title: Bringing mind-body medicine into the mainstream.
abstract: Centuries-old concepts concerning the mind's influence on the body are being examined with renewed interest. As awareness of the health benefits of being able to voluntarily control vital aspects of the metabolic state increases, and as our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of such control also increases, mind-body medicine may move further into the mainstream of Western medical practices.
