What Does The Role of Positivity Play In Recovery?
Staying positive after diagnosis plays an important role in overcoming serious diseases.
[MUSIC PLAYING] The importance of positivity in cancer survival and in facing any disease process has been shown scientifically. There is data to support this. I have seen patients with very grim outlooks, with very dismal prognoses, would basically refuse to give in and really excel. And I have seen the exact opposite. I've seen patients with other disease processes that have been cured of these diseases and then die unexpectedly early, just from malnutrition and depression and the effects they're in. And so positive thinking reinforces the immune system. It reinforces the nutrition and the exercise and things that patients really need to do to stay strong and to live longer feeling better.
