What is an Exceptional Patient?
Person is confident they will beat back the disease and resume a normal life. They hold an optimistic view of their prognosis. They involve themselves in creative activities. They believe in the power of the mind to overcome disease. They refuse to participate in defeat. Their every thought and deed advances the cause of life. Peace of mind sends the body a “live” message. They take charge of their lives. They work hard to achieve health and peace of mind.
“They do not rely on doctors to take the initiative but rather use them as members of a team, demanding the utmost in technique, resourcefulness, concern, and open-mindedness. If they are not satisfied, they change doctors.”1
Exceptional patients are loving. They will give you a hug. They love themselves and others. They love life and accept the fact they will not live forever. Exceptional patents heal themselves. “ True healing not merely reversal of one particular disease.”2
