Logophobia

Sometimes I wonder if all illness is psychosomatic. Any scientist worth his salt will tell you this is not the case, that psychosomatic illness lies in a completely different category from most sicknesses and that the two should be treated and dealt with differently. But my thought is, if you can make yourself sick with only the power of your mind, can you not heal yourself through positive thinking? If I could now recall every story I've ever heard of people who "fought the illness to the end" I would have examples, but sadly I do not; I can only suppose that perhaps the reason I am sick so infrequently is due to my own mindset about illness. But I could be wrong.

And I probably am.
