Achieving Health Goals Through Positive Thinking - The Healing Code
By John Watson

Positive thinking has been unfairly criticised at times for claiming to achieve more than it can deliver. It can't accomplish everything but then what else can?

An Irish banker, Dermot O'Connor, has recently demonstrated clearly the power of positive thinking. I listened to him talking to Gloria Hunniford, the host of the 'Heaven and Earth' Show, on BBC1 on July 30th, 2006.

8 years ago, Dermot had been a high flying banker working out of Dublin. He was used to travelling all over the world and, literally, had the world at his feet.

However, one morning he went to work and made an urgent business call. He started talking with slurred speech on the phone like a drunken man.

Everyone in the office started laughing. They thought that he had been drinking the night before.

Over the next few weeks he discovered that he had an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis. He had experienced two attacks in two months. His life fell apart.

He nearly died at the time of the diagnosis according to a lot of people. Doctors told him he could not be cured and that his quality of life would change dramatically and immediately.

He continued to take what he could from conventional medicine but sought help from other sources as well.
