Venezuela's Hugo Chavez slid into a coma the day before he died of respiratory failure after cancer spread into his lungs, sources say.

Chavez's precise condition was one of the world's best-kept secrets since his cancer was announced in June 2011.

Since his death this week, however, details have emerged of the 58-year-old president's battle with cancer and the last moments in the hospital with close family and senior aides.

Maybe the mental attitude which can help recovery, might have an initial effect in some rare cases.

"too bad he didn't last another year or so suffering in agony, cause he didn't suffer nearly as much as he should have... "

Not to worry, his suffering has only just begun.

Can’t ask better than that.

This one’s a bit more “exotic” and coast2coast-like:

Thanks for that.
It does appear that the mind has power, which we do not yet fully understand, over the condition of our bodies.
It would appear ,to me, to be a reasonable statement that the mind can induce on some occasions an illness that is capable of occurring naturally.
We must ,i feel, be careful not to blame the mind for all occurrences of Cancer as there are clearly external environmental factors to be taken into consideration.
Such as chemical pollution ,radiation overexposure,and physical genetic damage to the cells.
I guess it is a mystery that will take a lot more research to eventually obtain a definitive answer.
