wouldn't that also mean that weight loss ads would make me lose weight without having to exercise?

go to your local gym between january 2nd and March 1st...then compare to August...... collective conscious via new year resolutions brought to you by tv/radio ads....

do you work for my local gym?
my statement was one that points out no TV commercial can do anything on its own. a lot of those "gym memberships" are due to "new years resolutions" not tv commericials.
like comparing chalk and faeces.

Just a quick note***
I purposefully avoid TV and commercial radio, and get my News via a number of indy-online sources.
So I'm hanging out with Family this weekend (Live in the Midwest/USA), and the TV is on and I notice, pretty much every other commercial is about Cancer and all sorts of different channels, but I leave it alone.
Then I go hang out with my sister and we're having a writing session in her writing room (both working on books). She's got some relaxing spanish guitar music playing on Pandora Internet radio and guess what????? Cancer Commercials!!!! 2 of them in 1 hour!!!!!
I have this feeling that all these Cancer commercials are actually subconsciously programming people to develop Cancer. My sister brought this to my attention as a possible theory.
What you say ATS Folks????

I have not yet developed hard core abs from watching endless ab commercials every night for the 18 months of being laid up in a bed (nasty accident) and don't get me started on the extenze infomercials.

Let me guess, you drive a Hummer.
Or perhaps a vette?
You sets em up. I knocks em down!

the comparison holds valid weight. Go to other countries which do not have get in shape infomercials playing all night, and you will see a different set of new years resolutions and priorities compared to physical appearance in the west. its a valid comparison. Whats in the ether is brainwashing the collective towards a specific bias...

Thoughts are the seeds of our physical realities.
It is important that we censure what we allow to enter and take hold in our minds; this is because we wish to manifest a wholesome experience. This is weeding the garden, disallowing unwholesome impressions and consideration.
Constant consideration of disease, I think, may promote diseases in the body. And to focus in a healthy state mentally, encourages healing physically.
It follows that, esoterically, it would be healthiest for the mind to not consider cancer at all, rather than constantly holding the IDEA of cancer- particularly in the fear-based sense in which the commercial is presenting it.
I understand the premise of the original post.

leaping directly to subconscious spontaneous contraction of cancer from an anticancer ad is ... well... lunacy

Ask your doctor if medical advice from a TV commercial is right for you?
