Early Childhood Stress Has Lingering Effects On Health

“Stressful experiences in early childhood can have long-lasting impacts on kids’ health that persist well beyond the resolution of the situation.”
I might add that the key is that the situation is not really resolved emotionally. The study is similiar to what I have been learning about New German Medicine.
“The immune system is not preset at birth,” says Coe. “The cells are there, but how they will develop and how well they’ll be regulated is very much influenced by your early environment and the type of rearing you have.”
“It suggests that children’s emotional environments are having widespread repercussions on their health.”
“These children began their lives in a stressful environment, but they’re now adolescents, and for a decade, they’ve been living in stable, affluent, loving environments. And yet, their immune systems are compromised as well. In fact, they look just like the physically abused kids.”
“The bottom line is that these early stressors can really have long-term implications.”
