Okay so did you all see the Oprah special with the book and dvd "The Secret"? I bought the book and I just finished the chapter on the "Secret to Health." Basically the secret is the law of attraction, in short explanation...your thoughts and feelings control everything that happens to you in your life and you attract whatever it is that you put out. For health problems, we are supposted to think AND believe that our bodies are healthy, young, vibrant, etc...There are so-called stories of people who fought off cancer, bad eyesight, etc. by just "thinking" and pretending that it was gone and miraculously it was. I don't want to do the book or the theory any injustice by trying to explain it further b/c it is quite thought provoking and nicely written with so much more to say. I was just wondering if anyone else has read it and while we're on the topic of anxiety, I wish I could apply it's theory to my own anxieties about my health (not just IBS attacks, but all that goes with it...never quite feeling "wonderful" and "energetic" and ready to conquer the world.) Also, according to the secret, even being on these boards is keeping the "thoughts" of IBS in our minds, thus the universe will continue to give us IBS related things to be concerned about. Can anyone else shed some light on what they think about this?
