Sorry, Leo, only shows I should read my email in
order. A gentleman, Ragbir Dhillon of Toronto told a
story during a seminar on stress at a toastmaster's
convention in Toronto. He know a lady who had surgery
for abdominal pains, and the exploration showed
'inoperative abdominal cancer' she decided to spend
her last six months up at the cottage, away from her
stress, and just try to enjoy herself. After six
months she was still healthy - past expectation.
Further checks showed her to be completely cancer
free. I believe that her removal from stress allowed
her the spontaneous healing that she had.
