Thread: Cancer Fighting via a POSITIVE ATTITUDE!

Positive Attitude

by John Roberts

A positive attitude can improve your body just as a healthy body improves your attitude.
––John Roberts

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working 24 hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
––Tom Blandi

Within Buddhist practice, the cultivation of certain specific positive mental qualities such as patience, tolerance, kindness, and so on can act as specific antidotes to negative states of mind such as anger, hatred, and attachment. Applying antidotes such as love and compassion can significantly reduce the degree or influence of the mental and emotional afflictions.
––The Dalai Lama (and Howard C. Cutler M.D.),
The Art of Happiness, 1998

If you don’t learn to maintain a positive attitude throughout your life, stronger and stronger as you grow older, you have missed a large part of what you could have done or enjoyed. You will never know how many people or situations turned their back on you, refusing to associate with negativism.

It is now certain, proven by medical trials, that positive, optimistic, cheerful, happy states of mind are likely to build stronger resistance to the illnesses that constantly test our defenses. They improve our physical condition and longevity through changes in the brain, immune system and other functions. This is one of the most important Cancer Fighters, especially so because it is within our control, if we have the will. It may not give us the miracle we seek, but it is one of the key weapons we can all wield in our long war of survival.

So if everybody was positive, optimistic, cheerful, and had a happy state of mind, there should be much less cancer, and even illness, in the world, thanx for the good info, rep++ :000a4:

Yeah, stress is very hard on the body. It effects our immune system as well.
So just relax more, surefire way to stay healthy.

Great post. My Aunt had Cancer last year and all through her Chemo she kept smiling. Everyone was shocked that she didn't seem affected by it, even when her hair fell out she just held her head high and kept saying that she would get through it ok. She's now 'back to normal' and tho there's a chance the Cancer might come back she just says she will deal with it if/when it happens. Can't stress enough how important it is to stay positive, I really believe that if she hadn't been so strong mentally she may not have gotten through it to be here today.
