To me, because cancer is such a multidimensional disease, there is no one direct cause or cure, no one shoe to fit all. I believe attitude may impact the disease and the course of the disease. For some lucky few, yes I do believe it may possibly cure or put into indefinite remission.
If you look at some double/blind experiments, and the placebo effects. Does that not show how the power of the mind can potentially work for some people?
