"Vicious cycle disorder is simply a group of symptoms that is recurrent, non-responsive that rarely, if ever, improve and have a tendency over a period of time to actually get worse," says Dr. Richard DiCenso, leading authority in the field of Biological Fluid Analysis, author of Beyond Medicine: Exploring a New Way of Thinking, international speaker, and complementary care expert with over 30 years of medical experience. The problem is in knowing exactly how VCD develops so you are able to identify if you or a loved one are suffering from its symptoms. By making yourself aware of the four following contributors to VCD, you can protect yourself from falling into the vicious cycle of VCD. ~*~The Brain~*~ -If genes determine half of who you are, the brain determines the other half. -Stresses in your life, the way and place you were raised, and your belief system determine your subconscious and conscious reactions to life. In other words, your behavior patterns are learned. -If you change how you think, you change how you act. ~*~Thoughts~*~ -The average human mind thinks 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day. -The problem arises when a majority of these thoughts are on the same thing, or negative thoughts. -Because of the power of the human mind, negative thoughts can and will manifest physical symptoms with no direct physical cause. ~*~Media~*~ -Pharmaceutical drug companies specifically design their advertisements so you will recognize symptoms the drug treats and begin to think you have that disorder, leading you to doctors who will diagnosis that disorder. -Doctors may not always know what is wrong, and will make a diagnosis based on the symptoms you think you have. Communication with your doctor is paramount. -When you think you have a disease, eventually, you conform to the symptoms of the disorder by dwelling upon it. ~*~Behavior Patterns~*~ -Over your life, you develop patterns of behavior that may lead to negative symptoms later on. -The nature of your job and personal life, such as your sleep habits and diet, can accumulate and cause physical symptoms that your mind makes into a disease.
