Can your mind cure what ails you? Or conversely, can it make you sick? Well, yes - and no. We get sick for a whole host of reasons - genetics, aging, nasty organisms like viruses and bacteria, toxins in our environment, the luck of the draw. Sometimes we raise our risk factors for illness with an unhealthy diet, too little exercise, tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs or unprotected sex. Then there is the growing body of evidence that shows people who are stressed are more prone to illness and also tend to heal more slowly. Bottom line: mind-body medicine is not about magically thinking yourself well. A cheery outlook can not change the hereditary hand you have been dealt nor can it stop you from aging. However, a can-do attitude can keep you focused on developing a healthy lifestyle. And mind-body techniques can play a powerful role in your physical well being by helping you manage stress, reduce chronic pain, improve coping skills and practice relaxation.
