We found this wonderful article in the Sydney Morning Herald. Its about the quickly evolving area of medicine relating to disease, and how it is affected by the mind. Its not just a thought bubble now, but is rooted in scientific fact. Simply if you believe, then you get positive changes that can be measured objectively. Pretty cool!

How many people living in Melbourne are causing their own disease from working too hard, being too stressed??!!

We encourage you to read the article</a>, and the book sounds like a ripper, we are certainly going to buy it!
