I also strongly disagree with Jim's thesis. However... This time, Barry missed "cancer cannot get a foothold"--i.e., cannot "flourish and replicate."

I just finished reading a study in which a world-reknowned oncology (cancer) specialist was quoted as saying, "Every human being on the planet has one or more cancer cells in their body at this point in time. The question is whether they will flourish and replicate." (snip) Jim: "Once you know yourself, not just intellectually, but in every way possible, unbounded awareness, cancer cannot get a foot hold. Cancer is usually an emotional disease, although it eventually manifests physically. Any repressed block of emotion can solidify into a cancer."
