From the Paper:

"All the systems in the human body are vital to our survival and well-being and if one succumbs to failure the entire whole body will cease to work properly. The main systems of the human body are the nervous, endocrine, respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive, excretory, skeletal, and muscular, (Jacob, 1). They all work together in harmony and unison to keep us alive in perfect synergy. In fact, a 17th dualist and intellectual rebel by the name of Rene Descartes delved into the depths of the human psyche and concluded that man is made up of two different kinds of substances, namely, the mind and the body. To Descartes the mind was representative of man's mental properties and the body representative of physical properties. As a medical expert Descartes proposed that the answer of the relationship between mind, body, and soul lies within the endocrine system."
