I am watching you on Morning Joe as I type this. I agree with much of what you say, but I take great exception with the certainty with which you state that there is not a psychosomatic element in some people's cancer. I agree that the preaching of toxic positivity is ridiculous and harmful and dismissive of valid feelings. Yet, the manner in which you dismissed as bunk that there is any psychosomatic element both to disease onset and treatment is irresponsible and reeks of the hubris that only science can explain anything--that metaphysics does not exist. I have not had cancer, but I did have a debilitating neuromuscular condition, and after living with it for years I finally had brain surgery. The surgery was successfully performed but did not relieve my condition. When I realized it was psychosomatic, I figured out how to cure myself. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/my-personal-experience-with-idiopathic-truncal-dystonia-dd10f0a13a25
