techniques for stress relief and positive thinking to help them stay well, and help them recover if they are ill. There are a number of tools and techniques to achieve this.

A Few Relaxation Strategies

My review of these systems will focus on the ones that have proven to be useful and effective. Psychoneuroimmunology as a theory is great, but you will want to focus on what works and is simple enough to put into practice right away.

You will notice that there is some overlap with my stress reduction page, but the two concepts do share common goals and so the information is relevant in both instances.Here below are some of the concepts I am referring to:

• H.P.P. – Hypno Peripheral Processing Tapes and CD’s
• Herbs and Nutraceuticals
• EFT – The Emotional Freedom Technique
• The Doyletics Speed Trace
• Sound and Light Technology

Personal Experience

You might wonder about my personal experiences with H.P.P., and why I put so much faith in this self hypnosis meditation audio technology. I have personally used the H.P.P. program called “Feeling Better, Mind Body Connections,” to deal with a serious leg infection about 18 years ago.

Using this program I noticed that the infection began to subside even before I got to the doctor and got a prescription for an antibiotic. Previously I was hospitalized with this same type of infection and even the intravenous antibiotic took time to reverse the infection. This is an example of applied Psychoneuroimmunology done the high tech way!

This time all it required was an oral antibiotic and it cleared up in a matter of days. As well, about 7 years ago I got a case of the flu. I had noticed there was “something in my system,” and I never the less went to the gym and trained hard. I came down with the flu, and had a rough three days or so, but again used the H.P.P. tape series.

By the end of the week, I was at the gym once again handling over 400lbs in the squat exercise, only days after feeling sick as a dog. This underscores my faith in H.P.P. technology and my enthusiasm to recommend it to others.

Relax While Using H.P.P.

The only downside to using these tapes and CD’s is that they have to be used with stereo headphones, as the dual induction audio technology will not work without them. This is a small price to pay for instant hypnotherapy I might add!

The main point I want to leave you with is that the immune system is a key player in any antiaging strategy and you must keep it working optimally. Self hypnosis meditation via H.P.P. audio technology is in my experience THE best way approach Psychoneuroimmunology in an antiaging program!
