Robert Ader

After my diagnosis, so I took the rest of that semester off.

And when I came back, because I started reading prolifically from September until the end of the year of 1991, I started running across the work of somebody named Robert Ader, Dr. Robert Ader, who is considered the father of psychoneuroimmunology.

And then that took me down to the rabbit hole of another researcher of the time, still be years before her book came out, which was the work of Dr. Candice Pert.

She later had a book called Molecules of Emotion.

And so her work is just really profound, and it clicked something for me.

And the other work I ran across that was really instrumental in my thinking at that time was the work of a man by the name of Dr. Robert Ader, A-D-E-R.

And he is known as the father of psychoneuroimmunology.

And so PNI is what it's often called.
