How can the mind affect physical diseases? It is well known that the mind can cause physical symptoms. For example, when we are afraid or anxious we may develop: a fast heart rate, palpitations, feeling sick, shaking (tremor), sweating, dry mouth, chest pain, headaches, a 'knot in the stomach', fast breathing. These physical symptoms are due to an 'overdrive' of nervous impulses sent from the brain to various parts of the body, and to the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream when we are anxious. However, the exact way the mind can cause certain other symptoms is not clear. Also, how the mind can affect actual physical diseases (rashes, blood pressure, the extent of heart disease, etc) is not clear. It may have something to do with nervous impulses going to the body which we do not fully understand. There is also some evidence that the brain may be able to affect certain cells of the immune system, which is involved in various physical diseases. http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000225/ |

I want to start my own Cult!
On topic, just because one (or many) peice(s) of information state something does not necessarily make it true. Arguements for both sides can be made and nobody comes out winning. All you can hope for is to be informed and make a decision based on what's right for you. Tom Cruise is losing his fucking mind and that's pretty apparent! |

I would never get that far involved with Scientology. Becoming "clea" simply means you have gotten rid of all your engrams. for those that do not know. engram: A physical alteration thought to occur in living neural tissue in response to stimuli, posited as an explanation for memory. the engram and getting rid of them is the bssis of scientology. |

Whatch the video. Tom Cruise is DUMB, you will see by his LACK OF UNDERSTANDING MATT.

I was put under psychiatry after a violent death of a cousin in front of me at 11. Have suffered palpitations, anxiety, stress, depression, and panic attacks since then. Nigtmares more often than not. I take no pills. I know there are sick people in the world, but not everyone is as sick as they make out to be, and not all of us Americans are running around doped on pills to keep us in line. I am medication free, and have been my entire life. And believe me, I could get on pills a phone call away. I chose not to. Doctors wanted to put me on medication when i was 12. I am 29 and have never had a pill prescription written for me. |

My POV : antidepressants could help you when you have serious mental problems but psychiatrist prescribing them too easy. Sometimes therapy or changing some things in you life would work better. In the other hand people like fucktard Cruise who believe in scientology cult and give them milions of dollars every year are totally stupid

Many people self medicate with illegal drugs and alcohol. It doesn't mean their illness isn't real, it just means they self medicate the illness.
|
If you believe some illness like cancer is not in the head then it is not logical to assume lesser illnesses are all in the head.
|
Tom Cruise is obnoxious...and an idiot to boot!

i admittedly self medicated myself for years. as someone who did this, i can attes to this being absolutely true. My experience is also what gives me strength, as I am the one who lives with the anxiety and panic of past trauma. self medicating is worst than the actual illness in most cases. Im glad i cut all that out, and have been doing a lot better. Its been months. |

The common cold is real. AIDS is real. STD's are real. You can make a case for some mental disorders but not for most conditions and illnesses. It can have little to do with chemical imbalances and much more to do with viruses ,bacteria, and infection. And those are very real. |

The mind is limited against real illnesses. People dying of cancer and other horrible diseases often seek alternative healers to help cure them after usual medical methods have failed. These people believe they will be cured. However, if they have a fatal disease 99.9% of them die anyway because the mind can't change that.

And by that. I'm referring to a time when I was going through an acute phase and needed help and help quick However once I was "evened" out I stopped taking the meds, and started looking at what were really causing the problems that led me to anxiety and to this day I have anxiety attacks but no where near the intensity i had before and I have been off the prescribed drugs for years. However I can't believe it's all psychosomatic. You can see MRI's catscans etc of the brain and there is a noticeable difference of people with and without mental illness. |

it helped me. |
I saw a replay of it this morning, cruise came off as a complete know it all prick, which is what you would expect. I felt bad for Lauer getting talked down to the way he did.

Aren't you a huge pot head Fletch? Wouldn't that help you with the symptoms you've described?
"anxiety, stress, depression, and panic attacks since then (age 11). ...I take no pills. ...not all of us Americans are running around doped on pills to keep us in line. I am medication free, and have been my entire life." |

but i see your point, by "medication", in that post i did in fact mean "doctor prescribed"

80% of the time people dont need anti-depressants that are taking them. They are way over-prescribed. BUT thats not to say that some people dont get genuine relief from them.. This goes for ALOT of drugs..
But to be perfectly honest, I'm not a doctor and neither is tom cruise. He thinks he knows , but really he is just a brainwashed idiot who thinks he has all the answers ( or scientology does ) As with the bible it has some great life instructions, but it also has alot of useless garbage that can be interpretted very differently by different people. |

Like i think 2 "normal" people can have markedly different brain activity. I also think that the "anxiety" influx in society today is a direct result of things we are making/doing not a sudden change in brain patterns or brain chemicals, so to try to chemically balance the effects of things we are creating prob isn't the smartest idea. I had my own problems quite recently with "anxiety attacks" something i have never had , and found most irritating and sudden. I could not figure or the life o me what these attacks were coming from. Every doctor i spoke to wanted to put me on some sort of brain chemical balancing drugs.. The silly thing was is in the back of my mind i correlated the problems i was having with the carpal tunnel symptoms i was also having, and it turned out IT WAS. The whole problem was working on the computer at a strange angle. New chair new keyboard mouse and every symptom VANISHED like no magic you have ever seen.. I can't tell you how amazed i was that such a simple problem could have turned into such strange symptoms. While i'm sure this isnt everyone's solution , i think most people would be suprised at what's really causing them problems.. |

What caused me to seep into this issue with panic was going through a few very traumatic times in my life and allowing that to alter how I accepted challenges...and by that I started to take the road more often travelled. I started looking for security in love, family, work etc. When in reality there is nothing secure in this world. I had to break free from that and quit taking the safe way out and face fears. I still deal with issues that trigger anxiety, I don't go out of my way to confront them because it's just not feasible but I don't go out of myway to avoid them. I remember a time sitting on a hospital gurney after about the umpteenth time in just a few weeks being sedated saying to myself. "I have to stop dying, and start living." And now that's what I do. |

Well, like most people on GFY I only read half of what I want, and make judgements on other people. Personally, I don't care if you are a pot head or not. You seemed a tad more cooler when you were though. All this scientology talk is a bit too much for me. I always considered you one of the elite free thinkers and now it SEEMS like you have been drawn into a way of thinking that follows a very contraversial religion. I've been to the scientology website. I read through it's various articles. I know only a little bit about it. But I know enough to know that it's conformist thinking. I have not investigated or read this site beyond it's first two statements. http://www.skeptictank.org/cos-rol.htm?FACTNet Again. I AM JUDGING YOU and really don't know you. I just assumed you were a free thinker. Perhaps you still are. I thought one day we would hang out and have a smoke or a drink. |
I think your taking 2 + 2 and ending up with 5.
Yes, depression or anxiety prone people are more prone to getting a cold, but thats because those conditions raise blood pressure, increase your heart rate, and weaken your immune system. Thus making you more at risk of catching the common cold. It doesnt mean that the common cold isnt real. Thats ludicrous. But thats not what Tom Cruise was saying. He is just advocating the use of positive thinking over prescription drug use. Basically dont rely on the cure, but take preventative measures. If you rely on drugs, you will never get better, you're just masking the problems. And on that note, im not sure why people give him and Scientologists such a hard time. Thats what they believe, who cares, let them. Scientologists are no more of a cult then any other organized religion. Just because they are a newer crutch, doesnt make them less credible then the older more established crutches. |

He also said there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance. Doctor Tom's Medical degree from the Church of Scientology allows him to know such things. |
