Researchers have found that naturally occurring substances known as peptides or neuropeptides, which are messenger molecules composed of amino acids, can cause alterations of mood, pain, and pleasure. The first of these substances to be identified were endorphins, which are the brain's natural opiate-like substances, which produce pleasurable responses when released. Contrary to popular belief, endorphins are not found solely in the brain, but also in the immune system, endocrine system, and throughout the body. Emotions previously thought to be purely psychological are now linked to specific chemical processes taking place throughout the body, not just in the brain. In addition, researchers have discovered that the immune system, like the central nervous system, has memory and the capacity to learn. Intelligence is thus located in literally every cell of the body, and the traditional separation of mind and body no longer applies. John Basmajin, M.D., Professor Emeritus, has demonstrated that people can learn to consciously control their own individual neurons and muscle cells.

The mind/body alternative medicine technique stresses the affect conscious thoughts and perceptions have on the body. Mind/body medicine is built around several important principles, which help to explain its' theory, method, and function. Mind/body medicine encourages the patient to take full responsibility for his/her own healing. The patient is encouraged to be very proactive and an active partner in all aspects and stages of treatment, rather than being a passive recipient of medical intervention. By becoming proactive in self-healing, one shifts from feelings of helplessness and hopelessness to a sense of expectation and control over their future well-being.
