Your thought patterns and your health

Most people attract sickness to themselves because of the way they treat sick people.

Your thought patterns and your health

The truth is that your body system is made up of a whole new world of cells, tissues, organs, etc. and they are all at your command.

Most people attract sickness to themselves because of the way they treat sick people or because of the fear they project about a certain disease.

This is not to say you should not maintain a healthy lifestyle. What I mean is that you can build your body system with the power of your mind, to the extent that it sustains you and rejects sickness.

Please if you have not perfected the use of imagination and you fall sick, kindly go and see your doctor and take the medications prescribed for you diligently. Don’t risk your life.

Ted Kaptchuk, an American author, researcher, and Professor of Medicine and Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School made a startling finding sometime ago.

According to Harvard Magazine, Kaptchuk discovered that placebo treatments (interventions with no active drug ingredients) can stimulate real physiological responses, from changes in heart rate and blood pressure to chemical activity in the brain, in cases involving pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and even some symptoms of Parkinson’s.

According to Havard Magazine,“Two weeks into Ted Kaptchuk’s first randomized clinical drug trial, nearly a third of his 270 subjects complained of awful side effects. All the patients had joined the study hoping to alleviate severe arm pain: carpal tunnel, tendinitis, chronic pain in the elbow, shoulder, wrist.

“In one part of the study, half the subjects received pain-reducing pills; the others were offered acupuncture treatments. And in both cases, people began to call in, saying they couldn’t get out of bed. The pills were making them sluggish, the needles caused swelling and redness; some patients’ pain ballooned to nightmarish levels.

“Curiously, they were exactly what patients had been warned their treatment might produce. But even more astounding, most of the other patients reported real relief, and those who received acupuncture felt even better than those on the anti-pain pill.

“These were exceptional findings: no one had ever proven that acupuncture worked better than painkillers. But Kaptchuk’s study didn’t prove it, either. The pills his team had given patients were actually made of cornstarch; the “acupuncture” needles were retractable shams that never pierced the skin. The study wasn’t aimed at comparing two treatments. It was designed to compare two fakes.”

According to Google, a placebo treatment is a process whereby a placebo, which is a fake treatment, an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution is administered to a patient and it sometimes improves their condition because they have the ‘expectation or mindset’ that it will heal them.

Note that placebo is not a drug or a brand name of a drug, it is just nothing, has no healing properties, but when the researchers told the patients that it has power to heal, they took it and got well.

Now, here is my question: If there is no active medicinal agent in the pill, how and why did the patients get well?

The doctors fed the patients' minds with information, which they processed through their body system that sent signals saying help has come, now you can be healed.

Your mind loves to be in a normal state until it is forcefully or subtly jolted by a superior information or proof, before it moves to the new state. Sometimes, with difficulty.

You can keep live a long and agile life, without being sick again if you can change your thought pattern.

Speak to everything you eat with gratitude and instruct that it nourishes your body. Don’t put a limit to how long you should live, there is nothing like old people’s sickness. If you believe it, you will get it.

Relegate fear of sickness or diseases. Fear sends out negative signals that bring for you a multiple harvest of what you have projected.

Feel compassion for those who are sick and bedridden, and send out projections of healing towards them.

Speak to your body with love, gratitude and project thoughts of healing and health.

Don't ignore your doctor’s advice or live a carefree lifestyle without taking necessary steps to take care of, and protect your body.

I have just exposed you to the possibilities inherent in your mind and the extent to which you can apply it.

An assumption, though false, if sustained, soon becomes hard fact.
