Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Here's a study of studies that show a link between positive thoughts and cure rates. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,8123-978120,00.html Note the veggie slant at the beginning. They also need put more emphasis on the attitude of the doctors. A person is more apt to get well if the doctor believes, or appears to believe, that they can. The article has the right idea, but ends on a negative slant. Judith Alta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who are in better health tend to have more positive attitudes. I don't see how one could conduct a controlled experiment to test causality in the other direction. > They also need put more emphasis on the attitude of the doctors.
