ORACIONES TEMA Y ORACIONES SECUNDARIAS:
Imagine you're allergic to the oil of the Japanese lacquer tree--so allergic that the brush of a leaf
against your skin provokes an angry rash. Strapping a blindfold over your eyes, a scientist tells you
she's going to rub your right arm with lacquer leaf and your left arm with the innocuous leaf of a
chestnut tree. The rubbing commences, and before long your right arm is covered with burning,
itchy welts. Your left side feels fine. No surprise, until you learn that your left arm--not the right--is
the one that got lacquered. Or imagine that Parkinson's disease has reduced your walk to a shuffle
and left your hands too shaky to grasp a pencil. You enroll in a study and receive an experimental
surgical treatment, which dramatically improves both your gait and your grip. You're ready to
declare it a miracle of modern medicine, when you discover that the operation was a sham. The
surgeons merely drilled a small hole in your skull and then patched it.
1. Imagnese que es alrgico al aceite del rbol de la laca japonesa, tan alrgico que el roce de una
hoja sobre la piel le provoca un fuerte salpullido.

That thoughts and feelings can affect our health is hardly news. In the span of a few decades,
mind-body medicine has evolved from heresy into something approaching clich. So why is
NEWSWEEK devoting this Health for Life report to the mind-body connection? Because the
relationship between emotion and health is turning out to be more interesting, and more
important, than most of us could have imagined. Viewed through the lens of 21st-century science,
anxiety, alienation and hopelessness are not just feelings. Neither are love, serenity and optimism.
All are physiological states that affect our health just as clearly as obesity or physical fitness. And

the brain, as the source of such states, offers a potential gateway to countless other tissues and
organs--from the heart and blood vessels to the gut and the immune system. The challenge is to
map the pathways linking mental states to medical ones, and learn how to travel them at will.
2. El reto consiste en trazar los caminos que unen los estados mentales y los mdicos, y aprender a
viajar a voluntad.

That effort is now burgeoning. The federal government's five-year-old Integrated Neural Immune
Program will spend $16 million on mind-body research next year, and private foundations will
spend millions more. At least one leading managed-care organization, HIP USA, has started to
cover mind-body practices, and Medicare now reimburses for certain relaxation techniques
administered by psychologists. Hospitals, for their part, are opening mind-body clinics--and yoga
classes are spreading from health clubs into shopping malls. According to a recent government
survey, nearly half of all Americans used mind-body interventions in 2002. The respondents
embraced practices ranging from deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to meditation,
hypnosis and guided imagery. Close to half of them also said they prayed--perhaps the oldest and
most basic form of mind-body medicine.
3. Ese esfuerzo est en expansin. El gobierno federal integro hace 5 aos, el Programa Inmuno
Neural, en donde piensan gastar $ 16 millones en la investigacin mente-cuerpo el prximo ao, y
las fundaciones privadas se gastan millones ms.
They had plenty to pray for. Modern life is rife with potential stressors, and there is now little
question that uncontrolled stress can kill. Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon recognized 90 years
ago that when confronted by a threat--physical or emotional, real or imagined--the body responds
with a rise in blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and breathing rate. We now know that
this physiological "stress response" involves hormones and inflammatory chemicals that, while
valuable in measured bursts, can foster everything from headaches to heart attacks in overdose.
Cannon verified that people who believed they'd been hexed by voodoo witch doctors could drop
dead from a sudden and massive stress response. We now know that chronic stress, though not
always fatal, can disrupt the digestive system, worsen symptoms of menopause and interfere with
fertility. Indeed, experts now believe that 60 to 90 percent of all doctor visits involve stress-related
complaints.
4. La vida moderna est plagada de estresores potenciales, y ahora hay pocas dudas acerca de que
el estrs no controlado puede matar.

