Replies to Deepak article on Why People Get Sick

Some replies to "Why People Get Sick"

--Some people get sick because they expect to. –God knows what is in their hearts. God answers their prayers and fulfills their expectations.

--Some people get sick, or sicker, after they are diagnosed with a disease. –Well if they were NOT diagnosed, they will NOT get sick and sicker! It is the diagnosis, people. Do not go to your doctor for any tests. Only go to some Ayurveda medic.

--Disease brings certain benefits, known as "secondary gain," that make it positive. The classic example is a child who pretends to be sick in order to get more love and attention, but adults find secondary gains of their own, such as not having to take responsibility for their lives or finding an escape from a situation they can't cope with. – Is this not well known and well accepted already?

--Some people get sick because they want to give up, or even die. – Does depression not lower immune response? Is this also not well known and well accepted already?

--Some people have nothing better to do than to get sick. So they choose to be sick! Again God listens to their prayers!

SO ARE ALL MYSTERIES OF GETTING SICK SOLVED. NO? Or do we still need to look into some “subtle factors that few experts have adequately examined.”? Subtle factors, indeed!

I want to thank Deepak and the person who wrote in last time this was posted and said that staying healthy is a mentality. I had been getting sick (colds, etc.) a lot for past two years or so due to stress. After reading Deepak's article and then what the other person said about health being a mentality I have not gotten sick anymore since then. I just changed my thinking where now I assume that I WON'T get sick rather than assuming that I WILL. It sounds simple but it works for me. NOthing fancy I just assume that I won't get sick so I don't. Thanks
