Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the scientific study of the interaction among emotions the brain, and the immune system, some of the body's most complex systems. It springs from healing traditions that are both ancient and modem, Eastern and Western. The emotions (the psyche), the neurological system (the brain, spinal cord, and other nervous system organs), the immensely complex immune system and the various interactions of these systems offer much that, when understood, can prove fascinating and useful to people with cancer.