As researchers chart the health effects of hostility and hopelessness, they're also gaining

unprecedented insights into the mind's power to heal. The "placebo response" has been widely
recognized since the 1950s, when Harvard's Dr. Henry Beecher described the phenomenon. Until
recently, most experts dismissed it as a feat of self-deception, in which people who remain sick (or
never were) convince themselves they're better. But we're now discovering that expectations can
directly alter a disease process. Consider those Parkinson's sufferers who improved with sham
surgery. Using PET scans, researchers compared their brains with those of patients who received
an active treatment. As expected, the active intervention caused a significant rise in dopamine, the
neurotransmitter that people with Parkinson's lack. But the patients who improved on placebo
experienced a similar dopamine surge. A related study found that fake analgesics could boost the
brain's own pain-fighting mechanisms. In both cases, the placebo response was not an imaginary
lessening of symptoms but an objective, measurable change in brain chemistry.
5. Como los investigadores estn trazando los efectos de la hostilidad y desesperanza en la salud,
estn tambin ganando puntos de vista sin precedentes acerca de poder curar la mente.

Placebos are just the beginning. Mounting evidence suggests that any number of soothing
emotional experiences can improve our physical health. At Duke University, researchers have
found that religious observance is associated with lower rates of illness and hospitalization. In
studies of HIV-positive men, researchers at UCLA have found that optimism is associated with
stronger immune-cell function. And research at Harvard suggests that the "relaxation response"-the deep sense of calm we can achieve through yoga, prayer or simple deep-breathing exercises-can help counter the effects of chronic stress. We now believe that the body produces more nitric
oxide when deeply relaxed, and that this molecule acts as an antidote to cortisol and other
potentially toxic stress hormones.
6. La evidencia creciente sugiere que cualquier nmero de experiencias emocionales tranquilas,
pueden mejorar nuestra salud fsica.
Can we teach ourselves to be healthier? That is the central question of mind-body medicine, and
the answer is not an unqualified yes. Stressful life circumstances are sometimes inescapable (no
one chooses poverty or discrimination). Heredity and temperament leave some of us more stressprone than others. And prayer is clearly no substitute for penicillin or a decent diet. Yet mind-body
techniques can improve almost anyone's quality of life. Meditation may not cure cancer, but by
alleviating fear and softening the side effects of treatment, it leaves many patients feeling less
victimized. Stress-related illness often defies conventional remedies, and when we persist with
high-tech pills and procedures, the costs of treatment can easily outweigh the benefits. Mind-body
medicine offers a saner starting place. If it fulfills half its promise, it could reduce medical costs
while improving our health and our lives. And whatever its limitations, it has the advantage of
doing no harm.

