Think how you feel when you're faced with an important exam for example - perhaps a driving test or an interview? Sweaty palms, nausea, perhaps diarrhoea, shaking, etc. All of those symptoms - physical but coming from a mind origin.
If you discover you have a nasty physical illness, you might become depressed - but that's not body ruling mind. The mind has the power to heal the body. So the answer is .... mind rules body. However, people are a totality & you can't divide them up as conventional medicine does with psychiatrists, gynaecologists, gastro-enterologists, etc as this way, the totality is lost & the person becomes a part & not a whole.

It's an age-old question. I think the problem probably lies in the question, which assumes that the mind and the body are two separate things. The more we know about neurochemistry and human development, the less 'real' this division seems to be. To give some simple (simplistic, perhaps) examples: it is being held and touched that enables the infant to gain a sense of being a person and separate; feeling 'anxious' is a state of 'mind' but doesn't exist without certain hormones coursing around the body. I would say that the truth is that the mind and body are one and we separate them purely for the convenience of trying to think about our experience (being rather 'dualistic' in the ways we think).

The mind rules the body to a certain extent. If the body has abnormalities, the mind cannot necessarily over come some of these.

The mind rule the body because you use your body to do what the mind tells you to do.

The mind rules the body, and involuntarily tells your body to keep the brain at a nice temperature and with a good blood flow .

I think that the mind rules the body, but sometimes it's a pretty rough battle.

It's hard to say because when ure brain dead ure body can still work but then you could be paralyised but your brain is still funcitoning. the mind is pretty powerful thing though and can get your body to do anything so I would say the mind rules the body

it starts off as the mind ruling the body
it carries on like this until you get old
then the body starts saying to the mind "go to hell, i cant do that"
then the mind says "sod this, i give up as well"
then you die

Well - my body rules my mind - that is why I smoke and eat things that aren't healthy.
