Trying to Estimate Cancer Rates in Ancient Times - NYTimes.com

According to this research, cancer is not a modern disease, it has been around since time immemorial. I guess what is new is just naming of a disease that had no name in the past. Diseases I believe is part of the human condition and we cannot escape it. we are unique individuals and some disease that might affect one person might not affect another in the same way. However, our modern scientific gurus has done everything to kill us themselves by the frightening pictures they paint about diseases.  The professionals and researchers have scared us into shedding our shirts to raise funds to cure a disease which there could never be a cure for, because we a humans and tumors are just part of the picture.  Just as we cannot stop children with disabilities from being born, no matter what we do (unless of course we abort all children with spotted disabilities and even then), because we are human and the workings of our bodies are a mystery to us all including the brightest scientist. We have to work with what we have.
     Could it be that our thoughts about the diseases we get are what kill us. If when diagnosed with say cancer, we accept it for what it is and focus on living rather than preparing for death? Could it be that fears and resolution produce more of what we fear and the fear of early death becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I was listening to Wayne Dyer tape and in one of them he relayed a story told to him by Deepak Chopra whose friend, an Internist, died shortly after a spot on his lungs was discovered. It turned out that that spot had been on his lungs forever. It is believed that this man gave up as soon as the spot was found, he interpreted that as a death sentence.
So, take care of yourself, most of all be happen and try to lead a stress free life and let nature do the rest.
