HOW WE GET SICK- IT IS ALL IN OUR HEAD!!!

For those who suffer from a disease that has persisted despite all treatments that are normally effective, it may be time to consider other causes. The mind can bring on a physical state that mimics and then becomes a named disease; there are numerous books and programs now to deal with such things. From Alice Bailey's "Who's The Matter With Me?" to Louise Hay's numerous books on the subject, sometimes all that needs to be done is to consider the circumstances preceding the illness and take steps to deal with that.
A good example is that of Adult Onset Type II Diabetes, which is considered by those two authors as "the feeling that all of the sweetness of Life has been taken away." The illness usually occurs after a devastating change in life, such as the death of a much-beloved partner, sudden loss of income, or other traumatic experience. The person mourns the loss of circumstances that provided happiness and comfort: in effect, throwing a temper tantrum that upsets the entire body. The limbic system gets involved in a big way, causing a change in hormones with each emotional hit. While most people go through major emotional disturbance with such difficult occurrences, if healing of the emotions does not occur, the body may move into a more permanent disease state.
Medical science is now becoming more aware of such connections. Although slow to accept that the person can actually cause disease due to mental-emotional upsets, some progress is being made. Broken Heart Syndrome is now listed as an actual medical condition, used to explain the sudden death of one who has lost a beloved partner. The person left behind is often physically healthy and free of any hidden underlying disease. Within three days to a year, that formerly healthy person may suddenly drop dead of a heart attack. The cause is actually unrelenting grief and inability to move on into the healing of that grief.
There are other patients who have worked hard and suffered multiple instances of catastrophic interferences with life, who suddenly have a stroke or heart attack and have to be taken care of. Such people usually have never taken time to rest and the whole idea of having to just lay there and let someone else minister to their most basic needs intrigues them. Some may revel in that care, loving the idea that someone has to feed and bathe them-and even wipe their butt. Such patients often linger for ten years or more, enjoying every minute of attention they get. The type of person who enjoys such treatment is usually one known to be a 'control freak' who enjoys manipulating others. While most stroke or heart-attack victims are impatient to get back to their normal lives, there are a few of that type who really love the attention they get and have no intention of ever having to be responsible for anything again.
What about the common cold? Modern science may think it's due to the adeno-virus, but how does that explain the sudden onset in only one member of the family, when all have been together in one place, away from outside influences? If one examines the circumstances, it is usually discovered that the afflicted one was feeling overwhelmed-either feeling that they were not being given enough responsibility to do things they are capable of doing, or being given more than they felt they could handle. Once that issue is addressed, the 'cold' often resolves very quickly.
Human beings are complex creatures with the ability to think themselves into health or illness. The more powerful the mind and emotions, the more quickly and intensely the health or disease manifests. Far from being helpless victims of the vagaries of life, we are powerful manifestors who bring the experiences we need to us. Unfortunately we learn best from the hard times, when we are challenged to the max...just ask anyone who routinely survives against all odds.
