In my experience early childhood trauma can have a deleterious effect on the digestive system which leads to various maladies in that part of the body. (Even our idea of what constitutes trauma is limited.). Yet mainstream healthcare does not seem to be aware of this. This reminds me that “science” focuses on agents which seem to cause disease….and the next, supposedly, logical step is to find, or invent, a drug that seems to deal with it. That’s where the money is, of course. If we’re going to have a healthcare system that is truly about healthcare, we are going to have to step outside our current thinking.
Thank you! Another informative post.
