Researchers have already discovered that we can bolster our immunocompetence by using only positive beliefs and thoughts and by eliminating negative ones. That we can control our immunocompetence through a psycho-technique such as this should come as no surprise. For over twenty years, we have been able to control our arteries and lower blood pressure through a psycho-technique called biofeedback.
Positivism describes the psycho-technique now being used to bolster immunocompetence. It was largely developed out of the pioneering work of medical doctors such as oncologist Bernie Siegel, Herbert Benson and Dean Ornish, all of Harvard Medical School; oncologist O. Carl Simon ton M.D.; David T. Bums, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania, psychiatrist Gerald Jampolsky, M.D., originator of attitudinal healing, and many more.
The sum total of their discoveries is that when we continue to carry fear, guilt, non-forgiveness, resentment, envy, hostility and worry—and when we continue to judge and condemn others—these negative emotions are transformed into pathological changes such as cancer, ulcers, heart disease or infections.
At this stage, we should mention that psychology has long known that every feeling must first be triggered by a thought. A thought incidentally, is the same thing as creating a mental image or making a mental picture in your mind’s eye. Think a thought, or make a mental picture, of a friend or neighbor who has a more exciting spouse, a better job, a bigger house and a more luxurious car than you do, and you’ve set yourself up for a strong feeling of envy with possible overtones of resentment Within a minute or two, these negative emotions will start low-grade stress mechanisms simmering and you will begin to feel tense, uncomfortable and upset.
It’s not easy to change a negative emotion such as this once it’s begun. But it would have been extremely easy to have slid that first thought off your mind when you started comparing yourself with someone else.
If negative thoughts can produce negative emotions which can be transformed into physiological diseases such as cancer, hypertension and viral infections, then it follows that if we think positive thoughts, we can turn on positive emotions that will bolster out immunocompetence to the point where it can overcome tumors and swiftly produce armies of antibodies to annihilate a vital infection.
