Donna G Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 There is a science called this! They have international meetings! It is the study of how you can not divorce the effects of how you think on how your body is working. As- If you think stressed, it lowers your body immune system function and you catch the first thing that comes along. Stess affects the bodies ability to resist disease. The news paper today says a good source to learn more about stress and the immune system is "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" Just thought I would mention it, what more stress could you have than being told you have cancer? It should really help us to know this and work to decrease our stress. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsC1210 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Donna, Thanks for this! It almost underscores that adage about the power of positive thinking, too! Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harn Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Donna, Thanks for posting this. I was fortunate to have found ongoing programs for cancer survivors led by a MSW who specialized in meditation for stress at the free, non-profit Wellness Center of Phila... Getting my body, let alone my thoughts to stop racing was an ongoing battle! In Phila, Jefferson Hospital offer lots of alternative medicine courses and lectures for the public.

blaze100 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think there is something to this visualization stuff too. The placebo effect has been proven to be real....so it only makes sense visualization would hold too. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
