JOHN MCINTOSH & ELIZABETH MCINTOSH – HOW TO ERASE NEGATIVE THINKING
Good question.
Doctor John McIntosh and Rev. Elizabeth McIntosh, authors of an important new book, MASTERING NEGATIVE IMPULSIVE THOUGHTS, use “nits” as both an acronym for their book’s title and as an analogy for the clearly unhealthy effects of negative thinking.
“Negative thoughts occur impulsively, so that is why they are Negative Impulsive Thoughts, or NITs, for short,” the authors say. “The nice analogy is that nits are also head lice and both (nits and NITs) are irritating, contagious, hard to recognize, hard to eliminate, breed fast, and spread like an epidemic.”
Unlike other, similar books that claim to have a magic route to happiness and health, MASTERING NEGATIVE IMPULSIVE THOUGHTS is based on solid clinical research, say the authors, who together have extensive experience in general medicine, medical research, and holistic health/wellness practices.
“Through our clinical experience, we have found that people have Negative Impulsive Thoughts and don’t realize it,” says Doctor John. “It’s the first time anyone in this field has actually defined negative thoughts so they can be recognized with three effective questions and given the reader a three-step process to treat them. This is a revolutionary new approach with many techniques to change the way you think forever! Evidence from medical research … clearly proves that controlling negative thinking can increase your lifespan by nine years; reduce heart attacks, strokes, cancers, infections, and mental illness; increase your productivity and creativity; and cause measurable increases in anti-oxidant levels in your blood.”
“This is not a soft and fluffy subject,” adds Elizabeth. “It has major physical and psychological effects on your health, well-being and productivity. This book gets people to reflect on their own internal dialogue, and once they recognize their NITs, they are able to take control over them and empower their lives.”
Doctor John also notes that, from a medical perspective, “We see people all the time who have bad emotional experiences and then develop life-threatening diseases. There’s a strong correlation medically that thinking negatively has a direct effect on people’s health. From a clinical perspective, controlling negative thoughts is just as important as not smoking, exercise and eating a low fat diet!”
