The condition that does affect the immune system is stress. Dr. Candace Pert demonstrated scientifically in her book, Molecules Of Emotion, that stress compromises the immune system, leaving us open to diseases that we could have otherwise warded off.

What causes stress? Doing something we don’t want to do, like staying in an unhappy relationship or job. In his book, Radical Healing, Ralph Ballantine interviewed the head of a prestigious cancer institute, who told him that virtually everyone who came in with a diagnosis of a terminal disease was stuck in some life situation that they didn’t know how to get out of. Those who took the diagnosis as a wake up call and made life changes would be cured or go into remission. Those who remained stuck in their stressful unhappiness would die.

Also, stopping ourselves from doing something we do want to do can cause stress. Being true to ourselves is the way to keep stress at a minimum and keep our immune systems strong and healthy.
