These things have worked and continue to work for me. I go on solo canoe expeditions of up to 10 weeks, but don't overly stress myself physically while doing so.
Bullshit unless you can provide some tangible, measurable
mechanism to this effect you speak of. "Worked" for you does not mean anything given the evidence (or lack of) that you have provided. You have not shown that anything has "worked". The only thing that is apparent is that your cancer has not progressed. This is not exactly an odd occurrence.
What is the chemical pathway from hate to cancer? How does this
work? What are the mechanical components of hatred?
I have as much grounds to say that sex "works" for keeping me from having chickenpox, because I had chickenpox as a kid, but now that I am a sexual adult, I haven't ever had it again. I've been on extended hikes of up to 28 miles a day, but don't go too long without intercourse. Because of this, I am 100% sure that unfulfilled sexual desire can cause or contribute to chickenpox.
You see, these are just whimsical words thrown together. Unless you have some objective way of showing a link between emotional states and cellular damage, you might as well be talking about space-faring whale people using quantum fluctuations to trick your cells into repairing themselves.
Stress puts an additional strain on your system, this is true, but it does not cause cancers. This is about system
resources. Stress uses up resources. It might make some symptoms worse, but it is not the reason behind the symptoms. Being happy-touchy-feely-lubby-dubby doesn't fix problems in your system. Reducing stress may be JUST enough of a bump to your
system resources to give your immune system a boost in fighting an infection or virus or some such issue, but it doesn't miraculously fix damaged genetic material, and sweet thoughts are not what does the fighting with regards to invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
