I am neither social nor an animal. What exactly is the mechanism of action, what is it about going to church or whatever that decreases this nasty interleukin-6? And how can carried out most minimally, or made into pills?


Unless you're a robot, you are a social animal


Animal from the muppets is an animal. Animal from the Anti-Nowhere League is an animal. But the Elephant Man was not an animal, and neither am I. Moderation rules prohibit me from showing you how social I'm not.


Also, surely feeling part of a subreddit might also invoke the same processes?

Edit: What about social rejection? Surely that might be a better variable than “social ties”.


if you're not an animal then you don't have to worry about IL-6

neuroimmunology is very cool, look into it

there are nerves which directly contact macrophages and other immune cells in the spleen and it's not clear why
