I worry everyday that I have a disease and don’t know it. I worry about cancer cells and it terrifies me. I feel like if I eat a lot of food or stuff that ain’t good for you it’ll cause it and I have magical thinking that if I do specific things it’ll cause cancer. If I’m one good mood or relaxed my mind tells me that I’m gonna get a disease. I’m a nervous wreck all the time I just want to live a long healthy life. Anyone have these thoughts what do I do to stop these thoughts

A good offense. I researched what was actually working to head off cancer and became an expert on tests and symptoms. I also got educated and found out that many causes of cancer is not food but rather alcohol and sexually transmitted diseases. I found out that Vitamin D3 has been proven to cut risk of cancer and so I take that... I am also fasting and there is a lot of evidence that insulin is a massive contributor to cancer. |

I kind of feel this way. But just because I currently have the pain and loss of appetite and fatigue that goes along with it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
