They had talked late into the night, and Sarah even started reading The Biology of Belief when they finally called it quits. Now she lay in bed, unable to sleep. She is amazed at the scientific discoveries being made about how our thoughts and perceptions affect our behaviors and our health. She wants to read more, but she is already convinced that a person’s beliefs can have a very powerful influence in their lives.
Gwen made a very strong case for her decision that it was Brad’s HIV diagnosis that killed him, and not HIV itself; and Dr. Lipton’s book seems to confirm that negative programming can actually destroy someone’s immune system, leading to sickness and even death. After all, the latest studies show that almost every major illness that people get has been linked to chronic stress, and nothing damages the immune system like stress does. Sarah wonders about her own brother, but decides that the lethal drug he took, AZT, would have killed Greg regardless of what he might have believed. She pulls out her pad and makes some notes:
But what about a lot of other people who are told they are HIV-Positive? After more than twenty years of brainwashing, most people believe HIV causes AIDS, and if they are HIV-Positive, it means they’re going to die. Even if they don’t know that consciously, it has to be tucked away somewhere in the subconscious, implanted by the so-called AIDS experts and fed by the mass media, causing tremendous fear and stress.
If Bruce Lipton is right – if epigenetics play more of a role in our health than genetics itself; in other words, if fear can actually kill – are we literally murdering thousands of people every year just by telling them they are HIV-Positive? And if these HIV tests aren’t really accurate after all?...
