    I wanted to give you a link to a podcast that Dr. David Schechter did with the DrunkenTaoist in which he discussed the Mind-Body Connection.

    Here's a direct link to the audio. I'd skip the first 11 minutes because Dr. Schechter doesn't come on until 11:02. Also, the interviewer does swear and the podcast starts off with him swearing.

    Here are some of the topics they discuss:`

    • Howard Stern healing his back by reading a book

    • Asking a different set of questions

    • The stages of healing

    • Placebo effect accesses the underlining healing ability of the mind-body

    • A UCLA study being able to accurately predict who will respond to placebo and who will not

    Thanks for sharing this, Pam.
    I especially like the part about stress management should be taught in middle school.
