This looks like a thread where I can take a moment to vent. I just came home from a party where a woman asked me if I had figured out yet what about my life had "caused" my cancer. She is a graduate of the Esalen Institute and feels she is totally in touch with her "inner self" and that I was more "aware", I would not have gotten cancer. She asked why the hospital was not teaching this. I told her they were too busy saving lives the conventional way.
