The main function of the immune system is to protect the body against the invasion of foreign microorganisms. It is the most essential asset for maintaining one’s overall wellbeing.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a dysfunction in the digestive system that largely affects the large intestine or the colon.

I suffered from acid reflux with every meal and even suffocated at night because of it. The only remedies they could recommend were pharmaceuticals, which turned out to be ineffective. The suffocation, fear, and resulting heart palpitations (due to thyroid dysfunction) lasted for what seemed like an eternity.

Everyone else falls somewhere in between, with the odd few being completely unemotional about anything. (By the way – 20% of the entire animal kingdom is highly-sensitive as well).

Let’s think this through before doing something rash.” Every society needs highly sensitive people,…
