The Secret teaches how to become a winner in any situation. It also teaches how to turn any negative experiance around and use it to your advantage by focusing your attention on the positive (on what you want).
What is wrong with that? |
I would like my friend to stay alive!
In cases like this the best chance for recovery is offered by conventional medicine.
Yes, it's important to keep your friend on the positive side of things, but first follow your medical treatment. Every year thousands of people defeat cancer thanks to a wonderful science called medicine.
Now, while you are following your treatments there's nothing wrong with trying out some alternative medicine. I have heard of wonderful things being done with acupuncture to relieve the pain and nausea that comes from chemiotherapy. But stay with what has been proven to work, not with some new agey flap-doodle.
The danger in these cases is that the patient may find the treatment so traumatic that they turn to psychic healers for a less painful solution. The healer, bent on taking your money, will tell you to quit traditional treatment and follow his "procedures", since all ailments come from an imbalance in your flow of energy....or crap like that.
I don't want to say that all of these psychics are crooks, some are probably well meaning individuals, but on the other hand some of these individuals pray on the weakness and desperation of sick people.
I know, since this is exactly what happened to one of my relatives. This is nothing short of attempted murder.
I truly hope that none of the medical claims contained in the Secret push anyone to quit their treatments, or the "teachers" will have to respond to more than bad movie making.
