I always have to restate my position that I TRULY believe that IC is caused by very real physical reactions to many various things we do in our lives. So, I dont want people to think that when I post an article like this one that I am suggesting there is something wrong with you psycholgocially. However, I do also subscribe to the philosophy that our minds and bodies have two way streets. So physical effects the mental and mental effects the physical. The wonderful thing about this article is that it is one of many that points to the issue that we are not stuck with our genes. We can change the course we have been placed on genetically by rearranging our thoughts and our actions. This is wonderful because it places us in the driver’s seat of our lives, whereas we may feel like a victim of our gene pool otherwise. Often people tell me of their fears that they will get breats cancer because their mother did, or alzheimers because their father did. This course, does not have to be yours! The power of your mind is phenomenal. There is a clinic in Santa Barbara, California that specializes in treating late stage cancer patients with this kind of mental focus with tremendous success. Please read this, it is a great article: http://www.translations4wisdom.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56:scientific-proof-that-our-thoughts-affect-our-health&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18