Imagine you're allergic to the oil of the Japanese lacquer tree--so allergic that the brush of a leaf against
your skin provokes an angry rash. Strapping a blindfold over your eyes, a scientist tells you she's going
to rub your right arm with lacquer leaf and your left arm with the innocuous leaf of a chestnut tree. The
rubbing commences, and before long your right arm is covered with burning, itchy welts. Your left side
feels fine. No surprise, until you learn that your left arm--not the right--is the one that got lacquered. Or
imagine that Parkinson's disease has reduced your walk to a shuffle and left your hands too shaky to
grasp a pencil. You enroll in a study and receive an experimental surgical treatment, which dramatically
improves both your gait and your grip. You're ready to declare it a miracle of modern medicine, when you
discover that the operation was a sham. The surgeons merely drilled a small hole in your skull and then
patched it.
That thoughts and feelings can affect our health is hardly news. In the span of a few decades, mind-body
medicine has evolved from heresy into something approaching cliche. So why is NEWSWEEK devoting
this Health for Life report to the mind-body connection? Because the relationship between emotion and
health is turning out to be more interesting, and more important, than most of us could have imagined.
Viewed through the lens of 21st-century science, anxiety, alienation and hopelessness are not just
feelings. Neither are love, serenity and optimism. All are physiological states that affect our health just as
clearly as obesity or physical fitness. And the brain, as the source of such states, offers a potential
gateway to countless other tissues and organs--from the heart and blood vessels to the gut and the
immune system. The challenge is to map the pathways linking mental states to medical ones, and learn
how to travel them at will.
That effort is now burgeoning. The federal government's five-year-old Integrated Neural Immune
Program will spend $16 million on mind-body research next year, and private foundations will spend
millions more. At least one leading managed-care organization, HIP USA, has started to cover mindbody practices, and Medicare now reimburses for certain relaxation techniques administered by
psychologists. Hospitals, for their part, are opening mind-body clinics--and yoga classes are spreading
from health clubs into shopping malls. According to a recent government survey, nearly half of all
Americans used mind-body interventions in 2002. The respondents embraced practices ranging from
deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to meditation, hypnosis and guided imagery. Close to
half of them also said they prayed--perhaps the oldest and most basic form of mind-body medicine.
They had plenty to pray for. Modern life is rife with potential stressors, and there is now little question that
uncontrolled stress can kill. Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon recognized 90 years ago that when
confronted by a threat--physical or emotional, real or imagined--the body responds with a rise in blood
pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and breathing rate. We now know that this physiological "stress
response" involves hormones and inflammatory chemicals that, while valuable in measured bursts, can
foster everything from headaches to heart attacks in overdose. Cannon verified that people who believed
they'd been hexed by voodoo witch doctors could drop dead from a sudden and massive stress
response. We now know that chronic stress, though not always fatal, can disrupt the digestive system,
worsen symptoms of menopause and interfere with fertility. Indeed, experts now believe that 60 to 90
percent of all doctor visits involve stress-related complaints.
As researchers chart the health effects of hostility and hopelessness, they're also gaining unprecedented
insights into the mind's power to heal. The "placebo response" has been widely recognized since the
1950s, when Harvard's Dr. Henry Beecher described the phenomenon. Until recently, most experts
dismissed it as a feat of self-deception, in which people who remain sick (or never were) convince
themselves they're better. But we're now discovering that expectations can directly alter a disease
process. Consider those Parkinson's sufferers who improved with sham surgery. Using PET scans,
researchers compared their brains with those of patients who received an active treatment. As expected,
the active intervention caused a significant rise in dopamine, the neurotransmitter that people with
Parkinson's lack. But the patients who improved on placebo experienced a similar dopamine surge. A
related study found that fake analgesics could boost the brain's own pain-fighting mechanisms. In both
cases, the placebo response was not an imaginary lessening of symptoms but an objective, measurable
change in brain chemistry.
Placebos are just the beginning. Mounting evidence suggests that any number of soothing emotional
experiences can improve our physical health. At Duke University, researchers have found that religious

observance is associated with lower rates of illness and hospitalization. In studies of HIV-positive men,
researchers at UCLA have found that optimism is associated with stronger immune-cell function. And
research at Harvard suggests that the "relaxation response"--the deep sense of calm we can achieve
through yoga, prayer or simple deep-breathing exercises--can help counter the effects of chronic stress.
We now believe that the body produces more nitric oxide when deeply relaxed, and that this molecule
acts as an antidote to cortisol and other potentially toxic stress hormones.
Can we teach ourselves to be healthier? That is the central question of mind-body medicine, and the
answer is not an unqualified yes. Stressful life circumstances are sometimes inescapable (no one
chooses poverty or discrimination). Heredity and temperament leave some of us more stress-prone than
others. And prayer is clearly no substitute for penicillin or a decent diet. Yet mind-body techniques can
improve almost anyone's quality of life. Meditation may not cure cancer, but by alleviating fear and
softening the side effects of treatment, it leaves many patients feeling less victimized. Stress-related
illness often defies conventional remedies, and when we persist with high-tech pills and procedures, the
costs of treatment can easily outweigh the benefits. Mind-body medicine offers a saner starting place. If it
fulfills half its promise, it could reduce medical costs while improving our health and our lives. And
whatever its limitations, it has the advantage of doing no harm.
