As mentioned earlier, approximately 95 percent of human babies are born anatomically and, at least initially at birth, physiologically healthy. They are as healthy as we can imagine. Many factors determine whether or not the child remains healthy into adulthood. The most critical are nurturing, in the broadest sense, and nutrition. Unequivocally, babies who are breastfed have many more advantages over those who are not. Breastfeeding ideally should last at least six months and up to twelve. Ideally, as they mature into eating regular food, the quality of the nutrition is critically important.

Physical exercise is also essential for optimal health. Sitting in front of a television set several hours a day is not healthy for anyone and especially for young children. Teenage athletes mature much earlier than couch potatoes. Athletes also develop much stronger physical bodies.

Accidents of any kind can, of course, cause damage to any organ and lead to scarring and other physical health issues. Injuries to the brain are, of course, among the most serious problem, as are those to the spinal cord.

However, the great damage ultimately to the physical body comes from mental and emotional trauma. Inadequate nurturing in a young baby can lead to marasmus, a child who actually dwindles away and most often dies. After surviving infancy, however, individuals who feel emotionally abandoned or abused or are physically, emotionally, or sexually abused wind up with lifelong health issues that may not be just psychological. The endocrine system is particularly damaged by this along with chronic stress of any kind. The pattern for lifelong excess, over activity of the sympathetic nervous system, or the fight-or-flight mechanism can be set early in life by many different psychological traumatic events. This type of stress leads to what Wilhelm Reich called “armoring of the body.” That is, muscle tension.

Muscle tension acts to decrease blood flow and although, for instance, we think of thyroid being controlled by adequate iodine and impulses from the pituitary gland that give us thyroid-stimulating hormones, it has been demonstrated that half of thyroid function is the result of blood flow to the thyroid. Individuals who have been inhibited in their expression of their needs and desires, therefore, may have marked constriction of blood vessels in the Fifth Chakra, the area feeding the thyroid gland. Severe inadequate iodine early in life can lead to very severe brain damage called cretinism, which cannot be adequately corrected once the brain has been damaged in that way.

More importantly, armoring can lead to virtually every known disease, including cancer. Reich was the first, to my knowledge, to state that this muscle tension decreased blood flow to the internal organs. One proof of that seems to have been shown in the research of a gynecologist in Carmel, California in the late seventies. Non-orgasmic women were found to have a vaginal temperature below normal body temperature. Using an electronic thermistor for biofeedback training, these women learned to warm the vagina mentally and became orgasmic with no psychotherapy.

To be fair and not sexist about this, Dr.
