The Author relates the latest discoveries of the Neuro-Endocrine-Immunology about the answers global and integrated kind with which organism responds to any cause which may alter its equilibrium. This "NET" model makes the comprehension of the illness as stress easier: a situation of derangement (lack of balance) to which the organism opposes the integrated reactions of all the Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunologic "NET" reactions of all the Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunologic "NET" which tries to defend and return to its own physiologic condition. This point of view can answer for physiologic and pathologic phenomena only apparently far from the narrow field we are studying and therefore is closer to the reality of each single individual, facilitating the task of the physician who must heal her.
