Emotions are based on minute proteins in the body called Information Substances (IS). These are comprised of neuropeptides, hormones and other specialized information molecules which permeate our entire body, including DNA. Emotions were once thought to be in the mind. They now have been proven to be in the body. That is to say, they are physiological. This dynamic has been scientifically validated by Candace Pert, PhD, author of MOLECULES OF EMOTION.
As discovered in the late 1970s, emotions are composed of neuropeptides (amino acid chains) and their neuroreceptors, which lie on neurons and other cells of remote tissues in the body. The neuropeptides are ejected from the neuron and carry the encoded "information" of emotions to other sites within the body. Interestingly, these are attracted to one another in very specific ways, & have been likened to “lock & key” fits. In fact, research has shown that neuropeptide-specific receptors are present on the cell walls of both the brain and the immune system!
The immune system and the brain talk to each other through signaling pathways. The brain and the immune system are the two major adaptive systems of the body. In a nutshell--- stimulation of certain brain sites alters immunity, immune cells produce cytokines that act on the Central Nervous System (CNS), & immune cells respond to signals from the CNS
