Abstract
“The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.” Hippocrates Prof. G.F. Solomon was one of the first scientists to hypothesize that the relationship between brain activity and the body’s immune system can be important for determining health and influencing the course of the disease and its outcome. John Solomon is the founder of psychoneuroimmunology, an interdisciplinary field of research into the interaction of the brain, behavior, and immune system that has played a key role in the study of behavioral and biological mechanisms that link psychosocial factors, health, and disease. His research helped to found a new area of knowledge - psychoneuroimmunology, which aims to uncover the mechanisms by which the brain is able to influence the functions of the immune system.
