'Not All in the Mind' is the title of a book by Dr Richard Mackarness written in 1976 on 'How unsuspected food allergy can affect your body and your mind'. This was before we heard much about additives in food, hyperactive children, the big rise in asthma, hayfever and so on. I won't go into it in detail but as far as I recall the author was demonstrating that some extreme and bizarre behaviours which looked like what are usually regarded as mental illness or physical illness were just those, not 'something we ate'.
There is current concern about the environment, how much things like lead in petrol, general pollution, electrical pollution, depletion of the rainforests etc. not only affect quality of life but also cause damage to ourselves and other life-forms.
Various 'New Age' and other theories aim to redress the balance in some way. Do they really, or is it just that we like to think they do, or we believe in something so much that 'it works'?
