Many who have attended various Byron Sophia groups have said they were vegetarian, some saying they were vegan.

It would seem reasonable to expect that many, if not most of those who attended were also orientated toward "natural healing" and natural living - e.g. eating organic vegetables, enjoying plenty of sunshine, etc.

Within that context, of living a healthy lifestyle, the recent work of Dr Bruce Lipton is salient, in regards to the Corona/Covid-19 epidemic.

In his YouTube video "How never to get sick again"1 he affirms that fear (e.g. fear of getting a virus), is one of the factors in illness.

chemicals released by the brain in fear shut down the growth of the body and shut down the immune system

As he explains, when being chased by a saber-toothed tiger, our ancestors would have used 100% of their energy to fight or run away. The body naturally shuts down our immune system in such circumstances, in order to maximize resources and energy for survival.

He also emphasizes that fear shuts down the generation of red and white blood cells, cellular regeneration, and so on. In short, fear reduces our ability to live in optimal health, with an optimal immune system.
