AB  - Throughout  history,  scientists  have  hypothesized  that  disease  can  be  affected  by  disposition  or  behavior.  Some  observations  extend  back  many  centuries  when  the  Roman  physician  and  philosopher  Galen  stated  that  "melancholy"  women  were  more  likely  to  develop  cancer  than  women  with  a  "sanguine"  disposition.1  Other  historical  observations  include  the  doctor  who  treated  the  author  Alexandre  Dumas  for  stomach  cancer.  This  doctor  believed  that  the  principal  causes  for  cancer  were  "deep  sedentary  study"  and  the  "anxious  agitation  of  public  life."2  The  Buddhist  teacher  Dogen  observed  in  his  Shobogenzo  that  people  are  less  likely  to  be  sick  when  life  is  removed  of  its  complications.  Although  these  ideas  were  primitive  in  their  nature,  modern  research  has  started  to  show  that  these  observations  were  not  far  from  the  truth.
