We don’t know who has contracted SARS, who has the common cold, who has the flu…the power of suggestion can bring on these symptoms, too—I can guarantee you there are people in this crowd who think they are sick and are not. It’s human nature. When we’re near someone who is ill, our bodies become defensive. Those defenses can manufacture symptoms that mimic the perceived illness, and our minds are trained to fear those symptoms which perpetuates the problem.”
