Unhappy? That Is A Cause Of Illness!

Karl Note: I have included this page because it illustrates the thousands of pages on the web -- where doctors of all types are reporting that they find people get sick BECAUSE they have become unhappy.

It may also be true that people become unhappy when they become sick -- that the sickness comes first in these cases. But, this doctor and thousands of others, is reporting that the unhappiness comes first, and that heart disease FOLLOWS.

Thus, you can, indeed, become ill because of the upset you experience when you become aware of the destructive moral behavior of people around you. Whether it is the sexual promiscuity of your granddaughter, or the drug and alcohol addiction of some nephew -- you observe these behaviors, you know that they violate any common sense moral code. You get upset. YOU GET SICK!

It is not fair! But, it happens all the time.

You should realize that your granddaughter, or your nephew, are ALSO not happy. Those who engage in destructive moral behavior are not happy people -- even though they often claim to be. The statistics are grim. These people end up on the ash heaps of life!

You may well be allowing them to take you down too!

You can do something about it!

East/West Medicine
Dr. Stephen Sinatra

Stephen Sinatra, M.D. is a board-certified cardiologist and certified bioenergetic analyst, with more than 10 years of postgraduate training in the crucial role that behavior and emotion play in heart disease. For two decades he has been utilizing nutritional, psychological, and other complementary therapies along with conventional treatments in his practice in Manchester, CT.

"I believe that when we're out of balance with anything in our body, if we have intense anger and it's not released, it can cause high blood pressure. If we have incredible sadness and it's not released, it can cause heartbreak. And if you don't release the sadness, heartbreak can cause heart disease. When I became a trained psychotherapist, I looked at this whole mind/body aspect of medicine and embraced the idea that our emotional life is just as important as our physical life. And then there's a spiritual connection as well. Whenever you confront a person with an illness, you have to involve everything, including the spiritual.

[Karl Note: This doctor is onto something, but he is ignoring the fact that when YOU are angry, or sad, or upset, there generally is always some other person who is likely to be causing that problem. Yes, the problem is within you?? But, you also know that the problem is "over there!" If that other person would follow a common sense moral code and stop his or her destructive behavior, YOU could become happier. THAT OTHER PERSON, is also not happy. This is another point missed by many doctors. You are sad because your granddaughter has a different sex partner every night! What is needed is for your granddaughter to become happy, herself. that may well be necessary before her sexual behavior can change! For, you know it yourself, she is engaging in this destructive behavior because SHE is unhappy, and because SHE, in turn, has friends of hers, close to her, who are themselves engaged in destructive behavior. There IS a solution here -- but it does not involve, as this doctor will probably suggest, some "anti-depressant!"

An anti-depressant may make you UNAWARE of what your granddaughter is doing?? But, that doesn't improve anything.

A sledge hammer to your head would also do that!]

"Bioenergetics is the study of energy in one's body. I believe that it's blocked energy that causes illness. When cells pulsate, they're alive and healthy. When they become frozen and stagnant, when they become very contracted, whether that's due to stress or metabolics or environmental toxins, then we get illness. If I'm not breathing properly, and I have stagnant energy in my chest, I can predispose myself to heart disease. A woman who has terrific anger and resentment in her upper body, who has this 'energy lock,' may predispose herself to breast cancer. So bioenergetics is a type of body oriented therapy which enhances energy.

"Bioenergetics is the best kept secret in psychotherapy, because bioenergetics opens your body up. When you open yourself up, when you open your heart, the healing is incredible.

"Whatever one thinks will affect how one feels. The problem is, many times we shut off our feelings off. Every illness has a psychological and a physical component. But patients need to understand that trying to live in the brain is not healing. The healing comes when we get into the body, when we experience our body, and that's why a good doctor will integrate mind/body research to get the person into the whole aspect of healing.

"Since the discovery of penicillin in the late '30s, early '40s, the whole medical industry has become pharmaceutically induced. That can have its advantages, but unfortunately many, many doctors have become prescription writers, and that's not really where good medicine is at. It's good for certain aspects of medicine, but it's not where the real healing comes in.

"When a doctor or a health professional nurtures a patient's own healing process, that's when miracles happen. People are powerful. The body wants to be taken care of. And, remember, the body tells the truth. When you're having an illness, you've got to look at it and say, 'What did I do to influence that or create that?'

"People are screaming for a health practitioner that will see them. Not just their heart or their cancer or their arthritis, but see them; that's what people really want. The health practitioner of the future will have to sit down with the patient and see the whole patient. See them in their emotional, psychological, even spiritual struggle. And when they do that, that's when the real healing takes place."
