You can help your body fight cancer naturally by controlling your thoughts and emotions. In the book, Options in the Fight Against Cancer-Rethinking Cancer, Ruth Sackman says studies have revealed that many people "who develop cancer often have a lifelong emotional pattern that includes a sense of hopelessness," anxiety, lack of self-esteem, repressed anger etc.

On the other hand, there are many people who have been diagnosed with cancer who live much longer than their doctor expected. Some have even recovered from this deadly disease in the face of insurmountable odds.

I personally know of a man who has cancer throughout his body. The doctor gave him only 3 months to live but a year later he is still alive. This man keeps himself busy--he goes hunting and fishing and does the things he enjoys doing. He is not wasting any time lamenting his situation, instead he makes the most of every day.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, one of your biggest battles will take place in your mind. If you are able to keep your thoughts and emotions positive, at least half the battle is won. Focus on the good things in your life. Refuse to allow yourself to dwell on the things that depress you or make you feel bad.

Do something you enjoy every day. Whether it's shopping for clothes or spending time with family and friends or simply watching your favorite sitcom on TV, set a goal to do something that makes you feel happy.
