The Power of Positive Thought

It is not a new concept that positivity can help speed the healing or recovery of sick people, but i wanted to see how many nurses actually believe in the power of positive thought....
1Dr. Masaru Emoto, a water researcher from Japan, performed thought experiments on water molecules. He discovered that when these molecules were exposed to positive thought (accomplished in part by writing positive messages on the bottle of water itself), that beautiful geometric shapes would form as discovered when examining the molecules under a microscope, whereas negative thought created asymmetric, erratic shapes. This discovery that thought has a literal impact on our reality is not just found here.
2According to quantum physics, everything is energy in motion, including our thoughts. And those thoughts tend to attract similar energies. Thus, positivity will attract positivity.
3For proof of such an occurrence we simply look at the placebo effect. I once had a patient who was always in pain. He received roxicet for the pain but requested more than permitted quite often. So with the doctor's permission, my partner and i began giving him Vitamin C tablets which quite resembled the roxicet. The results were positive. The patient felt relief, just from his belief that he was receiving actual pain medication. Studies on patients with Parkinson's Disease, who experience symptoms based on an insufficient production of dopamine, go even a step further than that. They found that when some patients received a placebo, not only did the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (such as shuffling gait or hand tremors) decrease, but there was also an increase of dopamine in the brain. This is a true demonstration of the power of belief and positive thought actually affecting our lives at the cellular level.
With this type of proof before us, does it not make sense then that believing negativity and reinforcing negative thoughts daily could have the opposite effect, and actually decrease the happiness we experience and even promote illness? Definitely!
4According to Ayurveda, the medical field of India, "disease starts in the mind with thought. By cultivating the garden of your mind and generating positive thoughts, you can prevent disease."
All things are possible, and in the words of Emily Dickinson, "All but death can be adjusted".

Do you believe that positivity can help speed the healing or recovery of sick people?
