Dear Barb,
I just wrote to another gracious individual about what I feel is the
important necessity to seek out a medically controlled program to
revitalize the immune sytem. What i failed to mention is that each of
these programs also provides a psychoneuroimmunlogist (PNI therapist) to
discuss ways and means to be rid of the stress factor and guide you with
programs of meditation and guided imagery. So therefore, what ever you
do in the field of nutrition and revitatlization to boost the immune
system, it is also essential for your mind to be able to overcome the
disease. If you speak to or hear or read the various great books or
minds of the Bernie Siegels, or Greg Andersons, or the Carl Simontons
they feel it is the mindset or the ability of the mind to be the key
factor in overcoming the season, the will, the determiniation, the
agressive take charge method that enables you to seek out the
conventionals and alternatives with knowlege and the recommendation for
stress free lifestyles.
God Bless you Barbara you are on the right track. Pls continue the
effort and as far as hindsight, its now and the future that counts. Take
care
Marty and Barb
