In this thesis, personal narrative has a new definition in addition to the patient's story. It is how the patient's story developed through the personal narrative which is comprised of four different aspects known as "The Big 4." Thought (the first aspect) produces the mental image (the second aspect) which moves to emotion (the third aspect) which affects the physical state (the fourth aspect.)

This research will not only illustrate how "The Big 4" creates one's personal narrative, it will also demonstrate how "The Big 4" affects one's well-being, both positively and negatively. Due to the research, I have altered and changed the way that I observe my patients. I have concluded that all the medical technology, qualified specialists, or pharmaceutical drugs in the world, cannot help a patient who does not want to help themselves.

Through research and interviews with eighteen different professionals, a determination can be made that personal narrative is involved in one's well-being. Either on a conscious or subconscious level, personal narrative influences whether an individual has a desire to get better or if they do not want to get better.

It is not science or a doctor who is in control of the patient; it is the patient who is in the driver's seat, except for emergency care. Examples in this thesis will demonstrate how personal narrative can be fooled by science and how science can be fooled by personal narrative.

The research around thought will start from the 1900's up to the development of neuroplasticity. There are several positive and negative examples involving personal narrative, placebo effects, pharmaceutical drugs, and electromagnetic field.

There will be a discussion of personal narrative and brain development, and what a difference a thousand genes make. There will also be investigation of central dogma and how personal narrative may override genetics due to genes, proteins, personal narrative, the stress response, and protein and cell receptors.

One unique finding with the research is that the term scientific may have a new meaning because some of the results cannot be explained scientifically. If humanity does not know how the earth was formed in reference to science, then how can humanity state that anything is scientific when it is based on a nonscientific beginning?

Since the personal narrative cannot be proven as being totally scientific, there is one word that can possibly explain it; that word is faith. Further research is needed in reference to faith and the relationship that it plays with personal narrative. Examples will be shown where spontaneous healing occurred possibly as a result of personal narrative connecting with thought, mental, and emotional, which ultimately affected the physical body.

Individuals need to understand that he/she must have faith in what they choose for themselves. From examples in this research, it appears that individuals receive what they desire. Sometimes, it is a life or death decision for the individual. The faith to know and the wisdom to understand the difference, when to look up for help or look inside themselves for help.

"The shoe that fits one person pinches another, there's no recipe for living that suits all cases." Carl Jung

This statement was written by Dr. Jung, a psychiatrist born in 1875, stating that one method doesn't exist that fits every individual. Examples in this thesis will show that no two individuals have the same personal narrative, therefore making everyone unique.

Was Dr. Jung's thinking based on scientific proof or was it a philosophy statement? One hundred and forty-five years later, a new question needs further exploration. "What came first? The disease or the disharmony in the personal narrative, which created the disease?"

Although there may be a group of individuals that disagree, I still believe from my experience, that the individual knows what the best choice is for them due to faith.
