Neither my father nor my brother were into meditation. They just did what the doctor told them to do. My father-in-law tried the mind control business but finally ended up having part of his stomach removed because of ulcers.
What Fetzer is talking about comes close to faith healing, and you know who is at fault when that doesn't work.

When it comes to my health, I generally do what the doctors say to do. Meditation/ prayer can decrease stress, but stress relief is not all that one needs to heal most diseases.

What do I have to lose? My ability to think critically. What do I have to gain that I can't get some other way?
