Mind over matter
you can convince yourself that you are sick and you actually become sick |

I disagree because gangrene and leprosy are illnesses but they are definitely not in the mind! |

So how do you Explain when a Baby is Sick? Or is Born disfigured? |

I have to disagree. The mind is powerful if one knows how to use it, but to defend against physical
illness? I don't think so. I am a firm believer in "we are what we eat". Even now it goes beyond
that phrase into "...what we breath and touch". To go even deeper is to touch on the subject of
DNA. The mind is strong, but not strong enough to even deter the simplest of colds.

Although I agree with you the mind can play a role in prevention and healing -- there is no way - NO
WAY - 85% of illness is in the mind. Our world is awash in bacteria and viruses and your mind
cannot always defeat those, it may send some white blood cells to fight or raise your temperature
but those weapons do not work on everything. And what about all the pollution and toxins and
natural poisons surrounding us, because your mind can't beat plutonium? And what about genetic
conditions, congenital heart disease, aneurysms, etc? And what about all the people who desperately
cling to life through prayer, exercise, positive thought, whatever, but still can't beat their
cancer or other illnesses? |
