Wise words from India

When I first came to the clinic I remember seeing a sign posted that meant alot to me. I consider myself a very positive person, some might say too positive to the point of being unrealistic. However, I find that here in India there is a subtle wiseness that continues to teach me things I did not know or realize. The sign at the clinic says the following:

When you think positive your body makes good cells and when you think negative your body makes bad cells

This may be partially the answer to why Jake has beaten the odds of this disease so far. He is full of positive energy and optimism

From time to time, Dr. Sibia contributes to this blog as a comment and each time I find the comment wise, insightful and important. I enjoy posting his comments for all to see easily. While I continue to have cautious optimism in fighting this disease I try to always remain positive.

As Dr. Sibia states:
The whole body has the power to heal and regenerate itself. Stem cells have proved that each cell in the body has enough memory and capability to make a new "you" - only we still don't know well enough how to use that capability. I strongly believe that we doctors provide the environment for the body to heal itelf - the main process is done by an inbuilt 'software program' that is present inside each of us. In Jake's case Cytotron has provided the electronic environment and rest is done by Jake himself. For this positive thinking and encouragement by all play a very important role. When you think positive your body makes good cells and when you think negative your body makes bad cells - It is for you to decide which cells you want more in your body.
