The neuroscience behind Fillmore's teaching
Myrtle's healing through affirmation and 'talking to the cells' appears mystical until you understand psychoneuroimmunology — the field that studies how thoughts and beliefs directly affect immune function. Chronic negative belief states measurably suppress immune response; belief change can begin to reverse this. Her recovery was an extreme case of what research now confirms. The mind-body separation that made her approach seem impossible in the 19th century simply does not exist in modern neuroscience.
