Mind over Matter

I have recently discovered a group of Japanese men who dedicate their lives to overcoming male-pattern baldness. They claim to do this by focussing all their concentration on the hair folicles. This procedure can take up to 20 YEARS or more, but if they are dedicated it works.

Recently my "terminal" brain tumor has shrunk, something it's not supposed to be capable of. After the diagnosis I was destroyed; I fell into a deep hole that I couldn't climb out of (at least at the time). Soon after, the positive energy started to flow, my friends tried to stay as positive as possible, and so did I.

The results of my most recent MRI show the tumor reduced in size by 1/3rd the width of a human hair: not much but it is measurable. I feel great! I am doing some push-ups and a few situps, and the pressure in my skull is noticeably reduced.

Is it fate? I didn't take ANY form of treatment-I was told it was terminal and I didn't want to be sick for the 'rest of my life', so I refused. Was it lack of treatment? I think it's positive thinking. Back in September when things were getting really bad for me, I had a grand mal seizure-and then decided that I wasn't going to die, that I would continue to believe in myself, my friends, and the power of positive thinking. I'm not out of the woods yet! I get my 2nd MRI results back this friday and I have a feeling it's going to be good news.

Either way, first good days I've had in 18 months. Mind over matter!

Comment by Kip Gordon on February 11, 2009 at 3:39pm: Haha, no, no worries with the ink although my ampallang piercing has to come out every time....kinda tickles!

Comment by TS on February 11, 2009 at 2:26pm: Wow, and more good thoughts coming your way. (and P.S. so is it just urban myth that MRIs are not okay w/tattoos/metal-in-ink)? Anyway, sorry to digress - glad you had a good day, I know how that feels!
