Melanoma and stress
Stress may increase the rate of progression of the most malignant form of melanoma, according to a report on a study conducted in New Zeeland of 1600 people diagnosed with that disease. Small wonder given what we know about stress and how stress-generated cortisol suppresses the functioning of the immune system. Of course, some of the stress may come from the diagnosis itself. This study points again to the importance of the substances in the anti-aging firewalls that encourage regular sleep and mental calm like l-theanine and melatonin as well as a relaxed mental attitude that takes any problems in stride.
