Psychoneuroimmunology

You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs.Center of a crowd, talking much too loud running up and down the stairs.Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears.You better stop look aroundHere it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nine-tenth nervous breakdown.When you were a child you were treated kind but you were never brought up right.You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night.Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax.And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax.You better stop, look aroundCHORUSOh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane. well nothing I do don't seem to work,It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please.You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind.And after that you turned your back on treating people kind.On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind. but after while I realized you were disarranging mine.You better stop, look around

The tenets of Psychoneuroimmunology are based on the fact that the immune system is comprised of lymphocytes (white blood cells.) that fight off infections and have membranes that are sensitive to cortisol.

50 percent in levels of immune-system cells called natural killer cells following exposure to various forms of stress.

From animal studies, we know that cortisol not only suppresses the number and activity of NK cells, but also promotes the synthesis of new blood vessels in tumors and accelerates the growth of tumors.

I am gross and pervertedI'm obsessed 'n derangedI have existed for years

But very little has changedI'm the tool of the Government

And industry tooFor I am destined to rule

And regulate youI may be vile and pernicious

But you can't look awayI make you think I'm delicious

With the stuff that I sayI'm the best you can get

Have you guessed me yet?I'm the slime oozin' out

From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead youAnd eat the garbage that I feed youUntil the day that we don't need you

Don't go for help . . . no one will heed youYour mind is totally controlled

It has been stuffed into my moldAnd you will do as you are toldUntil the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your videoOozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your videoCan't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your videoOozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your videoCan't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
