I’ve had several students with anxiety + migraines, autism + asthma, and food allergies + learning disabilities. Why is it that these conditions seem to go together, and what is it about having one that makes it more likely to have/develop others?
In: Biology
Speculation #1: If a health issue causes cells to put out some bad factor (likely a protein), then one could assume that this bad factor can travel through the bloodstream and affect other organ systems. Why some systems are more likely to be affected than others could be due to chance or could be affected by how close they are or how much they interact with the affected system.
Speculation #2: If the issue is written into the genes (the instructions that tells your cells what to make), then cells of a certain system 1 that follow the wrong instruction may cause the issue. Not all cells of all systems can follow the wrong instruction, but there is a chance that another system 2 has an environment where cells can and will follow that same wrong instruction, causing an issue in another system.
Not an expert by any means (taken some science classes), but would be interested to see what others say
