thought life, we create the conditions for illness; we make ourselves sick!
Research shows that fear, all on its own, triggers more than 1,400 known
physical and chemical responses and activates more than 30 different
hormones. There are INTELLECTUAL and MEDICAL reasons to FORGIVE! Toxic

consciously controlling your thought life is one of the best ways, if not
