Dear Louise,

     I have a friend who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I believe that if you can heal your mind of resentment, then your body can heal itself, and I just want him to fight this terrible disease. Is there anything you can recommend that can help my friend?

— S.M., Mexico City

Dear S.M.,

     I don’t approach a situation or even a condition in the body as an enemy; therefore, there’s nothing to fight. Now, if you would like to dissolve something, having it go back to the nothingness from where it came, then I would approach it as I suggest.

     You’re right—deeply held long-term resentment is always the mental pattern that accompanies cancer of any sort. The thyroid represents creativity. Parents often want their children to be just like them, so they repress the chid when he wants to express his own inner longings. Your friend needs to forgive his parents for this, if this was his situation. They were doing the best they could with their own understanding and knowledge at the time.

     Your friend can take the medical route for his healing, he can take the holistic path, or he could combine the two. That will be his choice to make, not yours.

     See this experience as a bump in the road of life, with lessons to be learned for both of you. Love your friend and keep visualizing him being well and happy, with a new approach to his life.

Dear Louise,

     I’m currently in a new relationship with a full-time single father who has a nine-year-old daughter. This girl has been suffering from Crohn’s disease for over a year. We’ve tried everything to help her: eliminating wheat, refined sugar, and dairy products from her diet and using alternatives like acupuncture, but her condition is getting worse. I think this might have to do with the fact that about a year ago a very nasty divorce between her father and mother was finalized. Is there anything we can do to help her metaphysically?

— G.T. Fresno, CA

Dear G.T.,

     Of course, the nasty divorce has everything to do with this child’s condition! People with this disease always feel very insecure and unloved. Everything else you’ve done with her diet is right. Now use lots and lots of love. Think about how you can help this dear child feel secure. What does she need to feel safe? She’s a precious little child and needs all the love you can give her. Keep affirming the best for her. Teach her mirror work. That is, have her look in the mirror and say, “I am safe, I am loved, and I am happy.” Have her do this several times a day if you can, and you can even do it with her. It will do you both good. Maybe Daddy could do it, too.

Dear Louise,

     I’m curious about what you think of the chiropractic world. Some friends have told me they don’t think having one’s back adjusted does anything for them, but my mother-in-law says she loves going to her weekly appointment. What are your thoughts?

— A.S., New Hampshire

Dear A.S.,

     Personally, I think if you want to release stress in your body, the perfect place to go is the chiropractor! But remember, you’re the only judge of what’s good for your body. So don’t listen to other people. Go and experience a session for yourself.

     I’ve been using chiropractors for many years and have received great benefits from them.
