do people with illnesses bring it upon themselves with their negative thinking?

Question

i.e cancer

Answer 1

Yes,could be,also stress.Opposite is true with positive thinking,and not stressed can heal.

Answer 2

Life is a challenge that is different for everyone. One sometimes is born with a weakness or burden to carry. You can sometimes do all the right things and still get sick. We have illnesses that have not yet been figured our by science. The world is full of problems, that need to be solved medically. Spiritual practices can only do so much, which can be quite a bit. People who are sick, can still be strong spiritual individuals, who can help in the cause that is affecting themselves, in some way, with God's help. Everyone can do good in this world, no matter what condition they find themselves in. God will be good, to those who contribute positively to this world.

Answer 3

Not always. Although studies do show that people who are positive tend to be sick less.

As far as cancer goes, I don't think that negative thinking could cause it. But they've proven that people who have a more positive/hopeful outlook tend to go into remission before someone who does not.

Answer 4

Negative thinking does bring negative karma... however in this case you are dealing with the limitations of the body... every body can only take so much..... i think that the body is just a vessel and its weeknesses can not be a direct representation of the soul... however if you attack your body with cigaretts and liquor than you have to be responsible for the concequences...

Answer 5

no...it is the ignoring of the dietary laws...

clean and unclean....

the unhealthy eating habits, consumption of processed, chemically altered, additives, food dyes, pesticides, fillers, nitrates, consumption of unclean animal products, hormones,steroids, growth enhancing drugs, e-coli.....


fortified foods, synthetic foods, fake foods with no nutritional value....all of this alters and effects the brain and feeds into the negative thinking....poisons the body...


the body can not digest this or and that so the DR gives you another pill to fix what the other pill, etc...

stop eating garbage and the body will work properly and be able to digest the food eaten....


Satan has found the best weapon of mass destruction/deception.....fast food, eat the other white meat, have another beer, eat a twinkie....


the truth hurts and the thumbs down, but at least think about it....

Answer 6

I believe there is a statistical connection between recovery rates and "positive" thinking, although this is well outside my field of expertise, so I suppose there could be one between "negative" thinking and getting ill. Generally speaking, though, I doubt it. I don't think viruses especially care what you're thinking.

Answer 7

I don't know. I have heard that worrying can make you sick as well as depression. But I guess we all have these cancer cells in us, it's just when they get off balance that they begin to grow and multiply. I may be wrong.
