Repeatedly, I often say that becoming ill can be a gift if one chooses to look at the situation from another point of view. It is an invitation to look at the path a person’s life has taken up until the point that illness set it and see what events or circumstances led up to the illness. Changing one’s life and or practices can change the course that that person was previously set upon. If one takes illness as a way of making positive change, everything can change-for the better-emotionally and physically. And, not only will your life change, but, the life of your family as well will be effected by the changes in diet and lifestyle and general outlook.

This article was just sent to me by a patient and he very eloquently points out these points in a more clinical way. But, I have said all of this before and agree with it completely. Please read it, I think it is very well-put and provokes a lot of wonderful, positive thought.
