Stomach and digestion are your physical assimilationprocess. Digestive problems occur when you have aninability to 'digest' or absorb what is going on in your environment or inside your head or heart.
Chronic pain: Resentment and bitterness cause inflammationand pain. Stubborn, inflexible resentment goes to the knees and
joints--the parts of your body designed to be flexible. Arthritis isbottled-up hurt.
Cancer is a deep secret, hatred, guilt, or grief 'eating away' atyou. Breast and uterine cancer reveals a lack of nurturing or self-nurturing in your life, or an inability to nurture others.

The Science of PsychoNeuroImmunology (PNI)
The term Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) wascoined by Dr. Robert Ader in 1975.
PNI is the study of the interaction betweenpsychological processes (primarily stress) and thenervous and immune systems of the human body.
PNI = Mind-Body Medicine is an approach to healingthat harnesses the power of thoughts, beliefs, andemotions to affect health positively (Cassileth 1998)

The Problem with the PNI Approach to Illness
PNI or Mind-body approach may unintentionally
create the notion that people are responsible for their
illnesses because they lack the proper mental
attitude; aside from being scientifically inaccurate,such blame can induce feelings of distress and guilt
(Castleman 1996).
Moreover, if this is so, then they should easily beable to change this negative behavior.

The 3 Premises to Immunotherapeutic Approach
Premise # 1:
The body’s natural immune-system is
designed to defend against all illnesses,
cancer and chronic illness included.
Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cells that constitutea major component of the innate immune system.

Where Does Healing Takes Place?
The Human Mind: a mechanism whose parts are
split mostly between two agencies; the conscious
and subconscious minds.
The Subconscious Mind: The single most powerful
goal achieving agency known to man.
The subconscious is the level at which all running
programs of individual nature are accessible for

The Placebo Effect – Our Ally
The Placebo effect is the tendency of any treatment,even an inert or ineffective one, to exhibit results simplybecause the recipient believes that it will work.
The Nocebo effect is the causation of sickness (or death)by expectations of sickness (or death) and by associatedemotional states.
The pivotal understanding in mind-body healing is thatyou must actually believe enough in the possibility of healing to tell yourself so with conviction.

Harnessing the Power of the Placebo Effect
Hypnosis is a heightened state of belief. Hypnosis isthe intentional activation of the placebo effect.
This means bypassing your "critical faculty", theconscious mind, and painting a healing picture inyour subconscious-mind.
Your subconscious-mind will transmit the imaginedoutcome via your nervous system to your bodywhich will manifest it in conformance with your thinking.
