Reconciling XMRV and Gupta

Yup, the snowball is rolling fast and growing, that's great for us! They won't be able to hide this disease anymore

here's something that might explain it a little bit

and meditation or gupta would affect stress hormones

Neil, I think it depends on what you mean by cure. For the last few days, I've felt completely healthy. But because I know what leads to relapses for me--pessimism, depression, general stress, combined with working out too hard-- I don't know if I'll ever consider myself cured, because I understand there's always a chance that these problems will get the better of me. I believe that, yes, there is something inside of me which makes me prone to being ill, but I also believe that it's up to me whether or not I trigger whatever that thing is. It might be XMRV, and it might not (I haven't been tested).

I would wager that all of the people that relapse after they've been healthy for a year or two are people that, as you said, stop using the Gupta techniques. But that doesn't mean Gupta isn't amazing for what it can do. There are so many people out there that would give anything to be healthy, even if it means having to meditate and use the other techniques for the rest of their lives.

I don't doubt that maybe one day, we'll find a cure that might make Gupta unnecessary. After all, it's always easier to take pills and shots than it is to change your own thought patterns. But I still think that Gupta is a "cure" in any sense that we'd care about.
