Cancer: Unexpressed Anger, Grief, Resentment and Hate
There is much evidence to suggest that repressed anger, hate, resentment and grief are the root emotional causes leading to the development of cancer.
Feelings are created by the mind for the sole purpose - to be expressed. If negative feelings are not expressed, they remain trapped inside the body and over time cause physical illness. This is due to high levels of stress within the body and can also be due to a break down of the emotional reflex centre in the brain.
Trapped or repressed negative feelings are harmful to the body and increase a person's level of the stress hormone Cortisol - a hormone which has been found in many studies around the world to directly suppress immune system functioning. When the immune system is not functioning properly, cancer cells, that exist in every human being, can multiply and form tumor sites.
In addition, suppression of anger, hate, resentment and grief, usually after a traumatic event, can also damage the emotional reflex centre in the brain, causing it to slowly break down. When this centre breaks down, it will start sending wrong information to the corresponding organ it controls, resulting in the formation of deformed (cancer) cells in that organ.
Most importantly high stress levels deplete adrenaline reserves, that when low, create the perfect cancer environment.

just as I have always thought so ... our health is a manifestation of the emotions contained within us
