Is It Really All In Your Head?

You've been battered by a recent layoff, and high-stakes job interviews are taxing your nerves. As your financial worries mount, so does your anxiety level begin to reach to extreme heights, which in turn creates the "Fight or Flight Syndrome".  To remain in such a stressful and psychological state of mind, one can actually begin to feel ill and under normal situations, making an appointment with the medical doctor hoping the Standard Blood Tests will reveal your symptoms would seem the expected course of action. But, you could be setting yourself up for an unexpected disappointment.

When healthcare professionals cannot find the cause of your experienced symptoms, they often conclude, "It's all in your head". It's an easy way for them to hide their ignorance and invite you to feel guilty or stupid. But that conclusion might prove to be more accurate than we ever imagined.

Brain researchers have found chemical and physical evidence supporting the notion that the mind and body functions as a unity. What happens in your mind, your mental activity, is inevitably reflected in your body... and vice-versa. This means you can actually think yourself into becoming physically ill.

When we cling to negative thoughts and intense emotions, we prompt the body to produce and release "messenger molecules" and "stress hormones." These molecules spread throughout the body sending negative news to every organ and system. Our bodies respond accordingly.

The negative thoughts you think actually become adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisone, dopamine, norepinephrine, ACTH and other chemical substances that alter the delicate biochemical balance and can weaken the immune system. When your immune system is disrupted, you become susceptible to all kinds of diseases which you would ordinarily "shrug off." When we dwell on angry thoughts, anticipated fearsome events, frustrations, bitterness, embarrassment, hopelessness, discouragement, and other negative attitudes, we release into our bodies the chemical causes of some diseases.

According to Dr. Roy Walford, Professor of Pathology at UCLA School of Medicine, all diseases, whether we label them the flu, asthma, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease or AIDS, ALL diseases are actually artificial labels given to various sets of symptoms. Walford concludes, "All diseases are nothing but drug-induced, progressive toxemia (or poison), either endogenous (internally generated) or exogenous (externally generated)." We are used to thinking that disease is always the result of being attacked by something outside our bodies. Now we know our thinking habits can be equally responsible for the creation of illness.

Dr. Arnold Fox, author of the "Beverly Hills Medical Diet" writes, "Stress is the reaction (see Fig. #4) of your body, mind, or spirit to the facts that impinge upon our lives. You choose the reaction; it is not forced upon you by the hand of God." This is not to blame you for your illness. So don't feel guilty when you become sick. Rather it is to inform you and to empower you by realizing that your chosen reactions, your attitudes, your thoughts, your ideas are the "stressostats" of your body. And you have more power and control over them than you were ever taught.

Bitterness, anger and hostility (long known to be related to cardiovascular disease), the relentless pressure of competition, unforgiving and unreleased memories of abuse, chronic unrelieved tensions, frustrations and negative thoughts...all can automatically produce an overabundance of disease-producing drugs. Whether injected, swallowed, or created by your thinking, drugs are the true "causes" of all dis-eases.

The good news is that if you can think yourself sick, you can also think yourself well. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has clearly shown that positive thoughts and attitudes, such as gratitude, joy, compassion, delight, relaxation, peacefulness, love and acceptance all create a different set of chemicals. Let's call them "balance hormones" or "wellness messenger molecules." These drugs lead to bodily (systemic) balance, harmony and health within your body.

It seems that the nature of your thinking ("all in your head?") has a lot more impact on your sickness or wellness than you might ever have imagined. Change your thinking patterns and you literally change the status of your body's biochemistry which, in turn, can create your health and well being.

These include stress, infection, oxygen uptake, free radical damage, immune system activity, allergies, parasitic activity and precursors to chronic illnesses.
