Hi,
This may sound a strange question but how much can our minds effect our health.
I know that anxiety can play havoc with our immune system, leaving us vulnerable to infections, I know that if I have been very anxious about my health, my healing is always slower. So can we actually make ourselves ill due to worry?
In the same vain can we cure illness by being positive and upbeat and not worrying.
I remember my doctor said something along the lines of you can think yourself well so surely the reverse must apply?
They say you are what you eat, maybe your health is a lot to do with what you feed your brain; what you think.
