And here is why (in my personal opinion) so many people in the Northeast (particularly Rochester) have severe allergies:
"A strong set of negative beliefs (a Loser Script) appears, to neuroscience, as an imprinted and/or conditioned and/or learned network of bio-chemical reflexes in the cortex of the brain. Since communication exists between parts of the brain, and between the brain and other body systems, these 'negative beliefs' can easily transduce into bio-chemical reflexes of the organism-as-a-whole. Specifically, the 'belief' reflexes in the cortex get transduced into neurochemical and hormonal processes when they pass through the hypothalamus, an ancient little part of the back brain which regulates and/or influences many body programs, including the immune system."

Sorry guys...but I'm glad I'm getting out while the gettins' good. Too much negativity around here for me. It might be catching. Oh wait, it already is catching. I keep getting sick far too often. :-(
P.S. - A Loser Script can be changed, but Wilson says about conditioning: "Unlike imprinting, which requires only one experience and sets permanently into the neurons, conditioning requires many repetitions of the same experience and does not set permanently. Behaviorists, also, know how to reverse conditioning by counter-conditioning, but only Dr. Timothy Leary has claimed to know how to reverse imprinting. (Curiously, laws currently forbid other scientists from repeating and testing Dr. Leary's experiments...)"
Well anyway, you get the idea. You can fix negative modes of thinking, but only if you really want to, and really try, and realize that everyone around you are the influences that are bringing you down. Like quitting smoking when all your friends smoke. Rough.
