The more fully we can label the pathology as simply What Is So, the less emotional burden it can be and the less likely we are to let associated anxieties become the actual burden of dis-ease. > > More on this for certain. Thank you for an excellent observation and question. > Peaceful day to all, Tom > > J. Thomas Acklin MD > 571-278-4326 Tom, Even though I did find your post interesting and somewhat in alignment of what and how I present things for healing I'm curious to how it related to Jimmy's post. And in alignment with your post I do love Candace Pert's (author of Molecules of Emotion) comments about spontaneous cancer cures. And the word 'acceptance' has NOTHING to do with those fantastic spontaneous cures. John M. La Tourrette, PhD PS isn't this a GREAT group with some fantastically knowledgeable and experienced folks? Thank you Tom for being here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
