Humiliation Takes Health Toll
Dear HumanDHS Friends!
COMMENT by Brian Lynch: This is posted as it should be applauded that the researchers are attempting to study the health effects of humiliation. From what is given in the article, however, their methods are questionable as living in such a political unstable area for your entire life is by definition already unhealthy how one is to control for all the variables is quite a question. Again that said they are to be applauded for trying and for raising the question.

Humiliation takes harsh health toll, report says
June 20, 2007
Special to World Science
Repeated humiliation can take a steep health toll, according to a group of scientists who studied the effects what they called the humiliations of living under military occupation.
But some other researchers questioned the study’s methodology and called for further investigation.
The study was conducted in the West Bank, a Palestinian land under Israeli occupation and plagued by almost ceaseless low-grade war and spiralling poverty.
Gunmen and suicide bombers from Palestinian territories regularly try to slip into bordering Israel to attack their occupiers.
