From the book YOU CANT AFFORD A NEGATIVE THOUGHT. Quoted for truth:
From a purely medical point of view all this negative thinking suppresses the immune system, raises the blood pressure and creates a general level of stress and fatigue in the body. In short, infections cardiovascular irregularities, degeneration of muscles and random growth of unwanted cells get more opportunity.
From a rhoughts-are-creative point of view, our worry about a particular disease tends to create that disease. There's an old saying "What you fear may come upon you.". It's old because there is a degree if truth in it. Medical students and psychology students will often take on the symptoms of the disease or disorder they are currently studying and, in some cases, produce the full-blown disease. The thought "Oh my God, it's cancer!" every time you cough might be misinterpreted as an invitation or even a directive.
If you are sick, thinking it might be AIDS or lung cancer or Lyme disease, and it turns out to be just the flu, you say "Thank God, it's the flu!". Such enthusiasm over the flu may create more flu.
