Re: Wishful thinking, rethink this.

Hi, Savagegrace,

Nice piece of thinking!

Stress as the determining factor of health.

Therefore, in order to prove the value of a medication, researchers had better choose subjects who are content, yet ill with the ailment they wish to study.

Or, ill, and who are pre-treated with kindness and relief of stress.



I'm coming at this from a different angle...where it is the easy acceptance of a simple statement that causes the individual to notice opportunities to make it 'real'.

...That attitude brings healing, automatically, if the subject doesn't 'think' about it too much...muddying the waters with conflict and confusion.

Do you think that is 'magical' or 'wishful' thinking on my part?
