Mind over matter

Claiming Health

When I was a medical student I used to wear rubber thongs in the snow to prove to my fellow Germans that cold feet wouldn't give you a cold, as many believed. I was upset with being told all the time to wear a sweater, close the window or whatever people told me to do so I wouldn't catch a cold. And I was convinced that getting a cold happened because you subconsciously allowed it.

After over twenty  years as a doctor I am convinced that doctors don't catch colds and other infectious diseases from their patients simply because they tell themselves: "I can't afford that cold. I would loose too much money if I got sick now."

And I believe by now that most diseases are caused by an emotional trauma; that emotional upheavals throw the immune system or other chemical balances off so much that we get sick.

Science of Mind teaches that the affirmation of perfect health and the conscious realization that on the level of spirit we are always perfectly healthy is sufficient to produce that health also on the emotional and the physical levels.
