In reply to Strange but does seretonin prevent colds,flu?, posted by dreamer on January 21, 2001, at 11:24:29
dreamer, i shouldn't laugh, but i did get this fleeting image of cold viruses shouting to each other "run away! run away!" like in monty python.
Mood is tied to immune system function, isn't it? I certainly get more depressed if I get the flu. Maybe you've been feeling better, and that's feeding back into your general state of health.
just a very unscientific thot....
