Great stuff, Gary. I would love to find time to explore the Autonomics theory.
On first glance, I wonder whether some of these responses are not "built in" to our being, but are the result of ancestral trauma and thus are learned. It's like how when someone does something hurtful, a lot of people immediately say, "Humans are violent." I disagree with that blanket statement and lean more toward trauma as the root of such aberrant behaviors. I would go so far as to say many ailments are the result of traumatic experiences that remain unhealed.
Furthermore, we are being poisoned at exasperating levels in our water, air, and food — not to mention our minds filled with "entertainment" and other garbage — and of course this is all traumatic to our entire being.
