Does this make sense?!

Since every other person on the planet is talking about it, I might as well as joining the bandwagon. Of course, I'm talking about the swine flu!

By this time, I'm sure you would already have read so much about it. I'm not here to add any facts or fibs, just to add a few points from a different perspective.

Now, I'm a pharmacist by trade. I've been taught through out my career to believe in science. I like to think of myself as never been bought over drug companies, just purely interested in how drugs heal people. It's my training so far.

Then I was reading this summary on the Secret (http://www.thesecret.tv/top-secret-summary-of-teachings.html#health). The Secret believes in using the power of mind to achieve well being. That I have no objection, even advocating laughter has the best medicine. The conflict arises when it preaches about using emotions to treat.

Qoute, "As you appreciate, as you love, as you are happy, as you are grateful, you are summoning well being and it is pouring through your body and disease is vanishing in the moment."

I read that as positive emotions will heal without drugs or even consultation with the doc. Yes, I admit there are miracles in medicines but to say one does not need science is very contradictory to my trainings. The current swine flu outbreak, can being positive alone prevent the spread of it? We still do not understand enough about this flu strain, just behaving positively can ensure not catching the bug? I don't think so. Basic quarantine, hand hygiene, wearing mask.... all those are probably more effective at containing the potential pandemic.

Maybe I'm just thinking too much, contradicting myself. I don't know, not sure what to make of this....
