The relation of stress and cancer is not absolutely clear although, how we handle the stress of our life can certainly adversely affect our health and harm our mind and body.
And there's clear evidence that overloading one's brain and nervous system with anxious thinking (and losing touch with one's body, especially breathing) is a recipe for poor health.
But actually, there is no official evidence that stress can be a direct cause of cancer, but there is evidence that some link exists between stress and developing certain forms of cancer and also that stress can impact on how the cancer progresses.
I remember a very interesting conference I went to in Cannes, held by a French doctor who had spent time in the US, learning a system from the work of a German, Dr Hamer, (barred from practise, as too unconventional!) and had come back with a new approach, called 'Be Happy'.
He was explaining that any psycho-somatic ailment is caused first and foremost by a situation perceived by the individual as being unresolvable, shocking etc. and was in fact a stress.
The part of the brain affected by this trauma (and associated with a particular organ) 'just had to' displace somewhere where it could be attended to and possibly resolved.
The illness manifesting in a particular organ certainly gets our attention and it is then up to us to find the cause, the upset, the stress, then unfold the solution to solve the problem, to cure the cancer. Once this psychological healing has happened the organ affected by the cancer/illness starts to cure itself, the cancer having been manifested to solve a problem originally located in the brain.
His program is/was called 'Be Happy'. The cure being to accept everything that came along.I know it looks fairly impossible at first glance, but the sessions he offered (I took one) were to teach that approach.
Very interesting indeed! The cancer appearing so we have to solve a stress in our life!
Stress and Cancer!
So if you come across someone teaching the 'Be Happy' system, take note!
My approach as a help to remain healthy or as a means to 'Be Happy' is to practise new habits that will make a major difference to how you deal with stress.
