Dr. Joy Kong argues that isolation worsens healing, especially for serious illness like cancer. She claims that caring for others—a neighbor, a grandparent, anyone in need—creates meaning that physiologically benefits the caregiver and is the healthiest thing you can do.
You want to get healthy, start caring about other people. Live life with purpose, on purpose, if that makes sense. Live life with purpose, on purpose. But you start to realize, I'm here for other people. Who is it today? I'm going to start caring for someone else. All of a sudden it's your grandma. All of a sudden it's a neighbor lady. Want to see your health change? You feeling sorry for yourself because you have cancer? Feeling you sorry yourself because you had this disease? That disease. You want to get healthier? Start caring for other people. And I honestly believe that is the truth. Caring for other people is the healthiest thing you can do. You want your protocol to get better, find people to care for, and it really works.
