HOW EMOTION AFFECTS HEALTH

(the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer) 

Many do not know but a silent health threat for men lurks in the form of negative emotions. Our frame of mind, whether dealing with stress, depression, loneliness, anger, jealousy or unhappiness, can seriously impact the state of our health. As we go through life we don’t always realize the pattern we are creating thru our habits, as well as its consequences. Like any bad habit, we begin to adapt to being continuously sad, irritable, angry, keep grudges, stressed out, shoulder the burden of others or unhappy and the health implications may go un-noticed until we begin to feel the physical affects.   (the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer) 

Every bad habit chips away at our ability to live with good health and good mindsets. As with any type of bad habit that you’ve tried to break in the past, being consumed with negativity is very difficult to correct. It can be done, though. First you’ve got to be aware that this is what is happening, then you’ve got to develop coping skills and new tools to manage your emotional state.   (the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer) 

H-A-B-I-T  therefore, is a killer if we wallow in the wrong ones.  And the thing is, IT IS VERY HARD to GET RID OF SUCH.  Let us spell the word H-A-B-I-T.   If you take the letter "H", you still have "a bit."  You take the letters "H and A", you still have a "bit" (of it).  You take the "H, A and B", YOU STILL HAVE IT!!!

Ergo, if we are to get ourselves used to something.  We must make sure it is something good for us and for others.  Otherwise, our lives are gonna spiral out of control in one aspect or another.  (the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer) 

According to articlebase.com, the following are typical personality traits found in those with cancer: 

1. Being highly conscientious, caring, dutiful, responsible, hard-working, and usually of above average intelligence. 

2. Exhibits a strong tendency toward carrying other people's burdens and toward taking on extra obligations, and often "worrying for others." 

3. Having a deep-seated need to make others happy. Being a "people pleaser" with a great need for approval. 

4. Often lacking closeness with one or both parents, which sometimes, later in life, results in lack of closeness with spouse or others who would normally be close.

 
5. Harbours long-suppressed toxic emotions, such as anger, resentment and/or hostility. The cancer-susceptible individual typically internalizes such emotions and has great difficulty expressing them. 

6. Reacts adversely to stress, and often becomes unable to cope adequately with such stress. Usually experiences an especially damaging event about 2 years before the onset of detectable cancer. The patient is not able to cope with this traumatic event or series of events, which comes as a "last straw" on top of years of suppressed reactions to stress. 

7. Has an inability to resolve deep-seated emotional problems and conflicts, usually beginning in childhood, often even being unaware of their presence. 

It is very common for those with cancer to have a long-standing tendency to suppress "toxic emotions", particularly anger. Usually beginning in childhood, this individual has held in their hostility and other unacceptable emotions.   (the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer) 

Prostatecancertreatmenthelp.com answers the questions: How does emotional stress cause cancer in the body? And why does emotional stress only cause cancer in some people, while not in others?

Majority of people, coping with stress and highly stressful or traumatic events or conflicts is dealt with, with relative ease.  They see it as part of life's ups and downs.  These people are able to move on with their lives quickly afterwards.

Those susceptible to "cancer," are highly vulnerable to life’s stresses and trauma, and feel unable to cope when life throws a curve-ball their way. These people live in fear of conflict, stress, trauma and loss and are deeply frightened of negative events “happening” to them. And when faced with a highly stressful or traumatic event, react adversely and are unable to cope.

They experience "inescapable shock" and remain deeply affected by the experience. They have difficulty in expressing their inner grief, their inner pain, their inner anger or resentment, and genuinely feel there is no way out of the pain they are feeling inside. And because their mind cannot fathom what has happened, and remains in a state of disbelief or denial, these inner painful feelings are continually perpetuated, shooting up stress hormone levels, lowering Melatonin and Adrenaline levels, causing a slow breakdown of the emotional reflex centre in the brain, and creating the beginning of cancer progression in the body.

When faced with a major trauma, the cancer personality feels trapped and unable to escape from the memory of the traumatic experience and the painful feelings of the experience. Stress hormone Cortisol levels skyrocket and remain at high levels, directly suppressing the immune system, whose job it is to destroy cancer cells that exist in every human being. High stress levels generally means a person cannot sleep well, and cannot produce enough Melatonin during deep sleep. Melatonin is responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth. This means cancer cells are now free to multiply. Adrenaline levels also skyrocket initially, but are then drained and depleted over time. This is especially bad news for the cancer personality.

Adrenaline is responsible for transporting sugar away from cells. And when there is too much sugar in cells of the body, the body becomes acidic. This means normal body cells cannot breathe properly because of low oxygen. Cancer cells thrive in a low oxygen state, as demonstrated by Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg. Cancer cells also thrive on sugar to keep them alive. Put simply, too much internal stress causes a depletion of adrenalin, leads to too much sugar in the body, resulting in the perfect environment for cancer cells to thrive in the body.

For the cancer personality, the news of being diagnosed with cancer and the fear and uncertainty of death represents another Inescapable Shock, creating another spike in stress hormone cortisol levels, and a further drop in melatonin and adrenalin levels. There is also a further breakdown of the emotional reflex centre in the brain that causes cells in the corresponding organ to slowly breakdown and become cancerous.

Cancer occurs at the cellular level. And there are a number of factors that create stress on the body’s cells, causing them to become (1) depleted of adrenaline, (2) high in sugar and (3) low in oxygen, where they are more prone to mutate and become cancerous. The higher the sugar content of the cell caused by a depletion of adrenaline, and the lower the oxygen content, the greater the likelihood of normal cells mutating and becoming cancerous.

There are a number of factors that contribute to a normal cell becoming depleted of adrenaline, high in sugar and low in oxygen. Physiological stresses include: Poor nutrition, exposure to toxic chemicals, radiation, lack of exercise, etc. Psychological stresses include: supressed feelings, depression, isolation, emotional trauma, external conflict, poor sleep etc.

In the vast majority of those with cancer, there exists both a combination of psychological as well as physiological stresses that have contributed to the body’s cells becoming depleted of adrenaline, high in sugar and low in oxygen, causing them to mutate and become cancerous.   (the Truth About Cancer / Facts About Cancer)
