Theres the widely known fact that when you think about something (a pain) it tends to get worse, and makes it so that it hurts a lot more. I know i've done it, hurt myself and ended up thinking about it and making it hurt all the more, and i'm sure people out there have done it too. Theres the general problem though, just how bad can things get if you continually think about them? Can you make your body actually believe that you are having medical problems?

You see, for a little over a year my bf has been telling me of lumps on his testicles, about the size of BBs. He says he has never been to the doctor (family doesn't have much money, and no health insurance) and gotten anything diagnosed, but he still says he is sure that it's Testicular/Prostate cancer. I'm wondering if someone believes that they have something bad enough can it confuse their body to the point where it believes that it has it, and makes it true?

There was an episode of House i watched once, where a girl was so convinced that she was pregnant that her body showed signs of it, excreting milk from her utters (yep :p [sorry trin to lighten things up, family joke]) Could this happen with other things, or even diseases and cancer?

For a while i have believed in the fact that there is something wrong with me, well ever since i was little really. (then i have my reasons, because it's probably true. Was born with something wrong with my blood, was in the hospital when i was born for a few weeks and they saved my life. Still don't know what it is or was today, but i wanna find out) I've guessed it has to do with intestinal issues do to some recent medical issues i'm having. When i think about it, and i've tested this, it tends to be worse than normal (the pain), and when i don't it tends to go away a little faster and not be as bad.

The main point of this, really, is me wondering if you could do the exact opposite of this and believe that your OK and make it so that your body is using your own body to fight something. Yeah, theres things like this, of course, but this is just me thinkin of my own idea.
They say that the main Psychic ability ceomes from the Solar Plexus and the upper chest area, and psychics and all do tend to get feeling there that could be felt as pain or something when getting a psychic "feeling." I'm wondering if perhaps you could find a way to tap into that area yourself and use that energy to strengthen your mindset while your thinking to yourself "I am not sick/i don't have this or that/I'm going to be OK" and make it so that it strengthens this feeling and maks it almost true. yes, you can take that energy through meditation and do this yes, and focus that energy on the area you wan't to be healed, but what about if you focus it on your mind? If you gain it to your mind or move it there, could it possibly strengthen your mental abilities and make it so that your body fights harder?

Just a little curious...get that way when i think of things like this...Plus it sounds really interesting and cool.
