GM already wrote most of what needed to be written but I’ll emphasise this point: Don’t underestimate the effect of the state of mind on the body. There are tons of studies out there which support a direct correlation between the amount of stress one perceives and the recovery of the body. Additionally, people who believe that they will recover often recover faster than people who are in a dour mood and desperate about their situation. So it ain’t that odd as we might think at first.
