Leukemia... Stress?!?

I have Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
I was wondering if stress can effect it in anyway at all?

In my opinion, everyone experiences stress. When they're diagnosed with any cancer, they experience quite a bit at first and more or less at different times over the course of treatment. Sort of like those people not being treated for cancer. <s>

Since we don't understand a lot about some illnesses, and since we believe we can somehow eliminate stress if only we try hard enough, I think that people (and doctors and researchers are people, too) associate stress with many illnesses, sort of as a way to explain what they can't. It's also a way to believe that you can have a greater influence on the course of the disease.

If we could get a lot of leukemia sufferers and sort them into a group that has stress and one that doesn't and watch what happens, that'd be great. But since we can't, and will never be able to, since stress is a part of the human condition, we'll never know.

But as a cancer patient x2, and the mother, sister and daughter of cancer patients, I can be certain of one thing. The less stress you feel, the happier you can be, with or without disease. And the more those around you (or worse, *you*) blame your emotional state for your disease, the more guilt you will feel.

The disease made you sick, not your head. But you do get to choose now how to deal with it.

Too much acidity in the body and Stress adds to that.

Kangen Anti-Oxidant water really hydrates on a cellular level and often results in detoxing and helps the body ph get into proper range.

The Alkaline Water helps eliminate acid waste from the body.

There really is no evidence at all that stress can affect the progress of any cancer.

As for acid/alkaline theories, this is a good article:
