It is well understood that thoughts can (without a doubt) heal, but they can also precipitate sickness and especially heart-disease. Stress, which can be defined as negative thoughts, causes the internal environment of the human body to become acidic, thus setting the stage for illness and disease. These negative thoughts may manifest as conscious or unconscious in origin.

The stress of living in today’s environment is higher than at any time in history. Driving a car, for example, raises stress levels in the body up to 1,000 times normal levels. When a person is driving in a car combined with talking on a cell phone, stress levels can go as high as 5,000 times the norm. Walking, conversely, actually reduces stress. Worrying about money, arguing with relatives, friends and co-workers, watching scary gruesome movies and television shows, reading the news, all increase stress levels dramatically. The good new is that it can be reversed. As Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change!"

For many years I've used a questionaire from Cheraskin and Ringsdorf's book, "Psychodietetics" to identify people with glucose dysregulation. These people probably have low blood sugar reducing cerebral cortical civilizing function at the same time as high adrenaline (epinephrine.) The latter is secreted to increase blood glucose from the liver stores, but at the same time probably pumps up the parts of the brain concerned with emotion. This combination can probably contribute to people "losing it."
Alexander Schauss showed that replacing junk foods with good foods, in vending machines at a corrective institution, reduced the violence there.I think this is in his book "Diet, Crime and Delinquency."
Manageing diet is another really important part of this rage problem.

Dr. Mercola has touched on an extremely important point relating to the future of healthcare and the treatment of syndromes and diseases. The result of this study is not surprising considering the physiologic changes that occur in the cardiovascular and endocrine systems when a person is extremely angry or experiencing rage. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. It is becoming more and more clear that the suppression and internalization of emotional energy over time can and does cause cellular dysfunction resulting in depression of the immune system and causing symptoms relating to various syndromes and disease. Thus, a major, if not the major, focus of healing will soon involve therapies that result in the release of negative energy and empower patients to handle their emotions in a healthy way.

Fortunately, more and more physicians and other healers are training in therapies that address this issue without the use of prescription medication or invasive techniques. As Dr. Mercola discusses on his website, he uses emotional freedom technique to optimize his patients emotional health. I have chosen to apply Mickel therapy to help patients with various syndromes and conditions. Others are using slightly different methods to address these issues. It is most gratifying to see that healthcare practitioners and patients alike are beginning to understand the connection between emotions, energy and health.

I recently learned of a study that measured the breath of an angry person. Researchers found that there were enough toxins in the breath to kill a guinea pig.

A person who is angry for an hour produces enough toxins to kill more than 80 guinea pigs.

Unfortunately, I do not have a source for this. If you know the source, I'd appreciate an email or post here.

I would like to add that as an EFT practitioner, I've found nothing anywhere near as effective as EFT in dealing with anger and anger-related dis-ease. It is simply the most powerful tool I have ever run across.  

It is well known that thoughts can have an effect on your recovery from a major illness.  People who tend to dwell on the negative things that happen to them tend to take longer to recover.  Stress is not the events but how you view them and that can make all the difference in your reaction to events that happen to you.
