> If there really does exist a direct linkage between the brain and the immune system
The interaction of the CNS and the immune system has been more recently studied over the past 10 years. This field is known as neuroimmunology. The most recent and obvious clinical application of neuroimmunology are vagal nerve implants, where stimulation of the vagus nerve can help improve vagal tone and reduce inflammation. Meditation is another well known method of improving vagal tone; however, we live in a society of quick fixes.
