What folk wisdom cant say, and what psychopharmacology and biology are trying to figure out is, how much, how profound, what, and why. Its a new approach, but one with significant traction, and considerable evidence of the profound effect that somatic factors have on the human mind. Its one that begs questions of whether not being breast-fed can lead to anxiety and depression, how basic foods, synthetic compounds, pesticides, atmospheric particulates and trace gases, genetically-modified organisms, and simple household cleaners can have micro-and-micro, subtle and profound effects on the human consciousness and subconscious. How addictions are formed, how broad-scale societal effects have physical roots. The implications and possibilities, as well as what is known crosses a far more complex and numerous field of data points than anything previously known. And were at the bare beginning - intensely frightening, exciting, and with a real possibility of understanding just how much we affect, and are affected by this objective physical world we experience at best, secondhand - and are directly affected by in ways so very well beyond our conscious reckoning or ability to account for.
