I just discovered this website a few minutes ago, did a quick search here on PR, and discovered it's not been mentioned before. It looks like it has some very good information, so thought I would post a link before I spaced it out.

MINDD - Metabolic Immunologic Neurologic Digestive Disorders

The first two paragraphs on the website give an overview:
Mindd is an acronym for Metabolic Immunologic Neurologic Digestive disorders that often affect the mind. Many modern illnesses fall into this category such as asthma, allergies, AD/HD, Autism, Crohns Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, digestive disorders, Schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and more.

Thanks to advances in medicine and technology many diseases and infections are part of the past. However, a new class of epidemics are emerging in the category of brain-immuno-gut dysfunction or Mindd illness. In this paradigm, disease begins at the cellular level and affects many organ systems. This explains why researchers such as Dr. Campbell-McBride and Dr. Kenneth Bock are finding such an overlap in neurological, immunological and digestive illness in one single patient.

Mindd Overview

Hm. I've suffered from asthma and allergies as a child, depression as an adult. My brain does ADHD stuff.

Its not hard to see the links. I wonder how many other PWC have these overlap conditions?..

Its a shame that remedies for this spectrum of conditions arent more direct and effective. Most of these illnesses take a lot of work to manage, with small returns in health
