Worrying Yourself To Death
September 5, 2010 | 
Author It’s true. Worry can . . . and will . . . kill you.
The human body is marvellous. Fifty million tiny cells all wrapped up into one human being. And each of those cells has a “mind” of its own. At least that’s the opinion of one biologist who claims to have seen a single cell move away from something bad for it, and toward something that was good for it.
So much for genetics.
But we humans can do something that even the animals do not appear to do. We worry. And with worry, comes a change in our body. Consider this description by Dr. Sapolsky:
“You sit in your chair not moving a muscle, and simply think a thought, a thought having to do with feeling angry or sad or euphoric or lustful, and suddenly your pancreas secretes some hormone. Your pancreas? How did you manage to do that with your pancreas? You don’t even know where your pancreas is. Your liver is making an enzyme that wasn’t there before, your spleen is text-messaging something to your thymus gland, blood-flow in little capillaries in your ankles has just changed. All from thinking a thought.” (1994: 20)
With stress comes this kind of activity in your body. But this is only the tip of the iceberg.

. . . or others who were surrounding you when you were young. Even from birth, those around you set the framework for your responses and your attitudes.
Recently on TV there was a program called “Sex Rehab” dealing with addictions. Everyone who had come in for treatment had issues at a young age, separating parents, or something else that drove their addictions.
Perhaps it was something like this:
” You should have cleaned your room better than that.”
