Here is a perfect example:

I had pre cancerous cells on my cervix, years ago. I remember not even worrying about it and I went back 2 months later and it was gone. Yes, I know precancerous cervical cells more often than not, will go away on their own.

But recently, a friend of mine was diagnosed with it. I tried to explain to her what happened with me and the power of just not thinking about it, etc. Unfortunately, she could not forget about it b/c of the word "cancer." She worried about it all the time and ended up having cryo. If this doesn't work, then surgery is next. She's only 28 and is still consumed by it.

It truly is the thought. It's always been my experience.
The more energy put into something, the faster it materializes. Be it disease or health.

Great example---congratulations on Good-Great health!

Providing a positive environment for the patient helps to relax the patient even if he/she is critical.
