Do you advocate misleading suffering cancer patients with false notions? What about those who get no result from positive thinking? Are they to be blamed for being “too negative”? Take a look at these words of actual patients: http://www.humansideofcancer.com/chapter2/chapter.2.htm
The researchers do not dispute the value of positive attitude in coping with illness. They simply report the apparent fact that the cancer itself takes no notice.
I prefer to leave empirical questions to those who are trained to investigate them. We may not always like the results, but it’s better than living in a dream world.

Just two weeks ago, a woman our church shared her miraculous account of living with cancer for over 15 years! She wasn’t supposed to make it this long.The doctors look at her and marvel and have no answer for why she has lasted. But she has a family she loves and a faith that is deep. Call her “positive” and blessed with faith that is greater than her prognosis. Call it positive thinking, too- but whatever you do, don’t call the researchers who are busy with their nose in their “findings”.

Unless you are God/Goddess or whatever you perceive your Higher Power to be how would you know whether it will work or not ….and how do you measure whether it works? If you are able to have peace within does that count?

You are absolutely right!.
I’m not too sure about these scientist and their researches, but personally, I feel that positive thinking will have a positive effect on those cancer patients and their loved ones. As they say, “Mind over Matter”. So let’s stay positive everyone.
