MILLER'S LAW

Soma - the body

The body is an ecosystem of which major body systems are intimately related. If we knew more about Chinese and other traditional forms of medicine we would be better able to recognise these inter-relationships.

The most commonly recognised relationship is that between the mind and the rest of the body. It's known as the psycho-somatic relationship. We frequently recognise that something's going on in the mind by symptoms expressed in other parts of the body - elevated blood pressure, crook gut and skin irritation being some of the better known.

The mind plays games. If someone asks you 'How'y going?' you'll probably be inclined to say 'Not Bad' of 'Pretty good' regardless of how you really feel. You might even think you're OK.

However the rest of the body might be telling a different story - headaches, insomnia, over weight, itchy, high cholesterol, high blood pressure ... certainly not the symptoms of an ecosystem in exceptionally good nick.

You can check out how you're going by completing the Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Profile. If you get less than 20 you're in good shape.

Similar relationships occur between other body systems and the rest of the body - gut-somatic and liver-somatic along with psycho-somatic being the big ones.

It's interesting though that in my studies musculo-skeletal dysfunction is highly and positively correlated with feeling miserable. People with crook backs frequently have the posture of a miserable person.

People who are physically fit are less likely to become depressed. They are also more likely to have a strong immune system and an autonomic nervous system that is balanced and healthy in its management of key physiological responses. They have normal blood pressure, they sleep like logs, are about their ideal weight, rarely, if ever get a headache and don't have a crook back.

MILLER'S LAW

Individual body systems work well when the whole ecosystem is in good shape. You can write that down as Miller's Law!

Corollary

If something's wrong with one part of your body you can bet that there are things wrong with other parts as well - more than likely it's sign that the system is breaking down and not just one part.

For instance being over weight or lacking aerobic fitness are two of the first signs of general system failure - as are high blood pressure, headaches and all the other stuff.

Also you need to consider the fact that what you think is a problem in one body system may well be a symptom of a problem somewhere else - if you get what I mean.

It's why taking a pill to mask a symptom is not the smartest thing to do. The cause of the problem is usually not at the site where the problem is manifest.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and all the systems of your body will work better.
