Answer to Question 1

D
The field of psychoneuroimmunolo gy (PNI) studies the complex relationship among the cognitive, affective, and physical facets of human beings, including how the brain transmits signals along the nerve pathways to enhance normal immune functioning. This research supports the concept that the human mind can alter physiology and that cells can be directly affected by emotions.

Answer to Question 2

D
Shamanism is the practice of entering altered states of consciousness to help others. The shaman or folk healer-priest acts as guardian of the spirits, using natural or supernatural forces or herbs to help others. Illness is considered to be the result of spirit loss, so the shaman acts as both priest and healer to encourage the spirits to return to the individual. The shaman may also use totems, ritual songs, foods, and clothing to connect to the spirit world.
