I find this topic to be very interesting.
I have always had an open mind but it is a somewhat analytical
open mind.

If an extremely positive person dies from
their cancer after 3 years, how do we know if he or
she may have died after 1 year if not for their positive
attitude? I don't think we will ever have the answers
to these questions.

I have difficulty dismissing the role of our immune
system in fighting disease and I believe that my
emotions affect my immune system. I don't think
any of our discussions have been about having one
or two "down" days. That's a given.

I know that we have some differing views about this
subject. Some have very strong beliefs - Andi comes
to mind with her interesting, passionate and enthusiastic
Threads. I am glad we can have these discussions. Thanks
Lolly.
