I am quite amazed at the spectacular work ….all over the world…..that has been done to understand the psychological causes/inducements of diseases….

One name that comes to mind …is that of MARY LOUISE HAYES…and holistic healing….

The idea of holistic healing is quite simple to understand by our “feel”….but a lot more difficult …if one is inclined towards …a rigorous intellectual explanation….

We all know that our emotions can alter our state of health….in fact , a majority of the ailments are emotionally induced ailments….

This fact has been recognized by the puritans as well !

Skeptics would normally have a field day in dismissing the idea of faith -healing , hypnotism , distance-healing …and many other forms of alternate therapies….

While I am a great believer of THOUGHTS-TURNING-INTO-CHEMICALS-AND- VICE-VERSA…… but I still am a fence sitter with respect to the so called alternate healing claims !

Truth is…probably… hidden behind the war between conservatives on one side …and …over-enthusiastic claimants of panacea…on the other !
