you think positively enough that the 'bad' cells in your body be over come by the 'good' cells? my question to you then is how is that any different than praying hot adult looking sex for your friend's health, or praying to stop, or anything? this sounds awfully like 'the secret' you know, if you think positively enough you can do anything? personally, i rage against this idea on all fronts. i think its so dangerously close to blaming the victim that it makes my stomach turn a bit. i would like someone to tell my friend who discovered he had an extremely rare form of cancer at the age of 34 that if he just thought a bit more positive he would be cancer free. (btw, he is a very spiritual guy, and has singlehandedly changed more opinions and touched more lives than any other human being i know, and is chock full of positive thoughts. i mean, you dont survive or surgeries and two years of chemo being a downer!) i agree with you that prayer/meditation/positive thoughts can change the way we react to things, but ultimately, i dont think it changes the outcome. i think the only thing that brings change is action.
