Hubbard was writing and speaking about this in the 1950s. Too bad so few took him seriously back then....

It's very true. I myself, saw my mother survive 3 cancers... It was very hard. I had to neglect my emotions because me and my mother have clashing personalities. The stress that we dealt with was something out of a TV series...

Of course, as the body is an electrochemical machine, being happy and stress free enables the brain to synchronize it's frequency with the body to properly regulate it's chemistry.

It all makes sense. Super article that clears all skepticism...

What about relationship between emotions and other diseases?

Great article of what many have known in the non-science community. When I had my first cancer journey, WHERE and WHEN I had it was no surprise to me - it manifested in my cervix, my female parts AND it did so after a violent traumatic end to my marriage. The where was the area I held all my emotional pain, a lot, directly related to being a woman. The first doc didn’t believe me when I said “Something is wrong. I feel it.” and he denied me a Pap smear as “it isn’t due yet. Take more Xanax.” It was a year after I survived a near-death experience and though that was ultimately lovely I knew I still had much to do - I was also still healing from the trauma of how I almost died. I called my obgyn and a gentle and kind man who knew me well said “c’mon in.” Long story short I had cervical cancer in situ - had I listened to the first doc it would have penetrated and moved to my uterus and onward. Know your body, learn from it, listen to what it is telling you. Intuition doesn’t lie.

I have another long battle cancer story for another time - yet will say that too presented after a long period of unmitigated circumstantial stress. It had lay dormant in my spine and marrow and could have stayed that way for the next 50 years. It’s important to note I am a HSP (highly sensitive person) and was the family “fixer”, the go to person. As well I was addicted to people pleasing. It all fits.

Though that cancer was initially instigated from chemical poisoning due to my work in landscaping/building gardens, it’s coming “alive” was invigorated by my life at the time. Considered a “blood cancer” it was rabid in its attempt to eat me alive. Gross. That time too I had a doc who didn’t believe me. I found another who did.

Had I followed the time table of the first doc, I’d be dead and as a lawyer told me my children would have been able to successfully sue her for malpractice yet because I saved my own life, by my actions, and lived, there were no legal (albeit justified) actions we could take. I was alive, God helped me get through the treatment (and the aftermath) - as the oncologist told me “We have no time to wait (amidst the stress of my life I still wanted to try meditation and natural methods) because we’re at a real danger point - the cancer has already travelled below your diaphragm.” I still think it strange that exposure to a chemical caused the cancer and it was chemicals that were going to kill it (and everything else). It is not strange though that it was prayers and Love and my choice, my will to live (though halfway through my specific type of chemo cocktail treatment I was not so sure I wanted to anymore) and I made it.🙏🏼 Grateful.

I am reading Your Body Keeps The Score again, by Bessel Van Der Kolk MD written in 2015 it was eye opening when I first read it in 2019. This is a fascinating subject! Thank you for your work on nutrition, toxins and mindset TTAC!! I appreciate Gabor Mate's work too!
