I have never seen the time since I first commenced magnetizing when I considered it necessary to give any name to diseases. I cannot see any use from it; it leads the mind astray, like the old witch stories used to frighten children. The only effect of a name to a disease is to frighten people so as to give physicians the power of working on the imagination, just like the political demagogues who get the people into a quarrel by making them believe their liberties are in danger for their own aggrandizement.
The people are deceived and put themselves under their charge and if they live to get out of their trouble, have the satisfaction of paying for their own folly. People legislate too much for their own good; if they would let the laws alone, they would soon understand them and keep out of trouble. So it is with diseases; destroy nine-tenths of the names and the people would be better off. Four out of five of the old chronic cases are the effect of false impressions. If the rising generation could grow up without these false impressions, you would not see so many persons going about drawn up, with the idea that they have got the consumption, dyspepsia, liver complaint, heart disease or some other of the thousand and one follies of this enlightened nineteenth century. The mind has as much to do with lameness as with diseases. I have had a great many cases of the above classes and have cured them without the aid of medicine by correcting the false impressions and pointing out where the trouble lay.PPQ
I release the questions of my heart to You, knowing Your wisdom is always
with me and with those I pray for, gently leading us in right ways. As I
relax deeper in the experience of Your presence, I feel Your power and I
have absolute faith that You, God, are directing me. I am on the path of
joy and happiness, peace, and fulfillment. Positive Christianity Encyclopedia of Prayer, categorized, specific need, written prayers you may print and use: http://www.positivechristianity.org/prayersearch.php
