CBS Sunday Morning
"Just how powerful IS positive thinking? Some cancer patients credit mindset for survival, despite experts' warnings....."
This was a great piece on CBS Sunday Morning this morning. Having gone through my own incredibly challenging times with injury and health issues having been on both sides of the debate of whether a positive attitude really has an effect on ones health, this piece and these experts talk about the facts and although they may upset some individuals it seems that an attitude may help behavior but the experts are still researching whether there is an the effect of a disease on the body and the hope or positive thoughts of the person. If you look at the large pix one can always be reminded that someone who had anger about their situation or illness did make it through and someone who had positive thoughts sadly did not, it doesn't make one better than the other. The pressure for the sick to stay positive and when the time comes that the illness takes its toll, those have a sense of guilt at their last breath just doesn't seem right...Interesting...and thought provoking.
